SEIVS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS
Some Important Suits Will Boon Bo Insti
tuted in thfl District Court.
PROPERTY VALUED AT NEARLY 8600,000
Title to 10,000 Acre * of ronra Turin I.nnil
Invnlrcil Some
In Dcuccnt lo Ilu Ail-
jnitlcatcd.
What for years haa been known among
real estate men In this part of the west as
'tho crazy man's land , " Is now being
shaped for a general clearing up of title In
court , There are about 15,000 acres Involved ,
embracing some ol the choicest land In
Iowa , scattered along from Missouri to Min
nesota , there being , however , none of It In
Omaha or Council Bluffs , and but one tract
In this county.
The story of the tltlowhen stripped of the
legal phraseology , la an Interesting one. It
starts back _ ln the early 60s , when John
Irwln , an active , vigorous pusher from Ohio ,
with keen foresight na to the possibilities ol
tlio then virgin west , came Into Iowa and
began entering land on military bounty
warrants. He gathered up a mass of patents
securing the title to many broad ncres , and
then settled bad : Into a llfo of mental In
activity , so far as his rights to the property
were concerned. Broken In mind , he seems
to have paid little or no attention to busi
ness , and In due course * of time these thou
sands of acres slipped from him. being sold
for taxes. From these tax deeds other trans
fers were made , and owners have settled
upon the farms and Improvements and Increased -
creased valuation have gene on , and yet Iho
demented and eccentric old man has 'made
no voluntary rctlnqulihiiient of his title by
deed or otherwise , but simply let It sleep.
John Irwln has for years been a familiar
character In Omaha , his eccentricities am
evident unsound mental condition attracting
attention , although nt all times harmless
and peaceable In his manner. In deals In-
volvlng any of the land under his patents
there has always been recognized a coloring
of suspicion as to the validity of title In the
minds of real estate experts , who have been
accustomed to speak of such property as belonging -
longing to "tho crazy man. " Some have at
tempted to get him to sign quit claims , but
he has sullenly refused , and those desiring to
clear up their titles have In fame cases
gone Into court nnd got decrees. These dc-
creca arc likewise t bo attacked.
In October of last year the old man died
In Nebraska City , leaving three children ,
Eliza B. Hawley of Nebraska City , Sarah F.
Line , who lives In Colorado , and Lemuel
D. Irwln , whose homo In Is Nebraska. The
hclra have gathered up the old man's papers ,
there beinga great box filled with patrnts
warrants , deeds , etc. , some recorded am
some tossed In without , and placed the docu
mcnts In the hands of II. S. Hall t > f Omaha
and Flnley Burke of Council Bluffs , who have
been going through the musty mess and
hunting up records nnd facts for several
months , until now they have- - cleared up the
tangles sufficiently so that the heirs feel
that they can read their title clear to about
15,000 acres of choice land.
Some of these who occupy these lands have
already recognized the claims of the heirs ,
and have settled with tliem. Others arc
waiting until convinced by the courts. The
papers are being drawn up now , and are to
liled within a few days , by which a htmfli
dred or more suits will be started for the
purpose of securing for the Irwln heirs what
they deem their rights ! . These suits arc- all
of a similar nature , they being for the purM
pose of securing the right to redeem the
lands which have been cold years ago for
taxes. The right to redeem will bo pressed
on the ground not that the lielrs were mlnM
ors , but that Irwln was Insane at the tlm
the tax deeds were given. In these suit
tender wljl bo made for the amount of th
taxes , penalties. Interest , etc. , which amount
to no Inconsiderable sum by Iho accumulations
of years , but on the other hand the land has
advanced In value from a merely nominal
sum to an average of probably $40 an acre.

