cautioned against purchasing of j. Epes Cowan, any
interest in the above named Mines, for the reason
that the rghtful owner of the property, Joseph
Slater is still in possession of the same, and intends
to contend the courts of the county the validity OF
the claim set up by Cowan, who, by some fraudulent
means has succeeded in procuring from the officers
of the Treasury decision in his favor so far as that
Department could determine. Slater claims the fee
simple to the soil, by virtue bona 6da settlement,
use and occupation Of the land long before Cowan
ever saw it, Upon this settlement prescription
was proven, and Slater permitted TO enter the
land at Government price, which he did, and now
holds the receipt of the Receiver of the Land Office
at Jackson, Missouri, for the same. The United
States have parted with the freehold. The question
of title lies between Cowan and Slater, and the
courts alone can determine them.
The undersigned will not notice further than this,
to caution the unwary, the false charges made by the
contemplate J. E. Cowan against him and Slater in
