great expense and inconvenience. The
land office would then dismiss that
contest and give the contestant a cer
tain time to move to reinstate his
case. Instead of doing this, a large
n mber of them dropped the first
case and started new contests on ex- j
actly the same ground. The local j
office allowed such contests for some
time, hut their frequency and man
ifest inconvenience, and in some
cases, injustice, led to a full examin-'
ation of the matter on the part of the ,
off'cers, and last week In an opinion '
written by Receiver Eberhard, con
curred In by Register Bramwell, the
iand laws were exhaustively discuss
ed, end the conclusion reached that
such contests were not legal. Ac
cordingly they were dismissed.
The opinion of Receiver Eberhard,
if sustained on appeal, will hereafter
require all persons to stay with their
first contest and fight it out in that
case.
The current work in the land office
at present is heavy, and besides tak-'
ing care of that with the office force,
Register Bramwell and Receiver
Eberhard are working early and late i
on contest case3, proofs, etc., which
are on file.
