MR.. LITTLE WANTS RED HOOK LANE.

Joseph W. Little. q tea dealer at 30 Butler

legal heirs to all the property which was orig
inaliy included in Red Hook lane, which now
extends but a single block between Fulton and
Livingston streets, but which in the early days
OF the city ran as far Henry street. The
value Of the old Red Hook lane property to-day
runs away up into the millions, and II Mr. Little
and his fellow heirs were To recover IL each
would be very wealthy.
John Van Dyke was the biggest man in
Brooklyn in the middle OF the last century
The whole OF Red Hook lane IVES Included IN

Hook lane. The grant was duly recorded. and a
copy Of the original Is now In the possession OF
Dyke. Other. relatives Of Mr.. Little are scat
tered over the country. and the heirs, IL n
thought. will number hundred or more.
Lawyer Charles J. Patterson says that the
present holders OF the property have no reason
to feel disturbed over the matter. They have"
he said, clear titles by adverse possession
They cannot be regarded as squatters for they
hold deeds which have been recorded for more
than twenty years. the time required by law.
Only the nrst people to build on the lane could
have been removed as squAtters."

ment by electricity Of children with weak
muscles, DIR. King said he had seen peevish fret
full children become quiet by the proper appli-
cation of electricity. One p-year-old boy whose
muscles were weak in his right foot, had thirty
