PROPERTY VALUED AT NEARLY $600,000 Title to 15,000 Acres of Towa Farm Land Involved—some Delicate Questions in ent to Be Ad- Judieated. What for years has been known among real estate men In this part of the west as ‘‘the crazy man's land,” {8 now being shaped for a general clearing up of title in | court, There are about 15,000 acres involved, embracing some of the choicest land in Towa, scattered along from Missourl to Min- nesota, there being, howeve none of it in Omaha or Council Bluffs, and but one tract in this county. The story of the title, when stripped of the legal phrascology, Is an interesting one. It starts back in the early 60s, when John Irwin, an active, vigorous pusher from Ohio, with keen foresight as (o the possibilities of the then virgin west, came into Iowa and an entering land on military bounty warrants. He gathered up a mass of patents, securing the title to many broad acres, and then settled back into a life 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 bu 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 in- creased valuation have gone on, and yet the demented and eccentric old man has ‘made no voluntary relinquiskment of his title by deed or otherwise, but sir let 1t sleep, Joho Irwin has for years been a familiar character in Omaha, his eccentricities and evident unsound mental condition attracting attention, although at all times harmless nd peaceable in his manner. In deals in- volving any of the land under his patents there has always been recog d 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 be- longing to ‘‘the crazy man.” Some have at- tempted to get him to sign quit ciaims, but he has sullenly refused, and those desiring to clear up their titles have in some cases gone into court and got decrees, These de- crees are likewise t be attacked, In October of last year the old man died in Nebraska City, leaving three children Eliza B. Hawley of Nebraska City, Sarah F D. Irwin, whose home in is Nebraska. The heirs have gathered up the old man's papers, there being a great box filled with patents, warrants, deeds, etc., some recorded and some tossed in without, and placed the d ments in tho hands of R. S. Hall of Om: and Finley Burke of Council Bluffs, who have been going through the musty mess and hunting up records and facts fo veral monihs, until now they have cleared up the that they can read their title clear to about 15,000 acres of choice land. Some of those who occupy these lands have already recognized the claims of the heirs, and lave setiled with them. Others are waiting until convinced by the courts. The papers are being drawn up now, and are to be filed within a few days, by which a hun- dred or more suits will be started for the purpose of securing for the Irwin heirs what they deem their rights. These suits are all of a similar nature, they being for the pur- pose of securing the right to redeem the lands which have been sold years ago for taxes. The right to redeem will be pressed ors, but that Irwin was insane at the time the tax deeds were given, In these suits tender will be made for the amount of the tuxes, penalties, interest, ete., wk | of year advanced in v sum to an alue from a merely nominal rage of probably $40 an acre.

Chrissma rposes a Suag in the Way of the Manawa Offielals, A petiton was filed In the district court yesterday by James S, Chrissman, making the town of Manawa, its mayor, T. A. Wright, Willlam Ballou, recorder, and Daniel Sheets, treasurer, defendants, It alleges that the defendants, for the purpose of ob- taining money fraudulently and 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 §4,000 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 issuing the warrants, A bond of §300 was filed, and Judge Macey is- sued the writ as requested For some time past a suit has been pending in the district court for the separation of a large amount cf property now included in tha | town limits, from the town proper, in order !lhul the owners may not have to pay out their money to support officrals who, it is claimed, do not work except to draw their salaries. This suit Is likely to come up for a trial at the present term of court, and it Is claimed by Chrissman’s altorneys that the so-called “'salary grab” is made just at this time in order that the men whose property is to be set out from the rest of the town | Will_have to pay their share of the salary | which the officiais and ex-officials did not get It is said that everybody who ever held an lution.

