THE OWNERSHIP OF BEAVER LAKE
A Suit to Decide the States Title to Man,
Thousands Of Acres.

The Attorney general has just filed in the
Supreme Court brief in the case of the State
of Indiana against the Portsmouth Savings
Bank. The suit is one of considerable import
ance to the State as it involves the value of
about twenty thousand acres of land situated in
Jasper and Newton counties, once the bed of
Beaver Lake. The lake was located
five miles south of the Kankakee river,
and at the time of its survey, in 1853, it's
dimensions were about five miles north and
south anPseven and half miles east and west.
The water was from ten to fifteen feet Deep and
was navgable. By an act of Congress approved
in September, 1850 the State was granted all
aries, which includes the lands from which
waters recede. Soon after the enactment of
this law the State began draining Beaver lake
by ditch sixteen feet wide, extending to the
Kankakee river. The current through
it increased its width to fifty
feet deep. In this way over 10000 acres of land
were drained Anticipating it's value, j. P.
Dunn, Auditor of State, and AMI 3. Condit,
purchased from the State for a small sum all
the land bordering on the lake. Soon afterward
Dunn became financially embarrassed, through
an indebtedness to the State in his official
capacity, and his interest in the Beaver lake
lands was bought at sheriff's sale, in 1885, by
Michael G. Bright. who proceeded on the strength
of his title to the border lands. to plat the bed
of Beaver Lake into forty acre lots. The title
to the land has been in litigation ever since, and
the question was once decided in the federal
court by Judge Gresham adversely to the State,
but Attorney general Hord believes that the
States right to the land will be sustained by the
Supreme Court. The suit against the Ports
mouth Savings Bank is simply a test case, but it
concerns large number of persons, who now
occupy the Beaver Lake lands.

The succession of AIyra Clark Gaines bids

two wills were offered for probate, each
purporting to be her last will and tcsta-
ment The first one fled bore date Jan
uary Sth, and was Us follows:
l, Myra Clark Gaines. being of sound mind,
bcqUeIth to my excellent friend, Mrs. Juliet
tn Perkins, as token ot my esteem and
love, that part Ofmy estate known Is the
Fueutes property, and to my friend Mrs.
Marie l.. Evans, third OF the remainder
oi my entire estate, the balance 20 be equal
iy divided between my gran .tchIldren. ap-
point Mrs. Marie l.. Evans my teStamentnry
tXecutriX ami detainer ol my entire estate
without bond
This document appears to be in the
handwriting of Mrs. Gaines, and is ac-
companied by letter dated Washington,
last August, in which the deceased writes
Mrs. Evans, offering her ouc-third of her
estate and appointing hcr cXeCutriX AID
Ietainer without bond.
The other will is fled by William H.
Wilder, an old friend of the deceased,
and James L. Christmas, who are therein
admcd testamentary executors without
bond The will is dated January 5th,
and after directing the payment of just
debts, bequeathS TO Mrs. Virginia Davis,
1T whose house she died, tract of 500
acres of land on Plaqucmine BruSle, St.
Landry Parish; to her daughter, Mrs.
Whitney, and sOn-in-law, Christmas, and
their heirs, she gives Sl00, 900 each, to-
gcther with all real AMI personal proper
ty not otherwise devised.
The other bequests are as follows:
Edmund PendlctOn Gaines, son of her late
husband, S25, 200; George Benson, Mari
eta, Ga; Rev. John Harmon, of MiSsis-
Sippi, and her god-child Myra Mazerat,
$4,000 each. This will revOkes all pre-
viouS ones, and bears the names OF five
witnesses To the tcStatOr'S mark, she be-
in9 too i'll to si.n her name. The attor-
ncys for the parties TO the last mentioned
will have filed an objection to the pro-
batting of the first one, alleging it Is not
genuine, Mrs. Gaines being too i'll the
day before her death to have written the
document, as evidenced by her inability
to merely sign her name three days pre-
viOus. They therefore ask that it be
thrown out SO the case stands at.
present The matter will soOI come up
tor decision before Judge Houston.
