tho lMissesslon of forty acres of accre

Island, the property was practically
worthless, but when it became a part
or the malnlnnd It ndjolncd the land
of tho Armour Packing company and
its value was great. Tho accretions
became greater, and the trestle, over
which the Chicago Great Western en
ters Kansas City, was built on a part
of tho now laud.
In 1895 "tho Armour Packing com
pany brought proceedings to eject
Howe, who Insisted that the property
was his by settler's right. Tho Armour
company claimed possession because
Its lnnd adjoined the new made ground.
The case wns brought originally In a
justice court, taken to the city court
and finally to the district court, where
Howe was given n decision.
