Transcript	[April Mon 30] Trial of Armstrong v. Oakley before Judge Williamson - under advisement. [May Tues 1] Committee of Gig Harbor Squatters - Hunt, Fonda, Moore, Collins, Schillein, Kimball &c came to see me about settlement of the Jeresich and Farrague claims. I have offered, as attorney for Jeresich & Farrague, to compromise by allowing each actual settler from one to four acres of land where his improvements stand, to be sold to them after final proof, at $25.00 per acres. They are in the main satisfied with this, but some of them want more land - as much as ten acres in some cases. I have said to them that no one will be allowed water front, and that no one on water front north of Jeresich's house will be given any privilege of holding land. I have said to them plainly that neither Jeresich nor the other claimants would agree to any thing - that I alone would make the agreement and that they must look to me to have it consummated after final proof - they agree to that.
