End NJ IN. v.1oas IAtisstien--The su-
yrsns 6surt Dssidss I'm Fsvsr OF the Set
The supreme court of the United
stakea has rendered q very important de-
cision In the celebrated Usage land case,
in which IL involved the title OF 96O, 600
acres of land In Kansas. This Is the
largest and perhaps most important land
case ever presented for adjudication.
Under certain scts of Congress passed In
March. 1863, and July, 1866, grants OF
land in Kansas were made in the usual
form in aid of the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas, and the Leavenwortn. lawrence
and Galveston Railroad Companies. Az
the time these grants were matie the
Usage Indians held large tract OF rlch
and valuable land in Kansas known AZ
the Usage reservation. The Osages
decided their land to the United States
by a treaty proclaimed Jan. Il, 1867,
the Government undertaking to sell that
norton known as the Usage treaty land,
about $50, 600 acres, the proceeds to be
applied to the general civilization OF the
Indians. Another portion OF the land
was called the Usage trust land, and
this was to be sold for the benefit OF the
Osages themselves. A third portion was
called the diminished reservation, which
remained in possession of the Osages
until recently, when, by an arrangement
with the tribe, this diminished portion
was also sold, and the Osages went to
the Indian Territory. On April III,
1869, Congress passed an act authorlz-
ing the sale of the Usage coded lands to
actual settlers at $1.25 per acre, and I'M
der this act settlers entered the coded
lands. The railroads then set up claim
that these lands belonged to them by
virtue of the acts of March, 1868, and
July, 1866. They claim that, although
when the acts were passed these lands
did not pass under the grant, that the
grant attached when the Indian title was
extinguished. Atty. Gen. Williams, at
the instance of Congressman Lawrence,
of Ohio, authorized suits to be brought
in the name of the United States against
the railroad companies, to adjudge that
they were not entitled to the lands. The
case was decided by Justice Miller, OF
the Supreme court, and Judge Dillon,
of the Kansas District court, in January,
1874, the decision being against the rail-
roads and in favor of the settlers, to pro-
tect whom the suit was brought by the
Government. The railroads appealed
the case to the Supreme court, before
which it was argued last October by
Judge Black and Mr.. Lawrence for the
settlers and Col. Phillips and Senator
Edmunds for the railroad companies.
There are now on these ceded lands
population of at least 10, 900 people,
possessing schools, churches, and vari
GUS industrial establishments. The de-
cision, which was read by Justice Davis,
affirmed the judgment OF the lower court
in favor of the settlers.
