EADER ABSENCE TO MAKE LIVING BAR TO PATENT SMITH LOSES CASE. NO MORS Word has been received at the La.fc to 0 thousand volts and are sure . . y . the secretary of the interior revers ing the action of the commissioner of the general land office and granting a patent to Mrs. Ida B. Welchel, for merly Ida B. . Roberts of Wallowa, and the decision of the commissioner in rejecting the final proof of Wal ter Smith, of Joseph, says the Obser ver. . In the former case, the entrywo- man, who was a nurse without other means of support, was away from her entry considerable of the time and when she made proof the. forest ser vice protested her entry, claiming that the residence' of the claimant was insufficient. After a number of hearings end decisions, the commis sioners ordered a further hearing to take . more evidence im the case. From this action, she appealed, and Assist ant Secretary Pierce reversed the holdings of the commissioner and or dered that she be given a patent. The case has been pending over two years. Mrs. Welchel now resides near Seattle, Wash. Famous Shooting. Recalled. The Smith case involved a construc tion of the law permitting proofs to be made where the en try man has been absent from the homestead en try by reason of insanity. In 1902, Smith filed on some land near Frulta, on the upper Imnaha river, and later the land was placed in a forest re- serve. Smith claims to have resid ed upon the land from February 1903, to October 21, 1903, when he went) to Joseph rfor supplies, and while at the lake city was detailed as a city po liceman for a Hallow e'en' night; and that while performing his duties as such officer was shot by a thug, and dangerously wounded; that from the effects of such wound he .was dis abled, and rendered incapable of physical labor, and later became men tally weak, the latter condition ne cessitating 1 his confinement in an asylum in Dakota, where his rela tives were obliged to take him. He never resided upon the land after receiving the wound, and upon of fering a proof in February 1910, show1! lng the foregoing facts, in excuse of his, failure to reside upon or culti vate the land, the forest service filed a protest. J' . Insanity Plea Insufficient The commissioner has now reject ed the proof and ordered the cancel- latlon of the entry because the proof of Smith's residence prior to. his insanity was unsatisfactory, and not ing that he came back to Oregon to make proof in person, assumes that he had regained his normal condition and he could have resided on the place. Comment is also made that while en try man married after his re ceiving the shot, no effort was made by either entryman or the family to reside upon or cultivate the land .CHAPMAN piSTRICT NEWS.

The Spokane and Inland people register complaint to U13 damage done their high tension power lines In the Palouse country by hunter shooting up and breaking the Insula tors. This may be the result of thoughtlessness In a few instances, but by far the greater number of In stances It is the result of pure cus- I seciess We have far too many tun- tes (so-called) who (eel Impelled to baig away at everything in sight when, out with a gun, regardless of consequences either to life or property.-. Shooting Up and breaking Insu lators on high tension power lines la a serious offense. There is great dknger when the Insulators are brok en of the wires becoming crossed, using serious damage and possible as of life of employes and others. he hi eh tension Hiifts carrv from '10 cause serious trouble every time an insulator Is broken. There is a state' law, punishable by fine and imprisonment, or both, for interference with electric lines or injury to poles, wire or Insulators, which should be Invoked to stop the nefarious practice mentioned above. In fact, the Inland people have, posted notices offering a reward of .j0 for the arrest and conviction of persons tampering wth. their lines. A few examples will have a wholesome ef fect.
