There are many opinions as to
Hie ownership of the land, thou
most of them are of the "curb
stone'' variety. The ipieslion of
the ownership of the land has
lonn been a favorite topic of con
versation al the depot platform.
Some said it was government
land, and anyone could homestead
it; others said that a man could
gain ownership to it by sijualting
on it and holding it a certain
number of years; there were some
who said the land did not belong
to anybody, individual or govern
ment; while si ill others said it
belonged to the city or lo the Hur
linglon railroad.
Originally it can be ad
mitted Ihal the land lo the water's
edge belonged to the city. Years

It i certain that the land be
longs eilln-r to I be city or to the
railroad for b the law of ac
cretion, land mad by a river he
longs lo tin- owner of that ad
joining it.
The Hurlinglon claims the l ight
lo the land. Whether their claim
is valid or not is something that
the city council can well consider.
City Attorney Tidd said today
that be had never looked up the
iUeslion, but he believed that thp
laud belonged to the city, ami if
it did. the city should take pos
session before it lost its rights.
Mr. Hates, the man who put in a
crop on a part or the land tins
fencing in some more
of the land, may or may not be
acting under legal advice. The
d i opinions of the attorneys seen by
the Journal is that he has no right
to the land and can have no claim
to it, even if he does fence it in.
I'. K. Schlater was asked by the
Journal if Hales had secured a
lease from either Fitzgerald or
himself. He said that Hales had
not been to see either of them.
They had notified the Hurlinglon
attorneys of Hates' action and ex
pected them to act if their rights
were being in any wav endanger
ed. Hates says that the land be
longs to the government and says
he has a right to it. It looks as
if the tpieslion will have to go to
the courts for settlement.

Last week the Journal had an
article about the Segreve divorce
case, which was tried before Judge
Travis. All hough the reporter
writing the article secured the in
formation from the court olllcials
ami heard a part of the testimony
himself, Mrs. Segreve believes the
article unfair to her, and asked
the Journal to publish the fol
lowing signed statement:
"Plattsmouth, Neb., Sept. 25.
"Editor Journal: Please put
Ibis in the paper. The $31 was
Mrs. Segreve's. My mother gave
me $100 when we left England.
The paper said Mr. Segreve sent
money home, $20 a month. He
never sent any money home one
year and nine months, and he took
$490 what belonged to me. There
was not a word about that. He
said if I ditl not appear against
him he would take nic to the old
country.
