The boomers ot Council lllnirs real estate have not been content to confine their opera tions to the Iowa side ot the river , but have crossed over nnd Inaugurated a system ot squatter sovereignly upon a tract ot land .float Is within hnlllng distance of the heart of ttnalin ) , and much more valuable than seine of the additions upon tlio sale of which for tunes have been made within the past lew months. Tlio ground In question Is tlio old bed of the -Missouri river lying south and east nloog tlio entire length of Cut Off Inlce. All of this icrouml , comprising about 1,500 acres , 1ms been staked oil Into claims during tlio past week , and at least twenty houses are being erected thcicon. This sclicmo for acquiring - ' quiring property originated In the terlilo brain of Dr. Thomas .lellcrls , of Council JJIiilfs , a few days ago and ho at once put his plnii Into execution , lie came over with his family , purchased lumber- and commenced the construction of a lieu o for each member of his family. He staked out a claim of forty acres In the bed of tlio channel touching on the south what would bo an extension of (1 ( race street. Upon this ho commenced the erection of a ten room house which which will be completed within ten days when ho proposes to occupy It. Immediately norlh of this Mrs. JeflTerls , wife of the doc tor. 1ms a claim of some ten acres on which tlio foundation has been made for a house. Jid Porter , tlio doctor's son-in-law , has staked a claim ami another son-in-law , Flnlcy ] ) urk , a Council lilulls attorney , has his claim located. Thos. Jetrcits , the doctor's eon , has a claim and a house located on the next quarter , nnd nbo\o this is the beginning ot n house and claim for Dr. JclTerls daugh ter. Hugh Shields , a nephew of the doctor , completes the family cliclu with a claim on which a house Is being built. The JelTerls family do not have n monopoly on this deal , however. Other Council UlnlTs citizens have a hand In tlio speculation. Perry Keel , the shcrltr of Pottawnttamlo county , has a claim 1 ns has also Thos. ISowman , tlio proprietor ot tliet'louu and postm.ister. Deputy United States Marshal Kd. Troutman.lames ( ioldcn , Forrest and Earnest Smith andseveial oilier lilullltcH have Joined the squatters and hone fora fortune In the out come. Several Omaha parties have caught on tn tlio scheme and have staked out claims. Jiolln & Solvers , the Sixteenth street gtoceis In their anxiety to net hold of a desirable claim , paid a muffs boomer § 50 to go out Friday night and pick out a ten acre chunk of tlio property for them. A house was started on this location yesterday , and other Onmlm fortune seekers wcro Imsy driving stakes dellnlng the boundaries of their future rca ! estate fortunes. The piopeity in question Is the old bed of tliOThrr which was vacated by the change of tlio ri\or channel In ISTfi. It comprises about 1X)0 ( ) acres , and Is comparatively high and dry. beliiu above high water mark and reasonably free from overflow. It holders Cut Off Luke on the south and cast , and lies west of tlio Island , the property of which has been the subject of so much litigation. The property has been surveyed liv F. J. Urod- oeck , surveyor ot Pottawatlamio county , from tlio original government survojs ot Pottawattamlo county. Dr. Jcllrles , who is at the head of the boomers , when asked yestciday by a Uir. : roportci by vrlial authority he laid claim to the property , replied : "On tlio ciouiul that It belongs to the United States , and wo have as mueii right to It as any other cltl/eus , especially as it belongs to Iowa , " "Hut how does It belong to Iowa'.1" asked tlio reporter. "Fiom the fact that It was occupied by tlio il\cr when the gov ernment survey was made. The sunremo cotntot the United States has held that state boundaries are not clmnirod by the shilling of river channels , and the Xehiaslcu. line runs whcio It did when the government survey was made. " "How do you pioposo to get a title to jour claims ? " "Wo will fllo our claims and statements In tlio ollico ot the clerk of Pottawnttamlo county ami also nt Washington. Of eotirso wo do not expect to get the pioperty at pie- ciiiption prices. The land belongs to the government , and wo will ask that It bo ap praised lor us. We nro willing to pay any reasonable price tor It. " "Do you oxiicct nny opposition to your possession of thoclniiiisV "Wo nro not atrald ot any opposition. Wo have ns much right tlicie as any other citi zens and moro tlmn nny monopoly. The 13. it M. folks nio trying to get possession of tlio pioperty. but they'll have inn doing It , Colonel Tower sent asmvoyor down theio yostciday. Ho found our surveyor at work and nsked what right wo had there. 1 told him In a way that stopped his surveying. " , "Vou think you have aloituno In sight , don't you ? " "Yes , mid I'm going to hold on to my Rhnro ot It this time until it develops. I hnvo let several million dollars Blip through my hands In Omaha and I'm old enough now to know better. 1 was hero In IbM , and at that tlmo owned what Is now Sulphur Springs addition. 1 sold It to eet the stnto cnpltol located there , but by sell It was located iicroon the high school lull. 1 owned lots of pioix-rty hero then , but let It go. J\ow 1 ma going lo hold this until 1 see my way clear to a comfoitable foitune , and 1 am Biiro 1 will. " A teamster nnlveil nt this tlmo with n load of lumber niul tliu veteran doctor cut the talk short , and turned his attention to the work ot constructing a house foroiioofhis numoroiidimiilly.

