I« w ls to ti, Id ah o , Aug. 22.— Word
has been reosivud from Washington
that Hte secretary of the Interior has
reversed the commissioner's decision
in the case of Robert J. Little vs. John
W. Bradbury.
This is tha case lu which it waa a l
leged that M r. Bradbury madeand
ttbsl a timla«r and sUmw entry in thn
local land office after tMe hour of clon
ing on the 1 Nth «lay of last January,
which was Saturday.
Monday nmrn-
ieg H. J. McFarland otleied scrip ap
plication lor the same laud «m bnuw sl
in Bradbury's entry; Hie register of
tbe local land offi««e rej«cted tbe ecris
application as tising In con8 id w ltii
tbe entry marie by B«»db«jry. From
this action McFarland took an apfieal
to the commissioner, ami filed sffidarits
that Bradbury's applkatiou was re
ceived alter office hours.

An a|>|**a! was taken to tbe sec retary
of tbu Interior, who now reverses

“ general circular of July 11, 1H99

“ W hile there is no statute forbidding
them so acting, there is no statute
authorising tl.eu. to net. Tbe regula
tions for their conduct not in onntra-
ventn u of statute have all the force of
law. If it is optional with hsal officers
to receive or decline wnpiications, there
is given opportunity for them to exer-
rise favoritism and partiality, which
might lead to grave mischiefs, the in
jury of many, and give occasion for
grave scaixlsls against tbe integrity of
th-- land department.“
The dmdsion is an important one.
in that it finally establl»hos Hte rule
that applications for entry of land
