Dee Moines. Sept 3.-The land d.
partmsnt Of the department OF the IN
terior has decided the contest for the
title to about 1900 acres Of land In
Palo Alto county. which in the govern.
ment survey was included enormously
within the meandsr lines OF Lost
Island and Trumbell Lakes. 1t has de-
cided that this land belongs in part TO
the counties under the school land
grant and in part to the Milwaukee
railroad under its grant, excepting
only one tract OF 100 acres, which is
awarded to a settler. The land has
been disposed of by both benefciarles
in large part, and the action OF the
department is merely confirmation OF
title.
In the Sac county cases in which the
Northwestern roads land department
is claiming title to sixteen forty acre
tracts, the evidence has just been con-
cluded and a decision has not been
rendered This is case in which the
state claimed the land as swamp land
and disposed of its title through the
American Emigrant company to farm
ers now living on tracts. The claim
is that while the land was listed as
swamp land the claim was never con-
frmed by the department Of the inter-
ior, and that In reality is not swamp

The fellow shot twice at Policeman

within four inches of his head, and
heard the other officer hurrying up
behind him. Policeman Malm already
had fired two shots.

Dubuque, Sept. 5.-Judge Shiras yes
terday decided case Of long stand
ing in the courts. II was that OF Jesse
Britt and John Britt VS.. John Meister-
ling. The action is one to quiet tit's
to realty in Dickinson county. the dis
pute arising out of the re-adjustment
of the land grant In aid of the Sioux
City and st. Paul Railway company.
The plaintiffs claim their right upon
the homestead settlement laws and the
defendant upon his purchase from tn,
railroad In good faith. The plaintiffs
claim that the land does not fall within
the limit OF the grant. but as the land
department has settled that question
the court cannot investigate it, ami
the only matter OF dispute left for the
courts decision is which party has
prior right to the land. Meisterling
bought the land from the company in
1887. paying S10.50 per acre, and the
compliments entered in possession of
the land and resided thereon confirm
ously from 1890. The court holds that
Meisterling was an innocent purchase r
Of the land, and therefore is entitled
to enter into possession of the land.

Des Moines. Sept. 5.-Charles Mar
tin, administrator of the estate of Will
liam Bass, killed at the plant of the
Des Moines Edison company, April,

damages. Judgment for $4,000 is de-.
manded.
Bass, lineman in the employ of
the company, was at work on the in.
terror of the building on the morning
of his death. It is claimed he had
climbed to the top of a step ladder
and was in the act of repairing wire
which he supposed was dead, when he
was thrown from the ladder to the
floor. He was dead before assistance
could be rendered. r..
The company claimed at the time
Bass did not touch live wire, but that
his death was due to heart failure.
The coroner's jury held otherwise,
however, rendering a verdict to the
effect that he came to his death
through contact with heavily charged
metal or wires.
