A CONTEST
DECISION
Lewistown Land Office Makes I'M
portant Decision in SHARKS
vs.. Hanson Contest

The register and receiver of the
Lewistown land Office have recently
rendered decision in contest
case relating to a homestead entry
near Roundup which should be
read ty every homesteader in the
country. The contestant in this case
was Quincy L. Sparks and the
contestee Simon Hanson, involving
the wa WI of section s, T. On, R25
E., filed on December II, 1907.
The case was heard before L. S.
Commissioner Cook here May 21,
1910. Hamilton Wright appeared
as attorney for the contestant, and
c. H. Tyler and Edward Brassey
for the claimant.
The decision of the Lewistown
land office is as follows:
The testimony in this case pre-
sents as clear case of abandon
ment as has come under our obser-
vation since we have been in
office, and it would not be possible
to present a much stronger case.
Neighbors, themselves for the most
part on unprotected homestead
claims, have testified to the fact
that the claimant nor his family
have ever established or maintain
ed residence on this land. It
would not be possible that these
entryman with their usual liberal
construction of what constitutes
residence, would have sworn as
they did if this claimant had made
even perfunctory residence.
We are, therefore, of the opinion
that the homestead entry No. 5563
9 rial O4l6S, should be cancelled
The motion to dismiss is denied
subject to the usual right Of appeal.

ARE DECIDED
Local Parties Win Out in Important
Coal Contests Involving Timber
and Stone Entries

On February lG and II the
Lewistown land Office rendered Two
decisions etfecting contests against
two timber and stone entries south
of Roundup which are of consider
able local interest The entries were
made on section 26, T. SN., R.25E.,
by Nellie Hurley and M. M. Klein.
The charges in the contests were
the coal character OF the land and
bad faith in making entry. The
hearings were held here before us.

Geo. w. Farr, of Miles City. ap-
pearing for the contestants, Elmer
B. Clarke and John S. Truscott,
also of Miles City, and Hamilton
Wright of this place appearing for
the contestees.
The land office held, The con-
sestant has wholly failed to show
or prove that the lands embraced
in this entry are coal in character,
and there is absolutely no evidence
tending to show that the land in
question has any value for the
coal therein, or that there is any
coal contained in said lands. We are
of the opinion that the contest
should be dismissed"
This case was first fought out at
Lewistown. but remanded for fur
ther hearing by the Commissioner
of the General Land Office.

unexpired term Of the ex-mayor.
As it is essential that the best
men possible be secured to fill the
offices Of aldermen, it is hoped
that the election be strictly non
PARTISAN and that politics be entirely
eliminated in this little family af-
fair. Political issues of the county,
state and nation should have no
bearing or influence as to who
should serve us on the city council.
A mass meeting should be called
by the mayor to place in nomina-
tion candidates who will be accept
able to the whole city even tho
they are supposed to represent only
& portion of 1t, The whole city is
interested as to who shall be the
new members Of the city council.
