An Important Land precision.

Washington, Oct. 22-A land case Of
great Importance, the Southern Mime
sofa Railway Extension company VS..
Augustus kufner, was to-day decided by
the secretary of the interior. In 1876
land grant of railroad was certified to
the state OF Minnesota by the land de.
partment for the benefit of the railroad
company. Kufner, however, recently
made an entry of tract OF land, and his
entry was received by the commissioner
of the land Office, who held that the GER
titicate of lands to the state was irregu.
lar, and that the certificates had no force
as patents. The secretary, upon n re.
view of the legislation upon the subject,
holds that by virtue of the grant, and
under nn act of July 4, 1866, as amended
July 18th of the same year, the title to
the land in contest passed to the state
Of Minnesota for the benefit of said com.
pany when the tract was certified to the
state in 1876 by the land department.
He further holds that it having been de.
cided by said department in 1876 that
the land passed to the state under the
grant, ii having been so certified, and
under such adjudication the laude hav.
ing been generally sold to innocent par.

The Territorial Tax and the Governor.

Deadwood Times: Since the court has
decided the capital commission bill
nullity, which is, in substance that the
capital of Dakota is at Yankton and has
never been removed therefrom, the ques-
tion arises what is going to be done
about the territorial TAX which was levied
contrary to law. The law says, the
board of equalization shall meet at the
capital, etc. Now did it meet according
to law, or at some other point !?
We understand that two gen.
tlemen, n. G. Ordway and
G. l.. Ordway, presuming that they
we're the board, met at Bismarck. way
station on the Northern Pacific railroad,
and did then and there, ''ln violation of
law and against the people and dignity
of the people OF the territory of Dakota
declare that the people pay SO much into
the territorial treasury as a territorial
tax. Was there any authority of law for
such meeting?
We have heard rumor that the gov
ernor. N. g., will remove his Office back
to Yankton, the capital, at which
the people of that city set
up demurrer" and in fact. the whole,
or nearly so, of south Dakota protests
against it. If the governor, of his own
free will and accord does not think pro.
per to remove his Office back to the capi-
tai from where he stole it, the correct
thing to do, in our opinion, would be TO
declare the Office vacant, which can be
done by the president upon the recon.
mendation of the secretary of the inte-
| rior.
Press and daily Dakotaian. (Yankton, Dakota Territory [S.D.]) 1880-1889, 1883-10-24

Governor Ordway denies the statement
that he had endorsed General Campbell
for the vacant judgeship and in his denial
says:
Campbell has been an attorney for
Yankton on the capital removal question
now before the courts, hence his appoint
ments to succeed Judge KiddA would be
an outrage upon Justice. Campbell's
support comes from anti-removal and
revolutionary state elements. Dakota
requires an honest, able and fearless
judge. I withdrew all former endorse
ments of Campbell when he pooled is-
sues with the Yankton ring and the
worst elements who had previously been
fighting hlm, and joined them in advo-
cating the unlawful overthrow of terri
torial authority.
In connection with this statement oc.
ours the following telegram from Bis.
marck:
The report that Assistant District At.
torney @. S. Palmer has pooled with
Campbell in order to secure promotion
to the United States attorneyship il
without foundation. Mr.. Palmer is an
able lawyer, and is backed by Senator
Edmunds of Vermont, for almost any
place he may desire. hence will not com
NIT himself upon any question in ad
vance, or bargain with Campbell.

Regarding the action of the Episcopal
convention in making division OF Da.
kota for church purposes, the Chicago
News says:
What will no doubt be generally &C.
cepted as illustrating the sentiment in
Dakota on the subject OF the division Of
the territory took place in the Protes.
tant Episcopal convention at Philadel.
phia the other day. This was the divi-
sion of Dakota into two bishoprics, con-
sequent upon the information afforded
by delegates from that jurisdiction that
such q step was necessary. What is also
significant is that the dividing line be.
tween the two dioceses is the parallel OF
latitude chosen by the recent constitu-
tional convention of south Dakota for
the northern boundary of the proposed
new state, and that the bishop of Mo
brara has been assigned to the diocese
lying south of that line. The body that
has taken this action is SO conservative
as to have called forth comments from
such conservative persons as the visiting
English and Canadian bishops. It is
not likely, therefore, that the division
would have been made unless strone
evidence was afforded them that the pro
posed political division is earnestly de
sired by the majority of Dakotaians.

New LONDON, June 20.-The four mile
straight-away, eight-oared race between
Harvard and Columbia was rowed this
morning, Harvard winning by twelve
lengths. The wind was fresh and consid-
ably before the start making bad chop
py sea. Harvard had the west and Colum
bia the east course. Harvard, though
splashing trife, got the best start, and at
the first half mile, Harvard pulling thirty
six strokes, had the lead of half a length
AT the mile, which was reached in lust
six minutes, they had clear length. Both
crews pulled in fine form. Harvard grad
ually increased the lead and dropped to
thirty-three strokes which she maintained to
the finish. At this time Columbia was
pulling twenty-nine strokes. The mile and
| half passed by Harvard in ten minutes,
and at the two mile flag the time was 1906
| with lead of three lengths. Columbia
at this point was twenty seconds behind.
The race was virtually over
here. Harvard gradually increased
her lead, Columbia showing visible signs
of being used up. At the two and one-half
mile flag Harvard led by four lengths,
pulling thirty-four strokes to Columbia
thirty-two. At the three mile flag Harvard
had lead of five lengths, which she in
creased at the three and one-half mile flag
to seven lengths. Here Harvard made a
fine squirt and crossed the line, pulling
thlrty-four strokes, winning the race by
twelve lengths il 24:45. Columbias time

Another version of the shooting obtain
ed from a man called Tony, who was pres
ent, is that Murray, who was looking for
Mrs. Watson's house, knocked at Meters
door, and endeavored to force an entrance
after being told he was at the wrong house..
A scuffie took place between him and
Meier, during which Murray .drew his re-
Volver and fred, the ball entering Meier's
right side, fracturing one of his ribs.
Tony says he grabbed Murray by the
throat, threw him down, jumped upon him
with both knees, and held him fast until
Officers Zirklebach and Katie arrived and
made the arrest. Murray acted very indif-
ferent. and said he would as soon shoot a
dozen as one"
The wounded man was visited at an early
hour this morning and found to be still
alive. Drs. Bangs and Briggs were in at
tendance, and though they had made no
examination of the wound, thought there
was no immediate danger of his dying.
They intended to probe for the ball as soon
as Father Valentine, who had been sent for
and was present, had concluded his reli-
gious services.

A question has arisen in regard to inviting

because Gov. Butler is a 6-d-d nl--U--n

mean that the retirement of Senator Ros-
