Evans Commission Co. The plaintiffs
allege that they are the owners of 1926
acres of land in Decatur county, known
as the Ingram ranch, which they ac-
quired through sheriff sale deed
having bid in the land to satisfy a
Judgment which they obtained in this
county against the Strahorn-Hutton-
Evans Co. for $24,759.8O. The land at
the time was held in the name of Robert
Strahorn, but was claimed to be the
property of the commission company of
which he was president, and simply
held in his name for convenience in
transferring. The defendants Harry
Strahorn and Edna Strahorn Hallowell
claim to be the heirs at law of Robert
Strahorn, deceased, and claim to have
an interest in the property which was
not subject to the plaintiffs judgment.
The plaintiffs have demanded that they
make them quit claim deed to the
land which they refuse to do and the
suit is commenced asking that the court
quiet plaintiffs title to the land. 1t is
understood the defendants will resist
the case and it promises to make an in
teresting and hard piece of litigation.

Judge H. 81. Towner has been tender
ed and has accepted the lestureship on
constitutional law at the State Uniyer-
slty vacated by Justice McLain of the
supreme court, who was compelled to
give it up by the present law regarding
the procedure of that body. The time

yenlence and so arranged as not to in
terfere with his duties on the bench.
he will deliver twenty-five lectures and
the compensation is $500.
The position is one for which Judge
Towner's abilities and attainments dual
ny him to an eminent degree. In select
ing him the University authorities have
conferred great honor upon him, but
they have also secured the services of
one who will maintain the high standard
established by Justice McClain. Fol-
lowing is an extract from President
MacLean's letter rendering the posi-
ton:
I'VE are aware that we are asking
greao FAVOR, but we have the hope that
you will be able to grant it and to help
us to maintain the great fame Of this
college of law and the standards of law
education in Iowa. We know your ac-
ceptance would give pleasure to the en-
tire bar and bench of the state, and to
citizens OF the state. We have thought
1t might be pleasure to you to meet
the best law students in the state who
are going out into the pr ,fession, and in
some sense, that it would be an overflow
OF your knowledge and creation freus
the routine of your work upon the
bench. Corning Union-R Republican.

great many who will drive up each day.

THE WALLACE CIRCUS.
Drew an Enormous Crowd In this
City. Performance was Good.

Wallace's big railroad shows attract
ed one of the largest crowds ever seen
in this city last Saturday. The circus
arrived from Corydon about o'clock
IN the morning, the train being drawn
by two engines, and there was a big
crowd at the depot waiting to see them
unload. By o'clock there were hun
dreds of teams in from the country and
from that time until noon all the princi-
pal roads leading to Leon were crowded
with teams, making it look like long
professions coming to town. All the
feed stables were quickly filed to their
utmost capacity and then the farmers
commenced to scatter over the city
the streets for blocks in all directions
from the square being filled with teams.
The crown probably reached 5000 peo-
pie, the big tent being crowded at the
afternoon performance every seat being
occupied and people had to sit on the
grass at the ends Of the Rugs. The
show managers informed us that nearly
5000 people entered the tent at the
afternoon performance. OF course
there was not near so large a crowd in
in the evening but the show people
were we'll pleased with the attendance
in this city. The Wallace circus is
good one, their hundreds of horses and
ponies bel: G the finest ever seen in this
city with the exception of the Ringling
Bros, who were here six years ago.
The parade was good one,and the ring
performance was excellent, all Of the
acts being high priced ones, ard some
of them were simply marvellous. 1t was
remarked that all the special features
shown on the bills were faithfully
carried out. There is but one thing to
the detriment of the Wallace circus and
that is the horde of shell workers and
gamblers which follow the circus.
Sheriff Wallace was on the grounds and
tried to prevent the fellows operating
but he could not be everywhere and al
fast as game was closed up one place
some other fellow opened up somewhere
else, and the usual number of suckers
parted with their hard earned dollars
bucking the wheel Of fortune and try
ing to locate the little ball under the
shells. Several of the victims who lost
money afterwards made roar and the
gamblers returned most of their money
rather than have trouble, but it is safe
to say that that they cleaned up several
hundred dollars by their operations in
this city. The circus went from here
to Creston where they exhibited Mon
day and then jumped to Nebraska City,
