Gener,Il L0rine

A number of distinguished arrivals are
noted this week, among them being Gen.
w. W. Loring, of Florida, an uncle Of
Mrs. Senator Spencer, and Pasha in the
service OF the Khedive of Egypt during
the late war. He has been in that country
for the past ten years, returning to his
home in Florida last June. He is a man
of medium statue, and has a rather promi-
nent parrot-shaped nose. During the
Mexican war he lost his left arm while in
the siege of the capitol. He is astonished
at the great northwest, and says that the
soil of the Red River valley is OF the same
quality as that Of Egypt, except that while
the former is only a few feet thick, the
latter is nearly a hundred. His descrip,
tions OF Egyptian customs are amusing
and instructive. He has plenty Of moaey
and will invest somewhat along the line
OF the Northern Pacific. He arr ived
Monday night, in company with Major
Edwards, Senator Spencer and Orin G.
Frost, merchant of Wheatland. Spencer
went on through to the Hills the same
night, while the other three went to see
Pinafore. Tuesday they visited Mandan.
and were not particularly pleased with
the prospects OF that city. "Wednesday
morning they left for the east on Manager
Sargent's car.

Spotted Eagles camp is about forty miles

Long Dog, Little Knife, No Neck, Little,
Assinnaboine, Lame Brule,, White Bird,
a Nez Perces Chief, and Black Hare. They
are all fine looking Indians. Sitting Bull

he has lied to them, and Sitting Bull says
he will not come back under any consid-

&' THEY LIKE MAJOR WALSH,
who has them under perfect control The
engagement of Miles with the fleeing In
dians creates considerable laughter north
of the line among the mounted police and
Gen. Ruger also laughs in his sleeve at
the ambition of Miles and the manner in
which the people have been led to believe
that great battle was fought Sitting.
Bull admits that his band 60 across the
line and steal stock, but claims right on
the ground that the Crows come over there
and steal, and the only way to keep even
is to steal them back again, or their equiv

whites. They do not want to do anything
to provoke the United States against them
The half breeds have nothing to do with
the Indians whatever except that they

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, |
WASHINGTON, July "a, 1879 !
SIR:-I have considered the case
of Marcni Green vs.. the State of
California, involving the w. J of
SW. / of Sec. II, Township 2 S.,
Range IA w. S. NJ, Los Angeles,
California.
The principles announced In my
decision In the case of Selby VS.. the
State of California, dated May 81,
1879, will govern in this case. The
State of California selected the SW.
/ Of the aforementioned section
and township April %, 1868. as in
demuity school laud. 1t was APP
proved to the State November 81,
1871, and was confirmed by the act
of March l, 1877, unless excepted
from the operation Of said confirm
atory action by the pre.emption
settlement uf Maroni Green, who
alleges settlement March 6, 1870.
The first important question to
be determined is, Did Green make
u settlement sin good faith upon
lands not occupied by the settle
m-nt or Improvement or any other
person?"
The Department is not called
upon to express any opinion as to
the validity of the State selection.
The only question to be determined
is the validity of the presumption
claim of Green, under the confirm
atory statute of March /, 1877. 1t
appears that Andrew Joughiu set
led upon the SW. ! of Section IL
aforesaid, erected house thereon,
plOwed u portion of the tract and
made some slight improvements
The house and most Of the i'm
prOvements appear to have been
upon the east eighty acres, and not
upon the tract now in dispute.
Joughin. however, claimed the
whole l60 acres, and it was located
by the State for him April %, 1858.

IA.-No. sirV

A.-NO, SlTaf
1t is apparent from his own testl-
mony that Green, with full knowl-
edge ofthe claim ofanother, settled
upon the tract in question for the
purpose of appropriating the same.
1t Is not necessary to inquire
whether the mprovements thereon
were of much or little value, or
whether q person was actually re-
siding thereon at that date. The
settlement Of Green was not such a
settlement as is recognized by the
Courts or by this Department as
one made in good faith. The De-
partment, therefore, is not In po-
sition to recommend that a suit he
instituted in his behalf to set aside
the title transferred to the State by
the approval of November 81, 1871,
and which was confirmed by the
act of March /, 1877.
Your decision is reversed and the
entry of Green should be Cancelled
The papers in the case are here
with returned.
