Government Sues to Cancel Osage Rail Land Patents
The United States seeks to annul patents issued to a railroad company for Osage lands in Kansas arguing the patents were issued without authority of law. The case centers on the 1825 Osage treaty, the 1865 treaty proclaimed 1867, and the 1863 land grant act. The government alleges the land remained Osage and not covered by railroad grants. a large settler presence complicates the dispute. The court dismissed no action and will decide the legal questions, with the attorney general urging patent cancellation.
