Just reversed the decision Of the local
officials In tho case. letter review
ing the case and setting forth reasons
Tor reversing the decision was received
from Washington yesterday by the fed
eral land office.
The action, which involves l6O acres
OF homestead land IN Utah county, was
begun August ., 1912. July 2S. 1910,
Mendenhail, the defendant, filed an en-.
try application for the land. The eu.
try was granted. August Q, 1912, John
II: Rentz filed an affidavit of contest,
alleging that Mendenhall had never
lived on the land. The hearing was
held November IA, 1912, and the regis.
ter and receiver of the office found for
the contestant, Rentz. and recommended
the cancellation of the entry This de.
clsion was given on the ground that
Mendenhall had not filed on the land in
good faith and had not lived there for
any length of time.
In reversing this decision. the com.
missioner at Washington held that the
evidence showed that Mendenhall had
not only lived on the filing. but had
made Sl2l5 worth OF improvements, in
cluding q house and fences. The fact
that his wife was sick and unable to
live on the filing, thus preventing him
from staying there for some time, was
also taken into consideration.
The contestant in the case, John II.
Rentz, is a Salt Lake man, He was
represented by c. A. Gillette and E. W.
Senior. The defendant, Berpe NJ. Men
denhaIl. Of Sprineville, was represented
by Edward D. Dunn, who was chief
clerk of the local land office for several
years. A year ago be resigned his posi-
tion to practice law and he won this,
his first big case.
