Dubuque. July 2-Judge Shras as
entered judgment in the O'Brien coun-
ty land case. the decision being in fa-
vor of the complainant.
The case in which the opinion is ren-
Gered is that of William Benner VS.. III.
C. Lane-being a suite to quiet title to
Il certain tract of land in Bren coun-
ty The plaintiff Benner settled on the
land in 1854. for the purpose of max
ing home for himself and family; he

that time, bu. the application was re-
fused, Benner still continued in pos
session of the land. and again in 1896,
when the lands We're declared open to
settlement he applied to the department
for title. setting up his righU to title.
AT this time II. c. Lane, the defendant.
claimed the same tract of land, by vir-
tue of a transfer, to him, of q contract
of sale, made by the Sioux City & st.
Paul Railway Company to one T.. c.
Brown; the dispute was referred to the
Register and receiver at Des MoineS who
held in favor of plaintiff; the question
was then appealed to the commissioners
of general land office, who affirmed the
decision, put upon further appeal to the
secretary of the interior, the decision
was reversed and the title was declared
to- be in favor of III. c. Lane. The ques-
ton thus presented was submitted for
his decision.
The opinion written is lengthy Orc,
and deals with all questions of the law
fully, the conclusion reached being that
Benner's claim was a prior claim; he
settled on the land in 1884, with the
purpose of making a homestead there
on; he continued in possession of tn"
land, making the improvements there
on which mark the homestead; he had
made the proper offer of legal fees, etc,
to the department, and had done moth
ing that would indicate his desire to
take possession of the land unlawfully
or in fraud of any rights; while on the
ether hand the defendant knew when
he took the transfer of title that Ben
rer was in possesson; he took the land
for purely speculative purposes: and
could have known by reasonable re-
search that the railroad company hav-
ing never earned the lands in question
bad no right or title thereto and conse-
quently could give no clear title thereto.
Under these circumstances, and by viz
tue of the laws governing the home
stead settlements, the court holds that
William Benner is entitled to the pos
session of the land.
The court quotes the supreme court
in reference to settlers as follows: Tho
policy of the federal government in fla
vor of settlers upon public lands has
ever been liberal. 1t recognizes their
superior equity to become purchasers
of limited extent of land, compre-
hending their Improvements over that
of any other person"

RULE FOR COMMITTEEMAN.
Mason City Man to Try for the Fourt
District Place.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, July 2.-It is understood
here that Duncan Rule, of Mason City,
will be a candidate for member of the
republican state central committee
from the Fourth district. Mr.. Rule will
be pitted against w. L. Turner, of New
Hampton, the present member of the
committee, who is a candidate for re-
election. He will also have opposition
from County Auditor j. G. Hempel, of
Elkader.
Mr. Rules friends have been looking
forward to his election as committee
man since it was settled he would not
succeed in making any serious impress
sion on Congressman Haugen. Thomas
A. Way, of Mason City, and all the poll
ticians in Cerro Gordo who supported
Rule. are anxious to see him succeed
Turner. In Fayette county the dele
gates to the state convention are said
to favor Rule. In Mitchell the same
claim is made. An embarrassing fea-
ture to Rule and his friends is the cam
didacy of Mr.. Hempel. Hempel's friends
III Clayton expected to support Rule
rather than Turner, but are anxious to
have Hempel elected. This will weaken
Rule and strengthen Turner.

Fourteen Saloons at Sioux City.
Special to Times Republican.
Sioux City, July 2.-Thursday morn

Sioux City saloonkeepers for alleged
violation of the Martin law.
The officers and members of the An
ti-Saloon League have been in session
mapping out the mode of procedure.
II. e. Garter has been chosen county
superintendent of the league.
The officers of the league state they
have EMPLOYED some of the best legal
talent in the city to aid them in pros
ecuting the cases, and that from now
on it is to be war; and bitter war, to
the end. Not member of the league
would breathe the name of prescribed
saloonkeeper.
1--WE have been instructed by our at
torneys not to breathe the matter to
any one" said one of the league Off

lie with the men who are implicated,
and with the attorneys who are to con-
duct the prosecution. we would be Civ
ing them an opportunity to escape, and
We do not propose to do any such
thing. This 1 can say" said one of the
league members, that the blow will fall
in some unexpected places, 1 imagine,
and it only remains for those who are
guilty to beware.
1--WE now have the matter we'll in
hand. and l am confident that we have
evidence enough to convict every de-
PENDANT"
When asked what were some of the
alleged violations to be charged, the
officer stated that nearly every section
of the law was dead letter with many
of the saloons in Sioux City.
