MANY SUED FOR OLD LANDS
Litigation Recalls the Passing of Port
VI 40. Once a Thriving Harbor
City in Ozaukee County.

4 Milwaukee, The passing of two
of the earliest Wisconsin towns, one
of which has wholly disappeared
from the map, while the name of the
other is is revived as a railroad sta
ton, has been recalled recently by
suits and petitions brought in con
nection with the settlement of prop
erty and names of these old land
marks.
One of these historical spots is
Port Ullao, in Ozaukee county, long
since crowded out of memory by its
thriving neighbor, Port Washington;
the other is the old Indian village of
Corning, in Marquette county. the
name of which has been changed to
Anacker by the 500 railroad, and is
now likely to be changed again, if
the movement started by conserva-
tive old settlers should be success
full
Suits have been brought in circuit
court against a long list of defend
ants to clear up the title and va
cate the streets and alleys of what
was once known as Port Ullao, but
what now is nothing but farm land.
The story OF this spot is associated
with some dark pages of history.
This was the birthplace of Charles j.
Guiteau, whose name lives in the an
nails of our country coupled with the
murder of President Garfield
Back in territorial times Port
Ullao, situated five miles south of
Port Washington, was looked upon
as the coming commercial metropo-
lis of the lakes. The port consisted
of pier running out into the lake
at which steamboats, of those days
discharged passengers and cargo and
took on wood. 1t was while lying
at the Port Ullao pier that a steam
er on which the late Capt Frederick
Pabst and the late Gregory Hurson
were serving as officers saw the
smoke and flames of the steamer Nj
agara, which caught fire when
near Port Washington, and burned
with a terrible loss of life.
AS the state began to settle, Mil
waukee on the south and Port Wash
ington on the north pushed forward
and the claims of Port Ullao to COM
mercial supremacy were crowded
into the background. For time it
held it's own as a woodward for lake
steamers, but this, in turn, was cut
off by other ports of more import
ance
One by one the residents left I'M
TIL nothing remained but a beautiful
plat on paper of what would appear
city of considerable population.
Gradually even the name was for
gotten, except by a few of the older
settlers who came to the state in
pioneer times.
The old forks of the Neenah just
below Corning and the neighboring
fork of French creek were called
Wishonche, or Neenah Wishonche,
l. E., the junction or gathering of
waters.
Before the advent of the railroad
line, the village had become almost
extinct, but since then it was con-
verted into depot and bids fair to
be preserved as landmark, although
it probably will never be more than
a hamlet.

Animals Sense Danger Of Storm.

Horace Smith, prospector. who an
nually makes a visit to the Covina
valley. Cal, from the Businesses of
the Sierra Madre mountains, says that
the tree squirrels, skunks and prac-
tically all other animals found in the
interior wilds have forsaken the noun
tains and have come down to the foot
hills, where they are burrowing deep
in the earth to protect themselves
from a great storm that is brewing.
The prospector is borne out in his
statement by several old mountaineers
who have noticed the same thing.
Il have noticed this fear on the
part of animals several times in my
mountain experience" said the pros
pector, land each time there has been.

gathering the booty that the sea had
brought them, and cared nothing for
the lives of the wretched sailors. II

professional wrecker still fiourished.

out their boats upon an errand Of
mercy; then he called a number OF
citizens about him, and by an offer of

be saved from the wrecks, succeeded
In enlisting numerous party Of res

by force the custom house boats as
well as several other boats that were
being used in gathering plumber, and
thus equipped he brought ashore as
many Of the unfortunate sailors as
possible, though hundreds persisted
before they could be reached.
These he fed and lodged at his own

afterward he was reimbursed by the
