Isnportant to stock Men.

Fort DODGE, Jan. 22.--The supreme
court of Iowa has just rendered a very
important decision, disposing of the
question whether the owners of unoccu.
pied lands can recover damages for tres
pass by stock in grazing. The decision
is that damages a be recovered. For
years thousands of acres of prairie land
in northwestern Iowa, owned by eastern
capitalists and corporations, have been
depended upon by stock raisers for free
forage, resulting in numerous snug fort
unes for stock raisers. The encroach-
ments of settlers have made these lands
valuable for hay crops, and hundreds of
suits instituted against the stock raisers
by the land owners. Thesupreme courts
decision was rendered in the case OF
Harrington VS.. Adamson, appealed from
Palo Alto county, and settles the point
involved in all suits that are pending in
the lower conrts. The market price of
land will be greatly increased, as the re-
suit of the election.

The report is true. I know that the
Hostetter interest in the Pittsburg and

the power they possessed was ample.

WICHITA, Kan, Jan. 22.--Word has
been received that the house will take
action ON the Oklahoma bill on Thurs.
day, and the outcome is awaited with
much interest. Maj. Lille. '.Pawnee
Bill, stated that the preliminaries for
the Oklahoma invasion were progressing
ing favorably, and that he would cross
the line of the territory Feb. i. Be
tween 800 and 1000 people in wagons
and on horseback will leave this city on
the 2Sth, to be joined at points along the
line of march by others. 1t is expected
that the number will be 5000 when the
line of the territory is reached.
Many who are not members of the col.
ony will take advantage of the crowd to
get into Oklahoma. Besides these are
the colonies from the east and south.
The rendezvous is not yet made public,
and, it is claimed, has not yet been de-
cided upon. The old cattle trail into the
territory from Caldwell is joined a short
distance south by forks from Hunnewell
and Arkansas City. The latter is called
the Boomer trail. One of these will
be taken by the invading party.
The cattle trail is a public highway
about six miles wide from Caldwell, and
no N "a be prevented from traversing
it, At Salt Fork, in the territory, the
party will leave the trail and strike into
ths promised land of Oklahoma.
AT this point thec conflict is expected

They cannot compel a man owalk after

the interesting point is, how a few

for some. time. The invasion is going
