A misc. 1907 Philip newspaper fragment notes political debate on Crawfordism and populism, Roosevelt’s bank phrase, postal savings skepticism, and jury system curiosities. Includes local ads for printing and Percheron horses, and a barber shop pitch.
Notice is given that several settlers and applicants, including Mark Ken and Theodore P. Eich, filed intent to make final homestead or commutation proofs. Hearings before U.S. Commissioner Byron L. Glow at Chamberlain and Pierre are scheduled for April 1908, with witnesses listed to prove continuous residence and cultivation on claimed lands in sections and townships across South Dakota.
A flood of contest notices from the United States Land Office in Pierre and Plorry lists numerous contestants opposing homestead entries. Affidavits allege abandonment of tracts for more than six months, lack of improvements, and failure to settle or cultivate as required. Notices command appearances and evidence submissions before the registers and receivers.
