L. +. Crawford probably escaped
death by narrow margin on We'd
nesday when he was driving with
his automobile out southwest OF
town. He turned in at a gate, run
ming at about or 10 miles all hour,
and did not notice a galvanized
wire across it. The wire struck
the wind shield, breaking the glass
to fragments, and jumped from
there to Mr.. Crawford S face strik-
ing him squarely on the chin and
cutting deep cash. Had the wire
struck a couple of inches lower it
would doubtless have broken his
neck. An idea of the force of the
impact may be gathered from the
fact that one of the heavy gate posts
was broken completely off. The
only damage done to the machine
was the breaking of the wind shield
and the injuries to the driver will
not be serious or permanent but
they are painful Republican, Sen

Recent i. S. Land
Office Decisions

It is the established practice of
the Department to issue patent to
the heirs generally Of deceased
eneryman, if their be no widow, or
minor children entitled to claim
under section 1892 r. s. Or if it
be shown in the record prior to is-
sue of patent that the entryman
has made will purporting to de-
wise his interest in the entry, then
the patent is issued to the heirs or
devisees Of the deceased entryman
when there is no widow, or minor
children to claim under section 22-
go r. S. It is left to the local
courts to determine in such cases
who tie heirs are and what their
individual interests may be.
Upon the death of an entryman
leaving no widow, his heirs have
the right to make additional home
stead entry under the provisions of
section 3 of the enlarged home
stead act.'' Citing Alice G. st.
John (38 L. D. SD and Lille E.
Sterling GO L. d. 346).
The term entry means that act
by which an individual acquires an
inceptive right to q portion of the
unappropriated soil Of the country
by filing his claim in the land Of
flee. 1t is that record in the land
Office which reserves land from 9TH
er appropriation.
1t is the land office record which
is in effect an executory contract
between the entryman and the gov-
ernment that it will convey the
land to him when he shall have
performed the acts and done the
things that the law requires in that
particular mode of entry.
1t is then at an end, existing on
ly until, and no longer than, the
inceptive right becomes consum-
mate and patent issues or other
evidence of passing title. The en-.
try merges into patent or other
evidence OF title.
By a final decree of cancellation
of patent, land once patented be-
comes part of the public domain,
subject to settlement, like unsur-
veyed or surveyed public lands, if
unappropriated, but does not be-
come subject to entry until opened
to entry by the General Land Of.

SnOW'SC0rner Notes

The editor of the pink paper
better get more thoroughly vers-
ed in regard to the Snow-Felk-
man case. Mr.. Felkman has not
filed on the eighty acres in Mon
tana, nor he couldn't if he want
to, as it is not open for filing up
to the present date.
The very latest-They are try
ing to move Shows Corners over

rec with them on that.

Gentlemen: The following in-
strnctions are issued for your guild.
ance in the administration of the
act of Congress approved February
l9, 1909, ito provide for an en-
larged homestead" (35 Stat, 639)
and are supplemental to, and in
modification of, the instructions
contained in Circular No. 10, Sug-
gestions to Homesteaders, ap.
proved April 20, 1911, pages II to
21, inclusive.
An entryman under section 22S9
Revised Statutes, who, makes an
additional entry under section Of
the enlarged homestead act, may
continue both residence and cuI-
tivation upon the original entry,
but final proof may not be made
for the land embraced in the ad-
ditional entry until full compli-
ance with the requirements of said
act has been effected beginning
with the date Of such additional
entry. Final proof must be made
on the original entry within the
statutory period of seven years. -
The cultivation required in such
cases is an amount equal to one-
eighth and one.fourth of the area
embraced in the additional entry,
commencing with the second and
third years, respectively, of such

Will Send an Unin-
.StruCted Delegation
Three Delegates From Wibaux Dis
trict Will go to Livingston un-
instructed Both Claim State.

