NoBLEsOvERRULEs Villas.
Railroad Lands Enormously Pat
ented Must Be Reconveyed.

Special to the Globe
WASHINGTON, Dec. ga highly i'm
portant decision was filed by Secretary
Noble to-day, directing the commits
sioner of the general land office to de-
mand recOnveyance of certain lands
within the limits of grants to the Winona
q St. Peter and st. Paul & Sioux City
railroad companies, in Mr.. Lind's dis
trict, to the government within ninety
days, and directing the attorney general
TO institute suits against the railroad
cOmpany'S TO vacate patents for the
land if the commissioners demand is not
complied with. In his decision, which is
vOluminOus, the present secretary con-
strues the law of March, 1882, differently
from the construction placed thereon by
his predecessor. Secretary Villas held
that it was optional with the secretary
to order suit in behalf of settlers or not,
and refused to do so. Secretary Noble
holds the law to be mandatory where
the land grant Is not adjusted
and lands have been enormously certi-
fed to railroad companies. and makes
it the duty of the department TO order
suit brought to defend the rights of
settlers. This point is far reaching i'm
effect, not only affecting the title to
ldnQS IN tD6 grants 10 Tie TWO CON-
panies involved, but to the Manitoba
railway and MANY other roads hold
ing land grants in Minnesota
The case arose through settlers on the
land prior to the grant bringing suit for
title. John Lind has been at work on
the case for three years, and is jubilant
over the result, as he represents over
10000 acres of the lands involved. He
says the effect of the decision will be
beneficial to both the railroads and set
tiers, as it will put auietus
upon tie title to vast amount
of land all over the state
whichs been hung up for
years awaiting decision. The rail-
road companies c0ntended that the
grant had been adjusted, and that the
lands had not been enormously decided,
and wanted the settlers elected. Sec
retary Noble discusses the points at
some length in complex legal phraseol-
ogy, quotes numerous precedents and
finally holds that the grant has not been
apjusted.

TEEN for that gentleman were made in

clock for Mr.. Dickson himself, and an
elegant plush ease of pearl and silver
fruit knives for Mrs. Dickson. The re-
.ciplent of the testimonial made speech
in acceptance, and hoped that the
friendly relation existing in the depart

will be directed to the spot where the
bodies are buried. One of the miners
