According to AdviCes Recently

Townsite Company will Issue Warranty

Received
PATENT WILL ISSUE AT ONCE

Word was received Monday from w ash
ington of the validity of the scrip on the
original 4O.acre t8Wnsite of Willard.
This scrip has been bug bear to VIII
lard investors, and has prevented large
number of people from making substan-
tial improvements to their property
here. The effort to have the location Of
the scrip approved fell down about the
time the Willard -Estancia county seat
fight was on last winter, and doubtless
hadits effect in that contest. 1t also af-
fected the value or property in every
portion of the city, as serious doubts as
to the validity of the costly scrip used
in locating the first townsite cast its
shadow over the whole townste, and
kept homeseeR ers from making any in
vestments in Willard. The town COM
pany has given assurance that warranty
deeds will be issued just as soon as the
patent is received, and doubtless this
will be done, inasmuch as abcence Of
satisfactory title has cansed coneider-
able loss. The advices from Washington
were to effect that the script has been
approved, and instructions given to is
sue patent to the town company at
once. The scrip used OH the original 40
acre townsite at Willard was what
is known as Sioux half-breed, and cos
several times as much as other scrip.
Sufficient title to satisfy any investor,
can now be given to Willard real estate.

Fire Threatens
News 0ffi60

Fire started in the west end of the
News Print Shop Wednesday morning
about eleven O'Clock, sparks having
blown against the west wall, igniting
the wall and floor underneath. Promt
action on the part of neighbors and
friends, soon had the flames under con-
troll, before much damage had been
done. Had the five gained headway
with the west wind blowing as it was,
the whole block would soon have been
reduced to ashes. Within very few
minutes after sounding the alarm, the
bucket brigade was lined up for duty,
and pouring a stream of water on the
fire, which would put many a city fire
brigade to shame.
