In his speech here Saturday Gov.
Davis freely attacked several promi-

last the Governor singled out one Of

and break his neck, and will see that

BOTH CLAIMANTS BEATEN.

Mensing Island Held to Belong to the
Government.
An important decision was rendered
by the register and receiver of the To-
ca. United States land Office at Boon
vile, involving the title to q 80 acre
tract Of land within the city limits OF
Kansas City, Mo. and known as Men
sing island. This land was formerly
an island. but has by accretions be-
come Joined to the mainland. The
tract is very valuable, by reason of
location and valuable improvements
thereon. The contending parties are
the heirs OF John II. Mensing, whose
claim rests upon the rights acquired
by settlement in 1858, and alleged &C.
cupancy since that time. Adverse to
these claimants appear the American
National Bank. the Ferd Helm Brew
ing Company ct al. Of Kansas City.
who assert that the island did not
exist at the time Of the admission OF
the State into the Union, and who
deny that blensing occupied the land
and also impeach the good faith of
his application to enter same under
homestead laws. The decision rem
dered holds that the island existed at
the admission of the State; that Men
sing settled on the same in 1858, but
that he has not resided thereon and
occupied the same ever since; that his
attempted EN- y was specu alive and
not In good faith. The decision vir-
tually holds the land to belong to the
government, and that none of the con-
tending PARTIES have any right thereto.
