The supreme court Of Wyoming
territory has decided the question OF
fencing railroad lands, in the midst
Of government lands, adversely 10 the
government The decision proceeds
to say that when the government con
yeys lands TO any citizen or a eorpor,
alton il has precisely the rights in
the premises that private individual
has. II 3 private individual should
sell land 10 another that completely
surrounded land reserved 10 himself,
it would be foolish assumptionthat
the grantee could not fence the land
be had bought because it would en-
close the other land Of the grantor.
All the right the grantor would have
is the right Of way.
II that were denied be would be
entitled TO damages. The decision
makes the Law Of 1855, forbidding
railroad companies and ranchers, hay.
ing lands alternating by sections with
the pablo domain, from fencing the
same, unconstitutional. The govern
ment will have the power TO enforce
right Of way. This can be done by
detecting the fences al the corners Of
the sections between government sec
tons When each alternate section
Of land is fenced in a township Of
course it is 4 virtual fencing of all
the other sections But BY leaving a
passage way between the corners OF
THE governments alternate sections a
complete right Of way across the rail
road sections would be established.
The decision is reasonable as the
court puts it, but il will now 20 up
TO the supreme court Of the United
States for final adjudication.
