cides Against the Railroad Company.

the fact that the forfeited land grant

road company was overlapped TO
some extent by lands claimed
under government grant by the South
ern Pacific. The Atlantic and Pacific
Railroad Co, originally claimed the
lands in controversy and its original
maps Of location along the line of these
lands were accepted by the land Office
but congress declared the lands for
feited and thereupon the South
ern Pacific, whose grant overlapped
that of the Atlantic and Pacific there
upon set up title TO the lands Tho
circuit court, however, decided against
the Southern Pacific and the supreme
court Monday affirmed that decision
so far as concerns the railway company
but remanded to the lower court for
decision the cases of about 200 persons
who had purchased part of the lands
from the railroad company.
The supreme court Monday advanced
the argument Of the Durrant murder
