ACQUIRED CITY LAND
Perkins and SsdsrIOf Have Titles
to Sections Bought by
Old Council.

Through almost eight years Of SOM
nambulism on the part of each sue
ceeding city council since $780, Salt
Lake has so relinQuished its title or
claim to large tract Of land IN Emil
grafton canyon, for which the taXpay-
ers paid 1850, it is doubtful whether
possession can ever be regained. If
the courts should ever restore the land
to the city. and il viii require d legal
fight to again secure il, the city at
tOrney and the members of the public
grounds committee are not so certain
but that damage suits might accrue
therefrOm.
Some seven or eight years ago the
city paid $4,000 for the squatters
rights 20 two tracts Of land in Emil
grafton canyon. The deal was effected
for the purpose OF getting the squatters
out of the canyon and acquiring what
ever water rights they had. After the
deal had been contaminated the very
people from whom the land was pur-
chased were permitted TO return to it
under prOtectory rights.
From that time the city has not
taken a single step to prove up its
squatters' claims. 1t permitted Walter
X. Perkins and William Sederlof to re-
main on the land undisturbed. After a
certain length of time had elapsed they
secured patents TO the land the very
acreage which the city had bought
from them for the purpose of getting
them OF OF IT,. Perkins patent is Gated
December Is, 1896; that of SederlOf Oc-
tOber 20, 1897.
Not only did those two men secure
patents 10 the acreage In question. but
Forced the state to appraise and offer
for sale land adjoining that which was
supposed TO belong to the city. Per
kins and SedeTlOf bought a number of
acres adjoining their patented land for
$l.Zo per acre. The result is that today
they have title to almost two fIlI sec

enter a protest and seek a reclamation
of the land
The situation is such a complicated
and delicate one that CITY Attorney
Nye last evening told the public
grounds committee that he would have
to look into the matter further before

take TO recover its land. And he added
further that if the attempt to secure

straightforward Evidence from Men

when a nan OF national prominence

the increasing prominence and IN

Peruna is Of national fame as a catarrh

Of all these organs, because two-thirds
of the ills Of mankind are due to ca
