AN IMPORTANT RULING.
a Decision in the NaT Case in Favor
of the Entrymau.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.--The case OF
John l.. NAH, of Washington which has
been before the department of the in
terror on several occasions during the
past year, is the subject of an important
ruling. Natfs payment for the land was
not entered by the receiver, who pock-
eted the cash. When a second payment
was made the burning of the Office de.
stroyed the records. The ruiag made
now is In effect that Natf is entitled to
recover from the government his first
payment, and at the same time get title
to his land. This leaves the govern
mcnt to suffer the loss by the receiver $
action, rather than the settler, as has
here tofore been the case.
