"Thelstatement which was pub

leaves an erroneous impression re-

While the legal term, non.suit,
may be susceptible of various in.
terpretatione, it has generally been
taken by the people in this case as
meaning that the plaintiff was
forced out ofcourt. The facts are
that the dismission of the case was
perfectly in line with the wishes Of
the regents, whom we, as counsel,
represented, and that the secretary
has conceded all the things which
were vital in the issue. By com.

Hoke Smith Reverses.

Secretary Hoke Smith has rendered
an important decision in the case OF
Danielson, an Indian, who received an
allotment under the act of 1887, but tc
whom patent was never issued. His
father was white and his mother a
halfbreed, and he now wants to relin-
quish and take up other lands as a
homestead. The secretary thinks it a
case of collision for another party to
get the allotment under the homestead
act, and decides that the Indian is en-
titled to the land under the allotment
act, notwithstanding former depart
mental decision in the famous South
Dakota case of Black Tomahawk VS..
Waldron, and that he cannot relinquish.
There is every indication that the relin-
quishment is but move to allow
another party, who has been contesting
the allotment, to cover the land with
homestead entry. The law did not
contemplate that there should be any
sale or contract to sell within % years,
and during that time the government
is to stand as trustee for the Indian.
The Indian is not even supposed to
have the right to cut the timber during
that period, except as it may be nee
essary to obtain some for making i'm
prOvementS.

Buying More Land.

The leading stockholders in the Min
nesota Gold Mining and Refining Com
pany at Redwood Falls continue to pur-
chase land in and around the present
seat of mining operations. The latest
tract purchased is farm of 100 acres
from German farmer residing just
north of the mine. The consideration
is said to have been $4,000. The par
ties making the purchase stated to the
farmer that the company would not
make report on their clean up until
at least $40, 900 worth of gold was taken
out.
In the meantime operations at the
mine are pushed with vigor. The COM
pany is not unloading any of its stock
here-or even attempting to unload any
portion of it. In fact, stock issued for
lum Der, ETC., is being bought up wher-
ever found on the market. A report
comes from Kansas City, and one or
two Eastern points, that some of the
stock has been placed on the market
there.
