ISLAND STILL IN NEBRASKA.
Meanderings of Old Muddy Cannot
Take 1t Away.

WASHINGTON-The supreme court
of the United States decided the boun-
| Diary case between the states of Mis-
souri, and Nebraska in favor OF the
state of Nebraska The case involved
the question as to whether a change
Of the course of the Missouri river
had the effect of changing land which
had heretofore been on the west side
Of the river, to the east side of the
river, from the jurisdiction of Ne
braska to the jurisdiction Of Missouri,
but the court held that it did not. The
opinion was by Justice Harlan, hold
ing that the boundary must remain in
fore the change.
The tract of land that caused the
controversy is known as McKissick' S
island, lying between Nemaha county,
Nebraska, and Atchison county, Mis-
souri,. The controversy originated in
1867 Previous to that year the is
land was regarded as indisputably in
Nebraska. The river at that point was
in the shape of an OK yoke, and on
the night of July Of that year the
water broke across the land lying in
one of the bends, thus throwing the
land on the east, instead of the west
side, of the river. The claim was
made by the Nebraska authorities that
this was made by the digging of a
ditch.
In his opinion Justice Harlan eX-
pressed his opinion admitting that con-
gress had not intended by its act ad-
mitting Missouri into the union to
change the established rule and make
the varying channels of the Missouri
river the western boundary of that
state.
Missouri" he added, docs not dis
pute the fact that when Nebraska was
admitted into the union the body Of
land described in the present record
as McKissick's s island. or Island pre-
cinct, was in Nebraska. 1t is equally
clear that these lands did not cease
to be within the limits of Nebraska
by reason of the subject avulsion."
The final decree is postponed pre-
pared for thirty days to allow the Mis-
ouri and Nebraska authorities to
agree as to the location of the center
of the old channel
