ISLANDS IN THE HARBOR.
Title VIII Not Be Further Contested
by the state.

The state of Washington has concluded
not TO appeal the two cases of William r.
Brawley and others against the board OF
state land commissioners and the late
board of tide land appraisers of King
county, and yesterday caused a stipula-
ton TO be signed by Assistant Attorney
General Haight not 10 appeal the same.
but 10 abide by the decree of perpetual in
junction entered in the superior court be-
fore Judge Langley May =.
William R. Brawley. d. {. Brawley and
George Kinnear are the owners of the
three large islands at the head of Elliott
bay. holding them under patents from the
United States government issued some
thrty-two years ago Notwithstanding
these patents the tide land appraisers had
the islands plated into lots and blocks,
claiming them as tide lands belonging 10
the state, and were in the act OF filing the
plats preparatory 10 offering them Tor
sale as ordinary tide lands.
Suit was brought in the superior court
TO enjoin the filing of these plats or any
plats of these islands and 10 prevent the
state from meddling with them in any
way. The cases were on trial Tor three
days before Judge Langley. and were hot
ly contested. the assistant attorney general
appearing in behalf of the state and John
r. kinnear and r. NJ. Kinnear attorneys
for the plaintiffs. The court decided that
the plaintiffs were the owners in fee OF
these lands, and that the state had no
right to plat or interfere with them IN
any way. and signed decree perpetually
enjoining the board of state land apprals-
ers from filing these or any plats and for
bidding any further interference with the
islands on the part of the state. This de-
cree will now stand, and the state has
given UP all claims to the three islands.
The settlement of these cases Will go
far toward a solution of the tide land
complications in Elliott bay, because the
islands carry the right to purchase large
tract of tide lands lying round about
them and running long distances into the
bay.
What promised TO be long contested
suit is now at an end, and the settlement
and adjustment of the Seattle tide lands
controversies in Elliott bay will be far
less difficult.
The same disposition will no doubt be
made of the case of the Ladd tide land
cases tried at the same time as the Braw-
ley cases.

DON'T FORGET THE P.-I. CONCERT.
First Regiment Band Will Discourse
sweet Music Again Tomorrow.

There will be music on Cherry street
Saturday night. In fact, there will be a
Cherry street ring" but it will be the
ring of joyous music, and everybody is
asked to come out and hear il. Prof
Wagner's First Regiment band will give
another concert in front OF the Post-Intel-
ligencer office, providing that the weather
clerk is in good humor and will keep the
strings tied on his rain bag.
The Post-Intelligencer would like to have
every one drop the cares of the week and
spend at least a few minutes listening to
the strains of The Post-Intellgencer
March" or some other number on the pro-
gramme. They will all be good. Every
body knows that. because everybody
knows the First Regiment band OF course
there isn't room on the street for all the
population of Seattle at the same time
but the crowd will be constantly chang
ing, and thus there will be room for every
one.
Besides listening to the music, there will
he many interesting things to see the
Front and Second street stores will be IL
Illuminated. and special attention will he
paid to the window displays. A walk up
one street and down the other will do you
good: you will see things that you don't
get time 10 see during the week: and the
crowd itself. including many pretty wo-
mon and prosperous looking men,

The colored people of Clarks
