Railroad Loses Its Case Over Federal Right of Way
The U S Supreme Court ruled against Thomas Doughty in a dispute with the Minneapolis Saint Paul and Sault Ste. Marie Railway, clarifying when the federal statute granting railroads a free right of way on public lands takes effect. Doughty built on a North Dakota homestead after the railroad map was approved on June 17, 1902, and after construction began, he sued for damages. The North Dakota court had awarded $1,100, and the state supreme court affirmed, holding occupation upon construction as the valid act. The federal high court yesterday affirmed that ruling in a decision written by Justice McKenna.

Supreme Court Rules Against Joint Landowners in Wiese v Wrich
The United States Supreme Court ruled yesterday against the Missouri Valley Land Company and Town Railroad Land Company in two cases arising from a land sale by one of two owners. The decision upholds the Nebraska Supreme Court view that when one tenant conveys an entire estate and the grantee holds exclusive possession, the other co owner’s title is adverse. Justice Whitley notes the ruling aligns with established grant rules governing both main and branch matters.

Canary That Can Talk in New Brunswick Tale
In a Boston Transcript clipping from August, Prof. Underwood hears a talking canary owned by a New Brunswick driver’s aunt. The bird spoke softly during sweeping, saying phrases like Rise my sweet Becky and Kiss me dear. The canary, eight years old, reportedly learned to talk by accident, not by breeding, and only talks when a broom sweeps the floor, a quirk observed during a visit to the Pierce Building in Boston.
