Butte Homestead Case Reopened After Commissioner Reversal
In Helena on December 25 the acting Commissioner J. H. Fimple reversed a prior decision in the land dispute between Mayor Patrick Mullins of Butte and Emanuel Lees over a 360 acre homestead near Butte. Lees, who filed under agriculturist laws, faced long contest with Mullins alleging mineral and low agricultural value. The land lies near Silly Bow Creek with Lees's trial yard nearby. Mullins previously protested, but Oct 9 letter dismissed the protest for insufficient grounds, prompting a primaries case that has now been reopened and reconsidered.
