Federal Judca JVan dismissed yester
day mornlrc the suit of tha Oovcrnn.ent
acalnst Charles P. Whitney to cancel
patent to I'M acres of land In Lane
County. The evidence showed that Whit
nay did not comply with the homestead
reel lence and cultivation law. but the
court held he acted In good faith and
with no Intention to defraud the Govern
ment.
The court ought to and will set aside
patents for Government lands upon clear
nd satlsfaclory rroof that they ware
obtalred by fraud and false swearing.

richts as a suitor are to be determine.

Assistant Culled Slatea District At
torney Maguira Is In Grants Pa,
where he will take tcstlmnay today In
the case of tha Government against
Harry C. Lewis. The suit Is one
brought to cancel patent. It Is not a
strong a case as the Whitney case, aa
Lewis ba planted an orchard on the
homestead claim. He has not lived on
It. however. having another ranch
near by. Whitney, while proving up
on h's claim, lived In Aberdeen. Wash,
and his wife and children are said not
to have visited the homestead.
