Dear Friend
have undertaken to help an old
colored fellow named John L. Fowler
of Marinete, Wisconsin, find two
members of his regiment. He belong
ed to Company A. Goth Iowa, colored
infantry, during the civil war. Mr.
Fowler who Is now an old man, has
been trying for years to obtain a pen.
sion from the government. But he
must have two persons who knew
him while he was soldier, to ident-
ify him. This is the only obstacle to
his securing the pension.
I am requesting that you send me
the names and addresses of any men
who were during the war Of the re-
bellion, members of the 60th, Iowa,
colored infantry, Co. A. Mr.. Fowler
originally came from Missouri. He
tells me that these men ex.soldiers,
now live in Oskaloosa, Iowa; Harvey
Johnson, William Johnson and Cain
Lucas. Do you know them?
Any information you can give along
this line will be greatly appreciated.
Very Sincerely Yours,

Presumption.
In Frank A. Norton VS.. Philip

Department held under date of
January 26. 1910. that laches
might be cured six years after
EMERY. Entry was made Dec.
a, 1902. and contest for abandon
ment filed November %, 1908,
but notice was not served upon
defendant until December A, 1903
when he was at breakfast with
his wife upon the land. It ap-
pears, therefore, that notice of
contest was not served upon the
defendant until he had cured his
laches by continuous residence
upon the land for a period of at
least three months prior to SER
vice of notice of said contest.
There was still sufficient time
left within which defendant
could submit communication proof
and it appears he has made ap-
plication to submit such proof.
There was no attempt to show
that defendant went upon his
land with any knowledge of said
contest, and in the absence of
such showing it must be pre-
sumed that the defendant went
upon his land with the intention
to making that his bono idc res
idence and to comply with the
law and inasmuch as this was
done prior to the initiation of
contest against his entry, his de-
fault was cured prior to the fill
ing of said contest"
Accordingly both decisions be-
low were reversed and the con-
test dismissed.

and General Land Office dismiss
sed the contest upon the grounds
that Miss Artery's expenditure
of $500 on the claim indicated
good faith, and that all of her
absences were in pursuit of a liv-
ing. But upon further appeal,
First Assistant Secrary Pierce
held on October is, 1909, that as
the largest item of cost was her
travelling expenses to and from
the City of Butte, that as Miss
Artery was only on the land a
few days at a time, and that as
she followed the same employ
ment or occupation she had be-
fore her entry. Improvements
no matter how extensive and eX-
pensive, do not take the place of
residence, which is a prime and
essential requisite of the home
stead law. Establishment of
residence contemplates and ne c.
essitates the change or abandon
ment of the home or domicil else
where. It is not sufficient to say
that the claim is the home, nor
is it sufficient that there may
be a present intention to at some
future time make the land a
home. To entitle one to a home
stead under the law there must
be a combination of intent and
action from the beginning and
which continues during the stat
utory period allowed for earning
the land" Accordingly both
decisions below were reversed
and the entry held for cancella-
ton.
Upon motion for review of
this decision the Department on
June q. 1910, vacated it and
dismissed the contest, because
of her Improvements, the lack of
any bad faith shown, and her
refusal to sell the land on re-
quest.

They dug up the dusty old records OF
the Union Market station house. covering
from April 80. 1904, TO the same date In
the year 1905, and have searched each
and every page In quest OF some report
OF mention OF any action taken by tho po-
lice against Schrank's saloon, at No $40
East 10th street. There was no mention
OF the mans saloon in any OF those pages.
II will be remembered that at one time

lice Commissioner. had closed UP his sa-
loon
Throughout Brooklyn the police came
across many persons who had frequently
spoken 10 Schrank, but all declared that
they had found him 10 be nothing but a
timid, quiet and sober little man The
police have accounted for each and every
movement OF the man from the time that
no left the Old Homestead Hotel. at No. 40
