that they have appreciated your

have represented their client as
only honorable men should and do
not deserve any condemnation, but
rather commendation for the man
ner in which they have acted in all
the matters pertaining to this un-
fortunate situation. When | was
first appointed as the federal attor-
ney, these gentlemen made an ef-
fort and did bring this matter to
my attention first of any one else
in order to have an adjustment, so
that your titles might be properly
cleared up and the government COM
plete its Contract with you. They
showed to my office as they did to
the federal courts that Mr.. Dowden
had asserted a proper position in
his contention as to his title being
prior to- that attained by the gov
ernment and the courts have so
held, and the settlement which /
shall recommend to my department
at Washington win be such as will
settle the townsite problem, and
give you your titles direct from the
under its contract un-
Ter the schedule of property, with
all former judgments cleared from
the records so that nothing will
stand in the way of your town TAX
ing it's proper place among the
towns of the country as it should.
81 am here as the attorney of the
government TO do all I can to adj
just this matter and shall recon-
mend an agreement that has been
reached between myself and the at
torneys of Mr. Dowden to the end
that the government pay Mr.. Dow
den for his claim and he in turn
execute such conveyances as win
clear the records against the people
of the town of Tuttle, and will
show that the firm of Bond, Melton
& Melton have always been the
friend of the people of Tuttle, as
they have shown to us they have
been, and not the enemy that should
receive condemnation, as they may
have done in some instances when
a hasty conclusion was reached
through unjust criticism.
That the way to clear all titles
in Tuttle will soon be effected Is
confidently believed by people here.
