Swamp Land Litigation.

Hon. T. R. Foster, special counsel
for the state in the case of A. H.
Saunders and W. E. Williams vs.
Amelia Stamps, state of Mississippi
intervenor, and H. C. Williams VS..
John Smith, state Of Mississippi
intervenor, has taken an appeal to
the Secretary of War from the recent
decision of the government land Office
at Washington, and briefs in the two
cases were forwarded to the national
capital today.
The chief point involved in these
two suits is the right Of entry to
swamp lands in the delta under the
act of congress passed in 1850.
While the lands specifically involv-
ed in the two suits are worth only
few thousand dollars the prinei-
pie is one that is of much Importance,
