Garland Opinion on Winnebago Reservation Lands
Attorney General Garland outlines that Winnebago and Crow Creek lands on the east bank of the Missouri were protected by treaty and not part of public domain. He argues executive orders and later actions cannot nullify this protection and that the 1838 treaty ceded lands remain under treaty terms for the tribes involved.

Land Office Commissioner Revokes Railroad Terminal Limit Order
Commissioner Sparks of the general land office revokes the March 20 1885 order fixing the terminal limit of land withdrawal for the Northern Pacific railroad. He says the earlier action favored railroad purchasers over settlers, and the secretary of the interior confirms no change to fixed mathematical limits. About 126000 acres changed hands, two thirds patented to settlers. Strawberries in Indians suffer little from the winter.
