been removed and grated on, the child

TO SETTLE Ownership.
Strife for Possession of Blackbird Is
land, in Missouri River.


Onawa. Jan 2.-The strife over the
ownership of Blackbird island, situated
in the Missouri river west of Maple
Landing, Iowa. and at present adJoin-
ing the Nebraska main land, bids fair
to be settled now by the entry OF the
island at the Des Moines. Iowa, lana
office by David Forsyth. who last Week
at Des Moines filed on same in the
United States land office and is no"
considered the legal owner.
When the Omaha reservation was es-
tablished in Nebraska. Blackbird Is
land was separated from the Nebraska
shore by the main channel of the Nils
souri, river and was not included III
the Indian lands. Later by freak at
the kind for which the big muddy is
noted. the channel of the river chang
ed, and went over TO the Iowa side.
leaving the island to all appearances
in Nebraska and the adjoining reser-
Walton. Altho the island is claimed
by the state of Iowa. several squattefs
have been on the island at different
times and claimed ownership. but moth
ing was done to perfect their title until
lately. when Mr.. George Philips had the
land surveyed by the county surveyor
of Monona county. r. s. Fessendel,
and visited Des Moines to file on same,
at the government land Office. While
getting his paper ready. 1t is claimed
that Mr.. David Forsyth stole march
on him and succeeded in filing ahead
of Philips.
The government land on the island
proper is only about $50 acres. which
lis mostly good tillable land, but there
are over $500 acres of accretions which
virtually go with the island and make
1t more or less valuable for farming
purposes. Mr.. Fessenden says the is
land must have been In existence a
great many years, as there are ash,
trees there over Foot in diameter.
The island looks at present as tho
III was part of the reservation. but
was never allotted to the Indians and
the Nebraska authorities do not claim
Jurisdiction over It. 1t will now rank
with Holman's Island. which was cus
off when the Missouri cut across the

One day this week a man walked into

carefully but let out no hint as to It's

the gun for SIS but the man said he
