The matter of w. L. Burrow ct al. vs..
q. Kimball ct al, occupied the attention
of the court all day yesterday. w d.
King appeared for the plaintiffs and John
NJ. Zane for the defendants. This case
arose under the statutes of 1892, provld-
ing for the leasing of school lands. Land
situated near Schofielc was leased under
this act to plaintiffs, and the lease was
attached on two grounds by the de-
PENDANTS. First. fraud in obtaining the
lease, and second, the constitutions
atty of the act. The real question, how
ever. comes under the second head and
questions really, the meaning OF the
United States statute as to whether Sec
tions sixteen and thirty-six are simply
granted to the territory, the title re-
manning in the United States, or whether
it actually rests IN the territory. Judge
title was in the territory, and there
fore it could lease the property. The
point as to whether or not the land could
be sold by the territory was not involved,
and, therefore, not decided. Plaintiffs
right to the land was all right, and SOB
damages and costs were allowed. It is
understood defendants will appeal the
case to the supreme court of the territory.
