JUMPED HIS CLAIM.

Some time ago the officials of the
United States land office, located in this
city, listened to testimony in case. in
which woman had jumped a mans
claim, and they made a decision in
favor of the woman. The Interior de-
partment has since reversed the local.
officers decision and ordered judgment
for the complainant, or rather the
homesteader. The man, Seth II. Colby,
formerly lived in Portage county and
used to visit relatives in this city, end
therefore became acquainted wit I a
number of our people. He has be n a
cripple since boy, having been ffven
too much cslcmal for disease with
the result that the drug shriveleG up his
legs from the knees down, so that ever
since he has been obliged to navigate
on his knees. He took up homestead
claim in Adams county and cleared
about twenty-five acres. He then got
permission from the government to go
to a near by town and open a peanut
stand, that he might earn a few dollars.
After his departure a woman came
along, jumped the claim and took pos
session of his home.
Colby has now started legal proceed
ings to oust the woman and at the same
time compel her to pay him rental
for the use of his property and damages
for timber removed.
1t is one of the most interesting cases
time, and the officers, in making their
decision, were guided by the fact that
homesteader cannot according to law
live somewhere else and retain home
stead.

The five mile motor cycle race on
| Friday afternoon was'the most exciting
thing on the fair grounds that day
There were five entries and the race
was won by John Schwister in 7:4S. II
was plainly discernable to those on the
grounds that he should have made the
five miles in less time, but he held back
his machine for the purpose of making
a better race of it. He rode Harley &
Davis made especially for racing. He
went around the track at the rate of
thirty-eight miles an hour, which is
going some.
There was not a mishap on the
grounds except that one jockey had his
sulky overturned, without any injury
to himself. The accident resulted from
two horses running into one another.
The Otoro japanese troupe and Leroy
and Levanion gave exhibitions daily on
the grounds and on the court house
square evenings. Both combinations
are excellent. The japanese, in their
stunt, showed the remarkable steadi-
ness of nerve characteristic of the little
| yellow man. Leroy and Levanion, in
| knock-about work on the horizontal
bars, performed some of the best acts in
that line ever seen in the city. Both
combinations are artists in their line
There were more refreshment stands,
doll racks, etc, on the grounds this
year than ever before and ali seemed
to do fairly good business
In the poultry exhibit Frank Synnott's
White Plymouth Rock chickens and
trio of Chinese pheasants formed an in
teresting part. Mr.. Synnott's chickens
have won first prizes in poultry exhib-
its in this state and Minnesota and are
fine birds.
The asylum had larger display this
year than usual, consisting of every
thing raised on the farm, canned fruits
and vegetables and seven head of deer,
raccoons, grey squirrels, badger, etc.
AS is customary, the patients were
brought to the grounds in conveyances
each day and apparently fully enjoyed
the show
The cattle displ2y was not as large
as last year, owing to the fact that there
was but one outside exhibitor. Every
barn was filled, however, and it was
plainly perceptable that Marathon
county's herds of pure blooded stock are
increasing The farmers around Athens
have gone largely into the grade stock
of Guernseys. The late Fred Rietbrock
introduced the Guernsey breed into
that section and set the farmers a think
ing. AS result the people of that Sec
ton today have the best herds of dairy
cattle to be found anywhere in the
county.
The peg races each day were a novel
ty, but perhaps will be cut out another
year; for the reason that the people
demand something fast and nerve-stir-
ring.
