Tract Question in Wallace Land Dispute Covered by Mus
The long contested Wallace townsite land north of the Cedar and Ping alley, valued at $1000 to $2000 per tract, was first located by Colonel W R Wallace under a duplicate Sioux Script to a Walter Bourke. The duplicate script entry was canceled in 1889, prompting squatters to settle and contest. Northern Pacific Railroad interests and local officials played key roles, with decisions up to the Supreme Court depending on a government mineral land report. Other land cases from Lewiston and Washington involve Secretary Smith’s reversals and cancellations affecting entries and patents in several districts including North Yakima and Grays Harbor.
