AMICABLY ADJUSTED.
Northern Pacific and Manitoba Settle
Land Suits.


Milwaukee, Special.-The three hits
Instituted by Receivers Payne, Oaks
and Rous against the ST. Paul, Mime
apolis d Manitoba Railway company,
growing out of the dispute over land
grants in the State of Minnesota have
been amicably settled, and an order Of
dismissal will be entered in d few
days. In the settlement the Northern
Pacific receives secure 75,845.3S acres
OF valuable land, all in Minnesota, and
$S9,O0O in cash. Most important of all,
however, is the assurance that set
tiers who have purchased land in good
faith from the Manitoba company are
not to be disturbed in their possession,
but, instead, the two companies are to
join in making the titles good and
binding. The Manitoba company takes
SO, 593. Is acres of land and $4,000 in
cash.
The three suits grew out of the land
grants made by congress to the North
ern Pacific and the grants made subs
sequently to the State of Minnesota
and to the st. Paul, Minneapolis &
Manitoba company. The lands were
patented by the United States after
the grant to the Northern Pacific. The
grants to the state and to the ManitO-
ba company, made subsequently, en-
croached upon the one made to the
Northern Pacific company, but no ac-
ton was taken until fourteen years
elapsed, when the first suit was
brought. The delay raised several
nice points Of law, and in consideration
of which the compromise was reached.

Indians Who Commit OHenses Can't
Be Tried, Says Bum
Madison, Wis, Special.-Lizzie De-
monte, a young half-breed from Lac de
Flambeau, was before the federal
court charged with assault with in
tent to kill two Indians, and her case
brought up an important oversight in
federal laws. The assault was COM
mitted at a dance Aug. %, when she
had been drinking heavily, and where
she stabbed two Indian policemen.
After spending 115 days in jail here
Judge Bum dismissed her case on a
motion of want of jurisdiction. Con-
gress in 1885 passed a law to provide
punishment for assault committed by
Indians on a reservation, but left it to
the other statutes to settle in what
courts and in what manner the offense
should be tried Upon investigation
it was found that there is no other
statute which contains this provision,
and the court was without juriSdic-
ton. The decision is one of national
importance.
