The latest turn in the famous legal
controversy over the property of the
Iowa Homestead is said tosl1e satisfae-
tory to MIR. Pierce the manager. When
the corporation known as the Home
stead Company went out of existence
last June Pierce discharged S. F. Stew
art, who has long been advertising man
sager IN charge of the eastern business.
Stewart had contract with the COM
panN for8his position at a good salary
and he was half owner. There was also
an agreements in reference to the sale of
Z the property Stewart, who was for
merly deputy auditor of state brought
suit to compel the carrying out Of the
agreement and 10 restrain Pierce from
cutting off his salary. The district court
here has just refused to grant per-
Jlanent injunction in the case, thus de-
Gliding that at the expiration of tbs
company Charter the contracts made.
under 1t We're no longer binding. But the
court did order the property sold in ac-s
cordance. With the agreement and
receiver Will be appointedto conduct the
business and make disposal of the same.
This leaves Mr.. Pierce in control pena-
ing the inevitable appeals and proba Bile
final disposal of the property and he
will continue to draw his salary while.
Stewart win get none. The fight be-
tween Pierce and Stewart followed the
older controversy between Pierce and.
Wallace for control of the Homestead.
In the meantime the business will go
on 1t has been but comparatively a.
few years since the old Homestead was
bought by a couple OF young lawyers for
5000 and they sold the property as soon
as they could for fear they would lose
something. Now the property is one Of
the most valuable newspaper properties
in Dies Mones. The Homestead building
is not included in the order of sale. 1T
is certain this movement will clear up
the entire litigation in time.
