_ OVER SWAMP LANDS ROSE GERBRACHT WINS Fitle to Thousands of Acres of Such Land Involved; Rules in Favor of Squatters. Title to thousands of acres. of awamp lands in Lake county which have become extremely valuable on account of their desirability as sites for summer resort purposes is wrest-- &4 from the county under a ruling handed down in favor of "squat-- ters" by Judge Earl D. Reynolds, in the Winnebago county circuit court,. The land involved in a number . of swamp land suits hinging on this test case is estimated to be worth more than $1,000,000. Judge Reynolds over-- ruled an exception to the master--in-- chancery report and signed a decree for the complainant, Mrs. Rose Ger-- bracht, who claimed title to about 160 acres of swamp land in the Grass Lake region. . ~ eraaik> ena@®.

The court did not decide the case bf Frank Hatch, who claims to own 1,000 acres on Hackberry Island, which is north of the Gerbracht tract, known as Blarney Island. Suits now in court involve. more than 2,000 acres which are estimated to be worth from $200 to $250 an macre. "Squatters" on . many other large tracts are now about to start T m OOUC O Rerc 48 40. Ofl;-'nafly the government trans-- ferred the swamp lands to the state and then they were ceded to the county. "Squatters" were permitted to occupy the land by keeping up the taxes, and gave them the first chance to buy it at $1.25 an acre. Then the county raised the price to §$50. At a recent action of the county board "It was decided not to sell any more swamp lands at any price. _ This brought ~about the Gerbracht and Hatch suits. A short time before that Jack O'Connor bought the coun-- ty'dA interest in three acres of Blar méey Island which Mrs. Gerbracht is auing for. _ i¥icc: GOL RWata es ECC + The courty some time ago posted "no trespassing" signs on the Hatch property. Acting on advice of his at-- torney, E. V. Orvis, the signs. were torm down by Hatch. Atty. Albert L. Hall, representing the county, has intimated that an ap-- peal will be taken to the Supreme Court. The Gerbracht .case estab-- lshes a precedent in the state con-- cerning the rights of "squatters." TRUCK DRIVER IS SEARCHED BGHT -- TIMES, IS WEARY Manages to Force Smile When the Nninth Load of Cops Look for Beer. CALL IT HARDSHIP Tre life of a poor hardworking truck driver is not what it used to be. -- Take for instance the Chicago @river who relates a tale of woe aft-- er being searched nine ttnes in one night for a cargo of beer. Ho bhad started out in the evening from Milwaukee inient on _making Chicago in six hours, His truck was loaded fairly beavy with furniture, but the roads were good and he was making excellent time, that is until bey hit Lake county. The first resi-- dent of this county to greet him wore a star. Ha presented himself as a deputy and turned the truck inside out but found no beer. That scemed reasonable to the @river, so he dismissed the incident as a part of his nights work. But thero came a second copper, a third, fourth, fAlth, sixth, seventh and eighth. Thay all insisted on search-- ing and he agreed. . Then, when the sun was peeking up on a new day, he saw another gang of oficers headed his way. He was prepared to give up. The night had been too much for him. _ They accepted his story that he had been searched eight timeg, but went thru his truck the ninth just to make cer-- tain. Ho told the officers that he had spent more time going through Lake county than he had planned for the entire trip. _ -- But still he agreed that they were werfecily right to halt his trouck as long as the beer was thought to be Nowing through the county. # CALLS SNORING REAL DISFASE H@noring !s not a habit, it is a dis eane, says the health GAcpartment bufistin of the city of Chicago is suod . yesterday, suggesting that it :" cured by the famlly physi-- "That maore killings have not tak-- an place on account of snoringk," (ne hulletin says, "Is dus to good emo-- tional control and we should be thankful for that."
