owners OF Mills, Montgomery and Adams
counties, together with large number of
financial institutions and persons inter.
ested in the lands.
The suits are brought by the Govern
ment to cancel land grants made to the
Burlington route in 1856 and 1864. The
grants attacked comprise $4,000 acres and
settlers and owners are made o party to
the suits, although they purchased the
land of the railroads. The grounds for
the action relate to the adjustment of the
land grant claims law of 1887. 1t is al

ented prior TO the transfer OF the railroad.
Several pieces of town property are az
fected and none of the land can be bought
for less than $50 an acre.

three counties named are somewhat affect
ed, as well as thousands of acres along the
