6S2, which contain $40 acres, more or less.
The said lSnd is included in former Swamp
Land District No. 4, organized in 1861, but
under which no reclamation was ever made.
Petitioner desired said land to be set eff from
District No. 4, which comprised originally all
of Tyler Island, and that the same be de-
clared an Independent land district for the
purpose of reclamation. The matter having
been considered By the Board of Supervisors,
the following resolution, offered by Mr..
Beckley, was adopted That the petition OF
Cornelius Cole, heretofore filed with the
Board for the erection of new swamp land
district on Tyler Island, is hereby granted, to
be known as $50 that said Cole and his heirs
ard assigns shall keep the front levee of said
new district, and shall be of sufficient hight
and strength to protect from overflow from
the front all land back of the district hereby
erected, and with further understanding that
any other person or district may use said
levee without cost or charge for the purpose
of joining or becoming part Of any new levee
provided, that such uss shall in no manner
weaken or mutilate the levee or any part Of
it made under this order, or put any costs

street, during the small hours Of Friday
night, as to their respective claims to the Of
fections and right of possession of woman
on l. street. They were unable to arrive al
a decision until Yates had made desperate
effort to reorganize the appearance OF Madi
gan's head and features, and just as he was
nicely getting away wit the Job officer Rider
step2ed in and adjourned the proceedings by
taking the sable hoodlum TO the lookup.
This left the white hoodlum in possession q
the disputed female, and rendered him SO
happy that be forgot Co appear at the Police
Court and prosecute his rival This over.
sight resulted in Yates being discharged from
custody, and his return to the contest, and
unless somebody else steps in aud runs away
with the woman soon, there's o fue prosneet
for an item, aud if the affair should end in g
double headed job for the Coroner, that off
Ger wouldn't be the only one benefited.
