A Suit Involving S4O0.GOO.

PROMINENT MEN AND THEIR HEIRS AS DEFENDANTS.
Papers have been served in a suit involving I60
acres in the heart OF superior City, Wis The land
is valued at 100000 and is covered with costly
Improvements. The suit is a remarkable one in
that the defendants number many men OF national
repute or their heirs. The title in dispute dates
back to 1855, when spectators pre-empted the
lands by using half-breed Chippewas as dummy
residents TO obtain government titles. These men
conveyed the property twice, the second purcha-
ser, however, recording his conveyance first. The
present litigation is to determine the strength OF
these respective titles. In those early days when
white men and half-breeds We're driving their
practices a syndicate was formed dividing their
estate, actual and prospective, into 26 shares,
and the heirs OF the members of this syndicate
are now involved in the litigation. Among the
shareholders were stephen A. Douglass ana John
C. Breckenridge who ran against Lincoln for the
presidency; X. NJ. I. Hunter, a member OF Jeffer-
Davis cabinet; Robert j. Walker, Secretary OF
State under Polk; Jesse ID. Bright, eX-United
States Senator from Indiana; Congressman ii. NJ.

TWELVE MEN DROWNED IN THE RECENT GALES.
The first definite information in regard to the
loss of life and damage on the Chesapeake Bay by
the storm Of Thursday night was brought to Bal
timore Saturday by Capt. Veazey, OF the steamer
EnOch Pratt. He reports that the storm was very
severe and that just as he was entering the
Mackin river, off Piney island, he saw two bugeyes
in the middle OF the bay at the mercy OF the
storm. They continued TO labor for some time,
when they suddenly capszcd, and all hands were
drowned, with the exception OF the captain OF one
OF the bugeyes, who succeeded in getting into one
OF the small boats. 1t is not definitely known how
many were on board each boat, but it is supposed
about five. Capt. VeaZey also reports that on
Thursday afternoon at 4 o'clock In the Honga
river bugeye and a sloOp were capsiZed, two of
the hands being drowned, the others succeeding
in getting to shore. 1t is probable that as the bay
steamers begin to arrive in port other disasters
VIII be reported, as 1t Is known that a number Of
oyster vessels were caught in the gale.
