PITTsBURG, Aug. I7.--A number of
Pittsburg,rs of good social and business
standing are about to lay claim to a
large section of indianapolis. Their
claim is that 100 acres of land, on which
now stands Indiana's capital building,
the post office, courthouse, large bust
ness blocks and several fashionable club
houses, was pre-empted in 1880 by Rich
ard Bishop, but was allowed to slip
from him through neglect. The land
alone is said to be worth $4,000, 900, and
Bishops heirs think they can convince
the present occupants that it will be
wise to compromise, rather than go to
law.
