MAY RECOVER LANDS.
About $20,000,000 Worth in Colorado May Come Back.
Denver, Colo., June 6.—Through a decision handed down today in the Yampa anthracite lands case by Federal Judge Lewis, it is thought that the government may recover land worth $20,000,000. The judge held that although the lands, which the government is now seeking to recover through equity suits were once involved in criminal cases, in which the defendants were discharged, the results of these trials do not enter into the present proceedings.
It is said that the government will file additional suits against a large number of Colorado corporations for the recovery of large tracts of coal lands.
