Weighty legal point in land case heard by master in chancery
The case of Chicago Milwaukee and St Paul Railway Company of Montana against Mark W. Woods featured a hearing before Master in Chancery T Crane on a statement of facts to avoid live testimony. The matter centers on the Northern Pacific land grant and whether mineral classifications affect the railway’s title to a right of way in Jefferson County. Judge Hunt’s prior ruling allowed courts to decide the actual mineral status, with implications for public rights and future appeals.
