CedarStTOm Homestead
Contest Case Tried
Testimony to Re Received u, Register
aud Receiver of General
Land Oiiicc.

The contest case of the Government
vs.. Thor Ccdarstrom lasted all day
Wednesday and Thursday. About one
year ago MIR Ccdarstrom made final
communicative proof and government
inspector who examined conditions
recommended that his application be
not granted II appears that several
months before this a private party had
also. hlcd contest against Cedar
strom, but concluded later not TO pro-
sccute his case, so the inspector in
making his examination questioned
the witnesses depended OH by the pri-
waite contestant
The case was originally set before
,. w Ross as referee. but he having
bccn witness for Cccarstrom in the
iattcrS proving up, IL was deemed adj
yisablc to transfer II to William Asher,
another notary public. Miss Riley of
the Utah Farmer Office acted as official
stenographer. There were about If
teen government witnesses and nearly
as many more for the defense Gov
eminent Inspector Snow conducted
the case for the land Office and Il. w.
Senior, a Salt Lake land attorney,
looked after the examination of Cdc-
arstrom's witnesses.
Tho governments contention was
that Cedarstrom had failed to main
tain his residence on his homeste cad.
residing elsewhere during the time he
should have been on his land. Cedar
strom's witnesses testified that while
he had been absent at intervals in
Salt Lake City on black marble deals
and at Pelican Point looking after his
sheep, still the homestead was his
home. He also showed that he had
cleared about twenty acres of brush
and had four acres ready for seeding
NJ time of proving up. That he had
built two houses, n barn, etc.
SINCE making final proof Cedarstrom
has planted out a four-acre orchard,
plowcd up fifty acres of land and
planted thirty acres of II to wheat,
and fenced much of his homestead
with "A woven wire fence Had he
done this before proving up there
would probably have been no contest,
and II may he the means of causing
the department to give him the benefit
of the doubt now
The land lies on the lake front next
to Saratoga, There Is about sixty
acres In the tract and since the cs-
adjustment of the now pumping plant
II has grown to he quite valuable.
Miss Riley will make transcript
of tho case, which will probably cover
from 600 TO 500 typewritton pages,
which will then he received by the
register and receiver of the general
land office In salt Lake City, who will
render the decision Should Cedar
strom lose out in Salt Lake City he
will then appeal to the general land
office at Washington
