Special to the Leader.
Yankton, D. T., May 16.-In the
supreme court last night decision was
rendered affecting the validity of many
Black Hills mining titles. 1t was on
anappeal in the case of Ably VS.. Garri-
son, in which the court below ruled
that the Indian title to the Black
Hills country was invalid, and that le-
gal title to the property was vested in
the claimants who first took possession,
even if it occurred prior to the relin
quishment of the country by the Indian
treaty@ The supreme court reverses
this ruling, and holds that no title
could be acquired until the country was
ceded to the government by its Indian
owners. Opinion by Chief Justice
Shannon, his associates concurrinp.

No prospects Of q New Army nln.

Washington, May 16.-There is no
prospects of a very early action by the
house appropriation committee looking
to the passage of a new army appropri-
alton bill, a majority of the committee
being opposed to doing anything in
this direction until every resource to
secure the enactment of the political
clause of the old bill shall have been
exhausted. Meanwhile there is no
possibility of getting an army appro-
priation bill before the house for action
except by motion to suspend the rules,
which would require an unattainable
two-thirds vote.

THE Greenback meeting in the Court
House park ON Friday evening was a
thin affair. Hugo Pryor, the candi-
date of the Nationals for Lieutenant
Governor and Charles Jenkins, the
candidate for State Treasurer, were
the speakers. A large portion of the
speech of Mr.. Pryor was TRADE of
personal abuse of General Ewing, aud
denunciation of the Democracy, while
he hardly alluded to Mr.. Foster. This
fact was generally noticed by the au-
dience and the attention of the speak.
er was called to the fact at the close Of
his speech, and he was asked to give
his opinion of Mr.. Foster, which he
proceeded to do in brief and rather
giagerly manner. 1t was patent to
every one that the whole affair was
run In the interest of the Republican
party, but 1t will not pan out very
probably, as the people understand
full well that every vote Withdrawn
from Ewing and Rice is q vote given
to perpetuate the oppressive and ru-
inous financial policy Of John Sher-
man.

RAPID RUNNING.
From Medina to Akron in 2:es.

From Medina to Akron In 2:2S.
Some time ago we announced that
WIN. Frazier, Medina pedestrian of
considerable local fame, had wagered
that he could run from Medina to
Akron in two hours and a half. The
attempt was made yesterday morning
and was successful, Frazier being two
minutes ahead of time. He left Me-
dina at 4 o'clock, and reached the COR
ner of Howard and Market streets in
this city at 6 :2S. Concerning the eX-
act distance between the two towns
there is some dispute. 1t has general
ly been called % miles, but this is
questioned. Yet the lowest estimate
puts the distance at 20 miles, and if it
is no farther than this the feat shows
speed and endurance in a remarkable
degree.
Mr.. Frazier was warmly welcomed
in this city by a crowd which had COL
lected to see him come in. He was in
good condition, much better indeed
than the horses of Medina parties who
came over with him. He was i'm Ak
ron during the day, and freely offers
to wager that he can repeat the run in
less time.-I Akron Times, July 80.
