U.S.. HIGH COURT
OVERRULE CLAIM
OF MRS. D0NLEY
Imperial Valley Land Case
Goes to VanhOrn, West
by Supreme Court
United Press Leased Wire

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16. - The
Supreme Court today affirmed lower
court decisions holding invalid patents
held by Sarah Donley in two tracts OF
homestead land in Imperial county,
California.
The land involved was patented in
Mrs. l.. Donley's name in 1914 after sho
had exchanged tracts she previously
had patented but which the govern
ment decided to re-survey. The patents
tackd by Erwin r. Vanhorn and Pres
colt West, who claimed they had prior
claims on the land. Their contentious
were dismissed by California courts,
which held. at the same time, however.
that Mrs. Donley did not have valid
patents.
Inquiry at the U. S. Land Office to-
day developed the information thai
Mrs. Donley originally filed on the
southwest quarter of section is, town
ship II south, range IA, containing 100
acres. She afterward exchanged this
for 160 acres in section 50, township
13 south, range 16 east, on which Van
Horn had settled on the west half but
was later cut down to the northwest
quarter to which he was granted
patent on September 10, 1917.
Van Horn resisted Mrs. Donley S
claim to the land and the ease was first
tried in the superior court, which up
held Mrs. Donley, after which Van
Horn appealed to the appellate court
and later to the state supreme court,
all of whom upheld Mre- Doniey's
claim The .decision of the United
States supreme court TODAY decides in
favor of Van Horn and this decision
of course is final. Van Horn is at
present living near Paris. California.
Nothing could be found on the books
of the local land office relative to
Vests land, and it ~ presumed he
filed his claim through the land office

No Gift Necessary

PEGGY: 1. The girl should thank
the nan for the gift. It is not neces-
sary for her to give him a gift IN re
turn, if she had not planned to. She
should say nothing about it.
2. I suppose the dance is a public
invitational affair. In that event, one
card will serve to admit the couple.
3. The girl should not invite the
boy TO the dance unless they are
very good friends. II practically
amounts to her asking him to take
her to the dance.
