(now Mrs. N,ick Smith) was heard
before Commissioner Kllis last
Monday. The contest was brought
against n homestead entry mode by
Mrs. hmith in 1902 to a tract of
land south ol Rend on which there
is n goodly amount of flue timber.
The allegation of the contestant
was failure to reside upon the laud
and to cultivate it ns required by
law. The contcstec put no wit
ncsscs on the stand, tMsing the de
fense on the introduction of a certifi
cate from the county clerk showing
that she had txiid taxes on personal
property situated on unpatented
land. The contestant introduced
evidence to prove that contcstec
had made her residence iu Rend
since making the homestead entry.
