Crawford, Kansas' war gov ernor, is recognized by experts everywhere as one of the most reliable authorities on land grants and affairs, in the United States. Mr. Crawford, discussing the M. K. T.

case and Governor Hoch, said: "That land grant was made by congress In 1866 to the state of Kansas, ia trust for a railroad through the Indian Territory to Red River. "It embraced the odd numbered sections of public lands on each side of said road, for a distance of ten miles, with the usual provision fcr selecting indemnity lands within an additional ten mile limit at the date of this grant there were no public lands in the Indian territory. They had all been previously sold and conveyed by patent to. the several tribes of Indians, through whose lands the road runs. There were no public lands within twenty miles of the line of this road in the Indian Territory, and consequently no land to which said grant can attach.

Most of the lands have been allotted and patented to the Indians, but after said allotments were made, some. of the tribes still had a large surplus of unallotted lands. "Should the government purchase these surplus lands from the Indians and extinguish the Indian title in such way as to make them public lands, then, and not till then will there be lands In the Territory subject to the railroad grant. "But in anticipation of some of these surplus lands becoming public lands, the railroad company seeks tD have the courts pass upon the grant. "The state of Kansas has no interest In the matter one way or the "other.

It is simply a trustee and I do not see how the governor could have done otherwise than permit the bene3eiaries of the grant to establish their right3, if they have rights in the courts. "I think Governor Hoch did exactly right, because the sooner the question is permanently settled the better it will be for all concern," been a stalwart Republican and his party will doubtless reward him with call and examine them thoroughly. Examine it arid you will buy no other! the nomination. Silver Gram Co. I 0 0 3 DC DtniMnAa Fred Mellies had quite a serious run-away Saturday afternoon.
