secure possession of d $4,000 sec
tion of government land in the Tmpe-
rial valley Mrs. DeMoulins victory
came in the affirmed decision of the

mony in the contest brought against
her entry by George C. Hunt.
Mrs. DeMoulin is now fighting in the
Imperial superior courts to secure pos
session of the land, having success
fully WithStood the. attack made on
her claim by Hunt, who brought a
contest on the ground that there was
fraud in the entry. Hunt charged that
Mrs DeMoulin took up the land for
the benefit of L. S. DeMoulin, whose
wife she was at that time. Mrs. De
Moulin filed a demurrer alleging that
the evidence was insufficient. This
demurrer was sustained by Receiver
Robinson and Register Buren, of the
local land office. The decision of the
officials was yesterday affirmed by the
department at Washington.
The contest of Hunt brought forth
interesting facts and startling allega-
tions. Mrs. DeMoulin, who is seeking
to secure possession of the land, which
she charges her former husband and
his father are withholding illegally,
charged that she was swindled out OF
her share of common property worth
S25O,OO0 as the result of representations
made to her that her husband, who
secured a divorce, would remarry her.
DeMoulin in his action for a divorce
named relative of Mrs. DeMoulin
as correspondent. DeMOuin charges
that he advanced his former wife sew
eral thousand dollars and is willing
to turn the land over to her if she
will secure the loan claimed. Mrs De
Moulin, in her suit now pending in
