Another chapter has been added to
the already famous tract of land In
volved In tho Clopton. Horning contest.
This time Miss Horning appears to m
unlucky. It will be remembered that
Mlts Horning claimed the land under a
settlement made prior to the time that
Mita Clopton offered her timber and
stone application for the samo tract.
The evidence wav taken before Ueo.
Chaitaln nearly two year ago. The re
gister and receiver rendered oppoalte
opinions and the cate appealed to the
CommWiloner where it waa decided in
favor of Mite Horning, again it was ap
pealed to'the Secretary and decision
rendered favorable to Miss Horning; an
application for review was made before
the Secretary and was denied about the
1st of March this year when Mist Hom
ing's application was accepted. Mies
Clopton dtd not care to pursue the liti
gation any further and f. A. Plnkerton
of Moscow, Idaho took up the fight and
came to Klamath Falls and filed a con
test against the claim the day that the
entry was allowed at the local land of
fice. On the 11th of March Mia Horn
ing sold her relinquishment and for
warded same to Lake view. Now the re
llnqatthment has been rejected and the
entry canceled as a result of the contest
and Plnkerton has been notified that he
has thirty days in which to exercise hi
preference right to enter the land.
Short Term of Court
Attorneys J. 0. Butenlc and F. H.
Mills returned last night roan take
view where they went to attend a abort
term of the Circuit Court Most of the
important matters were pat over until
the next term of the Court as at pre
sent there are no convenience) for bear
ing cases. The session was held in the
Odd Fellows hall and all county matter
are transacted in the same room while
the court house is being built. .
New rings at Winters.
No vnto will bo taken on the removal
of the county seat of Lake county. A
petition was presented to tho Circuit
Court Monday signed by a number of I
New Pino Creek residents asking that I
their names bo taken off of tho petition '
to have tho removal question placed on
the ballot at tho June election. Tho
Court granted the petition and the
tltlon for the removal ol the county
seat la now 11 names short of having
enough algners to entitle it to a place on
the ballot. Thla settle tho removal
question for the present and tho build
ing of the court limine at I.akeview can
now I canted on without fear of being
Interfered with by an Injunction suit.
It Is very likely that I.ako County will
rem in intact for somo time although
there is somo report about having a .bill
In tho next legislature providing for the
creation of a new county.
Large Car Coming
The time for the inauguration of the
automobile service between this city and
Dorris has not been definitely detoimin
ed upon, but it will be in the near future.
While in San Francisco Capt, J. M.
Mclntlre bought a car that will
cairy eleven passengers and It will be in
charge of a man who thoroughly under
stands the handling of a machine. The
