Matt Chichak has finally been declared
the legal owner Of the land. A few
years before the commencement of
the prolonged litigation, Chichak pur-
chased the land and supposed he had
a good title. But it developed that he
had nothing more than a tax title, and
another man put in a claim TO the
farm. Chichak, rather than have a
lawsuit, offered to pay the claimant
what h farm was worth at that
time, but this offer was rejected. and
after considerable further sparring the
case was carried into court in 1887,
where it remained steadily until a few

undisputed owner. Chicllak has re-
sided on the LAND during the "a years
