Important to Stock Men.

Fort DODGE, Ia, Jan. 2l.-fSpecial Tele-
gram to The BEE. 1.-THE supreme court of
Iowa has just rendered very important de-
csion, disposng of the question whether the
owners of unoccupied lands can recover
damages for trespass by stock in grazing
The decision is that damages can be recov-
cred. For years thousands of acres of
prairie land in Northwestern Iowa, owned
by eastern capitalists and corporations, have
been depended upon by stock raisers for fre G
forage, resulting in numerous snug fortunes
for stock raisers The encroachments of
settlers have made these lands valuable for
hay crops, and hundreds of suits were insti-
tuted against the stock raisers by the land
owners. The supreme courts decision was
rendered in the case of Harrington vs. Adam
son, appealed from Palo Alto county, and
settles the point involved in all suits that are
pending in the lower courts. The market
price of land will be greatly increased, as
result of the decision.

Discovery.


DEs MONIES Ia, Jan 2l.--[Special Tole
gram to THE BEE "A special from Mar
shalltown says that startling sensation has
just been uncovered there in the discovery
that wcllknown citizen had committed big.
amy. Mr.. j. b. Statler was well.known
insurance agent, with headquarters at this
place. He is the son of DR. Statlcr, and mas
borne the best of regulations. His wife is
the daughter of DIR. w. S. Mcbride, and is a
loveable woman in every way. Two children
were born to them, and theirs seemed to be a
model home. A few months ago he removed
to Wisconsin, leaving his wife and
babies in Marshalltown. The records
show that on November I, 1888, J. Stabler,
giving correctly his own and his partners
Names and making the usual oath that he
was an unmarried man, was married to Alice
Smart a beautiful girl about eighteen years
of are, living with her aunt, Mrs. a. Orton,
on Buffalo street, Milwaukee, The ceremony
was performed by Justice Gregory in the
presence of several witnesses.
1t seems that after his marriage he in
formed his new wife that he had formelv
been married, but was divorced. This led to
suspicion on her part, and subsequent in
quiry at Marshalltown, and then the eX-
posure of the whole crime. Marshalltown
society is greatly shocked over the affair
and great sympathy is expressed for the in
jured wife.

The GilIig-Rnrnntt Sui:.

New YORK, Jan. 2l.-Judge Patterson, in
the supreme court chambers to-day, heard
the arguments upon the application of Henry
f. Gillig, formerly manager Of the now de-
funct American exchange in Europe, for the
appointment of u receiver for the Booth
Barrett combination and for an accounting.
This is virtually Il revival of the old claim of
Gillig, who asserts that Barrett has not com
pleteu the payment of loan negotiated with
the American exchange four years ago
through Gilligs Intervention. 1t will be re
rassed year or two ago by suits and attach
ments served on him in several different
cities Colonel Robert lngersoll appeared
for the defendants, and made a general con
tention against the claim. The allegation
that Barrett was insolvent was character
lied as nonsenscal, as the actor is stated to
be worth S2OO,0O0 over ana above his liabili-
ties. Decision was reserved.

WILL UPHOLD THE TREATY.
The English Governments Attitude
On the Samnan Z ffnir.

LONDON, Jan. 2l.-lt is stated on trust
worthy authority that the British govern
ment has decided to uphold the treaty, by the
terms Of which European powers are pre-
cluded from obtaining, or attempt
ing to obtain the domain in
Samoa. The government has been
fully informed Of and shares in the United
States governments views on the subject.
1t is agreed that the action of the German
agents in Samoa is opposed to the the letter
and spirit of the treaty; that it violates
diplomatic etiquette, and endangers
good relations necessary for Europeans to
preserve when dealing with scmi-barbarous
nations. Dispatches to this effect have been
sent to Berlin.
Lord Salsbury's latest news from Apia is
of threatening nature. In consequence of
these advlceS the British fleet in the Pacific
will be increased Immediately by at least two
powerful vessels.
The Chronicles correspondent at Berlin
learns on good authority that Germany has
come to detinit understanding with the
United States with regard to Samoa.

LINCOLN, Neb, Jan. 9l.-[Special to THE

with individual senator's. Mr.. Brown is
opposing the bill directing the governor to

callers, and was occupied pretty much all

minutes now and then to dictate reply to
some letter. His mail continues to be loaded
down with applications and petitions for
small Offices which he finds no time to ex.

Among tho prominent out-of. town visitors
to-day was Hon. r. II. Carter, delegate-elect

TO politics, but TO territorial affairs. Judge
Prince says that the republicans of New
Mexico are unanimously for the early re-

this fact. An unconfrmcd report credits
Judge Prince with seeking the survcyorship

G.. X. Michael, of Brooklyn, a member of
the executive committee of the International

the recognition that organized labor desired
to secure in several departments of the gov
ernmont. He expresses himself as satisfied
with the interview.
&In connection with the cabinet gossip float
in nl,nns int ttpe Of biStn hno
been divulged. This is that when President
Garfield was making his cabinet he offered
General Harrison his choice of cabinet seats
excepting the state and treasury portfolios.
General Harrison did not care to leave the
senate, and suggested to General Garfield
that Governor Porter, who had just been
elected, would make an excellent cabinet
officer, whose appointment would please
Indiana. Garfield Immediately rendered
Governor Porter seat in his cabinet
but Porter likewise declines on the ground
vhat he felt it his duty to fill out his term as
governor. In addition to the gossip about
Porter now it may be safe to say that he
does not care to enter Harrison's cabinet but
it is stated that his desires will lie decidedly
in the direction of n foreign mission. AS
General Wallace has uncquivocaliy removed
his name from the discussion, 1t virtually
leaves Chairman Huston as the only prom-
nent cabinet aspirant in Indiana.
