Interior Department Makes Ruling
Which Omaha Will Contest.
Claims are Federal Tracts.
Washington, May 6. The depart
ment of the interior has approved the
recommendation qf Assistant Public
Land Commissioner Wickham that
the islands in the Platte river in Gar
den county, Nebraska, be considered
the property of the citizens who own
the land on the banks of the river di
rectly opposite the islands instead of
government land available as public
land grants, it was announced today.
Samuel Herrick, Washington at
torney, representing Arthur Savord
of Omaha and other Nebraskans, de
clared he would file an appeal from
this decision with the department of
the interior. Mr. Herrick contends
that the islands are the property .of
the government having existed prior
to the Nebraska survey in 1875 and
through an error on the part of gov
ernment surveyors were overlooked
in the survey.

sioner WJfkham. however, in his re

disagrees with Wickham. He con
tends the islands did exist prior to

"The ownership of the islands,"
an official at the interior department
said today, "depends on whether they
have existed before the survey of
1875 or were formed afterward. We
will have to determine this before
we can determine who owns the

lieves they existed before that date
while the assistant l3nd commission
er contends they have formed since,
which brings forth an interesting
and unusual situation."
The controversy arose a short time
ago when Arthur Savord and other
Nebraskans requested that the is
lands be surveyed by the government
with a view to making public land
grants. This was immediattly pro
tested by the owners of the land on
the banks of the river who claimed
the islands were part of their prop
