Victory for land entrymen in Tweedy case decision
The La Grande land office ruling favors land entrymen in the Tweedy contest against A F Boyne, signaling that about 300 entries held up may be approved as grazing rather than agricultural land. The decision is described as typical of roughly 500 similar cases, with witnesses and expert testimony supporting grazing use and noncultivation. The ruling upholds that the lands involved are better suited for grazing, affecting numerous pending entries under the Fulton act.
