LEGISLATIVE
A W. Fletcher of Oretown has handed
us the following letter for publication.
It seems that Judge Burnett, in his de­
cision, in the controversy between
Messrs Baxters and the Little Nestiiccu
people, assumed that Baxter bad a right
to charge toll to Agency Creek, or nearly
the wliolt distance across the Indian
Reservation, and considered that Ba iters
had a legal right to the road on the
lands of the agency. It has been sur­
mised however that Judge Burnett did
not fully understand the exact location
of Agency creek, and that his decision
was based on an erroneous idea of its
location. At any rate the following
letter from the Interior Department
seems to show that no toll road legally
exists on the reservation :
