Leading Cltizens Curiously Mixed i Up With This New DMystery Two Chancery bills were filed in the Superior Court, yesterday, designed to disturb the titla to and ownership of property in a southern euburb of the city, valued in the aggregatoat over | $2,000,000 ; namely, by the heirs of John Bost- | wick, of Gpper Alton, Madison County, against the holders of the southwest quarter of Section | 14, Township 38, valued at £700,000, and tho ! wes: half of the southwest quarter of Soction 3, same township, valued st £1,250,000. The ma- terial on which the bills were fonnded have been some months in gathering, and it is a melan- choly reflection that, in using them, it has not been poseible to separate the facts relating to the legal aspects of the claim from grave personal charges affecting the honor nd integrity of highly respected citizens.

And ther laintiffs are informed and beliove, 2and therer.ro state that the down payment upon said contract of sale. was 3,000, to wit: £500 ‘which was paid at tho date of said contract, 2nd §2,500, with intorest at therate of 1 per cent a month, which was, by the terms of smd contract, to be paid in four months from the date thereof, and which was 8o paid to said Hess, and the bal- ance of $21.000 was to ba paid in instc!ments ranning fin‘unfi}l soveral years thereafter, with intereat from the dste of said aale, to wit, the 5th dsy of June, A.

The story loses.its connect- odness and becomes uninteresting. Without wearying the reader with a long statement of dry facts which have lost thoir freshness from this point, we mey summarize what follows, by stating that it shows in *detail tho length, and breadth, and depth of all the proceding allogs~ tions, and calls on the Gourt to give relief in all the matters related. Itisnot mecessary to re- peat the particular legal processes prayed forj it is sufficient to know that the boirs of John Bostwick have gono into chancery for the owner- | ship of the entire lands named, and taken tho i i wholo of the owners with them.
