Kansas as assignee of the heirs or

the department. that the land in con
troversy was never part of the mis-

District Supreme Court in refusing
an injunction to restrain former Sec

cision of the general land office was

The courts opinion goes back to the
earthquake of November 10. 1912, and
to the act of Congress of February IT.
1915, which allowed any person whose
lands had been materially Injured
thereby to locate the like quantity
of land on any public lands of the
Missouri territory. Pursuant to this
act, Samuel Ware. in 1923. made a
