Rock Island Loses Fight
In Lancaster District Court
(From Staff Correspondent)
Lincoln, Oct. 16. (Special.) A de
cision of interest to a great many peo
ple of Nebraska, especially along the
line of the Rock Island railway, and,
perhaps, along other lines, was given
' yesterday in the district court of
Lancaster county, involving the per
petual rights of railroads to obtain
property. Suit was brought by Mrs.
Emma H. Holmes against the Rock
Island to ai.nul an option given by her
when the railroad company purchased
land ' for a right-of-way through the
state. The deed recited that the com
pany had the right to purchase addi
tional land at any time in the future
at the same price per acre.
Senator E. J. Burkett, attorney for
Mrs. Holmes, held that the option in-
cluded in the deed was in violation of
the law of perpetuities and that the
land could not be placed in perpetual
situation a? against trade and com
merce. The court decided in favor of
Mrs. Holmes.
