SETTLERS WIN THE SUIT.
OWNERSHIP OF VALUABLE TIM
Der LANDS DECIDED.

Verdict Giving Important Grants to the
Wisconsin Central Overruled --- Over
100000 Acres Thus Added to the Pub.
lie Domain.
MADISON, Wis, Sept. 16.-Judge
Bum, of the United States court here,
handed down opinions written by Jus
tice Harlan, of tho United States SUI
preme court, on several important cases,
all bearing on the same question, how
ever. which Judges Harlan and Bum,
sitting as United States circuit Judges,
have argued here last June. They are
in the nature of q test, but indirectly
involve the ownership of 100,O 900 acres
OF land, valued, with the pine timber
upon it, and hat cut off, but which will
have to be paid for if enc of the parties
loses, at about 81, 900, 600.
How the Question Arose.
Twenty-Five thousand acres lie within
the "place" limits of the Wisconsin Cen
trail and the indemnity of the so-called
Omaha grant. Some time ago the qucs-
lion arose as to which company owned
them, and the secretary of the interior
held that the lands belonged to neither
company, but reverted to the govern
ment. They were accordingly thrown
open to presumption and settlement.
Many settlers took nominal possession Of
them. though they have been unable to
obtain patents.
Disposed of the Land.
The Central company has all along
maintained that it owned the lands, and
all of them to various parties. In order
to give a clear title to the purchasers it
brought test suits to GUST i. A. Berkin
d. j. Lentz and William o. Forsyth,
settlers, each of whom pre-empted four
teen acres of the land last June. The
cases were tried, and in order to get
them before the court in the most ad-
vantageous name o jury was empan-
eled, which returned a verdict that the
lands properly belonged to the Central,
thus deciding against the pre-emptors.
This verdict Justice Harlan now over
rulea, which is q great
Victory for the Pre-Emptors.
When the jury in June gave its verdict
the settlers at once brought a suit in
equity to determine their rights, and to
settle the question. The Central at that
time promptly demurred to the billing
i'll the case, but now Justice Harlan
%overrules this demurrer, gives the rail
way company forty days i'll which to
file an answer to the bill and issues an
injunction the company from
further annoying the settlers with eject
ments. The a $ wills undoubtedly be
appealed to the United States supreme
court, but the settlers are now decid-
eddy ahead in the great legal battle.

THERE are lively times ahead in
the campaign. The challenge of
John D. Beton, democratic nominee
for congressman, to jointly discuss
the main issues that divide the party
with M. N. Johnson, republican
nominee for congressman, was ac-
cepted by the latter gentleman, and
at Wahpeton on Wednesday night
of this week the first meeting was
held. Mr.. johnson got the best of
this debate, and with his clear knowl.
edge of national affairs he is likely to
be an easy winner in the thirteen
succeeding debates to come off at
different places in the state.
