HATCHER WINS OUT.
Marshalitown Man Secures His Right.
in $4,000 Acre Estate in South Da-

kota.
An important land decision in South
Dakota, handed down by Judge Charles
S. Whiting of the Ninth Judicial cir
cult. al Huron, establishes the right
of Charles S. Hatcher of this city,
and Isaac f. Hatcher, of Morris, H.,
his Brother, in the Isaac Hoge estate,
which Is valued at 100000.
The Hoge will involves $4,000 acres
of land in South Dakota. Mr.. Hoge
was resident OF Illinois and his will
was drawn UP in that state and covers
property In Illinois, Iowa, North Da-
kota, Indiana and other states, in adj
dltion to the $4,000 acres of land In
South Dakota. Under the will Mr..
Hoge sought to give only a life estate
in this property to his grandsons. The
will. drawn under the laws of Illinois.
was contested by the grandchildren
before Judge Whiting.
The courts decision Is that the will
is void under the laws of South Da-
kota, because 1t attempts to restrain
the power of sale of real estate during
a period longer than the lives of per-
sons in being at the time of the death
of the testator, and he therefore holds
that the grandchildren have acquired
not merely life estate in the $4,000
acres of land in South Dakota. but
have acquired. as heirs, a fee simple
title and have full power to sell and
convey their entire interest.
