LAKE BED SOLD
The Famous Iowa Lake Bed About
Which There Has Been So Much
Litigation, Has Been Sold for $751;
Onn

Special to Times Republican
Webster City, Oct. 29.-The old Iowa
Lake bed in Rose Grove township has
been sold. The ownership of this ia
nous lake bed has been in litigation
for four or five years. and now it's
present owner-at least the owner of
the larger part of it. II. Moore, has
sold it to d. j. McMahone Of Min
nesota. The consideration is $751;
600.
In the whole of this lake bed are
LOGS acres. 1t is cut up into three
prices containing $50, Ill, and 81 acres,
respectively. There are still pending
in the district court several cases
against Mr.. Moore brought by per-
sons who i've near this lake bed and
who claim small portions Of 1t under
adverse possession" as the legal term
is. This means that they have held
possession of the land for so long q
term of years as to make it theirs by
right of possession.
This famous lake bed was originally
sold by Hamilton county and 1t is
thru this title that Mr.. Moore holds
it. An action was begun by other
nearby land owners to get possession
of the lake bed under their riparian
rights, but the interior department at
Washington decided that the lake was
properly swamp land, and that the
county had the right to dispose of 1t.
The sale of this vast lake farm bv Mr..
Moore will not in the least affect the
small claims now pending against it.
This lake bed. however, is probably
the biggest sale Of contiguous land on
one farm that ever took place in Ham-
ilton county. with the sinele execution
Of the similar sale of Mud lake near
Jewell.

spite of the fact that MIR. and Mrs
Kelley are surrounded by every lux

she now seeks separation.
The evidence is Of the most sensa-
tional nature and develops that at
times Mrs. Kelley has been forced to
flee to the neighbors for protection.

night the wife and mother was forced
to flee from her home and not having
time to dress, ran from the house N

almost Impossible Tor her to tell what
was the matter and that when she re-
covered sufficiently, reported that her

These occurrences have been going on
for years, according to the neigh

children were old enough they be-
