MANY HOMES SAVED.

Decision Against tho Northern Pacific in

Boise, Ida, Nov. l5.-Some time ago
9 suit was brought by the Northern
Pacific railroad to eject about 800 set.
tiers In Northern Idaho who had settled
upon lands which the road claimed
under its grant from the government.
This land embraces several hundred
thousand acres and is situated in the
Kootenai country. When the govern
ment made the grant to the road it in.
cluded every alternate section for 40
miles back from the line Of the road,
excluding the land held as Indian res.
ervations. When the Indians oeded
large portion Of their reservation to the
government the road claimed this. and
under the grant the case was brought
before United States Judge Beatty, who
decided that the land belonged to the
government and that the settlers were
entitled to possession. The attorneys
for the road appealed to the circuit
court, which has just dismissed the
appeal. This action saves the homes Of
hundreds Of Idaho settlers as no further
appeal will be taken,

Warden Hale instructed not to carry
out the execution of Durrant until

argued fora stay Of proceedings for
their client upon the grounds that no

the matter Of Durrant's appealing from
the decision Of the federal court had yet
been received; that the superior court
had acted too hastily in sentencing
Durrant to be hanged Friday as the law
required that he be given at least 60
days grace, and, thirdly, that the PEN
denoy Of an appeal in the supreme court
affecting the condemned was Of itself
sufficient cause for a stay Of execution.
The matter was partially argued in
