MAKING TROUBLE Early Day Sully County Settlers •ad Special Land Agents Pierre, Ang. 17. —Residents of Sully county are considerably stirred np over land troubles which someone is developing. In the earlv days of set tlement of the Missouri valley, a large per cent of the tinal proofs were what is known as "shack proofs," the residence not being as close as is required at the present by the goveru merit. It is safe to say that over half tne final proofs east of the Missouri river in Month Dakota and eastward were of this class. Now some one is reporting such proofs in Snllv county, some of them running back for years, and the laud having been patented years ago, has been transferred in some cases a number of times. On the re ports made to the government a spec ial agent has been in that section of the conntry for some time making in vestigations. Jnst what the outccme will be is, of coarse, unknown. While it is not likely that there will Imj any tinal cancellations, the story may cause trouble te some of those who mado tinal proof years ago, and cause them to get into court. In that case it would be hard to get a jury, which would set aside a title. Poatal Innovation.
