Washington, Aug. 3.-Commissionec
Hermann Of the general land Office, in
The homestead entry contest Of Jehn II.
Mensing for valuable land now within
the corporate limits Of Kansas City, Mo,
but formerly an island in the Missouri
river, has decided III favor of the Mensinc
heirs permitting their entry for all lant
within the old Mcandcr boundary lines
Of the island. The land is ordered to b.
relotted for this purpose. The remaiado,
Of the island, as il now exists, consisting
Of the accretinns, will he reoffered for
public entry. The land has an appraised
value Of 81 1000 an acre, and 131 acres
were in dispute.
The former island is not shown in the
plates of survey made of the land Oh
the Missouri side OF the river in 1929,
but a survey made 30 years later showed
the island to consist of almost 80 acres.
The island was for nine years a military
reservation and was turned over to the
interior department in 1854. In 1895 it
was discovered that the island as such
existed no longer. but by accretion has
been considerably enlarged and attached
to the mainland. Mensing settled on and
cultivated the island in 1853 and for
years had sought to secure the island as
a bona fde actual settler under the gen
eral land laws.
