DAUBENSPECK LOSES.
Contestant Successful i'm U. S. Land

Office at Lewiston.
The register and receiver of the
United States land office has handed
down a decision in the contest insti-
tuted by Jacob II. Wilson against the
homestead entry Of Jacob G. Dauben-
speck the findings being favorable to
the contestant, with the recommenda-
tion that the homestead entries be
cancelled
The land involved, 800 acres, lies in
the Salmon river section of Idaho
county. Daubenspeck made his first
homestead entry October 20, 1913, and
the additional entry ON February 26.
1915. On June II, 1915, Wilson filed
application to contest the entries. al
leging that the entryman had wholly
failed to establish and maintain
bona fide or other residence on the
lands embraced within either of the
entries; that he had never resided
upon the same, but lived and resided
elsewhere and had done so at all times
since the entries were made; that more
than six months had elapsed since the
first entry had been made, and that no
extension of time had ever been grant
ed by the department of the interior
within which to establish residence,
and that the entryman had failed to
reside upon the land for six or more
months last past before this action was
filed. The contest application further
alleged that the land had been sought
for speculative purposes, and that the
entryman had failed to cultivate the
area required under the homestead
laws.
The first hearing took place before
III. w. Garets, United States commits
sioner at Grangeville, and the final
hearing before the local Office on Sep
tember 3d. 1915, the contestant being
represented by Attorney A. S. Hardy
and the entryman by Attorney w. S.
Scales. All testimony was taken at
the preliminary hearing at Grangeville
and no appearance was made by either
party at the final hearing. A large
number of witnesses were heard for
both sides.
The local officers conclude in hand
ing down their opinion that the home
steads were not taken in good faith
and that Daubenspeck had never re
sided ON the land in accordance with
the requirements of the homestead
law The entries are recommended
for cancellation The contestee has
the right of appeal to the commits
sioner of the general land office at
Washington.
Only last March the entry of Mar
garet Daubenspeck; a daughter OF
Jacob G. Daubenspeck, was recon-
mended for cancellation, a contest
having been instituted against the
completion of the entry by Andrew
Larson, his affidavit alleging that the
entrywoman had failed to establish
and maintain a residence on the land (;
that she had failed to carry on the
required amount of cultivation or
make the Improvements compelled TO
be made under the homestead law.

The 1916 Delaware State Fair came
to a close last night, and by this
evening there will be left few re
minders at Wawaset Park of the big
I attraction TO which the people Of
Delaware in general and OF Whining
ton in particular had looked forward
for many months. All things con-
sidered, the Fair this year was highly
! successful. and if there was a fall
/ ing OFF in attendance due to the pre-
valence of infantile paralysis aud the
consequent debarment OF children
from the grounds, other things more
than made up for this.
No definite attendance figures
could be obtained from the Fair Off
cials today Il was said that about
$4,000 persons visited the grounds
during the five days. divided as fol
lows: Monday. $4,000: Tuesday. s.

Excitement was caused among the
Fair attendants by the sudden ap-

afternoon. For a while the storm
threatened to bring the Fair to an I'M
timely end. but as the disturbance was
of short duration il had very little eff

its appearance about the middle of
the afternoon when the crowds we're
the largest and everything on the
grounds was in full swing.
The greatest amount of damage was
done to the large tent where the fruit, |
grain and forage exhibits were. The
center pole OF this tent was broken
OFF short by the high wind, while the
top of the tent was blown aud torn
into shreds. The canvas fell across /
some OF the exhibits, but they were
not injured. The large sun awning at
