HoMESTEADERs BEAT RAILWAY

SALT LAKE, Feb. 15.-The with
drawal yesterday afternoon OF Jo-
seph Conley and Thomas Connolly
from a homestead taken up on the
townsite of Wendover, on the West
ern Pacific, near the Utah-Nevada
line, marked the close of a little
bur'esque In which 1T is claimed,
the state of Utah forgot its part, and
the +. estern Paclnc railway had to
dig up considerable as a result.
When the Western Pacific line was
being extended through Utah and
Nevada the state got the "tip" that a
station was to be placed near the
Utah-Nevada line. Seeing consider
able revenue for the state treasury
in the new station IL 1t was placed in
Utah. the state officers offered terms
to the railroad. The government land
Office provides that the state shall
have sixty days in which to select
state lands in homestead tracts before
the public is given chance to settle.
The terms of the agreement were
that the state should ask for the
opening of the territory about Wend-
over, and when this was done the
state would have the first pick, and
would select land to dispose of to
the railway company as site for the
new station. The deal was carried
out, the government making the sur
veys and opening the land.
The state had from March 23,
1909, to May 23, 1909, to make
selections. But state officers were
changed in the meantime, and the
new officers, it was said, completely
forgot to select the Wendover site.
The railroad went ahead and made
extensive improvements, believing
that the state had done its part.
In November Conley took up a
homestead on the site of the station,
and in January Connolly took up an
other homestead. AS s25O,00O was
partially spent in improving the
ground, 1t proved to be a good home
stead.
About two weeks ago the railroad
''tumbled" to the fact that IL had no
title to the ground and imm mediately,
Ii is said, 1t had c. II. Clarke contest
the homestead entry of Conley and
Connolly, on the ground that the
land was not fit for agriculture, and
therefore could not be homesteaded.
When the contest came before the
government, the plaintiff and the de-
PENDANTS got together and effected a
settlement. Conley and Connolly got
$3.50 In cash each, and it is stated
on good authority half acre of
Wendover town lots.
Clarke had to do the paying. which
means that the Western Pacific dug
up, because of the blunder of the
state.
The state land officials say the
delay In filing was partly due to the
fact that the railway had not made
out its non-mineral affidavits.

before the federal court as high

The dynamiting of last night will
cause many of the former Cripple
Creek residents, now in Goldfield, TO
recall how about ten or twelve years
ago some seven assay shops in that
camp were blown up in single
night.
The first instance of dynamiting In
Goldfield was the blowing up of the
offices of George Phoenix. the early
and present day land owner, who had
! incurred the wrath of various squat
ters in camp. His Offices were or

the camp was startled by loud ex
plosion and Phoenix's Office was
found TO be almost ruined. Dyna
mite had been used, but IL was moi
strong enough TO drive Phoenix oui

WATER CHECKED.

Sand bags piled up next the North
ern hotel and at some other business
places along Ely streets tell of the
of expected flood waters the first
part of the week. The bags were
loaded and got in readiness for SER
vice to keep the waters off the floors
in the event of the continued rise.
The cold weather which commenced
on Monday. however. halted the
thawing of the snow in the noun
tains, while yesterday 1t was again
freezing and the danger of flood was
again tided along 10 some future
date. The amount of water running
in the streets Sunday and Monday,
however. gave ample warning of what
might be expected in the event of a
few days of thawing weather top
ped by rain and much emphasized the
recent report of the city engineer in
which he called attention to the flood
menace and urged the taking of steps
to prevent disaster.
