That Forest Ranger J. E. Gribblo
entered a homesteader's cabin with a
skeleton key to secure evidence
against the settler to be used in oust
ing him from his laud, and thereby
violated the law himself, is the asser
tion made by the officials of the fed
eral land office at Roseburg in over
ruling the contest brought against Dr.
Krward E. Emerson who has taken
up a homestead in the Crater ration
al forest. Tho opinion reads as fol
lows :
lln his apparent eagerness to make
oat a case against the claimant, the
witness J. E. Gnbble, entered tho
cabin home of this settler by means
of a skeleton key, thus himself vio
lating a statute, there being no law
authorizing nay detective, stnto or
federal officer to enter tho private
homo of any person without due pro
cess of law. Tho little cabin homo
of tho settler is as sacred under the
law as is the homo of tho man who
live- in a nmnbion or Nob hill."
Continuing, the laud offieo rules:
"The contestant has wholly failed
to prove any of tho charges and the
testimony of tho chief witness for
the contestant, . E. Grihble, is that
the claimant didt establish residence
on the laud for ho, Grihble, saw him
there and also saw his household
goods. That claimant did
cultivate the land for witness saw a
crop growing there. '.There
is not sufficient ovideneo to support
nay of the charges and the motion to
dismiss is hereby sustained."
Attorneys A. K. Renines and O. V
Lawlor represented tho ooutestee.
