Des Moines. May 2G.-The Iowa SUI
preme court last week disposed of an
other of the multitude of cases involv-
ing land titles growing out of the
swamp land complications of the state.

Stuart claimed the land by more than
twenty years possession on railroad
grant title. The court decided for
Stuart and held there had been no
proper foreclosure of the mortgage.
Another phase of the swamp land
matter is that OF the claim for indem-
nifty against the government now being
pressed in Washington by Attorney
Evans, of this city, representing certain |
wealthy capitalists who are owners of
the indemnity claims. This also in
wolves the fortunes of the American
Emigrant Company and its swamp land
dealings. The Emgirant company had
purchased the swamp lands of many
Iowa counties and was engaged in
placing emigrants thereon. When it
tailed the remaining land went to Saw
cry and Callahan, and as they sold the
and they retained the indemnity claims
Of the counties. These claims now ag-
sregate about a half million dollars.
The legislature last winter passed a
esolution indorsing a bill in congress
