Railway to Pay for Burnt Trees in Black Hills Case
United States sued the Missouri River and Northwestern railroad for trespass on the Black Hills national forest.

The $12 per acre claim for young growth was allowed, with total damages about $3,728.89. The ruling outlines yield tables to estimate future crop value and notes European practice uses this method in selling, condemning, or insuring forest land.
