The peaches are of the freestone and

lowing the rush there were more than
20 homesteaders luca ed in the tall

; tiers residing in tbe dis'rict. Through
all tbe litigation these maintained
; their residence on tbe lauda and
though every decision was adverse to
them, they continued to live in tbe
cabins, leaving only when necessary.
I nnen me laoos were opened io ei-
tlement, several people made a rush
for tbe better qaarter
sections.
. Immediately after going
over tbe
land, some started for Lukeview,
where they formed in line aud placed
timber and stoue Dilags. Others
i went onto tbe lands, posted notices
of settlement and tbea went to Line-
