TEST U. P. LAND RIGHTS
Supreme Court To Decide on Case
From Saline County.

HTOAh ShiliS NOuhtJs
Rights of the Union Pacific Railway
company to hold land granted under
the old act OF congress is being tested
in the state supreme court. The test
case came to the supreme court today
from the Salina county district court,
which had given the railroad company
judgment under the original grant.
Under the old congressional grant
the railroad was given a 400 foot right
of way on either side of it's tracks. In
many cases farmers have extended
their line fences and encroached upon
the holdings OF the company. Out in
Saline county the railroad brought
suit against Johanna Veltman for re-
covery of land said to have been seized
by Neltman. The court gave the rail-
road company judgment and Veltman
has appealed to the supreme court.
