POSSIBLE TROUBLE FOR RcHIoAcoAHs
People la Texas Who Claim Title to SO
600. 900 Worth ofthe Town.

SAN ANTONIO, Ten, December IL
A very important legal case has come
to light in this dity, in which the right
and title TO large portion OF the city
of Chicago, in the vicinity OF Hennepin
Park. is questioned and claimed by
heirs in Texas. Robert l.. Summerlin,
an attorney in this city, has worked up
the case, and has fixed upon the heirs
to the property as follows: Bruno and
IIoratio burst, of Leon county; John
burst, of Tyler: j. w. Blake and Hat
tie Moss, of Limestone county; John ID.
burst, of Kimball county: Simon and
Ella Bateman, of Leon county; j. a.
and Louis Hodkins, of Dallas county,
and Jas. I...Iron.
The history dates back to the time
when the Pottawatomie Indians owned
the present site of Chicago. A Colonel
Holiday, stationed at FIT. Dearborn,
married an old chiefs daughter, who
was possessed of much OF this land.
This Indian wife survived long enough
TO will the property to granddaughter,
wife of Colonel y. GuiSette, proml-
nent banker of Corpus Christi. This
heir died In lsGl without issue. This
property had been in the hands of the
attorneys, who, during the late war,
tangled the titles and sold the property
for taxes. Recently, however. At
torney Summerlin learned Of
another branch of the family, and has
located the heirs as above. The chain
of evidence is perfect, and already at
torneys in Chicago have been heard
from who are willing to compromise lib
orally for clients. Mr.. Summerlin is
armed with full powers of attorney from
every heir, and he viii leave December
% for Chicago to push the claim of his
clients. This property is very valuable
and will approach nearly $4,000, 1000.
The story is quite romantic in its de-
tails, and it has taken more than a
years work to complete the chain Of
avi1pupp