AS the result Of the republican
caucus held on Saturday to elect
three delegates to the State Con-
vention to be held at Livingston
next Thursday, May 16, the fol-
lowing were accordingly appoint
ed to go uninstructed: J. C.
Kinney, and S. j. Leahy, of Wi
baux, and Arthur Barclay, of
Yates.
From all indications the result
of the state convention is doubt
full. Both the regulars and pro-
gressives of the party are eager
ly claiming control and each in
sist that they will send an in
structed delegation to Chicago.
The only weakness, apparently,
which has been shown is indicat-
ed by the progressive claim,
which allows Taft only those del
egates which have been specific
ally instructed for him.
For instance, in the statement
Of the publicity committee Of the
Roosevelt organizations, recent.
ly made public, the claim was ad-
vanced that as long as Lewis and
Clark county was not specifically
instructed for the president, this
delegation should be placed in
doubtful column, when as mat
ter of fact, it is apparent to any,
one who knows the personnel of
the delegation, that it will be
straight Taft delegation from
first to last and that neither Dix
on nor Roosevelt can WELD the
slightest influence with it.
Up to date the Roosevelt men
have carried, in addition to Fer
gus and Carbon counties, the
conventions in Sweetgrass, Yel-
loWstone and Broadwater coun-
ties, which give them a total of
So votes, which, with Fergus and
Carbon counties, will give the
Roosevelt-Dixon organization a
atal Of 96 delegates out Of 656 in
n the convention. On the other
hand the Taft men have elected
delegates in Hill, Madison, Mus
iselshell, Lincoln, Meagher, Lewis
and Clark and Blaine counties,
which g i've the Taft men total
of III delegates. Several of the
above, which represent hand
picked delegations are being con-
tested by the Roosevelt men.
In addition to the above there
are yet to be received returns
from Dawson aud Teton counties
which held their primaries Sat-
urday, and from which reports
as yet have not been received,
though it is believed that Dawson
will carry for Ia tt. Five county
conventions will be held Satur-
day.

New Scheme to Raise Road Money

Grand Forks, May 8.-Raising
funds for road improvement is al
ways difficult, this due to the fact
that the taxes are supposed to pro-
vide for the roads; but owing to
the system, do not. Many plans
for raising money for needed work
have been discussed by the Good
Roads Committee of the Grand
Forks Commercial Club. One of
the latest is that of issuing stamps,
similar to Christmas seals or red
cross stamps. The stamps would
be handsome ones, bearing the fol-
lowing i'll gold on a blue back
ground:
Better business, better farms,
better homes and better people,
There would be fifty stamts in a
roll, which would sell for fifty
cents, the proceeds to apply to good
roads building. The scheme may
be tried out on the Meridian Road
Lots For Sale-in Davis Ad-
dition, on easy terms of pay
ments. Call on Bushell and
Rucker.

one of the best sections of Mon.

who are to come this year are as

airy was born in this county near
Fords Ferry, Dec. %, 1925, and
lacked therefore only a few
weeks of rounding out her 87th
year. She had the misfortune
to fall ard break her hip a few
years ago, which rendered her
almost helpless, but otherwise
her general health was good, re-
markably so, for one Of her age.
She had not been ill and was up
and able to be about the room
and to enjoy her meals on the
day preceding her death, and
undressed herself as late as five
O'Clock, when she complained of
feeling badly and then the tami-
ly discovered she mad a rigOr.
After they wrapped her in warm
blankets, she lapSed into uncon-
seriousness fro N which they were
never able to arouse her and
although DR.. Clement was haSti-
~ summoned, his skill was of no
avail, and he soon informed the
family that her sleep was the
"sleep of DEATH. -" She fingered
until 20 minutes of l when she
quietly and peacefully breathed
her last.
TIE funeral was held and the
intermant took place Saturday
afternoon at 3 o'clock at the

PUT ROADS IN SHAPE
FOR DENVERITES.

With the coming of the Denver
tourists through Dickinson county
next week the agitation for good
roads has been renewed. Those who
are interested in the matter feel that
the reputation of Dickinson county
for good roads will in measure de-
pend upon the condition the tourists
find the route through here when
they arrive. After the recent rains
the roads will need dragging and it
is probable that the drags will be
busy putting the roads in fine con-
dition and making Dickinson coun-
tvs reputation good before the wish
tors.