A petition waa filed In the district cour
yesterday by James S. Chrissman , makln
the town of Manawa , its mayor , T. A
Wright , William Ballou , recorder , and Danle
Sheets , treasurer , defendants. It allege
that the defendants , for the purpose of ob
taining money fraudulently- wrongfully
from the taxpayers of the town , at the meeting
of the Board of Trustees last Monday night
passed a resolution directing the mayor and
recorder to Issue warrants In excess of (1,000
to pay salaries of the town officials for the
past twelve years , or ever since the- Incor
poration of the town. In order to prevent the
warrants from being Issued Judge Macey was
asked to Issue an injunction restraining the
defendants from l&eulngthe warrants. A
bond ot $500 was filed , and Judge Maccy Issued -
sued the writ as requested.
For some time past a suit has ben pending
In the district court for the separation of a
large amount cf property now Included In the
town limits , from the town propsr , In order
that the owners may not have to pay out
their money to support ofilcials who , It Is
claimed , do not work excpt to draw their
salaries. Tills suit Is llkoly to come up for
n trial at the present term of court , and It
Is claimed by Chrlssman's attorneys that the
so-called "salary grab" la made just at this
time In order that the men whose property
la to ba set out from the rest of the town
will have to pay their share cf the salary
which the ofilcials and ex-ofliclals did not get.
It Is Bald that everybody who ever held an
ofllco In the town was Included In the reso
lution.

the Woman' * MIsMoimrr Society.
The second day of the eleventh annual
meeting < of the Des Molnes branch of the
Woman's Foreign Missionary society was
a highly Interesting ono to the 170 nnd nioro
delegates In actual attendance. The Broadway
cW
way Methodist church rarely has larger au
diences ' than those It contains now. One
striking thing about It Is the almost painful
nlnorlty of the occasional man that appears
n a sea of feminine bonnets. The services
are attractive to a large number of people
lesldcs the delegates , particularly those of
.he evening ,
The day was opened at 9 o'clock with a
consecration service , led by Mrs. L. D. Car-
. lart. , The enrollment of the delegates was
lollowed ' by the appointment ot committees
on resolutions , appropriations , and publica
tion. These committees will report today.
Mrs , E. K. Stanley , who has occupied the
position of treasurer of this society for the
> ast twenty-three years and has never re-
celved any pay outsldo of the knowledge that
sheIs doing good , read her annual report ,
which showed the fallowing receipts for the
past year , by conferences : Iowa conference ,
4,212.10 ; Upper lown , $1,140.21 ; Des Molnes ,
$5,025.10 ; Northwestern Iowa , $3,251.30 ; St.
Louis , $2,284.30 ; Missouri , $1,076.56 ; Central
.Missouri , $16.25 ; German work , $800.25 ; gen
eral miscellaneous , $555 ; total , $24,161 ; bal
ance from last yeir , $2,803.76 ; disbursements ,
$21,697.37 , leaving a balance In the treasury
of $2,269.75.
Mrs , M. S. Huston's report as correspond
ing secretary was a long but Interesting re
port of the work done In Oie entire foreign
field by the missionaries under the direction
of this branch. H was a story of hard ,
earnest work , heroic self-sacrifice , and often
meager results , but In some of the missions
there was such wonderful success reported
that It compensated for those In which the
work seemed to be almost fruitless. In
northern China there Is a good deal of anx
iety | felt Just now by reason of the conflict
between China and Japan. "Tho Japanese
have ; determined to capture Feklng , and talk
of beheading the foreigners Is common , " said
the ] report , "but Miss Frances Wilson closes
her last letter with 'God reigns ; we trust
Him. ' " Miss Wilson , whose homo Is in
Corning , und who has passed the last five
years on the mission Held , has been recalled
ot account of the danger , and the society
still has three missionaries In China , work
ing In the central and southern portion ,
nhora there Is no danger of violence. A
flne report was given of the work of Miss
Fannie , Perkins of Indlanola , who Is now at
the head of a lr.rgo orphanage at Itangoon.
Reports were also read from Bulgaria , Italy ,
Mexico and five conferences * In India , and
those In northern , central and southern Ja
pan and China. It was evident from the
reading that the 13.000 ladles of Iowa and
Missouri who are Interested In the * work of
the society have not labored In vain.
The following shows the way In which the
$25.000"contributed : by the two states during
the past year has been spent : American
missionaries , 14 ; bible women , CO ; native
teachers , 57 ; training schools , 5 ; number of
pupils , 61 ; boarding schools [ In part ) , 25 ;
number of pupils , 218 ; orphanages ( In part ) ,
5 ; number of orphans , 60 ; day , city and vil
lage schools , 39 ; number of pupils , between
500 and COO ; hospitals. 1. Thousands of
women are under Instruction.
Reports were also read as follows r Iowa
conference , by Mrs. L. W. Bryklt ; Missouri
conference , by Mrs. A. II. Proctor ; St. Louis
conference , by Mrs , T. H. Hagerty. In the
afternoon a larger audience was present than
In .the morning. Mrs. D. F. Sinclair read
an Interesting paper on the subject , "What
Doth It Profit ? " In which she showed the
reasons why the society was organized and
putting forth such efforts toward christian
izing the foreign countries. A few short
talks were made by young ladles who are
soon to leave for their mission posts , and a
devotional hour closed the afternoon session.
Miss Galloway , ono of the missionaries who
spoke yesterday , leaves shortly for Chun-
Kfjig , In went China , as deaconess , on half
pay. Mr.Meyer of St. Joseph , SIo. , Is among
these who are attending the meetings. His
daughter Is also to go as a missionary on half
pay , nnd he has agreed to pay that half , so
great Is his-Interest In the work. All the
missionaries sent out by the society are grad
uates of the training school In Chicago.
The attendance at this session of the so
ciety la the largest ever seen , and the dele
gates unite In saying that there was never
so Intense an Intcr.sl In the work.
In the veiling a large audience assembled
to hear the address of Miss Martha A. Day ,
a returned missionary. Riles Day had gone
to TopeUa , Kan. , to make an 'address and
was , unable to reach here In time for her
engagement , but her plac-a
- was very ac
ceptably filled by Miss Anna Kllcker of Mus-
catlne. Miss Elizabeth Goodwin of Des.
Molnes and Mrs. M. S. Huston , The flrsi
two are youns women destined for the for
eign missionary work , and all three are
talkers of unusual merit. One of the fea
tures of this afternoon's session will be the
reading , at 2:30 : o'clock , of greetings from
other missionary societies.

