MANY TITLES CROWDED.
Surprising Discovery by the City En-.
gineer at Clinton.

Special to Republican.
Clinton, Jan. 16.-City Engineer Chase
While making survey a day or two
ago, made most surprising discovery
He learned that every person along one
of certain streets, thickly populated
is a "squatter," altho they purchased
their homes number of years ago and
supposed they had clear titles. The city
engineer says their lots extend twenty
six feet in the street and some of the
houses are ten feet on the street. The
mistake. he says. was made many
years ago when the south portion of the
city was plated and on account of the
wide street. originally eighty feet, the
error was not noticed. There are nc
records to show that the original plat
was ever altered and some extensive
litigation is promised.

EAGLE GROVE HAS TROUBLES.
Temporary Truce in Councils Fight
With Electric Company.

Special to Times Republican,.
Eagle Grove, Jam. 16.-The city coun-
ell and the Eagle Grove Electric Com
pany have been at swords points for the
past thirty days or more. The company
first refused to turn on the incandescent
lights which illuminate the residence
portion of the city because the council
declined to pay the increase on the pre-
vious rates which were claimed by said
company to be unremunerative. Ths
council next responded to the refusal by
ordering said company to turn off the
ere lights in the business part of the
city. This the electric company did. And
the inconvenience to the public was
thought by the merchants to damage
trade. So the merchants at called
meeting patched up temporary truce
between the electric company and the
city council and the lights have since
all been turned on and matters go as
merry as marriage bell temporarily.
What the next turn will be 1t is diffi-
cult to say.

Of the good work which the city has
been doing for Uncle Sam we are to

tr and will have much better accommo-
dations than the old ore. Postmaster
Wi1elan has been instructed to receive
bids for the new building. which is to be
finished by July /, 1902. so the change
which the people of Baskerville have
long wished for will soon be made. There
will probably be some competition in re-
gard to the location of the new building,
but as the carrier system is bound to
come sooner or later the location will not
cut much figure.
