eral Supreme Court

Washington, D. c., April 1O.-Jus-
tice White delivered the opinion of the
United States supreme court yester~
day in the case Of Thomas w. Potter
against Mary Hale, involving claims
to land in Oklahoma territory growing
out of the rush to settle the newly
opened land in 1889. Potter was en-
ployed on an Indian reservation ad-
Joining the land as a police officer
Acting in that capacity he ordered OF
the land on which he afterward locat-
ed, people who had gone upon it prior
to the hour fixed for the stampede
When that hour arrived he joined in
the rush, and as he had only a quarter
of a mile to travel, reached It in ad-
vance of the others
The court held that as he had taken
part in the rush to the coveted land
and had gone upon # from the outside
he was entitled to the prize he won.
The decision of the supreme court Il
Oklahoma which held against Potter,
was reversed. The court affirmed
the opinion Of the supreme court OF
Oklahoma in tho case OF Robert J..
Winebrenner against Edward c. For
ney, which was another sooner" case.

ure of a number of fishing smacls by
United States vessels during the Span
ish war were decided yesterday The
court having previously decided that
