Mason City, Feb. August G..
Linhoff, husband of Mrs. l.. X. Lin
hon, charged with the murder of Ed
win c. Bromley. was on the stand all
of yesterday in the Linhoff trial. His
testimony was repetition OF the
stories Of previous witnesses in

detail of the various squabbles which
have wrought up the trouble between
the families in the past.
The only sensational incident of the
afternoon was when he told of the
killing of Bromley by Mrs. Linhoff.
He alleged that Bromley made a rush
at him and that following Bromley
came Mrs. Bromley with a club. He
says that Mrs. Bromley threw the
club and that 1t struck him upon the
head. momentarily stunning him.
When he recovered his senses he found
himself clinched with Bromley and
his wife opened fire with the revolt
yer. He did not know at the time
how many ihots were fired.

WANTS THE COMMON LAW.
Hartman Has Bill Which Is Likely
to Meet With Opposition.


Des Moines, Feb. 7.-Senator Har.
riman has introduced bill proposing
to change the law relating to the con-
troll of surface water. Senator Har-
riman wants the civil law which now
governs this matter in Iowa, changed
to the common law, and means to
take a firm stand for such change.
His measure, he admits may meet with
opposition, but he thinks 1t is right.
At present the civil law governing the
disposition of surface water makes 1t
impossible for the owner OF any land
to drain its surface in such a manner
that II will be to the detriment of
neighbor's property. That is. he is
not allowed to make the drainage in
such a way that the water will empty
onto adjoining land beyond his own
boundaries.
Senator Hartman wants this law
changed to what is known as the COM
mon law, that any owner of property
may drain the surface in a manner to
suit his own convenience, even though
it may be to carry such surface water
onto the land of another. He has OBJ
tanned information regarding the
states which now have the common
law on this subject, and has number
of arguments which he considers over
whelmingly in favor of the bill. Among
the states which now have the law
which Senator Hartman is seeking
to get for Iowa, are Connecticut. Indi-
ana, Kansas, Maine. Massachusetts,.
New Hampshire, New York. Rhode
Island, Vermont and Wisconsin. The
measure will unqestionably meet with
opposition. 1t was referred to the
committee on public lands.

cenate Judiciary Committee Intro


cenate judiciary Committee Intro
duees Important Bill.
Des Moines, Feb. IA bill that
created no small stir among the law
yers of the senate and that is far
reaching in its possible effect, has
peen introduced from the senate judic-
iarv committee. Some time ago de-
cision of the supreme court was made
to the effect that in cases where the
wife had conveyed the power of at
torney to her husband or vice versa,
to dispose of a dowry interest in land,
and he had sold such land, such sale
was inavlid.
The decision 7vcited the deepest IN
terest for the reason that a great
amount of land has been disposed of
in precisely this way and enormous
interests are at stake. The bill intro
duced proposes only to invalidate the
title where the husband who has dis
posed of the land is still living. The
bill is entitled:
A bill for an act to validate certain
conveyances of real estate in which
the husband or wife conveyed the con-
llngent dover interest of the other
spouse.
1t reads: mo conveyance hereto.
fore made, wherein the husband or
wife conveyed or contracted to con.
vey the contingent dover interest OF
the other spouse. shall be held invalid
because the same controvenes the pro-
visions of section 3154 of the code and
all such conveyances are hereby legal
lied and made effective, provided:
That this act shall not affect titles
where the dover interest has already
vested prior to the taking effect OF
this act and that this act shall not
affect the right of parties in any pend
| ing litigation"

FuMleATE ALL IOWA MAIL.
Secretary Board of Health Notified
Postmaster General of Smallpox.

Des Moines. Feb. 10.-Secretary ].
F. Kennedy, of the state board of
health, has indited a letter to Post
master General H. C. Payne. at Wash
ington. d. c., notifying that official
that small pox conditions in Iowa are
alarming; that the disease exists in
every part of the state; that 1t is
spread over wide areas; that the areas
are constantly growing. and that the
authorities appear to be unable to
cope with 1t. DR.. Kennedy enclosed
resolution. passed by the board at
its last meeting, requesting all post
masters in the state to be vaccinated.
The board expects general order for
the fumigation of Iowa mail to issue
from the Washington authorities. 1t
is impossible to estimate the millions
us dollars loss that Iowa will suffer
from the small pox agitation and ex-
aggeration.
Respecting the Des Moines situa-
ton, the state board passed resolu-
ton giving the city seventeen days in
which to do business In suppressing
small pox in this city. A committee
composed of Linn, Powers and Nc
Kiveen was appointed to keep tab on
Des Moines. The bill drawn by At.
torney General Mullan at the instance
of the board, giving it specific and
full power to interfere in Des Moines
or any other place in which the local
authorities we're not equal to the small
pox situation, has not been introduced
in the legislature as was expected.
