y The County Courts.

co,,ntv mass meetings have been held
throughout the State to express the
sense Of the people in respect to the
change in! the Virginia judiciary system
which takes place tomorrow, and TO put
on record their appreciation Of the retir-
ing Judges,
It speaks volumes In favor Of the coun-
ty Judges, that there has been an IN
broken chorus of praise for them II
is an unquestionable fact that Virginia
has been we'll served by them. The
change made by the Constitutional Con
vention was because of the unsatistac-
| torfness Of the system; the personnel
was not in question, for, with few ex-
ccptions, the county Judges have been
| nc pular men. AS for "the County
Court" it came to us from colonial DAYS
first as a bench OF justices and then,
in post bcllum times, with man learn
ed in the law to constitute it-and tho
abandonment Of It. in favor OF the no"
Circuit Court system, marks consplcu-
ons epoch in the judiciary history OF the
OLD Dominion.

Territory Land Suit
Railroads Effort to Recover
Each Alternate Section Will
Cloud Many Titles.

Deiison, Texas, Feb. s-What-
ever the outcome of the Missouri
Kansan and Texas Railroad Co. TO
(. recover alternate sections of land
along its right Of way through the
Indian Territory, there is no doubt
but the suit will cloud title to a
great deal Of Indian Territory land.
When the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas Railroad Company was
granted charter through Indian
Territory the charter carried with
it concession. The concession was
to the effect that whenever the
time came that the title Of the lands
of the Cherokees, Creeks, Choc-
taws and Chickasaws should pass
from the Indian tribes, the Miss
ousi, Kansas and Texas Railroad
Company should be entitled to
every alternate section Of land for
ten miles Oh each side Of the right
Of way Of the railroad, extending
from the Kansas line to the Texas
line.
The Missouri, Kansas and Tex
as Railroad Company is now pre-
pairing to file suit to recover this
lands Representives Of TIE railroad
are now at Muskogee compiling
data fran the Official record Of the
Dawes Commission, and when the
data is compild the company will
file its suit against Indian citizens
holding allotments and all persons
who have purchased lands on the
alternate sections Of land in either
Of the four nstions through which
the Katy line passes, The United
States government will be joined
in the suit with the individual land
owners and made party in the
action.
The Chickasha daily express. (Chickasha, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1899-current, 1904-02-04

While lawyers who have made an
investigation into the status Of the
company's claim are inclined to the
belief that the railroad company
cannot take the land away from the
individual Indians who have taken
their allotnents. nor from the white
people who have purchased Indian
lands, at the same time the suit will
probably result i'll so clouding the
titles and complicating land tran
sacdons that it will hinder the
rapid development Of Indian Ter
ritory.
The city of Muskogee, one Of
the best tows in the Southwest, is
located on the alternate section Of
land claimed by the railroad m-
pany. act
Other lawyers contend tie
of Congress giving the railro,s ID
such a claim was illegal and uncon
stitutional, because the Emitted
States Government had no tide to
the land through which the rail-
road passes, neither then nor pros
pective. The treaties with the
Indians all guarantee to the In
dian tribes the possession of their
lands as long as water flows and
grass grows" This is construed
that the Government had passed the
titleto the Indians in perpetuity
and had not given all claim to the
title, but had barred any possibility
of a claim beidg made later by the
Government, therefore, che Cover
meut having. nc title and no possi-
bility Of acquiring one, had no
right TO make any CONCESSION in
the preIni,ses.
