Red River Valley Land Cases.

GRAND FoKKs, n. d. Dec. IA
meeting of the property holders in
the Red River Valley is being held
here today to take some action In re-
gard to the order issued by the Great
Northern railway company warning
farmers to vacate lands belonging to
the company by Dec. Is. The farms
OF the Red River Valley have long
been in litigation, and recently q de-
cision adverse to the settlers was rem
dered by the Supreme Court, but it
was generally understood that
compromise would be reached by
which the railway could secure
indemnity lands in some other quar-
ter. The holders of the property,
many of whom have been In posses
sion of it for years, declare that they
will not leave it alive. There is real
Iy great danger of bloodshed, unless
the railway recedes from its position.
Evictions are only directed against
owners of old mum bered sections with
in the twenty mile indemnity land
grant limit. The railway claims in
clude the richest portion of the Red
River valley lands that have been
duly patented by the government.
Attorneys assert that the rail-
road companies have no claim
to the lands filed upon by
settlers prior to 1877. 1t seems
that the claim is based upon the old
land grant OF 1857, when Dakota was
a part of the territory of MinnesCta,
which granted every alternate section
of land to aid in the construction of
the railroad. When Minnesota was,
admitted into the Union in 1858. and
the boundary between Minnesota and,
Dakota was established, the country
along Red river was still an unknown,
wilderD ess and remained so for MANY
years. Up to Dec. %, 1890, II was.
taken for granted by the United States
government, by the people who set
tied the country, and also by
the railroad company, that the.
and grant did not extend west of the
Red River. On that date however
here was rendered in the Surname
'ourt of the United States a decision
~ Justice L. @. G.. Lamar in the now
amous case OF st. Paul, Minneapolis
md Manitoba railway comnanv
gainst Ransom Phelps, wherein oc.
urred dictum not really necesssrv
the disposal of the case i'm hand
ut which-if carried Out to its logical
Ohclusion could have no other effect
IAN to establish and confirm the
tie of the railway company to about
1900 acres of land along the left
ank of Red River, now worth
ON $50 to SS0an acre. That decision
as as great q surprise to the settlers
lemselves, many of whom had re-
1ed on the land for twenty years,
ID all OF whom held patents under
9 great seal and signed by success.

solution OF the senate, passed at the
It session, authorizing the same, the

ng the railway company to select
lieu thereof other public lands.
