Claim Settled

Denny Hannifin of the third house
at Bismarck, received last week draft
from Washington for $40. 09 in payment
of a claim he has been trying to get
from the government for AZ years. When
in the war he turned over to the quarter
master the equipment in his charge. he
was one bayonet short. He made it good
by paying ST but took receipt describ
ing in minute detail the weapon and
vowed to make Uncle Sam make it good.
He put in claim but there were only
900, 600 ahead of him so he had despair
ed of getting anything. 1t has been IL
years since he heard from the claim.
but last week he received a draft in
payment of his claim of one dollar. with
$19. .O9 interest.

RANCH SOLD
Big Real Estate Transfer in Dunn
County. Brademeyer Ranch
Brings Big Price from Eastern
Company. 5000 Acres Sold.

Another big Dunn county land deal
was comsumated the past week, making
several large transfers of real estate in
that county within the last few months.
Cornelius Williams of the Spring
Valley Land. d.Co. of Taylor was in the
city Monday and reported to the PRESS
the sale of the Henry Brademeyer ranch
of 1000 acres to Sylvester Bros. of St
Paul. The price paid was about S. an
acre, or something like $40, 900 in all.
This land is located about two miles
south Of Kniferiver and includes some
fine agricultural tracts 1t is the inten-
tion of the purchasers to sell the land
in small parcels to new comers to the
state.
MIR. Brademeyer will not give posses
sion of the land until about the first of
October. This will give him time to
fatten up all of his cattle and dispose of
them before he gives up his ranch. He
bought the land number of years ago
at small amount per acre and realized
a good profit from the sale.
Mr.. Brademeyer, whose postofice
address is Tayor, has not made any
plans for the future after he turns over
his ranch to the new owners, He is one
of the successful cattle raisers of Dunn
county and has been in the business for
quite good MANY years. He is also a
stockholder in the Taylor State bank.
There are now very few big ranches
in Dunn county, which have not been
sold to land companies for retail trade.
A few choice tracts are held by Dickin-
son parties and there are few of the
old-time ranchers who are still grazing
large tracts of land in the broken
country.

MAKING CHANGES
All Old Entries at Local Land
Office Placed in New Serial Form
This Week Will Greatly Expedi-
ate the Keeping of Records.

This week all the old entries at the
Dickinson land Office made prior to July
1, 1908. have been arranged in serial
order under the direction Of W. B. Neu-
man of Washington D. c., a special
inspector of the interior department. It
took several days to complete the work
and the assistance of nearly all of the
local force of employees.
When this district was a part of the
Bismarck district, all entries were num-
bered at that Office. The creating of a
new district here necessitated removing
all the entries which pertained to this
district from Bismack and the numbers
were not changed. The Dickinson Office
began with No. and used the consecu-
tive numbers all the years until last
July. At that time orders came for a
new serialization. commencing with OF
and since then all entries have been
numbered according to that serial.
In order to make it easier to turn at
once to any entry and find the whole
history at glance. the contests. if there
are any, decisions, etc., and to make
the numbers uniform. all the old entries
prior to July 1. 1908. have been re-num-
bered and given the same serial form
as the more recent cases. Starting with
the oldest entry in the district and Civ
ing it the serial number following the
last entry made this week before the
change was commenced. the consecutive
numbers have been given and all entries
made during these few days will not be
numbered until the work is completed.
This will then give all the entries the
same serial.
While the serial form will not cores
pond to the time of filing, it will make
it just, as easy for reference and the
fact that an entry made Tuesday night
may be numbered .O29O0 and one made
early Wednesday morning .092S0 will
not affect the expediency Of the plan.
1t was expected that there would be
about s. 600 live entries given the serial
number. All the dead and cancelled
entries are left out.

MOTHER MAD
Mott Woman Taken from Hus.
band and Five Children in
Pitiful Condition. Insane and
Must Enter the Asylum.

The last chapter in a most pathetic
case was enacted this week when Mrs.
Elizabeth Weih, living in Hettinger
county, was removed to an insane
asylum in Illinois, violently and perhaps
'hopelessly mad. A happy home Of a
father, mother and five children has
been completely broken up and the
family scattered in all directions.
Almost a year ago the father came to
Hettinger county from Illinois to settle
on q homestead, 20 miles south of Mott.
He made q good start and sent for his
wife and five children. The mother had
not been here long when she developed
signs of insanity. Her case became a
violent one and the safety of her
loved ones was threatened so on Monday
of this week she was adjuged insane
by the official county board of Mott and
ordered taken to her home in Cook
county, Illinois, which includes Chi
cago.
The unfortunate woman was brought
to Dickinson Tuesday by Sheriff Henry
Barry and left for Chicago. accompanied
by her husband. There she will prob
ably be committed to the Kankakee
asylum.
Her case is almost hopeless and it
has been necessary to break up the
home. Three of the five little ones have
already been provided with good homes
and arrangements will be made for the
others.
The sheriff said that he would take
time to visit for a day or two in the
Tw in Cities on his return. He has to
be in Mott early the coming week to
look after some official sales.

EASY TIME OVER
New Ruling Cuts Out Privileges
of Appointive Government EN-
= ployes Filing on Claims. After
April Must Adhere to Law.

The government employee or the state
or county officer who files on home
stead after April 1. 1909, will no longer
have the easy time that his fellow en-
ployees have had. He can no longer
take up claim, be absent from it on
account of official duties and get his
patent as soon as the fellow who has to
follow the homestead law to the letter.
Uncle Sam has come to the conclusion
that he has been worked and that these
privileges have been taken advantage
of in quite good many cases. So he
has issued an order that after the first
of April all appointive officers. who file
on claims will have to live up to the
land Office regulations the same as any
homesteader.
The only privileged ones are those who
are elected to Office. Those who are
affected include postmasters and their
assistants and clerks, mail carriers and
all persons holding positions through the
civil service. Government employees,
who have filed on claims and received
their appointments previous to April
of this year. will not be required to
follow the new ruling.
The following are extracts from the
order which was received at the land
Office this week:
For many years it has been the prac-
tice of the department to permit
homestead entryman who had establish
ed residence upon his claim and after
wards had been elected to federal, state
or county office to be absent from his
entry if required by his official duty and
to consider such absence constructive
residence upon his claim.
This privilege has led to such Grave
abuse that the objects of the homestead
law have been to areat extent de-
feated. Therefore the Department has
decided to discontinue the said practice
in so far as it has been applied to per-
sons appointed to Office and limit it to
persons elected to office.
It is not intended to disturb the status
of persons who have acted under the
rule heretofore, prevailing. nor to deny
the benefit Of the rule to persons who,
prior to April I, 1909 shall have been
appointed to such Office. Persons hav-
ing homestead entries who enter upon
public service in non-elective positions
to which they were not appointed prior
to above date will be required to comply
fully with all of the provision
of the homestead law just as other set
tlers.
