SQUATTER SOVEREIGNTY. Oouncil Bluffs Hoorn@m Lay Olaim to the 01d River Bed, JEFFRIES GREAT SCHEME, DR. Bullock Defeats the Canadian Cham- plon—Youthful Dancers—A Jewel- er's Failure—Tickets for Pattd ~Other Local New Bquatter Soverelgnty. “The boomers of Council Bluffs real estate have not been content to contine their opera- tions to the lowa side of the river, but have erossed over and inaugurated a system of squatter sovereignty upon a tract of land & «that 1s within hailing distance of the heart of Omaha, and much more valuable than some of the additions upon the sale of which for- tunes have been made within the past tew months, The ground in question is the old bed of the Missouri river lying south and east along the entire length of Cut O Jake. All of this ground, comprising about 1,500 acres, 1as been staked off into claims during the past week, and at least twenty houses are being erected thercon. This seheme for ac ' quiring property originated in the fertile brain of Dr. Thomas Jefferis, of Council Bluffs, a few days ago and h pian into execution. He came over with family, purchased lumber and commeneed the construction of a house for each member of his family. IHe staked out a claim of forty acres in the bed of the channel touching on the south what would be an extension of Grace street. Upon this he commenced the erection of a ten room house which which will be completed within ten when he proposes to oceupy it. Immediately north of this Mrs, Jefferls, wife of the doc- tor, has a claim of some ten acres on which the foundation has been made fora house. £d Porter, the doetor’s son-in-law, has staked a claim and another son-in-law, Finley Burk, a Council Bluffs attorney, has his clain: located. Thos, Jefferis, the doctor’ son, has a claim and a_house located on the next quarter, and above this is the beginning of ahouse and claim for Dr. Jefferis daugh- ter. Hugh Shields, a nephew of the doctor, completes the family circle with a claim on which a house is being built. The Jefferis family do not have a monopoly on this deal, however, Other Council Bluffs citizens have a hand in the speculation. Per l?’ Reel, the sherifl of Pottawattamie county, fas a claim e has also Thos. Bowman, the propri nd tmaster. Deputy bu\tenrmnl sd. Troutman, James Golden, nd Earnest Smith and several other Bluflites have joined the squatters and hope for a fortune in the out conie. Several Omaha it on to the scheme and u\ed out claims. Bolln & Seiver: ix strect grocers in their anxiet; to et )|uld of a desirable claim, paid 8 Blufly boomer $50 to go out Friday nieht and pick out a ten acre chunk of the property for them, A house was started on this location yesterday, and other Omaha fortune scekers wero busy driving ning the boundaries™ of their future rea! estate fortunes. The property in question isthe old bed of r which was vacated by the change river channel in 1576, It comprises about 1,600 acres, and is comparatively high and dry, being above high water mark and reasonably free from overflow. Cut O Lake on the south and west of the island, the property been the subject of so inuch property has been suryeyed by eck, surveyer of Poftawattamie from the original government sus I'omwnmum ounty Dr. Jeffries, who {s at the head of the boomers, when asked yest by a Ber Teporter by whal authority he Taid elwim 'to the property, replied: “On the ground that it belongs to the United States, and we have as muc it as any other citizens, espe longs to Towa., *But how does it belong to Iowa?” the reporter. “From the fact it by the |l\cr ulmu ) ernment 81 made, supreme court ot nml Illll'(l States ha that state boundarie I shitting of river channels, and the Nebraska line runs where it did when the government B|II'VI'Y \\ us ||lnl|l' 1t_borders t, and lies of which has tion.

When the window of all'improvised ticket office in the ladies’ dressing room was thrown open thes was a rushiand demand for tickets which kept Max Meyer and his assistants busy 0 0'clock in the afternoon. it was announced that only ten tickets would be sold to each purchaser. At first, therefore, the sale was limited 1o ten to each man, Later on, however, the managers of the s n to allow each pur buy ten tickets of each class, $4, $3, $2 1. When this t became known each purehaser began to double, triple, and even quadruple his order—some purchasing as high as thirty and forty seats—none less than ten. Many of these purchasers bought seats for their less lucky friends, merely as amatter of accommodation. A large pro- portion of these extra blocks of seats, ho ever, undoubtedly fell into the hands of spee- ulators, who will be heard from next week. The receipts from yesterday afternoon’s 'nlew amounted to nearly $5,000, The young boys were on hand with their usual enter- , and formed in line with the spectators in the process of the sale, selling their te comets at good advant: sale of seats will be continued at Max er & Bro ore at 10 o'clock to-morrow morning. A large number of excellent seats stili remain untaken.

Senator Blackburn's Recollections of His First Meeting With *0ld Abe,"” Washington Critic: Senator Joe Black- burn, of Kentucky, was, as is well known, a dashing southern leader in the late war. At a social hering a few evenings ago the senator pud a glowimg tribute to the exalted character of Abra- ham Lincoln. He said he considered Mr. Lincoln the man that ey presided over a n (n-n and that his tak ing off by the hand of an assassin was the most cruel blow the south received from the war, Then the senator related the mciaent of his first meeting Mr, Lin- coln, which m substance was as follows, “Whien [ nincteen years of age I ated Iumgn and commenced of law.
