Fred Genrich, district attorney, and
Nj. G. Thorn, chairman of the county
board poor committee, were in Milwau-
kee county last week effectiEg a ssttle
ment of a claim of that county against
the town of Cassel July 18th, 1898,
a man named Oestreich, a resident of
the town of Cassel, became an inmate
of the Milwaukee county poor farm.
Some time after a bill was sent to this
county but was not allowed for the rea-
son that the man belonged to the town
named, and it was moi the cOunty's
duty to pay the claim. The town
officers of Cassel admitted that OeS-
Lreich belonged to that town, and they
were in duty bound to pay the claim.
The bill had run up to about $500 but
Messrs Genrieh and Thorn made a set
tlement for Cassel for 1926, and the
man will be removed to the Marathon
county poor farm.
A case was argued before the United
States Land office in this city on Thurs
day, that is peculiar in its phases. The
government is the plaintiff and Chas.
are unknawn, and the Inland Lake
Lumber CO. of Eagle River, of which
he Coleman Bros are the Incorporate
Ors, are the respondents. and the case
was brought by the government to re-
cover title to certain lands in Villas
Some years ago Bawman took
up homestead in town 40, range 10, !
and after living upon it for some time
made his final settlement but secured |
no patent and made no further effort TO
perfect his title. Later he sold the land |
TO the Inland Lake Lumber Co. the |
latter buying it in good faith and sup
posing that Bawman's title was clear |
Some time after f j. Parke, special |
agent of the government, discovered |
that the homesteader had no title to the |
land in question and filed a complaint |
with the department at Washington, |
and the action followed 1t is conceded |
that the case will be decided in favor of |
the government and that the lumber |
will lose its purchase money.
AS Bawman has left the country the |
will have no redress.
