Upton, Pioneer of Union Finds "Squatter" on Land Formed by Changing of Missouri The changing course of the Mis souri river, which has formed land along the original boundry, washet out the land and again restored it. has started a "squatter" claim to pome land southeast of Union which was purchased some years ago by G. S. Upton, a pioneer resident of Liberty precinct. liter washed away by the river and which has now for med another large accretion. The land in question is located in Otoe county just south of the George Everett farm and G. S. Up ton, the original owner of the land, was at Nebraska City Tuesday to take up with the board of commissioners there, the matter of his right to the land. About forty years ago Mr. Upton purchased lt8 acres of land near the Everett farm and was engaged in farming this until thirty-seven years ago the old Missouri river con cluded to change its course, swung over to the Nebraska side of the stream and gradually washed away forty acres of the Upton land. A few years ago the river again chang ed its channel and swung east to ward the Iowa side and gradually a large bar was formed between the main channel and the remainder of the Upton land, only a small amount of water remaining in the channel on the Nebraska side of the stream. Last spring, a man named James, appeared on the island and planted some twenty acres of corn and word cf his farming finally reached Mr. Upton and who made a trip to the island which he had considered his land as restored by the river. Mr. James informed Upton that he had "squatted" on the island and pro posed to homestead the same, if it was possible. Mr. Upton gathering; up his ori ginal deeds and papers that gave him the right to the land purchased forty years ago, came to Nebraska City to lay the- matter before the board of commissioners, who stated that they would have to consult the county attorney as to the rights of the original owner and the "squat ter" to the land. This case is somewhat similar to one that for several years was In court here when title to the land east of the Burlington right of way was in dispute between the railroad and the city which claimed the ac cretion land and those who had farm ed the land over a period of several years. After the legal battle In the court the title to the land here was vested in the persons that had prempted the land, the city being given title to the old baseball park that had been held as a public park through fencing and right of set tlement, the farming land being vest ed in the settlers. HIGH COST OF JAIL FEEDING The cost of the cities of having to feed prisoners who are held for minor offenses is a large one in the course of a year and many of the city executives take the view that if a prisoner will get cut that it is better than to force the city to go to the cost of food. This city has been saved a great deal in the past in the cost of jail upkeep by allowing the wanderers to "escape" or by permit ting prisoners to make partial pay ments of fines rather than have to board them. The following from the Nebraska City News-Press tells of the prob lems that is found there: "Mayor Miles M. Vaughih, when asked what he thought of the two escapes from the street crew of pris oners who had been fined in police court and were without money to square accounts, said it was better to get rid of them than to feed them. "The mayor said it costs 75 cents a day to feed a prisoner In the city jail and he thought if they were taken out to work and then escaped " it would result in their staying away from the city in the future. "He also said that the chief of police had been given instructions to give every man a 'chance.

APPOINT BOAD OVERSEER The board of county commission ers at their session Wednesday made the appointment of the road overseer in West Rock Bluffs precinct, the position having been made vacant by the death of Green Piggott, who Lad held the position for a number of years.
