D., July 21.-(Spec!al.)-In th cafe of Kffie M. Walker and A. O. Stanger aa transferee for a tract of land In Hyde county the secretary of the Interior over rules the decision of the general land office in cancelling the proof of Miss Walker to tract of land in Hyde county. The claim ant filed on the tract In 1906 and made reel. dence on the. claim and commuted the entry In the spring ot 1906. Later she sold the tract and In August of 190$ A special agent of the government recommended cancella tion of the proof on account of Insufficient residence and cultivation. On a hearing it was shown 'that the claimant had provided a comfortable small house on the tract; had broken five acre, which was cultivated and used the claim as a horn while she taught school at a point about four miles from the tract. She boarded near her school during that time. but went to the claim every Friday evening, remaining until Monday morning, except during the holiday vacation, which she spent with her parents at Huron. The house was comfortably furnished and was supplied with sufficient fuel to withstand the severity of winter and tho residence was held on th land up to the time ot final proof. When proof was made the claimant left her furniture in th building until a part of the structure and contents were stolen, when she sold what was left of the building and took away her belongings. This was given as one ot the evidences of bad faith on her part. After a review of the case the holdings of the general land office are reversed and the proof sustained. This case will be of more than passing interest to many young women who are holding homesteads while teaching school and will likely be used as a precedent to many ilk cases which are numerous in th northwest.