" Washington Critic : Senator Joe Hlack- bnrn , of Kentucky , was , as is well known , a dashing southern leader in tlio late war. At a social gathering n few evenings ago tlio senator paid a glowing tribute to tlio exalted character of Abra ham Lincoln. He said ho considered Mr. Lincoln the fairest man that over presided over a nation , and that his tak ing oil' by thu hand of an asstssin was the most cruel blow the south received from the war. Then tlio senator related the incident of his lirst meeting Mr. Lin coln , whieli in substance was as follows : "When I was nineteen years of ago I located in Chicago , nnd commenced tlio practice of law. One of niv lirst cases was in the United States court , which was presided over by Jiiitico McLean , of the United States supreme court , and Judge Drnm- mend of the Illinois circuit. Tlio oppos ing counsel was Isaac N , Arnold , tlioimt tlio head of the Chicago bar , who was subsequently a prominent member of congress and author of thu lirst biogra phy of Mr. Lincoln. I hud tiled ti de murrer to Mr. Arnold's pleadings in the can.se. and when the case was reached on tlio calendar 1 was quite nervous at having such a formidable and experi enced antagonist , while the dignity of the tribunal and tlio prounca of a largo number of Jawyorn m the court all aided to increase my timidity ami embarrass ment. I was young , inexperienced , and naturally felt dillident and norvons ; in faot , 1 was willing that any disposition should bo made of tlio ease , PO 1 could bo rid of it. 1 was ready to adopt any sug gestion of tlio opposing counsel whieli would relieve me of the embarrassing sit uation , I wanted to gel away from the ordeal as soon as possible , Air. Arnold made an argument in which ho criticised my demurrer in a manner that greatly tended to increase my confusion , However - over , I had to make an olfort. J said but littloand that in a very bewildered man ner , and WAS about ready to sit down and let thu case go by default , as it were , when a tall , homely , loose jointed man , sitting in the bar , whom 1 had noticed as giving close attention to the oaso. arose and addressed the court in behalf of thn position 1 had assumed in my feeble arguments making flu ) points so clear that when hu closed tlio court at once sustained my demurrer. I didn't yet know who mv volunteer fiiend was.bnt . Mr. Arnold gel up and attempted to robnko him for in terfering in the matter , when 1 , for the lirst time heard he wns 'Abo Lincoln,1 of Springfield. Mr. Lincoln , in his good- natured reply lo Mr. Arnold's strictures on his interfercneo , said that he churned the privilege of giving a young lawyer a boost whnn struggling with his lirst case , especially if lip was pitted against tin ex. pericnct'd ' practioner , Qf course 1 thanked him and departed from thu court as proud as a young Held marshal. 1 never saw Mr. Lincoln again , and ho died without * over knowing who tlio young struggling lawver * was ho had so kindly assisted'and relieved from defeat in his maiden e'.l'ort before u United States tribunal , " * - . . . * * ' THEY MTISTOO.
