uated in Cases inlet. A few days ag
Ambrose L. Pickett entered suit in
the United States land Office at Seat
tie, contesting the homestead claim of
r. P. Irwin to the ITO acres of land.
Pickett claimed that Irwin had aban-
doned the land. The charge of per-
Jury brought against Pickett in the
Justice court is on this account. r.
win AYERS he did no. abandon the
claim. Pickett claims that Irwin
sold the land before it had been proved
up on, and in this way it was aban-
doned.
Last winter A. L. Pickett and r. P.
Irwin were partners in the logging
business. At the end of the season
when they settled up $50 or $50 was
due Pickett, which his partner refused
to pay. Pickett brought suit against
Irwin but did not recover. This made
Pickett angry, and when IRWIN went
to make proof on his land Pickett ap-
peared against him as before stated.
After this Ir1in at once paid up the
old debt and endeavored to straighten
matters up but could not. The land
involved is the best in the townsite
and includes the wharf. Pickett has
retained Messrs. Palmer, Wickersham
and Bogart as his attorneys. Mr..
Wickersham this morning told News
reporter that counter suit will be
brought against Irwin charging him
with perjury, and another suit will be
brought against Irwin and several
members of the Detroit land syndi-
cate for $4,000 damages on the
grounds of conspiracy and false i'm
prisonment. AS the case now stands
no land can be sold in this part of the
townsite of Detroit for several months.
