A TRIBUTE TO AN OLD TIMER
History of "Doc" Middleton More
Interesting than That of Buf
falo Bill, Says Paper
rYom Chadron Chronicle, Jan. 2:
"Doc" Middleton, well known to
every citizen of the northwest and
especially of Chadron whree he had
been known for many years as a
picturesque frontier character since
the early days, died at Douglas. Wy
oming, last Saturday.
"Doc" was a very active man for
one of his age considering the hard
ships he had endured and the life
he had led In yean past. His last
visit to Chadron, If we recollect Just
right, was during the Dac county
fair of last year when he looked as
robust and healthy as he had In
past years. Although he had made
his home for some years past in Ard
more, 8. Dak., for the past year he
had resided at Orln Junction, and it
was. while on a trip to that place he
wa taken sick. A hLwtory of "Doc"
Middleton ' past life could be written
Unit would surpass that of "Buffalo
1UI1" or a few of the plainsmen who
have received a, great deal more
newspaper advertising than he.
"Doc" was at one time a terror to
the settlers of northwestern Nebras
ka, and during thoso early days he
had a ranch on the Niobrara river,
which was ud as a rendezvous for
mitny of the famous outlaws of those
days, and it Is said that many of
their expedition were planned nt his
place. At one time there was a Wk
reward offered for his capture and
It was only thru the shrewdest work
on the part of detectives that he
was ever captured. After hla cap
ture and nerving a short term at
Lincoln, he , returned to the western
part of the state, was married and
raised a family of children, and had
Hince been considered a good, law
abiding citizen and one that will be
greatly ml&sed, as he was a very
conspicuous character, big hearted
and ever ready to help a friend or
any one In distress.

the prospect of which it has doubled
in population in about three years

SOME INFORMATION
FOR HOMESTEADERS
Regulations of the Department Re
lating to Leave of Absence
from Thtir Claims
Before the blanks approved by the
secretary of the Interior for leave of
absence bad been issued, The Herald
printed a quantity of blanks for that
purpose, co informing to the regula
tions of the department. These were
ueed by homesteadere for a while,
but since blanks have been lsmied
by the department for that purpoee,
the officials of the land office pre
fer that they be used in order that
all notices of absence and return be
uniform to size and worded the
same. Accordingly we are now print
ing a supply of blanks which are a
reproduction in size and wording of
those supplied by the department.
These win be furnished free of
charge to Herald subscribers who

nformation Regarding Leave of
Absence
NOTE. The first proviso to Sec.
2291, R. S., as amended by the act
of June 6. 1912 (37 Stat., 123), is
as follows:
"Provided, That upon filing la the
local land office notice of the begin
ning of suoh absence, the entryman
shaN be entitled to a continuous
leave of absence from the land for
a period not exceeding five months
b each year after establishing res
idence, and upon the termination of
such absence the entryman shall
file a notice of such termination In
Che local land office, but in case of
commutation the fourteen months'
actual residence as now required by
law must be shown. "
The only entrymen who are entit
led to the benefits of the above are
those whose entries were made of
record on or subsequent to June 6,
1912, and those whose entries were
made prior to that date but who in
tend to submit final proof under
the law as amended by the act of
that date.
Extract from the regulations issued
by the Department February 13,
1913 (Circular No. 208):
(11) After the establishment of res
idence the entryman is permitted to
be atoswnt from the land for one con
tinuoue period of not more than five
months in each year following, pro
vided that upou absenting himself
for suoh period he has filed ini the
local land office notice of the be
ginning of auch intended absence.
He must also file notice with the
local land office upon his return to
the land following such period of ab
aence.
(12) In according such extended
periods of absence the Congress has
dealt liberally with the homestead
entryman, and bona fide continuous
residence during the remaining por
tlons of the three-year period must
be clearly shown.
(13) A second period of absence
immediately following the first per
lad. even though the two periods
occur in different years, reckoned
from the date of the establishment
of actual residence, will not be rec
ognized, as it was never contemplat
ed that an absence was permlseiWe
In excess of six months in view of
the specific provisions for contest
provided for In section 2197 of the
Revised Statutes, There should be
at leatit some substantial period of
actual continuous residence upon
the land separating the periods of
absence accorded under the statute.
Only those protracted absences with
respect o which notice has been
given as required by the statute
will be respected either In case of
contest or on final proof. This law
does not repeal or modify the acts
of March 2. 1889 (25 Stat., 854).

April 30. ,1912 (37 Stat.. 105).
