Dap-' In tlie UuileJ States circuit court utv United States Marsha! Hopkiu3;erJay Jitdse Deady delivered an and hia assistant have returned to . opinion in the case of. the Oregonian this citv from the Winnebago and'KaHway company ilitnitedj vs. the' Sioux reservation, whither they went Oregon ltailway and Navigation com to look up claims and hunt criminals. I pnny. This was - an action bronglit The relate a remarkaUle experience with the rush of people, ho went there hv the hundreds to claim those lauds as soon as the president at tached his signature to the document which opened these lands for settle ment. The reservation, lie says, rntmirisps fhp lwmf Innrl in Dnlrntn. having been selected bv the Imiiau -.i... ..- ,..w vv.. .HH.. ... -......., agents years ago. They are on the east side of the Missouri river, and those portions opened for settlement are bounUed on the north by Pierre, and on the south bv Chamberlain. The area of the district opened for settlement includes twentv-six town ships, with thirty six miles to each township, and WU acres in a mile. According to the homestead law, ev ery head of a family, whether an able bodied man or a servant girl, and every male over 2G years of age, lias a right to pre-empt 160 acres o land. Five minutes after the time, on Friday afternoon, when pres ident Arthur signed the executive or der opening the lands to settlement, the fact was known in Chamberlain, and as soon as one man crossed the reservation line with a load of lum der thousands of others in waiting followed him. All the hired girls in the hotels were in the front ranks. Not a barber-shop was open. Nearly all the business men, except the hotel and saloon keepers, were in the anx ious and excited crowd. Teams and wagons were employed to haul set tlers at S2o per day in advance. Those who preferred town lots em ployed a lawyer, who laid out a town site opposite Chamberlain. During Friday night the erection of 100 houses was commenced, and the town is being rapidly built. Masy of the houses are already occupied by families. The prospect is that much litigation aud bloodshed will be the result of the excitemout. The agent of the Chicago, Milwaukee aud St. Paul railroad filed warrants in the name of his company to a large por tion of the land contained in the res ervations and now settled upon. The Indians are unfriendly to the settlers and are encouraged by the Indian agents, who in many instances drive settlers away. Until a reg istration office is open oa the reser vation the settlers will not leave their claims, fearing that they would be jumped it they did so. The Indian agents refuse to register until they receive formal notice from the gov ernment that the land has been thrown open to settlement. In many cases the settlers were unable to find the corners of the sections, and when surveys were made ft was found, in many cases, that cabins some distance apart were really on the same section. Then the question arose who settled here first, and the man who displayed the most formidable "Winchester rifle or navy revolver generally induced the other fellow to believe that he dii.. The work of erecting shanties on the claims progresses night and day. Sev eral law suits have been entered where more than one have taken pos session. People from abroad did not Beem to anticipate the rush, for those who arrived at Chamberlain Wednes day found that every inch of the land had been pre-empted. The trains go ing to Chamberlain consisted of sev eral sleepera and passenger coaches, jammed full of poor fellows who labored under the delusion that they had only to visit the reservation and stay on it over night to acquire pos session of 160 acres. Agent Gassman received orders from the-interior de partment not to allow the Indians to interfere with the settlers, but there is bad blood existing and trouble is feared at any time. The O. It. i, N. Jr.w Yohk, March 18.- Tire desira bility of giving up the present man agement is again being actively dis cussed by Oregon Railway and Navi gation stockholders in Boston. Two suggestions find supporters. One is that the road be leased to the North ern Pacific alone; the other that it be leased to the Northern Pacific and the Union Pacific jointly. Those active ly favoring the dual lease by the Northern and Union Pacific include niauv of the 0. 11. &N. directors; also Vm. Endicott, holder of 25.000 shares of Oregon Railway and Navigation. President Adam3 is reported favorable to the arrangement. Smaller Boston holders of Oregon Railway aud Navi gation argue that the Union Pacific should be included iu the arrange ment, because one Boston property should help another wherever possi ble, in order to further the general in terests of the city.

Judge Deady. decided that the defendaut, having contracted with the plaintiff as the! Oregoniau Railway company limited ) for a lease of its railway was estopped j to deny its corporate existence or its; power to make such lease, and also that defendant had power to take the lease, and in so doing it was not acting contray to any law of Oregon or the public policy of the state. Judgment was therefore given for plaintiff against defendant for SGS, 131, rent for six months, together with legal interest from the loth of May last and costs and disburse ments. The Oregoniau Railway company (limited) yesterday brought a second action for the rent due in November. ISSl.viz.: $5S,131. Another action for the same amount will be brought on the loth of Mav next. A suit in equity for $50,000- being the 0. 15. & N. Co's contribution to the Oreco- uian company's sinking fnnd- will be brought forthwith. There is also pending an equity suit, the object of which is to cause theO.R&N .Co.to make good its extensive dilapidations 1 on tlie narrow gauge, estimated at 1.0,000 to 5200,000. All of these snitsaud actions depend upon the vauuny oi tne lease, wnicu as es tablished by the decision of the United St aha court yesterday. There are besides, we understand, actions by individual bondholders and share holders of the Oregoniau Company (as expressly covenanted in the lease) against the O. R.N. Sc Co. for their shares respectively of the rents iu de fault over and alxive the actions of the Oregonion Company as a corpora tion. Tlie Oregonian Company more over intends to sue the 0. 11. & N. Co. for damages for operating the railroad in a manner contrary to the covenants of the lease, whereby the natural trafiic of the road has been impeded and sacrificed and public convenience hindered. The amount due by the O. R. fc N. Co. uuder the lease ever wear is oS,G00 -nearly $200,000 which will be sued for regularly year by year.- -Ui'ego nian, 19th. A firemau, Mr. Samuel W. Dixon, writes from Baraboo Station, C. & N. W. Railway, Wiscensin: I was thrown to the ground, hurting my back badly. Ry the use of St. Jacobs Oil I was cured and was able to go to work. I have been hurt a great deal, but this remedy takes the lead of all I have ever used. T will always be an advocate of it." It cost $43,000 to repair tho damage by the dynamite explosion in the parliament buildings at Loudon, and $190,000 was expended during the year upon extra police for that city.
