Council Bluffs, April 5.-Even the
real estate agents sometimes miss it
on their land investments, and instead
of realizing good returns on their mon
ey fail to get back what they put in.
j. w. Squire, of Council Bluffs, thought
he was doing a wise thing when he
went in with w. d. Bird and I. E.
Smith, of Sioux City, four years ago
on deal for $500 acres of Missouri
soil, and presumably they thought so
too. But all three were fooled on the
venture, and Squire, who furnished
most of the cash, is now suing the 9TH
er men to recover the amount of his
share in the enterprise.
The trial was started yesterday be-
fore Judge Wheeler and may last for
several days. The amount claimed by
Squire is $4,000. He also asks that
Messrs. Bird and Smith be held liable
for the payment of as much more on
obligations arising out Of the deal that
may come due in future.
Invested in Holt County Land.
The Sioux City men We're in part
nership with one another prior to 1902,
and devoted their attention largely to
the sale of Missouri river bottom lands
in Iowa. They handled a good deal
of this property and made, consider
able money. The ambition to reach
out for wider fields led them to inves-
tigate northwestern Missouri. Some
communication was had with Squire
about this time, with the result that he
accompanied them to Holt county. Mis-
souri,. where they had some land In
reached among the trio that Squire
should advance money for the first
payments, and that Bird and Smith
should resell the tracts, all profits to
be divided equally between them and
Squire.
The contract was made in July. 1902,
and signed up in September of chat
year, binding Bird and Smith to sell
the lands before March 1 Of the follow
ing year. If any should remain unsold
at that time, it was the understanding
on Squires part at least, that the 9TH
ers should pay one-half the cost, maxi
ing good their share of what had been
previously advanced by himself. The
property was all bought on the con-
tract plan, part being paid down in the
beginning. and deeds to be executed
March 1, 1903, on final payment.
Total Obligations $215,000
Squire took all these contracts in his
name and personally assumed obliga-
tions for the purchase price of each
piece, amounting in all to $215,Oo0. Up
to March of the succeeding year he
clair to have put in between 100000
am 10000, while Bird & Smith paid
only 100000.
The years Of 1903 and 1904 were
marked by wet summer seasons. The
lands which had been bought by the
plaintiff and defendants were repeated
ly overlooked, farming operations could
scarcely be carried on upon them, and
in consequence their market value Went
down. 1t BECAME difficult matter to
sell any Of the acreage at even so fav-
orable a figure as the amount of their
purchase price. which was $37.5O to
$50 per acre.

The game of "Adjectives" is good to
fll in a half hour. Select one of the
party to go out of the room. Then
each person chooses an adjective,
which he or she will represent, while
the one outside comes In and asks
questions, trying to determine the ad-
~jective being enacted. For instance,
the interlocutor may say. Did you
have q merry Christmas" and the
person who has chosen the more 10

Of words, the joys OF his Christmas
