LAMBETH sTEs sANTA FE.
Brings Action For Government to
Recover Unsold Lands

United States Attorney Lambert has
brought suit in the United States circuit
court against the Santa Fe Railroad
company to- secure land which the COM
pany is holding under a patent from the
government. The suit was brought by
the order OF Attorney General John W.
Griggs- and will probably come up be-
fore the court at the June session in
Leavenworth-
This suit viii IN no way erect the
titles to land held by purchasers from
in the NJ X. e. IT, case which was set
tied By the United States court last
fall
An act OF congress in 1868 gave the
old santa E'e company every odd num-
bered section Of land on each side OF the
road for a distance of ten miles The
law provided that the company was to
be given q patent to the land as fast as
the road was built This was done and
the patents were issued 1t was Impossi-
Bile TO give the company every odd sec
ton in the eastern part Of the state as
great deal Of the land had been taken
up by settlers. 50 the company was
given every odd section on each side Of
the right Of way for a distance Of Twen-
ty miles In the western part Of the state
The government alleges that the COM
pany made false reports and thus Sc
cured sc. 600 acres OF land IN excess Of its
grant. 1t is TO recover part OF this land
that the suit is brought
The land is located mostly in Marion,
Harvey. Reno. Stafford. Pawnee. Hodge
man and Edwards counties A large
part OF it is settled and is owned by the
farmers The remainder amounting to
probably Il, 600 acres is what the govern
ment wants.
In speaking OF the case this morning
Mr.. Lambert said that the suit would
in no way effect the titles to the land
which is now held by settlers. The
courts have decided similar cases before
and always in favor Of the settlers,
said Mr.. Lambert. THE men who hold
titles which given by the company on
the right OF the patent issued to II by
the government need have no fear that
they viii be bothered All the govern
ment wants is the remainder Of the Co.
600 or that part which the company has
not sold. The case against the II K &
last fan settles all cases as far as the
men who purchased land from the COM
pany are concerned Their title is good
and can not be disturbed"

This ended the engagement, and 81,
stunning was the blow Crook had &c
ceived that he advanced 10 further
during the day, and was content to re-
tire and bury his dead and care for his
wounded. Our loss here was 43, in
cluding killed, wounded and missing.
The Federal loss, according to their
own reports, was 20 killed and 1853
wounded. Among tho former was
colonel Monroe, commanding brigade,
who was shot with revolver by Major
Humes within 30 feet OF the latter g
guns.
On the 10th of October Wheeler
crossed the Tennessee Rivar at Mus
sci Shoals in presence of force four
times his OVID, carrying safely over all
OF his captures, and about 5000 re
cruits for his own and other COM
mands.
This ended one Of the most sue ccessful
raids of the war, and in some respects
one of the most remarkable in history.
The command was absent ten days and
in that time travelled about 300 miles,
and we've fighting nearly every hour.
Our entire loss, as shown by official
reports, was 3 officers and 29 privates
killed, IL officers and y3 privates

most touching incident, showing
how one Of them met his last enemy.
In my reference to the Texas Rang
ers do pot wish to be understood as
meaning that they were in any sense
lawlcss dcsperadocs. They were, it is
true, men Of desperate courage, BIZ.
they we're for the most part of excel
lent families, and men or sons of men
of prominence and influence in their
native State. General Hardce allowed
his son to join the Eighth Texas and
he was killed, 1 think, at the battle Of
Rentonvillc.
In one of the several charges made
by this regiment handsome young
trooper fell mortally wounded while
riding near the head Of the column.
No "comrade stood beside him as his
life blood ebbed away" and no priest
was present to shrive his soul. But
as his comrades dashed past him they
heard his voice raised in fervent pray
cr, as he commended his soul to the
God who gave it. The charge was
brilliant and successful one, and the
death Of their comrade was fully
avenged, but there were tears mingled
with the shouts of victory.

OF him left. Naturally enough, my
friends thought it was I, as the horse
was still recognizable, and they had

ing part My sisters were Notified Of
my death and just back of the little
church was grave with hcadstone
bearing an inscription including my
name and date or two. Which was
a good deal more than most soldiers
go. at that time. Of course, didn't
know anything about all this, and
when my work was finished, which
was in about ten days, returned to
camp. I got there about dusk and
headed for 8 tent where we did our
eating, such as it was, and the first
man l met was Jake, our colored boy
who was going into the tent with
bushel basin of soup occupying
Doth his hands.

his heels, and as they looked up in
surprise at the sudden shower Of soup
and the unceremonious entry Of Jake,
they saw me, and with a smethercd
sort of yell, they began tumbling oger
each other, upset the table and the
tent and for the next ten minutes
there was the biamdest mix-up you
ever saw. I couldn'. understand what
it all meant, but l had sense enough
to know that somebody would be hurt

soon, and l took hand at getting

when they found I WASH ia ghost they
grew calmer and began to explain.
That was easy enough, you know,
when things were quieter and we had
puMed Jake cut from the bottom and
restored him to consciousness, for the
darkey had collapsed entirely. You
know, darkies have no use for ghosts.
"They told me the story Of the man

ing it was I, they had buried me aud
had real funeral sermon by preach
er who lived in Marietta. Next day
they showed me the grave, and it made
me feel a little bit queer to look at it,
but wrote to my sisters explaining
that the report of my death was mis-
take, and they wrote me that they had
gone into mourning for me, but I
needn't worry on that ac,ount, as the
black dresses could be trimmed in
colors and still be useful. You see,
they were disposed to have fun with
me when they found I was all right.
What newspapers were in existence

ant things said about me in letters Of
coincidence to the family really made
me quite satisfied that something had
happened to call forth such express
sions."
