cent flood a houseboat occupied by
the Gamachee family was left
stranded on the river Des Peres
bank, near the foot of Utah street
Since then the husband has been lying

claiming the land endeavored to have
the houseboat removed, but Mrs.
Gamachee met the movers yesterday
with a revolver, and, declaring that
the land whcreon the houseboat
rested was left by accretions from
the river and was government land
she laid claim to it. The movers re
tired. Mrs Gamachee said she ha,
found that the land is not recorded
as belonging to any one.
