CLAIM j. {.
OWES STATE
10000 ACRES
LAND GRANT WORTH MILLION
TO A. & N. SCHOOL - HISTORY
OF CASE - ACTION TO Be
HAD.

Oklahoma City, Feb. 1S.-As a re-
suit of action taken by the farmers
caucus of the legislature and offic-
ers OF the school land lessees' union,
effort will be made by the state to
recover from the federal government
approximately 2l0000 acres of land
provided Tor in the land grant of
1862, otherwise known as the Nor
rell act, but which were never re-
ceived by the state.
A resolution has been prepared
and will be introduced in the house
OF Representatives Friday authorizing
President Frank Gault of the board
OF agriculture to prosecute the claim
of the state to final settlement.
Under the Morrell act of 1862,
each state then in the union was
granted 10000 acres of land for each
member it had in congress, the land
to be used for the support of an
agricultural and mechanical college
in such state.
In 1866 this act was amended to
apply to all new states, which
should be admitted, and it was pro-
vided that such grant must be ac-
cepted within three years.

Provisions of Acts.

Provision was made at that time
that if the land was not free within
the boundary of the state the govern
ment should issue script to the state
for this amount, and that the state
might then sell the script to indi-
viduals who might use it to file on
any public domain in portions not to
exceed three sections in any one
township.
Two years after Oklahoma was
admitted to statehood, C. H. Hyde
of Alva, former secretary of the
state school land lessees' union, dis
covered that the act had not been
repealed and that Oklahoma had
not received the land provided for
in aid of the agricultural and me-
chanical college.
Mr.. Hyde Immediately called the
attention of Governor c. n. Haskell
to the oversight, with the result that
the governor convened the second
legislature in special session for the
purpose of accepting the grant on
behalf of the state within the three
year limit as provided in the Nor
rell act

ing placed on the permanent organi-

pointed a delegate from the Texas
state synod.

HOMER BOYS
MADE BONDS
YESTERDAY
ONE CHARGED WITH ASSAULT
AND BATTERY, AND SEVEN
MORE WITH DISTURBING THE
PEACE.

Eight youths of Homer, in the
northwestern part of the county were
arrested by deputy sheriffs and
brought to the county jail, where
they were permitted to make bond
yesterday, and were released.
The charge grew out of trouble
at Homer on Christmas day, when,
1t is alleged Lawrence Harmon and
the boys beat up" an old man by
the name of r. Ross. This Is de-
MED by the boys, but the evidence
borne by Mr. Ross, when he was in
the city to lay the matter before
the county attorney Immediately af-
ter it happened, was sufficient 70
show that someone had committed
the deed, and the county lodged the
complaints against them, with the
above result.
The folIwing boys were admitted
to bail yesterday: Lawrence. Carl
and Tom Harmon, George and John
Reed. Nat Sadler John Allen, and
Dave Martin.
