LAND TITLE PERFECTED.
Commissioners Decide That Property
Belongs to Residents.

Vicksburg, Miss, Feb. 2O.-By a rul.
ing of the commissioner of the general
land office at Washington the titles to
ninety-eight acres Of land adjacent to
this city have been perfected in parties
who have occupied the tract for many
years.
For a quarter Of a century this tract
appeared on the records as section q.
Recently it was discovered that the
records were erroneous, that in reality
it was section 20. When this fact was
brought to the attention of the board
Of supervisors that body authorized
custer proceedings against the occu-
pants of the land on the ground that
section 20 was school lands.
The matter was carried to Washing
ton, and the commissioners decision
oyerruling the board of supervisors
was received here tonight.
The only effect of the error in tn
records was to place the real section
instead of 20 to the credit of schoC
lands Therefore the land office ruled
that it made no material difference,
that the schools had gotten all they
were entitled to.

Estate Absolutely.

Chicago, Feb. 10. Mrs. Wilson Miz-
ner, formerly Mrs. Charles T. Yerkes,
who married Mr.. Miner one month
after the death Of the traction promoter,
will waive all claim to the Yerkes
property under the terms of the will
and insist upon her dover rights in
stead. Information to this effect was
given out today and declared to be un-
impeachable
The will Of her millionaire husband
gave to Mrs. Miner only s2O0, 900 in
cash, the homestead for life and life
interest in one-half the estate ts7 ,00O,-
600 after certain bequests had been
made.
If she insists upon her dover rights
she will receive one-third of the entire
estate absolutely. This will give her
almost Immediately $3,OOO,OOO in cash
and $1,000, 600 in real estate, which will
not be affected by the terms of the will.
Her yearly income on S70O0,000 at 4
per cent would be $3.50, 900, so that she
must live seventeen years before this
sum would add up 5000 600, and then
she would have no estate to bequeath.
