NORTHERN PACIFIC TERMINUS,
Decided by the Supreme Court to Be
Ashland and Not Duluth.

In opinions handed down yesterday the
United States Supreme Court decided that
Ashland, Wis, and not Duluth, Mimi, is
the eastern terminus Of the Northern Pa
cif1c Railway Company. The principal of
these cases was that of Doherty against
the Northern Pacific Railroad Company.
Doherty resides in Douglas county, Wis
consin, residing on tract of land acquired
by him in 1882 under the homestead law.
The Northern Pacific Railroad Company
constructed its road across this land, claim
ing right of way under its cession by Con-
gress in 1854. Doherty commended that the
railway company definitely located its east
ern terminus at Duluth in 1872 by the pur-
chase of an interest in the Lake Superior
and Mississippi Railroad Company from
thomson Junction to Duluth, but the Wis
consin state suprems court refused to &C
cept this view, and the opinion handed
down Yesterday affirmed that opinion. 1t
was, therefore. held that the railroad had
right of way under the original act over
lands in Wisconsin.