One minority of the occasional man that appear: the evening. The day was opened at 0 o'clock with a consecration service, led by Mrs, L. on resolutions, appropriations, and publica- tion. These committees will report today. Mrs. BE. K. Stanley, who has occupled the nosition of treasurer of this society for the past twenty-three years and has never re ceived any pay outside of the knowledge that she is doing good, read her annual report which showed the following receipts for the past year, by conferences: lowa conference, $4.2 Tpper Towa, $4,440.24; Des Moines. $5,9. rthwestern lowa, $3,284.30; St Louis, $2,284.30; Missouri, $1,976.56; Central Missouri, $16.25; German work, $800.25; gen eral miscellaneous, $555; total, $24, bal- ance from last year, $2,805.76; disbursements $24,607.37, leaving a balance in the treasury of $2, Mrs, M. S. Huston’s report as correspond- ing secretary was a long but interesting re port of the work done in the entire foreign field by the missionaries under the direction of this branch. It 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 fritl In northern China there is a good deal of anx- lety felt just now by reason of the conflict between China and Japan. ‘“The Japanese | have determined to capture Peking, and talk | of beheading the foreigners is common,” said the report, “but Miss Frances Wilson clos her last letter with ‘God reigns; we tru: Him,'” Miss Wilson, whose home Is in Corning, and who has passed the last five years on the mission field, has been recalled on account of the danger, and the society still has three missfonaries in China, work- ing in the central and southern portion, where there is no danger of violence, A fine report was given of the work of Miss Fannie Perkins of Indlanola, who is now at the head of a large orphanage at Rangoon 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 ladies of Iowa and on the ground not that the heirs were min- | Mi: sourl who are interested in the work of the society have not labored in vain. e following shows the way in which the | $25.000 contributed by the twa states during ch amount | to no inconsiderable sum by the accumulations | . but on the other hand the land has | tho past year has been spent: American missionaries, 14; bible women, 50; native teachers, 57; training schools, 5; number of pupils, 61; boarding schools (in part), 25; number of pupils, 218; phanages (in part), 5; number of orphans, 60; aay, city and vil. lage schools, number of pupils, between 500 and 600; hospitals. 1.

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 ladies who are 800 to leave for their mission posts, and a devotional hour closed the afternoon session. Miss Galloway, one of the missionarics who spoke yesterday, leaves shortly for Chun- King, in west China, as deaconess, on half pay. Mr.Meyer of St. Joseph, Mo., Is among those who are attending the meetings. His daughter is also to go as a missionary on halt pay, and he has agried to pay that half, so great is his interest in the work. All the mis:ionaries sent out by the society are grad- uates of the training school in Chicago. The attendance at this session of the so- ciety is the largest ever seen, and the dele- gates unite in saying that there was never 80 intense an inter:st in the work In the vening a large audience assembled to hear the address of Miss Martha A. Day, Towa a returned missionary, Miss Day had gone | | to Topeka, Kan., to make an address and was unable to reach here in time for her engagement, but her plice was very ac- ceptably filed by Miss Anna Eilcker of Mus- catine, Miss Elizabeth Goodwin of Des Moines and Mrs. M. S, Huston, The first two are young women destined for the for- eign missionary work, and all three are talkers of unusual merit. One of the fea- fternoon’s session will be the reading, at 2:50 o'clock, of greetings from other missionary societies.

W, Miller, as agent for J. W. Rogers, a contract that, upon payment of further sums in January of this vear, a deed would be made and mortgage taken for the deferred payments Kor some time past Mr. Richards has been trying to secure his deed, but has been unable to hear anything from Mr. Rogers, who gave his address as Independ- ence, and at which place he has been re- peatedly addressed. Recently Richards laid the matter before County Clerk Davenport and asked him to write to Rogers, Mr, Davenport, having been Rogers' agent at one time. 'Dav t wrote Rogers at West Union, his trus y and a reply came h any knowledge 'of any contract for the sale of the property in question, or that he knew Miller or Richards, or had cver given the former authority to sell or re- celve 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 Rogers, or a man claiming to be and {he owner of the land, referred s to Miller as his agent, with whom d close the deal. Thus It is seen that Miller and Mr, Richards were ac faith, and the question now a whether of not the man chiming to be Rogers was bogus or genuine, Smallpox Mot Under Control, Ia., Oct. 12.—8peclal.)—It was hoped that they had the smalipox under con- trol in Tubor and that it would be kept contined o the fam'ly in which it originated, but during the past week four new cases have developed.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Ia., Oct. 12—The eight indictments returned by the federal grand jury here against Dr. Kessel of Cresco for pension_frauds were today transterred by Judge Shiras 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 making the transfer, holds that, as thé act of congress creating the northern dis. trict of lowa and the divisions thereof does not define where criminal cases be tried, It Is within the power of the court to name the time and place of trial, whether at a regular or speclal term or at the usual place for holding court or otherwise, subject only to the right of the defendant to & speedy trial within the district wherein the offense charged was committed, Pecullar Kira Near Hornlek, SIOUX CITY, Oct. 12.—~8pecial Telegram.) —Near the little town of Hornick, twenty miles from this city, the ground is burning and now an area of 320 e¢ es is coverad from SIX inches to as many fegt with ashes.
