Wheth er 20 acres the Mrst year, and 40 acres ror the second and third years will be the future requirement will not be definitely knowu until the full text of the bill becomes known At all events the new law brings a measure of relief fully understood and appreciated onl by those who halve I i try in ander the most ad verse : nd disci r glng circumstances to me I he pi i ' requirements. The r I e of su.-h legislation to en . aen ci i aardly be overesti mated 11 will it .se many thousands ot act . now ant to be entered and during the coming three years millions or acres will pass to pateut. making thousands or permanent homes, all contributing heavily to the maintenance or the various eoun ties by taxation. This measure on which we have beui working for so many months mtauis untold relief to several thou sand struggling homesteaders in east I rs Colorado and eastern Wyoiuiug," said Taylor. "In permitting them to prove up and get title in three years they will have a basis of cred it and the leave of absence will per mit them to earn money when it is possible. The bill applies to existing bemestead entries of every sort, in cluding the :i20-ac-re farurs in the dry farming regions. I believe the pass a ' of this law will mean the addi tion of 25,000 people to the state w '.bin the next two years. It is cer luW to bead off a large share of the vast tide of immigration to Canada." addle k, a toui teen ear-old girl, was up tor bearing before the supieni -court. Ksnert was found guilty in the Hall county district court and sen tenced to a term of seven years iu the penitentiary. He appealed to the supreme court. One of the reasous for an appeal was that testimony was allowed showing that Kanert's wife died lust September in Miieon, 111., and that he did not attend the fu neral, which testimony prejudiced ihe Jury and was not proper evidence. H? sets forth again thai the court room was tilled during the trial with men and women who were allowed to laugh and sneer at the evidence and that Stash acts prejudiced and influenced the Jury against him.
