rights of the tribe to take possession of
the "filled-1n" land along the lake front
of Chicago.
The Pottawottamies claim the land
under an old government grant, and in
present case their claims, in a measure,
overlap those of Captain Streeton, who
has taken so-called possession through
right of discovery.
