dition to Elk PoInt. Mr. Woodside
while engaged in making abstracts dis.

above mentioned. BY careful search by
various interested parties the startling
facts were unsarthed that property hold.
crs in that addition had no title to their
lots, and could not deed with safety. nor
even hold the property ii Mr.. Wilson
should die and HE his heirs lay claim.
This Tell like . bombsbell among those
who purchased lots in that part of the
city. As was natural they began to urge
the party from whom they purchased to
make good their titles. Mr.. Wilson ia
innocent of the mistake, - it was made
BY Col. Olmstead, who surveyed and
plated the addition. But Mr.. WILSON
owes It to those who have purchased
land of him to rsctify the mistake. The
cost of getting . new survey and correct
field notes 10 very small, while if the
matter 10 left defective our people are
liable to encounter trouble some day in
transferring their property. The trouble
is tue direct outgrowth of incorrect field
notss furnished by Col. Olmstead in
plating the addition. Siuce then Mr..
WILSON has decided the lots AZ lying in
his addition to the city Of Elk Poiut,
when il. fact the records do not show the
description or existance ofany such land
But it 10 not too late to make good the
titles Of our people in that addition. and
Mr.. WILSON cannot escape the duty or
expense Of correcting what IL now . very
fatal error. Some Of tho best residences
in the city stand in that addition. be-
sides the school house and Episcopal
Church. and VI do not wonder at the
people rising up and demanding a rscti.
flying Of a mistake that might suddenly
take from them their homes. We trust
that Mr.. Wixson may cause no delay in
the matter. but like . man defend the
