rough usage. The boy is son 81
William Manhart, conductor on the
S. F. u N. The father was absent
Monday and his wife secured a
warrant for Connor's arrest, the
charge being made a nominal one
of jisorderly conduct. Conner put
up $40 bond, which he jumped
and forfeited and nothing more has
been heard of the case, the authori-
ties evidently figuring that the bond
represented the amount of fine that
would be collected. No bench war
rant was issued for Billy.
Mrs. Manhart says she has been
obliged to take the boy out of
school on account of injury to his
head sustained by Conner hitting
him or throwing him to the ground.
She has been told by number of
persons who saw the affair that
Connor's attack on the boy when
he found him playing with ball
he thought had been stolen from
the game was brutal and llncalled
foE The boy had the ball tucked
in his shirt when Connofs caught
him AMI tore 1t out He says he
threw the boy to the ground, but
his mother believes it can be
proved that he hit him, leaving
ring mark on young Manhart's
face. At any rate it was neces-
sary to summon a doctor to bring
the boy back to consciousness after
Conner got through with him.
The injury to his head is now be-
lieved to be more serious than first
supposed Mrs. Manhart believes
that the justice of her sons case
on the grounds of assault has been
overlooked by the prosecuting ma
chinery on account of Connor's &C.
quaintance and personal popularity.
1t certainly looks as if he had for
gotten himself in making a violent
attack on boy minor over the mat
ter of a baseball The mother is
confident her son did not steal the
ball, but got it from another boy.

Settlers Win Case.

sloner OF the Department OF the
Interior which will be of interest tc
MANY Siletz settler, some of whose
case is similar. Following is the
decision and article printed in the
Portland Oregonian of last Friday
Evidence that the entryman on
public land in this state, who has
acted in good faith, has nothing to
fear at the hands of the Depart
ment of the Interior, is found in
the recent decision of H. H.
Schwartz, Acting Assistant Com
missioner, in the contest proceed
ings of J. l.. Campbell against
Arthur c. Boeschen. This contest
involved the title to valuable claim
in the Siletz district and has been
pending before the Department for
several years. A copy of the opin-
ion was received yesterday by A.
w. Lafferty, who appeared as at
torney for the contestee.
The cancellation of Boeschen' s
homestead entry was recommended
to the Department by the Register
and Receiver of the Portland Land
Office, following the report of a
special agent who, on investigation,
held that the entryman had not
honestly complied with the provis-
ions of the homestead laws. The
Acting Commissioner holds that the
contestant did not support his
charges of nonresidence and non
cultivation on which he based his
claim for a revocation of Boechen S
entry and orders the contest dis
missed.
Referring to the testimony of the
entryman at the hearing of the con-
test before the Land Office officials
in Portland, the Acting Commits
sioner holds that Boeschen settled
on the land in 1901 and built
good house. Two years later he
constructed another house, and be-
tween the date of entry and final
proof he cleared about an acre and
a half of land and raised vegetables.
He also set out some fruit trees.
After establishing his residence,
Boeschen admitted that he was
away about half of the time, but
never was absent from the claim
longer than six months at time.
He testified further that he was on
the claim in the Spring, Summer
and Fall, but he could not remain
there throughout the year for the
reason that if he did he would starve
to death. During these intervals
Boeshen said he worked at Toledo,
Salem and Eugene, but declared
that he had no fixed residence other
than on his claim.
On the question of residence, Act
ing Commissioner Schwartz, in his
opinion, dismissing the contest,
says:
1t is true he (Boeschen) could
not give specific dates, but owing to
the lapse of time that was but
natural. But he gave the approx
mate time he lived on the claim and
shows that his absences were caused
by his necessities, and if he estab-
lished residence, and you do not
find that he did not, his subsequent
absences may be deemed excusable.
AS against the theory of OCCASION
al visits stands the fact that two
years after entry contestee built an
addition to his house, or, as he
terms it, built another house. !"
Now, if he was endeavoring to ac-
quire title to this land by occasional
visits, why go to this unnecessary
expense? If contestee is telling the
truth, he did this about year prior
to the time that he was entitled to
