OWNERS OF LAKE BEDS.
Who Owns the Milwaukee Lake Bed Near
WentWorth-Fin Decisions of
=. the Land Department.

States Attorney r. L. Soper who was
employed as an attorney in the lake bed
controversy Of Wentworth parties, has
received the following information from
the Interior de- artment at Washington,
ID. G., under date CT September 9Th.
which will doubtless prove final in the
adjudication of the question IT, this
county: 4
In reply to your letter dated July @,
1894, Ishlve to state that beds of mean
dered lakes or lands uncovered by the
recession of the waters of such lakes,
since the survey and disposition OF the
adjoining shore lands, are not under ex-
lsting laws, subject to survey and dis
posal by the United States for the rea-
son that they belong to the adjacent
land owners.
See United States supreme court de-
cision in case of Hardin We. Jordan, lao
q. S.; 81.
For your further information I will
add that under date of March II, 1894,
the Hon. Secretary of the Interior re-
turned the papers to this Office in the
matter OF the appeal OF Sophia Polchow,
ct al, by their attorney, A. B. Hager,
from the decision Of this Office, denying
their petition for the survey OF what is
known as Long lake in twp. 103 and 104,
range 81 west, South Dakota, and in the
body OF his decision the following Ian
gnage is used:
"Said petition sets out that since the
land around this lake bed had been
settled upon and cultivated, the water
has been gradually drying up, until the
lake or lake bed has become dry and will
never again fill up with water. Tt is
accompanied by eight applications, be-
ing those OF the several appellants, TO
enter the land in question under the
homestead law when it shall have been
surveyed.
The decision appealed from recites
that lots bordering upon Long lake have
been entered under the general land
laws and disposed of by the government
in accordance with the official plat and
holds that any lands which may exist
within the area.of saldlake as represent
ed upon the official plat are not subject
to survey and disposal by the United
States, for the reason that they belong
to the adjacent land owners, citing the
decision OF tue supreme court In the case
of Hardin VS.. Jordan, 140 II. s., 81.
The appeal AYERS that the lake was never
nayigable at any time. The case cited
is ample authority for yourofiice decision
ard is binding upon the Department in
cases of this character.
Following the rule laid down by the
supreme court, / must hold that the
government is with out jurisdiction TO
survey and dispose Of the land in this
lake bed. See case OF John P. Hoel, ID
T. D., 5s8."

Breckenridge declared it so as to save a
scandal and Mrs. Blackburn's self-re~pect
that Madeline might die out of her life
without that excellent lady knowing what
sort of woman she had been entertaining
The preponderance of testimony was in

verdict.
Breckenridge will never pay the money,
probably He cannot unless his wife sup.
plies the money, and she will hardly do it.
There IS no truth in the story that she will
apply for divorce. She stands stanchly
by her husband, as do all his friends, here

whole mess of guilt into public notice-as
she stated herself-that he might suffer as

made things serene, but Breckenridge and
