opportunity to clear $104 by taking up
a homestead 'In tha 811eta reserve. Jonea
would supply the money and It would
net be necessary for him to take up act-

said. 'So I went home." .
The testimony, waa given In broken
English and with an evident anxiety to
tell the whole tor. When the time
came to make hla final proof the old
Midler began to realise that he was getting-
Into deep water. . Ho was reluctant
to make the necesaary affldavlta, but
. Wells said to him: "Oo and prove up
