Fairnont, November 13.-The su-
preme court has handed down its
decision in the case or Kelly against

which cause was a direct result OF
the case OF Ferdinand Wolters
against the Armstrong Telephone
coplpany In which Mr.. Wolters re-
ceiyed q Verdict of eight thousand

VOTERS secured an execution on
this Judgment and had 1t delivered
to Sheriff Carver, commanding MIN
to seize that part OF the telephone
system which was located in Martin
county and sell 1t to the highest
bidder for cash.
Kelly, a subscriber of this COM
pany, commenced an action against
the sheriff and the Armstrong Tele.
phone company and had an inJunc-
ton issued restraining the sherif
from levying, claiming that If the
sheriff seized ana sold the telephone
system, il would cut of his tele-,
phone service and ruin his business
also would affect many other sub
scribers In Martin county, who are
absolutely dependent upon the Arm
strong Telephone company for their
telephone services.

Preus, Hilton Halt
Suit Against State
Federal Government Action viii
Recover Swamp Land Tract
.-. Averted
Hy HARRY c. STEVENS


Washington, Eoy. 11..-Goyernor
]. A. o. Freus aud Attorney General
Clifford A. Hilton today averted
temporarily at least, the institution
of a suit by the federal government
against the state Of Minnesota, IN
which the government would at
tempt to recover title to a large
area Of swamp land.
The land formerly was included in
Indian reservations. It amounts to
about 10000 acres and is valued at
several million dollars. Title was
passed to the state many years ago
and the state has transferred IL TO
numerous settlers.
The interior department has ruled
on several occasions that the grant
to the state was valid, but the In
dian bureau of the department has
patented illegally to the state.
'rhe arguments OF Gov
and Attorney General Hilton were
submitted to Attorney General Harry
M. Daugherty and Solicitor General
William H. Beck. The solicitor gem
eral had decided to ask permission
from the supreme corrt-Monday TO
file an original suit to recover title
to these lands. AS result or todays
argument, Mr.. Dangherty agreed to
postpone action IL he found that the
statute of limitations had not run
against the government, or institu-.
don Of the suit could be postponed
without jeopardizing the govern
ment's supposed rights.
Governor Preus said tonight that
he believed the suit would not be
commenced earlier than December,
in which time briefs viii be filed by
the state against the institution OF
the suit, and by the department in
support Of its contention that the
suit should be commenced.
1.-THE title has been passed to the
State Of Minnesota" said Governor
Preus and the state in turn has sold
1t to settlers, who believe their title
is clear. The settlers have bought 1t
on time, and have been given years
to pay for the holdings. The suit
contemplated by the interior de-
partment and the Department oil
Justice would impair the titles given
the settlers, and would keep large
sums of money from the state treas
ury for an indefinite period"
Governor Preus and Attorney Gen.
eral Hilton left for home tonight.

interfere with the directors of the
telephone company or with the
sheriff when nc vas about to take
the system into his possession.
The supreme court held that Kelly
who claims that he Is dependent on
telephone service of the Armstrong
Telephone company IN his business,
has no interest In the property of
the company and therefore has no
right of action. THIS means that
sheriff Carver will go to Truman
and take the telephone system in
his possession and sell it, piece by
piece IL necessary. If the patrons of
this line experience any hiconyeni-
ence through this act they cannot
blame Mr.. Wolter as he has done all
that he could to collect his judg-
ment in such a way that 1t would
not interfere with their service.
