Attorneys Spencer Smith, C. M. Harl
nnd Jtmis McCabo of this city commenced
suit in tho district court yesterday against
II. II. Holloway and others for the purpeso
of determining how tho money recovered
from tho Chicago & Northwestern nnd tho
Sioux City & Pacific Hnllway companies In
what woro known an tho "hay rato" eaiscs
should bo divided.
Soveral years ago, tho attorneys who ap
pear as plaintiffs In tho suit acted for Hol
loway, Blair, McCby and Brown,
hay shippers along tho lino of
tho Sioux City & Pacific road, In
h tilts to recover alleged excessive rates
charged on hay Hhlpments to Council Bluffs.
Tho attorneys at tho solicitation of the
shippers took tho eases on a contingent fee
r one-third In tho cuse of Holloway and one
half In tho other cases.
Tho claims of tho four plaintiffs wcro for
convenience assigned to one of their num
ber and combined In ono suit. Aftor pro
tractnd litigation Judgment was rendered
against tho railroads. Tho attorneys filed
Hons on tho Judgment nnd after the pay
ment by agreement of certain other claims
tho following nmountn wore turned over to
thorn by tho railroad companies for them
solvrn and their clients:
On Hollowny's claim, JG.031.8S; on Mc
Coy's clnlm, $3,769.19: on Blair's claim. Jl,
S36.09; on Brown's claim, $1,722, Subse
quently a sctllouient wan reached between
tho attorneys nnd the fcevernl plalntltfH
In tho suit by which tho latter accepted
about one-half of tho sum named as full
settlcmont for their claims, tho attorneys
retaining tho other half as their foes.
Subsequent to this settlement Holloway
and hiti associates discovered that the Judg
ment rendered against tho railroad compan
ies was not only for tho original nmount
of tho claims but carried with It attor
ney fees. This being tho ciue. tho attor
neys not only received their statutory fere
from tho railroad companies hut also their
contingent fees from tho plaintiffs in the
suit. Holloway and his associates then do
manded a division of tho feeH ns recovered
from tbtt railroad companies, claiming that
tho agreement for the division of the amount
to bo recovered from the railway companies
applied also to the attorney fee's.
Tho attorneys on their part resisted this
claim and Holloway nnd his associates
threatened to bring thn matter Into court.
Tho attorneys, howover, forestalled them
and tho action commenced yesterday Is tho
result. Tho ntto"ieys ask tho court lo de
termine whether the settlement already mado
In final and conclusive, nnd If It Is not,
what is a fair and equltnblo division of the
amounts recovered from tho railroad com
panies. .HcrllnnruiiN 1. 1st, Knelt n IlnrKnlit

that In that case Uio appointment of a Judgo
to fill the vacancy until the next general
election will rest with tho governor. This
courso Is favored by many of the lending
republicans hero. It Is said that Judge- Smith
will def Ido us to the dato of his resignation
after tho congretslonal convention.
A number of aspirants for Judge Smith's

of the lending candidates. O. D. Whmler

DBS MOINES, In., May 11. (Special Tele
gram.) Tho ownership of 30,000 acres of
.Nebraska land was settled hero today.
Tho supreme court this morning nfilrmcd
tho decision of the district court lu tho enso
of Kllza I). H.twiey, Sarah F. Latio and
Samuel II. Irwin, uppcllnnts, versus M. K.
(irlffen, Mrs. M. K. Orlffcn, Charlen C. Smclt-
ron and C. H. Urockshlnk, which was ap
pealed from Clay district. Justlco Water
man dissents from the opinion of tho court.
Tho case, popularly known ns the Irwin
lnsano case, was consolidated with four other
cases In equity and Is ono of unusual In
terest. John lrwln, fathor of tho plaintiffs,
died In Nebraska City, Neb., on October 20,
1893, intostnto and 94 years of ago, leaving
tho plaintiffs his only heirs at law. Beforo
moving to Ohio from Nobraska ho had ac
cumulated a largo number of military
bounty warrants, which on coming west ho
proceeded to locate on lands In Iowa and
Nebraska, thus acquiring patent title to
about 20.000 acres In this state and 30.000 in
Nebraska. Ho iccelved patent titles to tho
Innds in controversy In 1859. Most of the
lands were eoltl for nonpayment of taxes and
went to tax deeds. Neither Irwin nor his
heirs mado an attempt to redeem tho lands
from tax sales. Tho code provides that
property of a minor or lunatic sold for taxes
may be redeemed within a year. Action
was brought by Irwin's heirs on the ground
that John Irwin was a lunntlo when tho
lands were sold for nonpayment of taxes and
continued so until his death, nnd conse
quently that the tlmo for rednmptlon had
never expired. Tho defendants deny that
Irwin was a lunatic and that actions were
ccmmeticcd ono year after his death.
Tho court reiviows tho ovldenco on Ir
win's alleged Insanity and holdB that whllo
eccentric, ho maintained shrowd business
ability to tho last nnd could not bo ad
judged a lunatic. Irwin let tho land ba
sold from him because of necessity and not
through nn lnsano doluslnn, and It Is not
now redeemable. Tho land has of lato years
became very valuable and largo amounts
wero Involved In tho case.

Today tho Iowa State Federation of Labor
voted unanimously against suspension of tho
Burlington trades assembly, the Burlington
Typographical union and tho Council Bluffs
trades atswmbly but denounced Lawyers
Tracy and Iluzelton of Council Bluffs. Be
foro this action, however, a. warm discussion
was had In open session. A majority of tho
rosolutlona commlttco reported In favor of
simply censuring thcsV? bodies.
Later a minority consisting of W. T. Staf
ford and W. E. O'BIenn'etB handed In a report
recommending expulsion of theso bodies from
tho otnto federation, but exonerating the
delegates attending this convention from
any blamo or participation In Uio affair, by
which was meant tho antagonism of the
Titus convict labor bill. On call for the
vote on adoption of tho majority roport ev
erybody said aye. Tho substance of tho
majority report was as follows:
"U iclvcd, That the action of such men
n3 Lawyers Tracy and Hazclton and George
L. Stowurt, -who wero tho -prlmo movers In
the matter, he most severely denounced, and
that they Tio herewith held up to tho
scorn of all Iowa pcoplo and the residents of
this great commonwealth.
"Uesolvod, That Council Bluffs trades as
sembly bo recommended to mercy for Its
change of attltudo and 'hurry call' In
fleeing from nn lmaglnnry ghost, and that
as wo hope to bo forgiven nnd havo mercy
extended to us, so we pronounce upon them
soveru ceneure, whllo we pity the smallneus
of their Ideao In fearing nn imaginary evil
whero thorough Investigation would havo
convinced thorn that nothing but good could
havo ccmo from the passage of tho Titus
bill."
A rraolutlon was adopted favoring the
piihsagn of tho barber bill which seeks for
the appointment of a stato cxamlng board
