Of no exeat. which had restrained the de-
parture of Col. r. S. lnnes from the sta'e
since Friday, was dismissed before Judge
Young. in the district court, by supulatloh.
The statement was made to the court that
an amicable settlement between tne
,,or+ies to the great King-Rem-
incton suits had been made.
The adjustment as between Col. King and
F. Menage was perfected FRIDAY last,
hnt the arrival of Col Innes, who Increased
his claim. it is understood, Temporarily sus-
pended negotiations. Innes and his at1or-
news at least insinuated, If they dld not
exnlicitly state, that he Shouid
demand 5000. 600 instead of 500, OOO-
the figures to which he had heretofore stuck
as compensation for his services AS
Tnnes, dealings had been with Menage,
whatever was to be allowed him was recK-
oned in ON Menage'S side OF the SlaUe' al
though his claims were based, 1t Is unoer-
stood. in a measure upon the circumstance
that he happened to have in his possession
como $500 600 in securities belonging 10
Kino. The writ which prevented 1nneS
from leaving the state. and thus delaying
settlement. was obtained upon this asSer-
ton. At all events
AN AAuCABLE ADJUSTMENT
of the differences leading to this much-com-
,,Iicatad s,lit has been arrived at, and an ac-
counting which would have been veXatlon
and delay. has been aVerted. Wnat
is still better for the community,
fhe settlement insures all purchasers TO
lots included in property involved per-
feet titles. Col. King and his attor-
news Yesterday refused to furnish any
statement or estimate as to the amount tnaU
would revert to him and his wife Dy tne
terms of the settlement COL King, Wneh
interviewed last evening, SAID:
eyes n basis of settlement has been ar
-,zod Of which includes all parties and all
interests concerned, and which is satisfactory
to myself and to Mr.. Menage, in so far as any
settlement adverse to his interests couIo De'
The settlement is one which doubtless recog-
niZes the titles of every purchaser, ana Will
resuIt in validating all titles to the property
IN 5isnrte The late claims of Col. Innes,
which lead to temporary halt in the nego-
tiations were entirely w1thdraWn. He
gets nothing That's the long and short OF it.
What are the terms of the settlement? Wen,
it includes the return to me OF large securl-
ties, principally mortgages. ana sucn ianos as
ties. Yes the title remains with Menage,
while l receive my equities. Mrs. King also
received back her property.
DON'T CARE TO SAY
how much this will all amount to. In fact, L
don't know am going to Chicago tonight
to recuperate. The strain of the past few
(ays upon my nervous system has been very
severe and my physician advises change of
scene for me Immediately. BY the way, Col.
Juues is to be on the same train, and pre-
dict that we shall have pleasant journey to-
pether lam simply delighted that settlement
has been made and an accounting averted.
As it is now, the titles OF purchasers are not
affected In the event OF an accounting
this would not have been the case, and should
have had the walls Of widows and orphans In
nv ears. Several hundred persons have
come to me since the suits were instituted
filled with anxiety as to whether the titles of
the lots they have purchased would be invali-
dated in case won. ! have asked them
If thew had not heard of the litigations before
they bought, and they have answered yes.
but have invariably said that they were as
sured that the suits would not amount to
ANYTHING To have acknowledged their titles
would have been to give away nearly all my
property but this has all been averted now,
thank God Menage is worth nearer s., OO0,-
600 than he is LOCO. 600. and am very glad
to find it so. You can say that the settlement
does not in the least affect his financial stand
ing"
WHAT THE KINGS REALLY GET.
From other sources it was learned that
Col. King is to receive all mortgages and
liens upon the property in dispute, the titles
of which are. however, to remain as they
now stand. in MenageS name. MeGage is
to receive as his share what he can realize
from the sale of tile lahdS over and above
the mortgages A close estimate Of the
total value of the mortgages and
various securities OF that ma
ture which revert to Col. King
is 81. 600, O00-a smaller figure. by the way,
than has been generally anticipated. These
cover about 1,5OO lots lying abOutLakes Cal
houn and Harriet. which are included in
RenIington's Second and Calhoun Park ad-
ditions. Col. King is also to receive back
such lots as have not as yet been sold to
other parties, and also retains the buildings
of the old Lyndale farm on Lake Harriet.
Mrs. Kings property, which she receives
back, is estimated to be worth at least
$500, 600, and consists of half block loca-
ted near the old Manitoba depot on Wash
ington avenue north; ten acres on NicOllet
avenue, adjoining and south of the
E. S. Corser property, and number
of the lots included in the ten acres living
adjacent to the residence property Of j. W.
Johnson. A fair estimate of what Mr.. and
Mrs. King will jointly receive is round
$4,000, 600.
WHAT THE LAWYERS GET
is a matter of conjecture. Of course
Col. King is inclined to be generous.
and feels that he owes the turn CT fortune
in his favor largely to the legal efforts of
Col. Ripley. Senator Van Voorhis. of New
York. and n. B. Bryant, of Boston. who
were his attorneys. Especially is this true
OF Col. Ripley. who worked the case up
from the start, and has practically devoted
the past three years to it. AT any rate, it
is anticipated that if Col. King gets off
with paying his lawyers less than S10,-
GOO he will be doing remarkably we'll.
