Professor George D. Heron, who
achieved so much notoriety at Iowa
college at Grinnell few years ago,
| is again attracting much notice in the
east This time it is in connection
with the story that he has inherited
from his mether-in-law, Mrs. Rand,
| something like $11,000,00O and that
he and his wife will start a free
love" colony Gil the farm they own
near Metuchen, N. J. DR.. Heron has
| issued a long statement denying the
story. He says that Mrs Rand never,
| LETT one-twelfth of what the news
papers report, and that the bulk of
that does not go to Mrs. Heron at
all. He says that no colony of any
sort will be established at his home
near Metuchen. He denies that he is
engaged in a crusade against mar
riage and he declares that instead of
himself and his present wife having
taken each other as companions, :"
they were legally and conventionally
married. He says he hopes that this
statement will be accepted as final,
as he and his wife are leaving to make
their home indefinitely in foreign
lands.
The litigation between the Modern
Woodmen of America and the bonds
men for E. H. McCutchen, the in
solvent banker of Holstein, is at an
end, the case having been dismissed
from the United States circuit court
of appeals at Cheyenne, Wyo. A. F.
Call and E. H. Hubbard of Sioux City
presented the opposing arguments in
the trial. The appeal had been made
from a ruling by Judge Reed of the
United States court in Sioux City
that the bondsmen had right to dis
miss petition. When the court of
appeals intimated that Judge Reeds
ruling in the bondsmen's favor was
right, Mr.. Call, on the part of Bort,
asked for a dismissal to avoid adjud-
ication against him. The controversy
grows out of the loss of 100000 by
the Modern Woodmen by reason of
insolvency of the private bank of E..
H. McCutchen. The first suit was
brought by McCutchen's bondsmen
against the recorder of Ida county to
enjoin him from recording the bond,
which had been signed by about twen-
| ty residents of Ida county to guaran-
tee the safety of the McCutchen bank.
This action was removed to the feder-
al court by the Modern Woodmen.
who then brought a new law action
through. Wright e Call to recover the
100000, the defendants being the Nc
Cutchen estate and the bondsmen for
McCutchen. Later the Woodmen dis
missed the suit and Bort brought an
action against the McCutchen bonds
men. to recover the deposit of 100000
of lodge funds, which suit also was
dismissed. Then Bort filed cross
petition in the original suit for Nc
Cutchen's bondsmen. Judge Reed
held that the McCutchen bondsmen
had a right to dismiss their petition
and sustained motion to that eff
feet by Hubbard and Burgess. Bort
appealed from the order of dismissal
to the circuit court of appeals. Now
the whole matter is out OF court. The
Modern Woodmen of America prob
ably will begin new action.
