The Great Dent Suit Decided.
The st. Louis Times says:

About two years ago the Times contained
full history of the facts in the great eject
ment suit brought by General Dent to re-
cover possession of $50 srpents OF land in
the CarOndelet commons, which be claimed
under the Cerre land grant of 1889, but
which was afterward granted by the gov
ernment to the city of Carondelet. The
tract is now closely built up, aud is worth
about half a million dollars. 1t was a re-
fusal to confirm General Dents title that
brought Land Commissioner Wilson's head
TO the block. The case has finally worked
its way to the Supreme Court of the United
States, and yesterday Britton A. Hill re-
ceived dispatch informing him that judg
ment had been rendered against Dent, aud
in favor of Catherine Graham, Julius PITT
man, A. Kehr, Calvin +. Burnes and the
other defendants. Thousands of persons
will be relieved of their apprehensions by
this decision of one of the causes celebres Of
American jurisprudence.
