Dies at Hospital.

H. B. Woodbridge, a reporter, with
the instinct of his profession strong in

up the city editor of h e G / e.
After brief conversation Mr.. Wood

of life in the city hospital. This he
offered to L e G l b e, and 1t
was accepted. Later Mr.. Woodbridge
improved so much in health that he
left the hospital and was attached to
T h e G l b staff.
His last assignment was a descr1p-

at Fartbault, which was printed a
week ago last Sunday, and which caus-
ed much comment through it's simple

that he was not friendless. Almost
his last words to the city editor of

gratitude to DR.. Ancker.
Mr.. Woodbridge was a man of va
ried attachments, liberal education and
large experience. Little is known of
his family except that he was well

Which he was given the right until
1881 to place settlers upon the lands
and to make sales to parties desiring
to settle on the same. Under this
contract Archbishop Ireland sold and
located a large number of settlers on
the lands.
Makes Second Contract.
In March, 1885,. he entered into a
second contract which recited the first
one, and further stated that the rail-
road company had not obtained title
to the lands The second contract
agreed that when the title should be
obtained by the company Mgr. Ireland
should have the right to purchase eth
er for himself or parties he should
designate $4,000 acres of land at 81 per
acre.
Under the first contract Archbishop
ireland expended considerable time,
labor and money in his colonization
scheme up to 1883, and a large num-
Der of persons were induced to settle
on the lands and along the line Of the
road.
The government never granted these
lands to the railroad company, but in
the meantime congress passed an act
providing that where the railroad
company sold lands which were parts
OF their grants to settlers or others,
and they were excepted from grants.
the citizens or purchasers would be
enabled to buy from the general gov
eminent and be entitled to patents.
Land Office Grants Patents.
Under this act Mgr. Ireland claimed
he was a bona fide purchaser and
should have patents, and these were
! granted by the land office
The cases decided vnctardov nY +be

/ grantees of Archbishop Ireland against

| for which patents had been granted.
| Resistance WAS made in the courts by

were valid, and the supreme court af-

court, but Chief Justice Start and

The action was brought in Clay

damages under the statute of trespass
owing to the defendant having cut the
timber from forty-acre tract of land.
Brown did not appear or was not rep
