NO MANS LAND
IN MISSISSIPPI
Valuable Island Has no Owner and
Belongs to no State at the
Present Time.

Wolf Island, valuable tract of land
in the Mississippi river between
Kentucky and Missouri, may be mo
mans land
In response to an inquiry sent out
several days ago by officials of the
United States land Office in Spring
field law firm of Charleston, Mo-, to
which the communication was re-
ferred by the recorder of Mississippi
county has advised the local govern
ment land officials that the island did
not belong to Missouri, but was the
property of Kentucky There were
no records, according to the writer, to
show ownership of the land by this
state
The officials of the land office some
time ago received word from the de-
nartment of the interior that this land
had been coded to Missouri after an
investigation in 1857 by an engineer
from the interior department. The Of
ficials of the department are attempt
ing to clear up the titles to the Land
which have been filed with the gov
eminent through various land offices
of the state
The investigation which opened the
question as to the ownership of the
island was brought about recently by
a desire on the part of the officials to
correct a mistake which had been
made in the recording Of a claim for
a tract of land on the island by Ben
jamin Woodruff in 1897. A plat of the
island was found in the records of ,-e
Office here, but an attempt to find the
heirs of Woodruff resulted in a reply
from Charleston, the former location
of one of the government land offices,
that the island is the property OF
Kentucky
The letter will be forwarded at
once to the officials of the department
of the interior at Washington. that
steps may be taken to untangle the
situation, which threatens to inval-
idate all the titles to land on the
island.
Wolf Island over which the litiga-
ton has been waged, is a tract about
three miles square in the Mississippi
river between Mississippi county, Mis-
souri,, and Hickman county, Kentucky
On maps the island appears to be
nearly in the middle Of the stream,
but according to a report of the en-
gineers of the interior department
the main channel of the river is on
the east side SaOaratino the island
from Kentucky.
