RIVER MOVED HIS FARM.
A Peculiar Lawsuit For Land In Missouri.
Recently Ended.

Recently Ended.
The latest freak of the treacherous Mis-
souri, river is to remove an entire farm OF
80 acres from Boone county, on the north
side Of the river, to Cole county, on the
south side The farm was owned by Ed
Murphy of Ashland and was originally To-
Gated near the town of Wilton. BY g
change in the current Of the river the land
was cut away ard reformed in Cole coun-
ty, near Marion.
Here George VI. Butcher claimed the
land in dispute by reason that it was land
accrCtcd CT madU to the land he owned OF
The river bank on the Cole county side OF
the river, and as the newly made land adj
vanced out from his original bank his
possession followed and covered the newly
made land; hence his possession was first
or prior in time to that of Muphry. Murphy
brought suit for the land and was recent
~ awarded it.-St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
