A UNIQUE CLAIMANT.
 
CAPT. sTREETER KNOCKING AT
 THE DOOR OF CONGRESS.
Wants to Be Recognized as a Delegate from His "Strip" Along Chi
 cago's Lake Front.

WASHINGTON, Mar. 11.-Captain .-perhaps he should be called Repre- entative-George w. Stereeter is here. clamoring for recognition as del agate from the District of Lake Mich igan. he having been duly elected in November last by the fifteen voters residing in that budding common wealth. Of course, he does not really expect to be seated but he is deter mined to advertise his cause thor oughly.
 Few people have heard of the Dis trict of Lake Michigan. and those regarding is as a joke, q myth, a regarding it as a joke, a myth. a mirage. It is none of these, but a most unpleasant fact to number of property owners in Chicago, whose titles to property are clouded by Cap tain Streeter's cla i'm of squatter sov- ereignty.
 The story of the territory of Lake Michigan is an interesting one, al though it is not recorded in the school histories Briefly it is this: Captain Streeter in his younger days was a bold navigator who crossed the raging waters of Lake Michigan in a bark called the Reutan. One day in June, 1886, while the Reutan was making for a Chicago dock, there came a great storm and the little craft was tossed upon the foaming pillows and finally stranded in the sand a short distance north of where the Chicago
 river empties it's maloSroEs waters
 into the lake. Captain Streeter has ] lived where his vessel from that day to this and he alleges that continued Washings from the lake, as we'll as dumpings on the land side. have connected the former island to the mainland of illinois and added some hundred acres of valuable land to the lake front
 This he claims as his personal property. although it has also been claimed and occupied by the city and by hundreds of other people. who de rive title from the owners of the ad- joining shore under ~the riparian rights. The. ownership has been fought through the Interior Depart ment here Tor many years, being al ways decided against Captain Street CT, until few years ago. Land Com missioner Lamoreux startled Chicago by declaring that some $20,000,00 worth of land and buildings really be- longed to Captain Streeter and not to those in whom the State of Illinois had recognized title The decision was so outrageous that it was prompt ly reversed by the Secretary of the Interior and Commissioner Lamor- eux's resignation was demanded. A year ago Captain Streeter organ lzed posse and set up military gov ernment at his camp, which he de- fended with a Gatling gum Then

ing afr and Mrs. Lipscomb went to their future home at Plum Bayou and enjoyed a luncheon, after which they returned to England to secure parent al forgiveness.
 The most amusing and exciting part of the elopement occurred just before the marriage Mr. Lipseomb went to the home of the brides parents, where, on back porch, the young lady had seereted her clothes. Nj. .lipscomb was to steal them and deliver them to his wife-to-be. He grabbed the bundle and ran towards a gate. A small bull dog, the property of MT Frazier. had entered the bundle Of clothes to enjoy nap. When the animal found himself being "kidnap- ed, it objected and then the tug of War began. Mr. Lipscomb finally choked the dog into a state of insen- sibility and escaped unhurt
 MT. Lipscomb is quite well known in this city and county. He was a candidate for Assessor of Jefferson county before the primaries two years ago.
