ley City, Barnes County, North Dako
ia, and discharged the duties Of DEP
uty Clerk of the District Court in ant
for Barnes County, State of North Da
kota.
In the spring of 1913. entered int
a contract Of hire with E. X. Mason
to do and perform certain services foI
the said e. X. Mason upon his rancl
or farm on the Fort Berthold 1ndial
Reservation; and remained IN sucl
employ from the time Of leaving Val
ley City. in April 1913, until return
ing to said City of Valley City in thu
month Of November, 1913. That dur
ing none of the said time did / live
upon the selection Of land under the
homestead act by me made, but at all
times residing with the said E. K. Ma
son and had my sleeping quarters and
eating house in the camp maintained
by the said E. X. Mason and used by
him in the conduct OF his farm and
business; which said camp or build.
ings were constructed and erected up.
on a homestead owned. and entered
upon by one Walter M. Stenshoel.
That the reason l did not reside upon
the selection of land made by me was
and is that I could not see where /
would be able to comply with the
government requirements, and there.
fore made no effort to comply there
with.
In this behalf, I desire to state that
under the requirements Of the Fort
.Berthold drawing a cash valuation
was placed upon the land and the en-.
tryman was required to pay the same
in five equal annual fnstallments and
that have not paid the second an.
nual installment upon the selection
made by me, but that the said land
was IN fact abandoned and no resi-
dence by me established thereon. and
that have not at any time changed
my place Of residence from the City
of Valley City, Barnes County, North
Dakota, to the said Fort Berthold In.
dian Reservation or elsewhere, and
that the time spent by me upon said
Reservation was spent in the employ
of said e. K. Mason and not other
wise.
