Joe Boyer and Allen T. Forgy bad a two days' trial of a land case before Judge Quigley Tues day and Wednesday. Judges Elarrington and Walcott were at torneys for Boyer , and Capt. Fisher and Tucker for Forgy. Boyer bought a quarter section of [ and of A J. Anders about six years ago and believed at that time t'jat ' it lay in a valley , as did And- rs who filed upon the land. A government survey rbade by Sweitzer and Tufts since the pur chase ran the lines ; leaving a con siderable portion of the valley out , and throwed this quarter partly in the hills. Jn the meantime Forgy aad filed on the land adjoining and gets the valley according to the survey as established. Boyer is now trying to get the numbers of his land to include the valley whinh he and Anders thought it covered. The case will go to the general U. S. Jandoflice and will be watched with interest. , Flovd * T Pool. Charles Long- , Tom Boyer , Jones Kirk , Enoch Anders and Geo. F. Gruenig are witnesses for Boyer , and A K Johnson , V. S.
