W. Nevison is the attorney of record. GREAT ALTERATION SALE. i 125 Men's and Boy's Suits, one and two of a kind It has been a long time since the Indians left this country but they are not through here yet. A suit filed in the district court tells a story that will surprise the people of the Kaw bottom.

The suit is nothing less than an attack on the titles of several of the best farms of the famous bottom. The present suit is only the beginning and the end is further than any man can see, on account of the value of the land. The story back of the suit is as follows It appears that on Oct. 12, 1865 Eliza Bluejacket received a deed to 1,200 acres of Jand the same being the portion of herself and five children when the lands of the Shawnee Indians were allowed in severalty. As the head of this family she had the ab IN THE 1st PLACE It's the Greatest Sale we've ever conducted.

The Shawnees became citizens of the United States by act of congress last February and they at once began looking around to see if they had any property that was not rightfully conveyed.

It has been a long time since the first suit was brought in our district court but tnere is one curious thiDg about it. The docket in the district clerk's office containing the final entry has disappeared. It basbeen taken within the last year and is the only book of final record that is gone. Why it should have been taken is hard to see as it is not known which side would gain the most or lose the most by the docket being placed in evidence. Whatever merit there is in this case it means a long, hard fight and before the legal contention ends the title to thousands of acres of land will be carried into court.

In many cases it is claimed that deeds were given where the conveyors had not the shadow of title and these will all be aired. The land in the Kaw bottom is especially valuable and it is worth fighting for. One man whose title has been called into question thought that possibly he might find it cheaper to buy off the litigants but he was staggered to learn that the heirs of Eliza Bluejacket demand 3d $30. per acre to take the cloud off the title. 821 Massachusetts Street.

Vis LOCAL and PERSONAL solute right to dispose of this land as she saw fit and was responsible to no one. She sold over half of it and all the conveyances made by her are recognized as legal. Mrs. Bluejacket had a husband who had been around the world some and was always ready to make trouble. It seems that it was the law of the Shaw-nees that the descent of property followed blood relatives and trie husband had no share in whatever was left.

This man's name was Eli tJlackhoof and he begun suit in the district court of Douglas county to have one half of the property given to him under the laws of Kansas. The other heir3 did not appear and it is not known whether or not they were legally cited. The contention is that it was a fraud for Blackhoof to come into the state court at all. This is the real question to be tried. SEE THE BARGAIN TABLES.
