MICHIGAN JAX CROOKS
More Suits Filed in Van Buren
County, Michigan, to Remove
Clouds on Titles Than in Any
Other County in the United
States.
Land Sharks and Others So Bold In
Their Juggling of Books and De
scriptions That Uncle Sam
May Get Them.
Thoro aro inoro suits filed in tho
courts of Van Duron County, Michi
gan, to rcmovo clouds from laud tltlos
than tlicro aro filed for that purposo
in any other county In tho Unltod
States, Including tboso containing tho
largest cities in tho country.
Thoro havo been inoro professional
land thieves at work in Vau Duron
County than In any othor county in
tho United States, and thoy aro still
at work.
Men connected with certain lines
of business and using olllclals elected
In somo townships as tholr tools aro
engaged all of tho tlmo In clouding
tho titles of honost and bona fide land
ownors.
This fact has dono moro to koop tho
county back than any othor thing.
Tho bad namo given to this part of
tho Stato of Michigan by tho land
crooks Is bocomlng a by-word through
out tho nation.
Many of thoso crooks claim land
on tho strength of tax tltlos ob
tained after tho rightful ownors had
paid tho taxes through Juggling of
descriptions and tax books.
Efforts aro to bo mado to roach
somo of thorn through Federal action,
as tho peculiar hold thoy havo on local
authorities precludes hopo of roform
in that direction. ,
Victims of thoso bands of crooks
aro advised that It thoy llvo outstdo
of Michigan thoy can bring suit
against olllclals, backers, brokers or
others who daniugo thorn or tholr In
terests in tho U. S. courts.
Tho cltlzonc of Vnn Duron County
should wako up to tho situation and
rotlro thoso graftcs to tho peniten
tiary or to somo other place whore
tholr public records cannot injuro tho
community.
Van Durcn County Is naturally rich
in soil, dollghttul In cllmato and geo
graphically Idoal for success in overy
lino.
Its prospocts havo been blighted.
Tho tostlmony of all outside peoplo
who havo invested thoro is that thoy
havo boon sklnnod and bothorod by
tho land shark syndlcato.
Congressman Thomas Gallagher of
Chicago is one of the most influential
men In Washington.
