A0fmod the Lower Court.
The Supreme Court has given . de.
cision in the case Of A. 81. Risi0n ct
al. Of Huron vs. Ira Davenport Of New
York, affirming the decision Of Judge
Campbell of the Fifth District. The
case involves the title to large NUM-
Der of tracts of land known as the John
ID. Cameron entries, and concerns many
people in the vicinity of Huron.
Frauds were alleged and contests In
stttuted against the entries, the result
being that the entries were cancelled
and the contestants given preference
right to make entry. The tracts were
settled upon and have been held and
cultivated for the past eight or ten
years. The Rislon suit was instituted
to clear the titles Of q cloud upon them
by reason Of Davenport having made
loans upon the tracts, which loans were
never paid, and to recover payment
foreclosed the mortgages. Judge
Campbell's decision was that the mort
cages should be paid and the land was
security for such payment, notwith-
standing the cancellation of the entries
or the fact that final proof was irregu-
larly or fraudulently made. This de-
cision has been sustained by the higher
court, but whether or not there are
come provisions remains to be seen.
There are thirty or more tracts in the
immediate vicinity of Huron affected
by the decision, but the holders of
them appear not to be at all disturbed,
and will take advantage of any loop.

OF the cloud to title.

taken to prevent any such plot from
being carried out. The fire depart
