 Some ten days ago Barney Sherry died suddenly. He kept a saloon and had spare piece of ground adjoining the same. Like all lots in the annex to Congress camp those claimed by Sherry were squatted upon, the squat- ters remaining in possession so long as nothing came up to change owner ship. It seems the town site is on a mineral grant and the titles of the squatters are, of course, not claar, even though they build upon the squatted lots. Sherry had grabbed two lots and would no doubt have re- mained in possession of the vacant lot had he lived. Upon the death of Sherry townsman saw his opportun- ity, fenced the vacant lot in and now claims possession. The estate of Sherry is in the probate court and what the court vii ldo is a question Jacob Marks, liquor dealer of Prescott qualified as special administrator ot the Sherry estate on Saturday. It may be assumed that in a general sense the grant will have to be seg- grhgated and present occupants give1 squatters' rights. In order to reach the desired end an attoney will nc doubt find lucrative fee from some fifty occupants of the Congress an nex town site, when they arrive al some understanding, but how the jumper of the Sherry lot will come out will probably be settled before the attorney in fact unravels the mat ter of division for all squaaters.
