TITLE TO WISCONSIN POINT.

Secretary Hoke Smith Decides I'm
portant West Superior Land Case.
WEST SUPERIOR, Wis, Sept. 2S.-Secre-
rotary Hoke Smith has just rendered an
important decision settling the title to
Wisconsin Point. It was entered by
Joseph Brillen in 1858 and subscq uently
was conveyed to other parties before the
patent was issued. The War Depart
ment, perceiving it a good point for
military post, detained the issuance
of a patent for many years, during
which time many persons at
tempted to take up homesteads on
it. Senator Villas, when secretary
confirmed Brillen's entry, but Smith
came in before the patent was issued.
The decision to-day confirms the
decision of Villas and places the title on
those claimingit under Brillen's entry.
John Bardon, brother Of James Bar
don, who has held undisputed posses
sion of the land as homesteader for a
ong time is thus ousted.
