RECALLS EARLY HISTIRY
With Much interest the Story Of Long
Litigation Over Famous Tract
is Recalled by Old
Timers.

Mary Jane Hood, a descendant of
James Muir, the early Lee county
settler who drew share No. 70 in the
famous land drawing of 1871, died Fri
day afternoon at the Lee county home
Her death removes the last half-breed
Indian of the county and recalls with
considerable interest the almost end
less litigation which had to do with
the half breed track comprising Jeff
erson, Charleston, Van Buren,, Des
Moines. Nontrose and Jackson INSIDE
and outside) townships
This half breed Indian. who was
probably heir tc much of the land now
occupied by white settlers and their
descendants was not laid to rest in
Potter's field but through the generos-
ity of one of the supervisors was Civ
en- final resting place in Hickory
Grove cemetery. She was fifty-eight
years q e and had lived at the coun.
ty home Or twenty-eight years.
Description of Tract
What was known as the half breed
tract of Lee county occupied that por-
ton living between the Des Moines
and Mississippi rivers, and south of
line drawn from point on the Des
Moines river, about one mile below
Pennington, east, touching the lower

acres. The United States In giving
| the half-breeds the title to these lands

4 vented the Indians from selling them;
1 but in 1885 congress passed an act
/ relinquishing TO the half breeds the
reversionary interest of the United
| States, thereby conveying to them a
fee simple title, and the right to sell
aud convey On account of this the
door was open to innumerate frauds
that soon followed, as the right to
sell was not given to individuals by
name, but to the half breeds as a
class. The tract was soon beset with
difficulties about title. and instances

i In 1854 the title TO the nalf breeds
lands was considered as settled by a
Il decree of the district court in this

by tie half breeds and by parties to
whom they had sold it.

Pioneer ClOthiers.

One of the oldest and most eminent
ly successful mercantile institutions in
Maysvile is the clothing, merchant
tailoring and gentlemen's furnishing es-
adjustment of ID. HCchinger & Co. The
business dates its foundation from 1852,
G. Blum being the founder and pro-
prietor until 1860, when the name
Hechinger first became associated with
the clothing business. G.. Blum sub.
sequently retired and a short while ago
died in Baltimore Maryland and until
1888 the firm was known as Hechin-
ger Bros. At this time Ferdinand
Hechinger died. and his interest was
bought from the estate by his brother,
David Hechinger. p. p. Parker after
ward bought an interest in the bust
ness, but disposed of it to d. Hech-
niger at the end Of four years. This
is i'm brief the outline of an institution
which has occupied a prominent posi-
ton with the leading stores of Mays
