" CONTEST OVER HOMESTEAD Quarter Section In Gregory County Bone of Much Contention. Horrlek Press : At the United StriteH land ofllco at Gregory at the present time Is being heard the contest case oC W. C. BurgoHs of this place nKninst the homestead entry of F. D. Walker fe r the northeast half of section 12 , town ship 96 , range 71 , two miles north e > t Herrlek. This quarter e > f Innil IIIIH been the source of much contention. In the original tilings for land in this county this quarter was filed on by a mnn named McGulro. who hnd a num ber between 500 and 600 , and he sup posed he wns getting a fine piece of land. When ho arrived nt his hejino- stcnd to build his shack he found a beautiful bunch of hills and holleiws along one side of which wns a strip of thirty acres of tillable laud. But he built his llttlo shack ami mnde a residence , but inside of ton ilnys abandoned the hind. In about a year other parties filed a contest ami afterward abandoned it. Then another contest wns filed by other parties , who secured a favorable decision through failure of anyone to resist. They ellel not care to file on the land nnd finally sold out their interest to Mr. Walker. He filed on the land nnd built a resi dence thereon and occupied it with his family. Later ho purchased the ael- joining quarter of tillable land ( the Charley House homestead ) , and moved his residence from the homestead just across the line to the acquired farm , but removed the fence between the two places and continued to farm the tillable land em his homestead nnd the ndjolnlng farm both together , while he hns constnntly used the rough portion of the homestead for pnsturago for hla stock. There is nt present a crop growing on both pieces of land with no dividing line between. It is appar ent that there was no willful Intention to abandon the claim , but the resi dence wns moved as a matter of con venience nnd under the belief that he hnd n right to do so. The hnlf section hns been occupied nnd worked by both Mr. Walker nnd his family continuous ly without a break for more than two years past. The case is not settled. Real Estate Transfers.
