The work in the oil fields was not
prolific of anything of an interesting
or sensational nature and was quiet in
the extreme. The only well drilled
in of any importance was that Of the
Elk Fork Oil & Gas Company, on the
Catherine F'ulmer, which is a big
gasser with a slight showing Of oil.
About the only other well due was the
Hill Oil Company's No. on the J. K
Hill 100-acre lease, and yesterday after
noon it has not yet been drilled in,
and probably will not be until some
time to-day.
Some of the locations for wells dur
ing the week were Nichols & Barns
Gall on the T. G. Hawkins, Beyers &
Caldwell and the Fisher Oil Company
on the l. n. Hawkins: the South Penn

Isle Indians on Franklin field by the
score of 20 to 10. The red men kicked
two goals from the field in the first
half, while the red and blue scored two
touch-downs from which no goals re-
suited. In the second half, however,
the Indians did not get within 80 yards
OF Pennsylvania goal except on
kicks, and ther Pennsylvania would
rush the ball down the field. Prince
ton had scored Is points against the
Indians without having their line cross
ed, while Yales score was a to the red
men.
The Indians used the Princeton re-
volving wedge play for occasional gains,
but they could make but little impress
sion on Pennsylvania line and would
invariably resort to kicking. There was
bad fumbling by the Quakers, Outland
and Weeks being the chief offenders.
For the visitors B. Pierce Iand McFar-

the Southern Pacific Railroad against the
United States, involving the ownership of
over 200, 600 acres of land known as the
Atlantic and Pacific forfeited lands.
The case was brought bafpre the United
States Supreme Court on appeal from the
United States Circuit Court of Appeals
for the Ninth Circuit. The land involvel
is in Southern California, and the United
States claimed the title to it, alleging that
the Atlantic and Pacific Compan in Cali
fornia had not implied with the condi-
tions and requirements made in the
grant of 1856 and which grant was for
feited in 1856 The further QUESTION was
raised whether having been s, forfeit ted
to the United States AMI restored to the
public domain they were subject to be
taken by the Southern Pacific Railway
Company by a grant made later, tecn
nicaliy known as ''iunior grant" The
Court of Appeals decided unanimously in
favor of the United States. The decree OF
the Circuit Court for the Southern D.s-
trict of California was 20 the same effect
and gave the Government jud gment for
ali the lands sued for, they being en-
braced in the following two classes:

The Government, by the act of Con-
gress of 1891, set as ds the greater part OF
the lands 'iorest reservation for
