What Effect Will It Have?

OMAHA, Feb. 29.-It is not known
at the office of the United States
district attorney in this city what
effect the bill just passed by con-
gress and in the hands of the presi-
dent will have upon the suits just
brought by the government in this
state on the part Of the Union Pa
cific grant. The impression is that
the bill only extends the time in
which the snits can be brought and
will In no way effect the existing
cases, and Until word to the con-
trary is received from Washington
the suits against the Burlington
will be filed by Monday night. 1t
is understood that II the suits al
ready brought are allowed to go to
trial it will cause q great many
hardships upon the individual un-
less the legal departments of the
Union Pacific and Sioux City & Pa
cific undertake the defense of all
the settlers. Necessarily it will be
necessary for the settlers to have a
lawyer to represent them in court,
mourning much expense and
trouble
