FAMOUS CASE SETTLED
The Stevenson Fee Litigation Comes to
An End.
pecial to Times-Republican~

Special to Times Republican
Independence, Dec. S30.-The famous
J: Stevenson case is ended. The an
nouncement will come like shock to
many persons who probably never hop
ed for final settlement of the long
drawn out litigation. Judge Franklin
G. Platt, OF Waterloo, has just filed his
decision with the district clerk, in
which he grants ths contending attor-
neys $500 in fees and expenses. The
case should now be generally consider
ed closed, but future developments are
not wholly unexpected.
It viii be remembered that the now
celebrated Stevenson case was begun
Oser ten years ago, when David Stew
enson. wealthy New Yorker, died
: leaving property valued at $4,000 to
three trustees and administrators. The
property. consisting OF a farm of 240
acres. forty eight acres of timber and
twenty-eight town lots in Jesup, was
already and has been occupied for a
number OF years by Catherine. Thomas
and Martin Stevenson. The occupants
contested their possession and Won
their suit in the lower courts. Cook &
Leach, New York attorneys. presented
q bill for 5000, which was considered
excessive and the case was given the
attorneys noted above.
The original value of the property
has long ago been eaten up by the
cost OF litigation, no word of which the
real parties to the action have ever
heard Several attorneys and one de-
1endant in the case had died several
years ago. and the attorneys fought
the case as thsir amusement. The ac-
tion has elected Widespread attention
in this section of the country and
many persons VIII be interested In
knowing the outcome.

Ottumwa Dec 3O.--Arrangement IS

for the new Iowa Baseball league which:
will be composed of Ottumwa. Musca-

Of the league The organization will
be completed tonight.
Probably on account of the fact thu.
Davenport and Rock Island are in the

Moline was not considered as posi-
BILE holder of franchise in the new
league The new organization will uii-
doubtedly start off with bright pros

Waterloo is represented by William
Ewald and Fort Dodge had j. w. Mey-
ers here. In spite of the fact that Mt.
Dodge is omitted Meyers wishes the or
ganization success.
Both Mr. Ewald and Mr.. Meyers are
enthusiastic over the prospects of the
new league. These two men agitated
this question all last season. but ow-
ing to unsettled conditions in the
baseball world they were unable to get
the league in operation. Now, how
ever determined effort has been
made with the result that enough
towns have become interested to make
the league possible. They want OF
tumwa in the league and that is why
they desire to hold a preliminary meet
ing here.
{. The visiting promoters point ou;
that league made OF the towns pro-
posed could be managed much less ex-
pensively than any other league in the
country. For instance the Three-I.
league making three trips, around the
circuit year wiz. cover 1000 miles,
while this league, taking in the most
remote towns could not exceed 1900
miles in the same number of trips.
The salary limit could also be safely
kept down to $500 If the teams all
agree to 1t and thus the expense could
be reduced to a minimum.