riirclmscd Property of a lingua Agent WheW
W n n s < 'linmor ,
CRESTON. In. , Oct. li-Spbctal.-A ( ) very
clever cnse of swindling has , Jusjt , .developed
here , .nucl , although ( t r ' , pV.mo"j'e vfaiaij , a
' '
year's standing1 , Harrier 'Richards , a' Grant
township- farmer , has Juat become1 nxvare
that he is a victim of misplaced confidence.
In August of last year Mr. Itlchanls pur
chased forty acres of new land In Grant
township , near Shannon City , and paid $75
< lown , receiving from 1' . W. Miller , ns ugent
for J. W. Itojrers , a contract that , upon
payment oC further sums In January of this
yiNir , a deed would be made and mortgage
taken for the deferred payments.
For some time past air. Klchards has
been trying to secure Ills deed , but has
been unable to hear .anything from Mr.
Ilogera , who gave his address as Inclcpend-
ence , ami at which place he 1ms been re-
peuteilly addressed. Recently Ulchards Inld
the matter before County Clerk Davenport
and asked him to write to Rogers , Mr.
Davenport , having been Rogers' agent at
one time. Davenport wrote Rogers ( it West
Union , his true address , nnd a reply came
denying any knowledge of nny contract for
the soJe of the property In question , or that
hi ; knew Miller or Richards , or had ever
given the former authority to sell or re
ceive any money from the latter.
This would appear to place Miller In a
very unenviable position , but W. A. Stone-
burner , a reliable farmer , was present at the
preliminary discussion of the trade and
says Rogcra. or a man claiming to be
Rogers , und the owner of the land , referred
Richards to Miller as his agent , with whom
he could close the deal. Thus It la seen that
Mr. Miller und Mr , Richards were actingIn
good faith , and the question now arises
whether or not the man claiming- be
Rogers was bogus or genuine ,

Indictments returned by the federal gram

Judge Shlras to Dubuque. The defendant
objected to the transfer , principally on the
ground that the court did not possess the
authority to make the transfer. The Judge
In makln ? the transfer , holds that , as the
act of congress creating the nbrthern dis
trict of Iowa and the divisions thereof does
not define where criminal cases be tried , I
Is within the power ot the court to name
the time and place of trial , . whether at a
