Big Railroad Suit in Iowa.

Perhaps the most important case ever tried
in Iowa, if considered with respect to the
amount of money involved is that which will
be tried in the United States court at Dubuque,
tins week. The following ls a brief history Of
the case: The action of the second mort
gagees to procure the right to redeem the
first mortgage on the Burlington, Cadar
Rapids and Northern, revived it. In granting
the decree of foreclosure to the first
mortgages some years ago Judge Grant
of Davenport failed to provide for the
payments OF the second mortgage bonds, ex-
cept as affording room for future trouble. The
error of Judge Grant was not considered seri-
Gus at the time, as the second mortgage bonds
were then worth scarcely anything. Suisse
quently the first mortgages built up the road,
and il is now said to be worth SIS, DOC, 300. AZ
ter the road acquired it's value, the Chicago &
Northwestern quietly proceeded to buy up the
second mortgage bonds far little or nothing. 1t
is the real plaintiff in this case. Judge Hub
bard of Cedar RAPIDS is the attorney for the
plaintiff.

Government and Land Robbers.

At Omaha, in the case of the United States
government vs.. The Brighton Ranch Com
pany Judge Brewer, of the United States cir
cult court, has rendered a decision that the
company has fenced in about 5000 acres of
land belonging to the government. SUIT was
brought by the latter to compel the com
pany to tear down the fence. Tn de-
cision of Judge Brewer in effect is that the
Brighton Ranch company hasn o right to con-
struct fences upon government land and the
government had absolute right to have the
fence removed. This decision settles the law
in this circuit that cattlemen have no right to
enclose government lands for hcrding purposes,

t~hree-yeaps old, and it is said that he
begins TO have his doubts about ever
having the honor of occupying the
British throne. The life of his mother,
Queen Victoria has been remarkably
prolonged already, but there is no rea-
son, save increasing age and ordinary
infirmit5es, for apprehending her de-
cease for several years. The son of the
Prince OF Wales, in the line Of direct
succession from his father to the throne,
is already of age, and will probably
reach that exalted station long before
he attains the present age of his

ton to young men seventeen to twenty
