ARGUE SWAMP
LAND CASE
endeayor to Prevent Suit BY Fed
eral Government for Return
of 10000 Acres.

Washington-In order to prevent, IL
possible, a suit by the federal govern
ment against the state o. Minnesota
for the return Of more than 200, 900
acres Of so-called swamp lands. Attor.
ney General Hilton and two of his as
sistants appeared before the getting
secretary Of the interior to present
the states position.
Under a grant made March IL. 1860.
approximately 100000 acres Of swamp
lands belonging to the Indians were
oeded to the state. Nearly 200. 900
acres Of these lands have been pa
tented and opened for settlement by
claims that much Of this land should
not by right have gone to the state
Of Minnesota. The big question is as
to what was properly swamp land.
The state of Minnesota claims that
the grant to the state is legal without
authorities desire to avoid any suit II
possible.
Mr.. Hilton, together with A. F. Pratt
and C. A. Christopherson, assistant at
torney general, argued the states case
before Edward c. Finey, acting sec
ertary of the interior. 1t will be up
to the secretary of the interior to de-
termine whether or not suit is to be
brought against the state. The value
of the lands in question is said to be
several million dollars.
