HOMESTEADERS MUST STAY ON LAND
After Maklag Flaal Prosi Oae's Patest cas
Be caacelled II He Abasdoas Place.

People who have filed on govern.
ment land with the idea of proving
up within the. shortest possible time
at the least expense possible and
trouble, and by:4complying with the
homestead laws just as little as they
think they can with impunity, should
be. on the lookout. H. j. Atwell and
l.. 5. Ropes, two special government
land agents, of Helena, are securing
eastern Montana looking into condi-
tions. and it is understood that steps
will be taken to cancel number of
homestead as well as timber and
stone entries in this section of the
state as a result of their visit. Mr..
Atwell, who says it is his business 10
look after delinquent homesteaders
made several drives out in the Judith
Basin country, on which trips lie
found numerous evidences where
entrymen who have already offered
proof, failed to improve their places
sufficiently to warrant the issuing of
patent by the government. In adj
dltion to many inadequate improve
mentS many of the hOmesteaders.
after having received their receipt
from the local land office on COM
mutation proofs, totally abandoned
their land and in some eases. went
back to the east to live. This is
direct violation of the intention of
the homestead law, and wherever
hOmesteaders have left the country
after committing, Mr.. Atwell says,
the government will refuse to grant a
patent, or in cases where it has been
already issued, the patent will be
cancelled unless the parties resume
residence and cultivation Of the land.
ut Is the intention of the home
stead law" said Mr.. Atwell, ito
provide homes for those who will
take advantage Of them to develop
the country, and not to have the
public domain taken up by Il class
merely on speculation, as you might
say. When you look into the matter,
you will readily see that it is not fair
to the bona tide settlers as well as to
the community in general to have
land filed on, proved up in fourteen
months and abandoned by the entry
man until it has greatly increased in
value by the labors of the more in
dustriOus settler, when he returns,
or what is more likely, disposes of it
at nice profit. The delinquent
homesteaders aim to profit by some
body else's labors and it is to remedy
this state of affairs that the depart
ment of the interior is now very
careful in accepting commutatio n

the tract of land in question:" near
Bolton, in Flathead county, .'.'tres-
passers and persons asserting rights
against the state of Montana.
The persons alleged to be trespass-
ing are forest officers of the govern
ment, and 1t is they who are asserting
rights against the state.
This brings long smoldering issue
sharply to the front, and it is consid-
cred probable that it will be so seri-
GUS that President Taft will look into
the matter when he comes here Mon
day. The tract involved is section Is.
township 81 north, range 10 west. 1t
is claimed by the state as section.
bequeathed to it by the government
under the enabling act. 1t is claimed
by the forest service because it lines
within reserve which was created
after the enabling act was passed.
Recently this land was offered for
sale. The forestry officers warned all
prospective buyers that the govern
ment claimed title to it, and then
built fence around and announced
it would he used for administrative
purposes. The Great Northern
bought the land, but the forestry
officials refused to relinquish their
claim to it, but later gave the COM
pany lease to occupy it. Then the
railroad made 4 demand upon the
state that title be delivered in fee
simple.
This was considered by the board to-
day, and after considering the matter
the board came to this conclusion.
that The principle is so far reaching
and vital to the people, that there is
no alternative for the officers charged
with the administration of the states
affairs than to fight for the states
rights to the last.
ADVICE.
Of all the useless things. advice is
the most trivial. The instances i'll
which it is needed is almost nil
Men who seek advice usually nave
made up their minds what to do, says
the Butte News. In corraling u
friend, they desire merely to unload
their troubles.
GratuitOus advice is even more
futile. We never listen to our dearest.
associates unless their view happens
to agree with ours.
Emerson knew we'll that che who
has the most influence over you is he
who believes in you" Hemight have
gone further and said che who agrees
with YOU"
Man is so constituted that he must
fight his own battles. Olive chreiner
hit it when she said that the diety has
so fashioned the cup that only one lip
may drink from it ut time.
The gratuitous pe,llar of advice,
moreover, is usually failure himself.
! Successful men consider their opin-
ions worthy Of solicitation.

IN MORNING BATTLE
CAPTURES ASSAILANT AFTER
LONG CHASE
Neuro Who Assaulted Officer Refused
to Stop Until Wounded in Heel
by PatroIman
Sanders

Patrolman Edwin E. Sanders was
shot through the left hip at o'clock
this morning at Seventh and Mateo
streets by Charles Williams, negro
living at 1922 Santa Fe avenue.
Patrolman Sanders had been at
tracted by the sound Of a bullet shot
at Seventh and Alameda streets, and
was on his way to investigate when
he encountered Williams, who was
hurrying along in the darkness OF
Mateo street.
Sanders called to Williams to stop,
but the negro continued on his way
and refused to obey the officers calls.
Sanders started to follow Williams,
when the latter is alleged to have
drawn a .3S caliber revolver and fired
directly at Sanders, the bullet enter
ing the left hip and going through the
body.
The officer drew his revolver, and
despite the fact that he was seriously
injured, pursued the negro, firing. shot
after shot, and after chase OF one
block Williams threw up his hands.
Despite the excruciating pain, San
ders held his prisoner until help ar
rived. Both were taken to the receiv-
ing hospital where it was found that
Sanders had been seriously ip1ured,
and that one of the bullets from his
revolver had taken effect in the left
heel of the negro.
Williams was found to be injured
the bullet from Sanders revolver hav-
ing penetrated his heel.
