HoMESTEADER DENIES
FRAUDULENT CLAIM
MADE By GOVERNMENT

Sioux Falls, g. D., Jan. 27.--John f.
Ryan, of Sioux City, will defend his
title to his homestead near Chamber
lain, which the government claims he
secured by fraud in 1903, before Will
am Wallace, United States commits
sioner at Aberdeen, who has been APP
pointed special examiner to take testi-
mony by Judge Garland in federal
court. 4
The plea OF the government, which
has been in the courts for five years
past, is that Ryan never established an
actual BONA fide residence on his 100
acres. They refute the alleged resi-
dence which was filed December z, 1908,
and said to have extended to that time
from February 10 of 1903.
The government further alleges that
Ryan visited the homestead, but three
times in the entire time, each of which
visits extended over q period OF not
more than four days. The federal at
torneys further state there were no
signs OF cultivation, not even grazing,
lands, and no improvements, with the
exception OF q house, which, instead of
being OF a claimed value OF more than
$50, was really not worth $25.

Sacramento, Cal, Jan. 2~2-According to
"a statement by Governor Gillet, there will
be no legislation against the Japanese al
this session OF the legislature. The gov
ernor authorized the following;
After comforting with the leading
members of both branches OF the lesislar
sture, / am convinced that no Legislation

acted. I am satisfied that the people Of
california and particularly the members
of our legislature appreciate the efforts

laborers, skilled and unskilled.
There can be no doubt that the Japan
ese government is acting absolutely IN
good faith in its ~endeavors to prevent iu
people migrating to our country, and In
my Judgment 1t would be a serious mis-
take while they are SO doing to enact any
laws directed against the Japanese peo'

CAN OXEN PLow AS

Wagner, s.. D., Ian. 27.--To settle a

200 acres of sod land with plows drawn

Mr.. Jones Is one OF the pioneer farm
ers of South Dakota and a quarter OF a
century ago he was an adept with OK
teams He having claimed that he
could plow as rapidly witS oxen as
with horses and the statement having
been disputed he proposes to show that
he is right. Consequently he is looking
about for three yoke or docile steers
to begin training to the tune of gee"
and "haw."
He will use an up to date pillow on
wheels. this being the only difference
between his outfit and that with which
he invaded the virgin soil in his young
er days.
