Decision in the Case of the United States
VS.. the Southern Pacific Railroad.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-The Supreme
Court Of the United States to-day in
an opinion delivered by Associate Justice
Brewer decided the long-pending contro-
versy between the United States and the
Southern Pacific railroad over certain
valuable lands situated between the
Colorado river and Pacific ocean, within
the limits Of the grant TO the Atlantic
and Pacific railroad, which the Southern
Pacific Railroad Company claimed as
successor 10 the Atlantic and Pacific.
The case came up on appeal from the
circuit court for the Southern district OF
California Justice Brewer held that the
title Of the lands in question vested IN
the Atlantic and Pacific We're forfeited by
the act Of Congress in 1886. and did not
pass 10 the Southern Pacific railroad, but
was thereby restored TO the public do
mains, and therefore the title rests In the
United States. The decision Of the lower
court Is reversed, with instructions to
issue a decree giving TO the United States
the relief asked.
The property In question is valued at
several millions of dollars, consisting OF
land worth $40 TO $50 an acre.
