LAND CASE AT
GRANGEVTLLEi
U. S. Government Contesting
Patent.

Patent.
A Special from Grangeville to
the Lewiston Tribune says: An
interesting case was started be-
fore u. S. Commissioner Chad
wick in which the government is
endeavoring to secure the can
collation. of a patent to land is
sued to Joseph carp. The land
was taken by carp as a home
stead and patent was secured.
A sale of the property was then
made to Joseph Pfeuffer, of
Grangeville, and at the present
time the First National Bank,
of Grangeville, holds a mortgage
on the land
The contention Of the govern
ment is that the patent was
fraudulently secured in that carp
held some of the land as mining
property and secured patent to
the same under the homestead
laws. 1t is also alleged much of
the land is mineral and should
not have been available to settle
ment under the homestead laws.
The land in question is located
on the breaks of the Clearwater
river in the vicinity of Kamiah.
The sale of the property and
the mortgaging of the same to
the First National Bank has
added complications and the case
will be vigorously fought before
| the commissioner. The govern
ment will be represented by u.
= S. District Attorney G. H. Ling

FOLKS PAST FIFTY
USE CASCARETS
What Glasses Are to Weak Eyes, Cas-
carets Are To Weak Bowels-A 10.
Cent Box Will Truly Amaze You.

Most old people must give to the
bowels some regular help, else they
suffer from constipation. The condi-
ton is perfectly natural. 1t Is just
as natural as it is for old people to
walk slowly. For g is never so
active as youth. The muscles are
less elastic. And the bowels are
muscles.
So all old people need Cascarets.
One might as we'll refuse to aid weak
eyes with glasses as to neglect this
gentle aid to weak bowels. The bow
els must be kept active. This is i'm
portant at all ages but never so much
as at fifty.
Age is not a time for harsh physics.
Youth may occasionally whip the
bowels into activity. But q lash can't
be used every day. What the bowels
of the old need is a gentle and ma
tural tonic. One that can be con-
stantly used without harm. The only
ouch tonic. is Cascarets and they cost
only 10 cents per box at any DRUG
store. They work while you sleep.

Stutsman County School
District Action Finally
Ends

jamestown, y. D., Oct. 6.-The long
drawn IL case of William Farley VS..
she Iawton school district, has been
decided and the plaintiff gets judg-
ment for 81, according to a message
received from Judge Coffey. This
case has been in litigation in one form
and another since January. 1909. and
the original sum involved was but
S9.S5.
This case watch has been stubborn
fought from the cry first and which
on account of the small amount in
Nolvcd, has caused much comment
from attorneys and judges, started
over two years s when the members
of the Lawton sclloo! board brought
an action before County S~uperinten-
lent of Schools Wanner to declare
vacant the seat then held by Mr..
Farley on the grounds that he was
a member of the old Homer board
and should have a place on the new
board when the old district was di-
vided. Mr.. Warmer decided in favor
OF MIR. Farley and the board appeal
ed TO the state superintendent OF pub
lie instruction who reversed the de-
cision. When the place was thus de-
clared vacant Mr.. Wanner appointed
MIR. Farley to fill the vacancy.
Mr.. Farley's claim was for serv-
ices on the Ola poaTu ana expenses
associated with it. The legal ques-
ton became: whether Mr.. Farley IA
a member of this board?
In his decision, Judge Coffey de-
clares that Mr.. Farley was not a
member of the board until appointed
by NJ. Wanner and is entitled to but
So for services, he having attended
one meeting after that time. The de-
,ision also says that Mr.. Farley serv-
I'd as election judge when he had no
right on account of him not being a
member Of the board and hat the 81
ne received from the Lawton district
Tor this should be applied on the 81
Judgment.
The case was appealed to the dis
:rict court from Il justice decision in
favor of Mr.. Farley and as the de-
PENDANTS rendered MI. Farley So at
hat time to settle the case and he
did moi get judgment for this amount
It is maintained that all court ex-
penses and fees of the case fall to
he lot of Mr.. Farle;'.
