An Important Land Case

ST.. PAUL, June 24.-One of the most i'm.
portant suits ever heard in the courts in this
g :ate involving the title to large section of
land in the center of the city of Duluth, came
up in the United States circuit court today.
The property involved in the litigation includes
about 700 acres in the heart of Duluth. The
Northern Pacific yards. coal yards, docks and
other valuable property are in the district and
the total value is placed at over $7,O00,OO0.
The basis of the suit is the reservation to one
Armstrong In an Indian treaty of 1858, be.
tween the Laporine band of Chippewas and the
United States, whereby there was patented to
Armstrong certain land, an undivided half of
which he sold to Fred Prentiss. Afterward
Armstrong gave the deeds of the other
half to Cash & Kelly, of Duluth, and J. NJ
Gilman, of St. Paul. All the titles in the
Duluth third division proper came through
Gilman, Cash & Kelly. Mr.. Prentiss never
conveyed his undivided half in the land and
now sues to recover the same. This ls only one
of series of cases involving the same question.
The Jury has been waived and the case will be
tried by the court. Some of the ablest lawyers
in the country have been retained on either side
and the day was spent in listening to their
arguments. Court adjourned until tomorrow
at the close of the argument of Ex-Gov Davis,
late this afternoon. The case ia expected to b
finished tomorrow.

Murdered for His Money.

CINCINNATI, June 24.-The body of young
man was found lying under the Cincinnati and
Newport bridge on the Cincinnati side this
morning with the head resting on his hand as IL
asleep. The only wound was on the under side
of the left jaw and the neck was broken. The
theory that he had fallen from the bridge was
disproven by his easy position and by the alb
sence of injuries that fall of sixty feet would
produce. He was we'll dressed, but no money or
papers were found on his person. The young
man was seen drinking last night in several
saloons and displayed much money, and the
supposition is that he was killed, robbed and
placed under the bridge to give the appearance
of accident.

convention was called to order this morning by
Hon. Joseph Mcdonald, chairman of the state
central committee. The platform was read by
Hon. W. II. English, and advocates reform in
tariff, reform in labor and reform in currency.
1t declares the republican p-rty stands ar
raigned at the bar of public opinion for long
and continued course of usurpation and misrule.
1t has disrega1ded the rights Of the people and
the states. 1t has held on to its illgotten power
in defiance of popular will by corrupt use of
money in elections, especially in Indiana in
1880, and it has corrupted public morals by
be dishonest, and has continued during times of
peace system of high taxation, justified only
by condition of war, of which it
had its origin. The continuance Of
the same party or set of men
in power consecutively for a great many
years is natu ally corrupting and not in
accordance with the genius Of our republican
institutions. The long continuance of the re-
publican party in power, now nearly quarter
of century, has been q bid to star route and
other frauds and corruptions, frightful to con-
template. The platform concludes as follows:
Our confidence and esteem for Hon. Daniel
w. Voorhees,, our great representative in the
United States senate continues unabated and
we cheerfully greet him aud his democratic as
sociate from Indiana in the house Of represen-
tatives, with the plaudit. well done good and
faithful public servants"
1t will be the mission of the democratic party
to foster and build up all the great business
and mutual intererts of the country and restore
the government to the purity of the earlier day.
To successfully accomplish this u man should
be placed in the presidential chair in whom the
business men of the country and in whom the
people place implicit confidence; man fully
endorsed with all the qualities desirable on the
part of the great American republic;
man with pure and spotless
personal and political record, and always
sound upon all great questions of the times.
We know Joseph E. Mcdonald of Indiana to
he such q man, and we resp ,ctfully present his
name to the people of the United States as
worthy to be their president, and We hereby
instruct the delegates from Indiana to the
democratic national convention to support his
nomination for that high Office as q unit and
to use all honorable means to secure bis nom-
ination.

what vice PreS10enC O8keS says.
ST.. PAUL, June 26.-Mr. Oakes, vice president
of the Northern Pacific, was seen late tonight in
regard to the report of the house committee on
forfeitine portion of the land grant of his
road. Mr.. Oakes said very little, if anything,
could be added to what had already been said in
regard to this attempted injustice to the North
ern Pacific road. He claimed that they were
going along in good faith to complete the line,
and had shown by what they had done that they
we're at work in good faith to carry out their
contract with the government; and he added.
"We are at work now building a line from
Ainsworth west and have already constructed
twenty-five miles from the Ainsworth end and
twenty-five mile~ from the Puget Sound end.
We take the position that the land grant is in
present., that is, grant actually made and for
specific purposes. One that could not be
a!ienated, and devoted to any other object.
dispose of the land to build the road, but we
do not recognize the right of the government
to use the lands for any other purpose. The
grant is for specific object; the people de-
manded the road. To other roads the govern
ment gave money; to this one lands. Had the
government stepped in when the road failed to
be completed within the time specified and
taken the lands and used them for the purpose
of finishing up the road, that would have been
different thing; the government saw the road
finished after the time specified in the grant
and made no objections to the action of the
manaoers of the road going on and finishing it
under these circumstances, and had no right
now to withdraw the lands from us unless it
does so in order to complete the road ITSELF"
