JUDGE LEWIS WILL ESTABLISH
NEW PRECEDENT IN
OPINION.
AFFECTING COAL LANDS
GOVERNMENT MAY RECOVER
DAMAGES FROM OLD
COAL FRAUDS.

Denyer.-Far reaching in its effect
because it will set a precedent that
may affect coal land obtained fraudu-
lently as far back as forty years will
be the decision of Judge Robert Z.
Lewis on the motion which was ar
gued before him in the United States
Court to strike out the amended COM
plant filed by the government in its
suit against Gen. d. c. Dodge and the
estate of the late Gen. w. ]. Palmer
of Colorado Springs seeking to recov-
er damages of more than half mil
lion dollars for the value of coal land
in Carbon county, Utah, alleged to
have been obtained through fraud by
Gen. Dodge and Gen. Palmer.
The question to be decided is wheth-
er the government has right to re-
cover damages from original pro-
curers of coal land, alleged to have
been fraudulently secured, after the
land has been sold to others. without
seeking to affect the titles of the par
ties who purchased it by cancellation
of the original patents. The coal land
involved in the case was conveyed by
the defendants to the Denver & Rio
Grande Railroad Company. The gov
ernment does not seek to cancel the
patents which are now invested in the
railroad company. Barred from doing
SO by the statute of Limitation 1t seeks
indemnity covering the value OF the
land on the ground of fraud. The de-
tense contends that the adjudication
of the patents by the Land Depart
ment when title was given to the de-
PENDANTS foreclosed the government
and 1t could not now come and claim
damages after the land had been sold
to an admittedly innocent third party
and after 1t affirmed the transfer of
patents to the third party.
Mr.. Waterman maintained that the
case did not decide the issue in dis
pute in the case at bar. In the case
at bar the land department had issued
the patents after the usual proceed
ings had satisfied itself that the appli-
cations were legally entitled to the
patents and its adjudication barred the
government from now coming in and
asking damages when it was prevent
ed from seeking cancellation of the
patents.
Judge Lewis decision will be ap-
pealed to the United States Supreme
Court, whatever its context is. and a
precedent set that either will bar the
government from starting other ac-
tions OF the same nature and, perhaps
recovering millions of dollars in dam
ages where the statute OF limitations
prevents 1t from bringing suit to can
Gel patents. If the decision sustains
the government, 1t can recover dam
ages for the value OF coal lands proven
to have been fraudulently obtained Is.
25. or 40 years ago.
In passing on the motion argued yes
terday Judge Lewis will decide wheth-
er the government has a right to file
the action for damages. He will not
pass on the question Of whether fraud
had been committed or what damages
should be allowed. The suit has not
come to trial and consequently no evil
dence has been introduced to support
the charges OF fraud. II he strikes out
the amended complaint he will sustain
the defense's contention that the gov
ernment has been foreclosed.
