Supreme Court decision settles land grant disputes between railroads
The Missouri Kansas and Texas decision, delivered by Justice Field, holds that congressional land grants determine priority in intersecting lines, affecting Minnesota cases between railways. It dismisses Southern Minnesota’s claims against St Paul and Sioux City, notes earlier grants and time limits, and explains implications for Northern Pacific versus St Paul and Pacific. It also discusses route changes and construction dates, with remarks on other interlapping grants and unresolved questions.
