DECISION.
In Favor of the Government.
Many Thousands of Acres Go Back
to the Government.
In Favor of the Government.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-Chief JUS
tIce Fuller announced the opinion OF
the supreme court in the case of the
United States VS.. the Oregon & Cali
fornia, and Oregon Central companies,
involving titles to valuable lands near
Portland, Or, reversing the decision
Of the circuit court of appeals for the
ninth circuit.
The case is what is known as the
quadrant case. The decision of the
circuit court for the di strict of Ore
gon found in the favor of the govern
ment's contention, but was reversed
by the circuit court of appeals. The
chief Justices opinion in turn re-
verses the circuit court of appeals,
and sustains the circuit court and the
government contention. About 200,-
900 acres in Washington county are
involved in this decision.
In the case of Charles W. Nord-
strom VS.. the state of washington,
the opinion of the state supreme court
was affirmed. Nordstrom is under
sentence to be hanged for murder.
This decision will have the effect Of
confirming the sentence. He made
an effort ito have the verdict of the
court below reversed because the pro-
ceedings against him were based on
process of information rather than an
Indictment by the grand jury. The
cases of Harry Kramer, charged with
murder, and Adolph Krng, defalca-
tion, also from the state of Washing
ton, were dismissed by the court.
OTHER DECISIONS.
The decision Of the United States
supreme court in the quadrant
case, settles the title to about 100000
acres OF valuable land in Washington
county. More than 500 settlers occupy
the land and they will now be en-
abled to get title to the lands.
The land in question consists OF a
quadrant shaped tract having radius
of ten miles, situated adjacent to
point above the railroad which was
started to run from Portland to AS
tOria; stopped and turned at a right
angle and run south to McMinnville.
The government claimed that there
were two roads to which the grants
were given, the Portland and Astoria
road, and the one running from Hills
boro to McMinnville, while the rail-
road company claimed that the whole
was one continuous road and they
were entitled to grant ten miles in
width along the whole line.
When the grant, on the line from
Hillsboro to Astoria lapsed, many set
tiers, considering this quadrant tract
government land, took up hOmesteads
and pre-emption claims from the gov
ernment. Many who had bought

BEAVER FILLS WINS OUT
Olivia Boomers Knocked Out in
the county Seat Contest.

A telegram received here from st
Paul Tuesday announced that the
Supreme Court had decided against
Olivia in the county seat contest.
The county officials will now have
to alb go back to Beaver Falls.
Geo. Welsh and Col Frank Waters
|of Morton wererthe principal movers
against Olivia. The Keefes were with
tehm.. John Lind was their attorney.
Morton will probably now make a
struggle for the county seat.
According to the syllabus, of the de-
cision the latter is based on the point
made by Judge Bowers for Morton at
the commencement of the fight, be-
fore the commissioners. He contend
ed that it was necessary to obtain 55
per cent. of all votes cast, Ineligible
or uninteIligible, and not 55 per cent.
of the votes counted. The, syllabus
says that "all of the ballots cast, I'M
Ineligible as well as Ineligible,
must be- considered, and to, effect a
removal it must afirmatively appear
that at least SIS per cent of all votes or
ballots cast were in favor thereof.
AT the election in question 2,2l9
votes were cast in favor Of removal,
1870 votes against removal and 6e
votes or ballots were deposited in the
ballot boxes presumably by legal
voters, from which, it was impossible
to ascertain whether the voter intend
ed to vote for OF against removal.
Held, that the requisite IS per cent
of the votes cast was not obtained
Judgment reversed
This prevents another election Of
contest in the county for five years

MT. MARTIN ARRESTED,
Accused of Adultery With Victor.
la French,

Nathaniel Martin, farmer residing
in the town of Sheridan, just ter
miles south of Belview, was arrested
yesterday morning on the alleged
charge of adultery.
The complaint was sworn out ii
Justice Longbottom's court for Val
township. The warrant was issuec
Tuesday and made returnable yester
day.
Martin has a wife and six children
The youngest child is not quite two
years and the oldest not over thirteen
1t is stated that Mrs. Martin made
the complaint.
The woman in the case is Miss Vic.
toria French, the 24-year old daugh.
ter of NJ. w. French of that township
who has been domestic in Martin s
house for about three years past.
According to what could be learned
by GAZETTE reporter at the Martin
farm last Monday, the specific crime
was committed in Nov. 10th last, on
which date the thirteen year old
daughter of Martin is alleged to have
caught her father and the French
woman in a compromising situation.
The matter appears to have come
to head week ago yesterday when
Martins movements appeared to have
created suspicion. He came to Red
wood Falls with Miss French that
morning and the two left over the
noon Northwestern-for what place
cannot be learned.
Rumors were Immediately started
that Martin had abandoned his wife
and children. The rumor was ad-
mitted as being correct until Saturday
evening when Martin surprised his
wife by appearing at the farm. The
French girl did not appear with him
and he refused to divulgs her where
abouts. A warrant is out for her ar
rest.
There is rumor of still darker
,rime than the above in connection
with the case. County Attorney
