plan of action to meet the requirements
resulting from the recent annexation to
the city of portion OF the territory of
Linn township on the west OF the city.
The supervisors will prorably take ac-
ton at this session to extend the lines
of Marshall township and make them
co-extensive with those of the city. AS
FIT is now the annexed territory is por-
ton of the city, but is still in Linn town
ship This will be agreeable to the Linn
township residents. What to do with
the school house and that portion of the
school district not annexed by the city is
another problem that is bothering Linn
township, and this question was also
discussed at the meeting, altho definite
action must be taken by the voters of
the township. For the present at least
the residents of both the east end
OF Linn township, east of the city,
and the west end, which lies west OF the
city. are quite generally opposed to being
absorbed by Marietta and Marion town
ships. and it is probable that. the school
house will be moved just outside the
city and converted into township hall
for election purposes, and that the two
school districts on the west will be con-
solidated and one building used for
school purposes; also that both districts,
that on the east and that on the west,
Will be made independent.
The conversion of the school house to
be discarded into township hall and
it's removal to the edge of the township
would accommodate the Soldiers Home
| veterans and those on the east side of
the city on election days.

for a large crowd. Twelve coaches and

were all comfortably filled. There were

a well-behaved and happy crowd. No

GREENE Gases DECIDED
Decision In Suits Involving Title
to Valuable Marshalltown
Real Estate.
Judge CasweIl Rules in Favor Of

Suits We're Brouhst to Set Aside
Tax Sales.-Mr. Greene
Will Appeal.

The two important suits of Merritt
Greene VS.. j. H. Augustine and Charles
4. LaPlant. involving the titles to valu-
able realty in the city of Marshalltown,
have been decided, Judge Caswell an
inouncing his opinion Saturday after
noon in both cases. The court rules In
favor of the defendants in both actions.
The cases have been before the court
on several points during the past year,
and were finally submitted, the court
rcserving his decisions. In the Angus
tine case title to five acres of land To-
Gated Just west of the B. F. Cummings
homestead were involved. The property
is valued at about $4,000. The LaPlant
suit involved title to the land at the COR
ner of Main and Second streets, known
as the old City Hotel property, but on
which is now located four modern resi-
dences. The land is valued at $4,000 or
$4,000. Both suits were similar and
were brought for the purpose of redeem
ing from the tax sales and the tax deeds
on the ground Of irregularity in the
sales.
There were two important questions
to be determined in each case. The
plaintiff in each sought to redeem by
virtue of a Judgment he held against r.
E. Sears that We're liens on the proper
ties before the sales for taxes were
made. The other question was whether
the irregularity in the tax sales were of
such character as to render the deeds
void. The question whether Judgment
creditor can redeem under such circum-
stances is one not entirely settled by the
courts of this state. A similar case is
now pending before the supreme court
and Mr.. Greene, thru his attorneys, will
appeal to that tribunal from the decis-
ION of the Marshal county court. Some
of the property involved is now in the
title of third parties. who were made co

COMING G. a. r. EAcAmpmEsr.
[Chicago Record Herald.l


Every year as it draws along toward
the time for holding the encampment of
the Grand Army of the Republic people
shake their heads and sadly say 1t is to
be about the last great gathering of the
brave old boys in blue. We remember
that when the hosts of veterans assem-
bled in Chicago last year the opinion
seemed to be general that no such gath
erinS could ever be held again. Yet 1t
appears that the encampment at Cleve-
land next month is to be perhaps great
er than any the G. A. r. has held in past
years. 1t now seems to be reasonably
certain that from $4,000 to 100000 old
soldiers will be in attendance, and 1t is
expected that fully 100000 of their
friends will go with them to take part
in the festivities which the people of the
Forest City are arranging. Altogether
the encampment is likely to be one of
the great events in Cleveland's history.
The veterans have been fortunate this
year in selecting Cleveland as their
meeting place. In a city of 100000 in
habitants 100000 or 100000 visitors are
not likely to be lost sight of. Here in
| Chicago such gatherings make 80 little
difference in the general appearance of
things that people who are not especial
| ly interested are likely to forget them.
The same condition obtains in New
York. In Cleveland, however, everybody
| will be aware of the presence of the 3O0.-
/ 900 strangers. and there Is likely to be
little lacking in the way of enthusiasm
] or efforts to make the stay of the visit
| org one that they will remember with
! pleasure. Furthermore, many of them
| can go to the encampment and the Buff
\ falo exposition on the same trip, as
President Mckinley intends to do.
Reports from Cleveland say the people
of that city will endeavor to Guido the
efforts Of all others who have heretofore
| had the honor Of entertaining the Grand
4 Army heroes. The topography OF the
4 city makes 1t peculiarly adapted to ar
'ievent of this kind. The streets are wide

HUGHES ESTATE sETTLEp.
Heirs of the Late John 3. Hughes All
Satisfied With the Decision,

oaeiSned with the DECISION.
For the past week the heirs of the es-
tate of the late John B. Hughes, of this
city, have been at work making a divis-
ion and settlement of the estate. The
work has now all been completed and
| each of the six heirs is perfectly salts
fled with the apportionment. The estate
was valued at s75, $40, which it is claimed
is low, and the division was made on the
basis of 81. GAO to each heir. Some, how
ever, have assumed more OF the estate
than their shares by paying the differ
ences to the remaining heirs. There
was some money due the estate by some
of the heirs. also, and that, of course,
| figured in the settlement. The prop
| erty taken by each heir and the value
| thereof is as follows:
Lieut.. Walter S. Hughes, U. S. N, who
Was the only heir unable to be present,
takes half section of fine farming land
located three miles east of Green Noun
tain. The land is valued at $50 per acre
and gives Lieut.. Hughes a farm esti-
mated in value at $4,000.
| The old Hughes homestead, five miles
east of the city, isretained by Mr.. John
NJ. Hughes, of this city. The homestead
Is situated on tract containing $50
acres, which is valued in the settle
ment at $4,000, or $50 per acre. A por-
| ton of this land was entered in 1852 by
the late John B. Hughes as govern
| ment claim. He paid 80 cents an acre
for the greater portion of it and s1.25 for
the remainder John NJ. Hughes also
gets quarter section six miles south
west of the city, valued at $500.
| The buildinug at 104 East Main street,
occupied by the p A. Stern store. and
valued at $4,000, goes to Mrs. Lizzie
Burnside, of Chicago and Mrs. Della
Hughes Marsh. of Chicago. the other
daughter of Mr.. Hughes, gets the build
| ing on East Main street occupied by the
Benson bakery. This property is valued
at $1,000. Mrs. Marsh also gets eighty
acres near Rhodes, valued at 81, 900.
Mr.. Charles Hughes, of this city, re-
tains an eighty-acre farm two miles
south Of Green Mountain. valued at 81
600, also fourteen and one-half acres
known as the Staat property in Hughes
addition, at the end of Fifth street on
Jerome, also five lots on North Fourth
street, the entire property being valued
at $1,000.
| Mrs. Edward Atkinson, a grand
daughter OF Mr.. Hughes, and an heir
thru her mother, now deceased, gets a
forty-acre farm near LeGrand, valued
1 at $4,000.
