the celebrated Guilford Miller decision in
one important particular. The Miller de-

Yakima Indian reservation were not ex :
cepted from the grant to tho Northern Pa.
cific, and when the Indian title to such
lands became e1tinguishea the right thereto

its grant.

the Crow reservation. holds in effect that
lands included within technical Indian
reservation, at the date on which the grant
becomes effective, is absolutely excepted
from the grant, and in the event of the
extinction of the Indian title they revert to
the public domain. The commissioners
