RECALLS CHICAGO CASE
Controversy Over "Streeterville"
Brought About Long Con-

CHICAGO, Dec 12.-WashiNgto toms
fight over titles to- downtown busi-
ness property recalls the years of lit
igation here over title 20 what has
come to be known as "Streeterville,
in the exclusive Lake Shore drive dis
trict, and now covered with luxuri-
Gus apartment houses.
Chicagos fight over this tremen-
dously valuable property was started
by Capt" George yelling Streeter.
picturesque salt and fresh water
sailor.
Streeter's fight was based on a
story to the fact that on July 10.
1856, he was shipwrecked of the
lake shore. He and his wife, washed
high and dry in the sands of what is
now known as the Gold Coast" be-
cause of the millionaires who live
along the Lake Shore drive, stayed
aboard the wrecked steamer Reutan
four years.
Gradually the sand filled in behind
him to the bar on which he was
stranded, and, eventually, the Street
ers could walk ashore. Then he
claimed title, and somebody obtained
for him what purported to be a Fed
eral land grant from the Land Office
Title to what he called .'the District
of Lake Michigan" he refused to rec
ognize Illinois State laws or officers.
and more than once fought pitched
battles with deputy sheriffs who at
tempted to convict him. But the
courts finally got the best Of the
captain" despite his battling and
swearing, and he has lost title to
such of the property az he had not
sold to others who were willing to
take a chance in investing their
money.
The land upon which Streeter
"squatted" is worth millions OF dol
