According to the interest being taken by

the most comprehensive the state ever

TOVV|VS|TE OF LUND .
IS IN CONTENTION
Prior Rights Of Claimants Are
Issues in Dispute in the
Land Office.

John Root and e. L. Carter each want
to own the entire town OF Lind They
do not wish to divide II. but each insists
that the town belongs to him, The town
isn't a metropolis yet, but It's chances
along that line seem TO be good and an
opportunity TO own a town evidently is
not thing to be missed.
The whole trouble arose over the fact
that those who laid out the town did
not have the tract filed on the records
OF the United States land office, The
land was thus left open for entry and
when this was made possible under the
enlarged homestead act the two men In
question filed on It. Both claim priority
OF right and the contest promises to
be close one.
Judge Joshua Greenwood had asked
that the applications OF the men be set
aside because the people OF Lund claim
property. rights there and desire 10 es-
tablish a permanent townsite, The case
may be appealed TO the general land Of
fee at Washington, D. c.
The land that Is being contested COM
Drises only fortv acres. but the fact
that 1t Is to be made the terminal point
OF the new Utah e Grand Canyon rail-
road makes 1t worth striving for.

CANNOT CONNECT THEM
WITH LAYTON SHOOTING
Officers Believe Men We're in
Ogden When Lavender
Was Wounded.

+ J Morris aud John Murray the
murderous thugs, are beginning to lose
their air of bravado, and 1t is believed
that it only is question Of a short
time when they will break down en-
tirely and begin to beg for mercy
Murray, the rougher and tougher or
The two men, is becoming moro tract
able and when he was Informed that
he would not be prosecuted for the
murder of Walter Axtell, who was
killed by Morris III his mad attempt
to escape after the Uncle Sam pawn
shop holdup he actually smiled
Morris, who murdered AStell ana
wounded two other men, also is weak
ening Morris realizes that the au-
tborities have clear case OF murder
in the first degree against him and that
it will only be short time until he
will pay the penalty of his misdeeds.
Both Morris and Murray strenuous
" DENY that they had anything TO DO
with the shooting of Deputy Sheriff
William Lavender at Layton on the
early morning of May 4. Discussing
the matter with Sheriff Sharp, the men
told the sheriff that they were at the
n
of May 3 and and were at the Den
yer hotel on the night of May 4, In
order TO satisfy himself on this point
the sheriff went to Ogden yesterday
and made thorough investigation. AT
It's conclusion he was convinced that
whatever other crimes the men may
be guilty of. they had nothing to do
personally with the shooting of Law
ender.
Sheriff Harris of Davis county also
had conference with the holdups yes
terday and he. too, is practically con-
WINGED that neither Morris nor Murray
were at Layton in person. 1t is the
general belief. however, that the men
are members of gang and that they
may be able vet to throw light upon
the Layton affair.
There is but little question in the
minds of the officers that Morris and
Murray are ex-convicts and efforts are
now being made TO obtain their rec
ords.
