Judge Thomas Confirms the Title in an
Important Land Case.
HUMBOLDT, Feb. 22-Judge Thomas
has decided the famous Owl Lake Ease
in favor of George r. Pearsons, who
drained the lake and received title
from the county. Attorney General
Remley INTERVIEWED in a private suit to
assert the claim of the state to the
land or the lake as it was. The court
holds that inasmuch as the state
applied to the secretary of the interior,
submitted proofs and had the land
patented to the state as a swamp, it
cannot now deny that it was swamp
and claim it in its sovereign capacity,
as it seeks to do. The land was
patented to the slale and by it to the
county, which made a contract with
Pearsons, by which he drained it and
received several Thousand acres of
land in payment. The object of the
states intervention is to protect the
lakes of the state for the use of the
people. Judge Thomas intimates in
his opinion that there may be an
appeal from the decision of the secre-
tary of the interior in the federal
courts. Attorney General Remley
says he will appeal to the state and
United States supreme courts.

IOWA PATENT OFFICE REPORT.

DIES MONIES, Feb. 19.-In the revised
rules of practice in the United States
patent office bearing date Of February
0, 1897, occurs the following: 1T is
The design of the constitution and the
patent laws to secure to the inventor
not that which is a matter of common
right, nor the property of another, but
what he has himself created. The
duty of the office is to grant nothing
which already belongs to the domain
of the public, but, on the other hand,
not to withhold from the inventor any
portion of the full benefit of his
invention. Its function is to draw the
line with even justice between the
two" A patent for an invention is
synonymous with a patent or deed for
land. The latter fixes the meter and
bounds Of the land SO the owner knows
where it is relative to adjoining land.
A patent for an invention points out
and distinguishes it from other inycn-
ions and subject matter relating to
the same art to which it belongs.
Surveyors sometimes vary in fixing
corners and litigation results. The
scope of a claim to a patent is some
times disputed in court. But there
is much less litigation in regard
to titles to inventions than
there is about real estate.
Valuable information about obtaining,
valuing and selling patents sent free
to any address.

the rivers are on a rampage all through

eastern Ohio. Great quantities of ties
and many hogs and cattle are carried
down on the current. Considerable
anxiety is felt over the rise of the

indicates the danger point. The river
has reached forty-seven feet, rising
seven inches in an hour. All those
along the river front are moving.
