Armed Men Seize a: Tract of Park Land
I and Defy Chicago Police.
CHICAGO, May 2S. Chicago was in
vaded at / clock by the army of hos
tile state numbering 10 men-the dis
trict Of Lake Michigan. - The invasion
ended in farce comedy, but came near
to being finished in deadly earnest.
The casualties include one boy shot in
the leg and one horse killed. Five of
the invaders We're arrested and the bal
ance were allowed to escape. / -
The trouble was precipitated by Cap.
tain George w. @..Streeter, who has
claimed tract of about 1856 acres on
the shore of Lake Michigan adjoining
Lincoln park, which consists almost
entirely of made land, under the title Of
the ''District of Lake Michigan. He
sent force of 10 men to the spot, but
did not go himself. The little army
threw up entrenchments, prepared for
the defense in true military style and
defied the authorities. . The chief Of po-
lice collected a force of about 800 Off
GERS, but before an attack could be made
eight of the defenders ran away and
the remaining five surrendered uncon-
ditionally. I -.
William H. Niles; "Military Gov
ernor of the District of Lake Michi-
GAM and the four members of his
''arny of invasion" captured were
formally charged with violations of the
laws of the state of Illinois, the ordi-
nances of the city of Chicago and the
ordinance of Lincoln park. The pris-
oners made no effort to secure bail dur
ing the day, but announced their inten-
tons of making vigorous defense in
court. It is understood they will al
lege lack Of jurisdiction of the state
courts over the "District of Lake Mich
igan," and rely on this as means to
escape punishment.
