I State selection under Act of Sep- 



f tember4th, 1841; date of location, September 28th, 1857; Warrant No. 300; James B. Speer. 



State selection under Act of September 4th, 1841; 



date of location, October 26th, 1857; Warrant No. 304; James B. Speer. This selection was 

 rejected by the General Land Office, because part of the selection was granted by a prior Act, 

 and the State refused to take the remainder in full for 320 acres. The location was canceled by 

 letter "C" from General Land Office, dated January 21st, 1870, and Warrant No. 304 returped 

 for delivery, to proper party. The ne J of sec 17 was entered by James S. Williams, March 3d, 

 1870 cash entry No. 1,388 and the same was patented to James S. Williams, March 15th, 1871. 



I find no State selection 



for this land ; that part of it which is not swamp has been disposed of by the United States. 



State selection No. 162, under Act of 



September 4th, 1841 ; location dated November 17th, 1857 ; Warrant No. 43 ; Yancey B. Stokes. 



State selection, Act September 4th, 1841 ; location No. 181 ; dated January 22d, 1858. 



State selection, Act September 



4th, 1841 ; location No. 199; dated April 27th, 1858; Warrant No. 117; George Edward Long. 



State selection, Act 



September 4th, 1841; location No. 1; dated November 17th, 1858, for David Biggs. It seems 

 that the original list of the State Locating Agent reads : " E i of se J of sec 7," instead of 

 w of se J. It seems certain, however, that the w % of se i was intended, because that is the 

 land claimed under the location, and otherwise the tracts would not be contiguous. The e 

 of se J of sec 7 was patented to the Southern Pacific Railroad Company, December 12th, 1874. 



State selection under 



Act of September 4th, 1841 ; location No. 4; dated October 25th, 1858, for E. G. Campbell. H. 

 D. Bequette, State Locating Agent, September 28th, 1860, withdrew this location. The Honor- 

 able Commissioner of the General Land Office, by letter of October llth, 1864, to this office, 

 states that this withdrawal is without legal authority or effect, and that the selection is binding.
