$4,000 ACRES OF STATE LAND
MAY OPEN TO SETTLEMENT

DENVER, June 26.-Fifty thou
sand acres of state land now under
lease to cattlemen in the vicinity OF
Limon, eastern Colorado, will be
thrown open to settlers by the state
land board if State Register Volney
Hoggatt, who started recently on a
trip of inspection, finds charges made
by prospective settlers to be true.
They said they wished to establish
homes but that the cattlemen had
fenced in not only land purchased or
rented from the Union Pacific rail-
road, but the state land as well.
Colorado is not cattle pasture
any longer" said Hogatt. "If ] find
men and women there who want to
establish homes and cultivate the land
] will cancel the grazing leases and
substitute agricultural leases instead.
If the settlers prefer, they may pur-
chase the land outright"

der of last Saturday.
This order enjoined the assignees
from performing their usual duties,
and they are figurativeIy only
holding the lid on" at the bank
building pending hearing of the
case in Jackson Friday.
The understanding of attorneys
is that at this hearing Judge Cook
is to decide only as to whether the
assignees shall give a bond and be
allowed to continue their duties
until the case comes up in due
course when the Supreme Court is
in session or whether they shall
vacate their offices as intend

Ia the latter case, of course, a
