LAND GRANT SUIT.
State Auditor Dunn Will Try to Recover
Lands Illegally Conveyed.


ST. PAUL, June S0.-The state OF
Minnesota is likely to be involved In
another suit involving the title to
land grant. When the grant was made
by the state to the Little Falls ana Da-
kota railway, now the property OF the
Northern Pacific, ltIrovided that SIX
sections a mile should accrue to the
road whenever it had 3o.mile extern
sion com pleted. This would give the
road about ll5, 900 acres Tor every -
miles OF track completed. Three sec
tions of 80 miles each were built and
one Of q miles, which carried the road
10 its terminus at Morris. Deeds for $50
sections for each 80 miles i, completed
road have been issued, and also for Is.
900 acres for the 27.mile section. The
company owning the road has de.
manded 100, 900 acres more TO complete
its grant. Auditor Dunn holds that it
is not entitled TO any lands whatever
for the 27.mile section, since the deeds
were to issue only when 30.mile Sec
tlons had been completed. He will,
therefore refuse 10 issue any more
deeds and will commence suit to re.
cover the $4,000 acres which have been
irregularly conveyed.
