STATES CLASH OVER TOWN RICH IN IRON
Michigan and Wisconsin Bring Matter of Boundary to High Court

Ironwood. Mich, Nov. i7.--On the arm of the attorney general of Mich igan, the town Of Hurley, Wisconsin, notorious in it's past, has been ush- cred before the supreme court Of the United States
 Born to notoriety in the days of the north country's rum rebellion. ! Hurley, nevertheless, is desired by Michigan, with Wisconsin just as firm in fighting the attempt to remove the town from its jurisdiction.
 Hurley is on the small strip Of ! land that Michigan claims as it's own, despite the fact that the land. situated in Iron and Villas counties, | has been Wisconsin territory since 1886. Michigan's contention, as pre- scented to the supreme court in d bill Of complaint is that the boundary line between Michigan and Wisconsin was established originally as through the middle of the main channel Of the Montreal river" Later it was dis covered that the original surveys were incorrect: that the river branched. Michigan asserts that the correct boundary is in the west branch of the river: Wisconsin. the east branch.
 The territorial acquisition that would result to Michigan, if this states contentious are recognized by the high court. would be small, in- cluding besides the land in the two Wisconsin counties. several islands in the Menominee river and Washing ton island in Green Bay. Valuable deposits Of iron and coal. however, make the disputed terrain a tempting bone for the two commonwealths to wrangle over.
 Michiean's bill of complaint to the supreme court charges that Wiscon- sin has refused to settle amicably the boundary dispute. Wisconsin is re- quired to file an answer by January z.
 The Michigan Wisconsin dispute is of long standing. Michigan officials have explained the present court ac- ton is not as much directed to the extension of the territorial limits as it is to the settlement forever. one way or another, Of the boundary sr- gumeBt.
