Titusvilie Star: Why Is IL that the state

about 400 900 acres. Most of the United
States land lie now taken up, but the state
has received the tito from the United States
to all the rest or the land in the county. 1t
seems now that the canal company are
claiming all the land that the state has
title TO, in addition to the $50, 900 acres they
already have. That they have q right to hat
they already have is considered doubtful,
but no one for moment believes they have
the least shade W Of claim to aay more
land, and why the state should refuse to
sell the land to would-ne settlers except at
the price put on it by and with the consent
OF the canal company is a conundrum that
great many people are trying to guess.
Perhaps President Denny of the canal COM
pany, or the state land office, can furnish
satisfactory answer.

day. Feb. 2, at 10 a. M, Judge Young was
informed, when the further hearing Of the
case was to begin, that the boy could not be
found. The sheriff was ordered to make
diligont search for Creelman, and if there
was any one concerned in inducing the
boys leaving Mr.. Shields sto arrest them

cations, found out that Lowry had also left
