CONTESTFORCLA|M
IN BURKE COUNTY
Two Men File for the Same
Quarter Section at the
Same Minute.

Minot. n. D.. Jan. 1e.-Three men
were on hand at the United States
land office to file on the John F. Skin
ner quarter section of land located
-FOUR miles east Of Flaxton. the origin
al entry of Mr.. Skinner having been
cancelled by the government because
OF his refusal to relinquish the coal
rights to the government.
William O'Donnell and Richard
King. both Of Bowbells, arrived in
the city early and reaching the land
oftce about the same time waited for
an hour or two until the Office should
be opened. AS the window was open
ed both men pushed their filing pa
pers In at the same time and the reg
lister was obliged to turn his back and
draw one Of the applications. rejecting
the other, Richard King being the
successful applicant. It is understood
that o'Donneli will make an effort
to have his papers accepted, neverthe-
less. and has retained an attorney
to look after his interests.
In the meantime It developed that
another party had been awaiting the
opening Of the land Office since late
the previous afternoon with the inten-
ton of filing on the same piece of
land. He had a witness with him
and remained in the corridors Of the
Ehr DOCK all night n Unfortun.
ately for him. however. he was await
ting at the wrong window and O'Don-
nell and King both had their papers
IN before the third party realized
what had happened.
The Skinner place is considered
quite valuable, there being extensive
Improvements on the place, and the
land itself is very choice. 1t is re.
ported that Skinner was killed in
Minnesota a short time ago. and it is
barely possible that the heirs Will
make an effort to have his entry re.
instated by relinquishing the Goa,
rights. In any event an interesting
fight is promised.

No More state Bread.

Paris. IL A Dutch invention will
shortly be put into practice here
which. It is said. will be as great a
boon to bakers as it will to house
keepers. 1t is the application Of cold
storage to freshly baked bread, so
that there need be no more night
work for the bakers. The process is
exceedingly complicated and scien-
tilc, but the method Of operation is
simple enough. The bakers oven is
to be supplemented with a refrigerat-
ing chamber containing just as many
degrees Of cold as there are degrees
Of heat IN the open. The baker aft
er baking his bread places it in the
ice chamber and keeps it at a tenn
p%erature Of q degree or two below
zero.
