Ekay- A mrch-needed bill has been intro
duced into the house of the general as
sembly, being that Of Mr.. Merritt Of
Marion, to quiet the title TO property
where records of same were destroyed by
the late fire in Chicago. The speedy pas
sage Of this law will relieve many honest
property owners Of great deal Of unneces-
snry annoyance, anxiety and expense, and
cannot fail to take q vast amount of bust
ness out of the hands OF legal shysters and
land sharks. The bill provides that any
party having any interest or claim in
property whose records have been destroy
ed, or any number of them, may file
their bill in equity, in the nature Of q bill
to quiet title, in any court Of any jurisdic-
ton in such locality, to establish the same.
1t is required to describe property and
make all or any of the persons in adverse
interest parties to the suit. On a hearing
Of such cause, any papers or evidence
primary, secondary or presumptive, in
however remote degree, in full, in brief, or
abstract, shall be admissible. DEGREES in
such cases shall be final and conclusive
after reasonable time from the making
thereof and publication of same in a news
paper in the locality; and an order Of the
court finding shall be sufficient, final and
conclusive except for fraud shown.

Before the fire had reached the bank

to the crowded condition Of the streets,
soon lost sight Of him. Being overtaken
by the fire, Mr. Tinkham had several
narrow escapes from being su'located'
and al last, being driven 20 the lake, ste

and was taken around to the Milwaukee
