titles have had them allowed by the in
terror department.
"A popularity of the grant to the
state was that all lands were ceded to
which the United States had a valid
title" said Mr.. GODDARD this afternoon.
I'VE can now go ahead and have hear
fngs against these fourteen to see if
their entries are all in proper form. The
shape the matter is in the state cannot
go on with the proposed acceptance right
away.
Fort Hays people would buy of these
fourteen settlers in order to get branch

then, since the bill passed requires that
none of the appropriation shall be avail
able until the attorney general secures
clear title to the whole grant, 1t is not
likely that they will materialize soon.
The fourteen claims cut off nearly 1000
acres from the 1000 thought by the leg
islature to be in the grant. 1t may now
be held up for two years to get the next
legislature to accept what remains or
clear title.
