Capt. strsstsr Of Chicago Has imitAtor

Captain Streeter. the famous squat
ter Of the north shore. has an int
tator In Kansas City. For the Mis-
souri, town. as well as Chicago. has q
shifting water front. as the Missouri
river has an uncanny habit of shift
ing its course frequently, submerging
what has been dry land In the past
and creating real estate where once
there was naught but muddy water
rushing onward to the gulf. In the
channel OF the river. just stones
throw from the foot OF one OF Kansas
City's chief business streets. is an ISL
and OF about 1870 acres. which John H.
Mensing claims to own. His claim dates
from 1857. when he discovered the ISL
and and took up his residence upon It.
Later the government came along
looking for a place TO establish reser-
vations. and decided TO take this.
Mensing resisted. and was driven at
the point OF the bayonet 10 one corner
OF the island. where he erected
stocknde and badc defiance TO the SOL
diers. At that time the island was
much larger. but the Missouri river
seemed TO resent the presence OF the
soldiers as much as did Mensins. and
from that date began TO eat the land
away by slow degrees until only about
three acres remained. But the three
acres were those where Mensing had
erected his stockade. He concluded
tha; Providence was with him. The
soldiers had no further use for tho
island and have been withdrawn. Then
the river began industriously putting
the earth back again. and In duo
course the three acres grew to l5o.
About this time the prospective value
of the land was recognized. and pro-
cecdingS were begun In the interior
department to have the island declared
n public reservation. This action was
defeated. Then came mysterious
corporation called the East Kansas
City Land Company. which tried TO
prove to the Interior department tha;
the tract had been ccded to II long
while ago. The case has Just been
argued. and Il IL confidently predict
cd tina; the decision will be a.ains, the
company. So Mr.. Mcnsins now be-
licycs that he has the hrSt claim. un-
