MIR. John Peoples, of Lawrenceville, claims
to have obtained evidence upon the strength
OF which he can begin suit for the posses
sion of tract of land of considerable value
lying within the boundaries OF Mckeesport.
He claims that his cousin, Samuel Edmund
son, who owned much of the territory on
which a portion of that city now stands,
decided some of the land to certain heirs, but
that the land to which he now proposes to
lay claim was not mentioned in the bequests
referred to. He therefore insists that Ihe
Edmundson heirs should have it. The prop
