taw will lie compelled to come to some
sort of terms with the Indians them-
selves for a right of way through thair
lands. The Indiana say that they have
aa much right to ilrmand and collect
damages from a railroad as a white

their damage* in advance and not wait
until the rails are laid, tor fear the
