Judge HanfOrd of the Federal Court
SO Decides In the Habeas Corpus
Case of Antoine MisheI. Now In
Jail In This City-Land Has Been
Restored to the Public Domain.

Seattle. Feb. 1.-The doubt hitherto en-
isting as to whether criminal cases arising
In what is known as the north half of
the Colville Indian reservation, in this
state, came under federal OF state juris-
diction, has been settled by United States
District Judge Hanford, who ordered An
tone AIishel, an Indian accused Of assault.
ing another Indian released on writ of
habeas corpus and turned over to the
sheriff of Stevens county.
The decision is of great importance to
Stevens county. The department of the
interior recently notified the county of
ficials that the north half of the reserva-
tion was still reservation, notwithstand-
ing the fact that it was open to mineral
entry. and that they had no control
over it.
Judge Hanford holds that the land in
volved has been restored to the public do
main, and the federal authorities have no
jurisdiction over it.
Mishel is now in Jail at Spokane for as
sault with intent to commit murder. The
Judge ordered that the accused be held
five days, that the authorities of Stevens
county might, if desired, proceed against
the prisoner.

ADVERSE TO HENRY CORBETT.
Report of the Senate Committee on
n Claim 10 OregOn's Seat.

Washington, Jan. 2s.--The report Of the
majority of the senate committee on priv
ileges and elections Ia .he Corbett case
has been presented to the senate by Sena-
tor Gallery. The commissioner recon-
mended that Mr.. Corbett be not given n
seat in the senate. The Oregon legisla-
ture, the report says, deliberately refused
to perform any OF the functions with
which it was charged, one of the most i'm
portant being the election of a successor
to Senator Mitchell, and the preccdents
are against the seating of an appointee
when the legislature has had an opportu-
nifty to elect. Senator Pettus concurred
in the report of the majority, but files n
separate view.
Senator Hoar presented the minority
report, sstaining Corbett's claim to seat.
