HEIRS OF HOMESTEAD
ENTRYMAN WIN RIGHT
TO ESTABLISH TITLE
No Residence Ever Established
on Place, But Contestant
Was Too Slow.

Gregory. S. D., Dec, 4.-That the
homestead rights of a deceased entry
man cannot be contested, even though
ne failed to comply with the reguia-
tons while alive, is the substance OF a
decision rendered at the Gregory land
office. Under this decision the heirs
have unobstructed lights to perfect
the entry n acquire title.
In June, 1915, Simon l.. Kent, OF Mel
lette county, filed a contest against the
homestead of William Johnson, de-
ceased, alleging abandonment. An
amendment was filed to the contest
ect1on, later, including the heirs as de-
PENDANTS and alleging that they a
failed to a k n action in complying
with the homestead regulations.
AT the hearing of the case Attorney
2. O.. Van Meter appeared for the
heirs. He admitted that IL months had
elapsed between the date of entry and
death OF entryman n that no resi-
aence had been established; that the
heirs had not established residence
The right of Kent to contest was at
lacked on the ground that he had made
q previous entry, was contest, ana MS
entry was Cancelled.
Judge r.. S. Trip and Attorney w.
7. Hooper. representing the contestant,
iontended that a cancellation of kents
entry, due to a superior squatter's
nights being urged against him, did not
make Kent ineligible to contest and file
again.
The contest was decided in favor of
the heirs, and against Kent, on the
basis that cultivation had been begun
before any notice of contest was served.
Under the regulations the heirs of a de-
ceased entryman are not required to
make homestead residence. but must
fulfill the legal requirements as to cul-
tivation. This case attracted unusual
attention in the homestead districts for
the reason hat no claim was made
that the entryman eve had established
residence.

National Bank Examiner r. Fl. Camp
bell, of Huron, who is iii charge of
the Bristol First National bank failure,
has made the first official statement
of The condition of the bank since it
was closed after the disappearance of
the cashier, Torgus Strandness. MIR.
Bruell states there is no material
change in he situation; that the short
age had not been decreased, as the
various items which had been turned
over by Ted Strandness, son of the
missing cashier, had been reckoned as
assets when the examiner took charge
of the institution.
Mr.. Bruell says it is utterly impos-
s1ble to estimate the total shortage,
because of the large number of float
ing certificates of deposits. About the
only thing connected with the situa-
ton that became daily more and more
evident, he says, is the system of COM
pleteness with which the bank had
been looted.
