IN ACTION
FOR Lien

The case OF John C. McElroy against
Andrew 3. Kelley, whereby the COM
plainant sought to establish mechanics
lien for plumbing, materials and labor
furnished for two houses on n lot at the
corner OF Knight and Brighton streets
under one contract, was decided today.
A joint lien was claimed on both houses
and all the land under an entire ac-
count OF all the materials furnished for
both houses without discrimination,
which he filed as the commencement OF
legal proceedings.
1t was contended by The respondent
that petitioner was not entitled to "A
lien i'm that inasmuch as the two houses
are not "one building in tho contempa-
tion OF the statute. and he should have
filed separote notice OF his intention 10
claim lien upon each house and a
separate account for each house. of tho
material furnished in Il, which was not
done.
The chief justice. speaking OF the
statute making provision for mechanics =
and material mems liens, says:
1T is evident from the tenor Of the
whole act that the primary thing 10 which
tho lien attaches is the building into
which the work and materials enter and
that the extension OF tne lien 10 include
the land is secondary. In this view each
building must be considered and treated
as n unit, and each building must be so
segregated that II can be considered by
itself"
The chief justice says there Is no evil
dence Of the parties 10 the contract hav-
ing waived tho strict terms Of the stat
ute. His honor further SAYS tho courts
OF the different states have divided into
two classes on this subject that by far
the larger number have taken the con-
tract as the criterion Of unity, including
IN one lien any number Of special struc-
lures which are embraced in one building
contract with one owner. Some states
even prescribe thus form by statute. The
precedents IN Rhode Island following But
ler vs. Rivers, 4 r. /. Ss, take a different
view.

L. L. Anderson and wife re-
turned Tuesday morning from
Modale, Iowa, where they went
on account of the fatal illness of
Mr.. Anderson's mother. The fol-
lowing obituary we copy from
The Pride of ModaIe:"
Grandma Anderson died at her
home in this city on Thursday
morning at II o'clock, aged II
years, 6 months and 10 days. She
had been enjoying real good health
until less than three weeks ago
when she contracted severe cold
which brought about her ailments
that have troubled her for many
years, and which caused her death.
During her last illness. as at all
former times, she suffered very
much but with perfect patience.
Her vitality and constitution have
been remarkable for she has been
very low at many times but would
revive and be cheerful to her fam
lily until the very last. She lived
to do good for her family and for
all who came in contact with her.
Sarah Long-Anderson was born
in Antioch, Ohio, on March IS,
1923. She was united in marriage
to John j. Anderson on March %,
1917, at Knob Fork, West Va,
which event made for them fifty
eight years of welded life which
have been very happy ones to
them. Her husband and three
children survive and mourn her
loss. They were all present at her
bedside and with willing hands
have done all that could be done
for her. A truer and more help
ful companion and devoted mother
never lived than Grandma Ander-
son. She will not only be missed
by the immediate family but the
entire community will mourn the
loss of a dear good neighbor and
friend. The family consisting of
herself, husband, son, Levi L., and
daughters, now Mrs. +. II. Lud-
wig and Mrs. j. L. Hammer, came
to Iowa in November 1864 and in
1866 built the home in which they
have ever since lived. She has
been a faithful member of the Nj.
+. church for 50 years and her
funeral will be conducted by Rev.
l.. f. Baldwin of the NJ. E.church
on Saturday at 10 a. M. in the
