Webster City. Ia.-Since the death
Of George Wells. the eccentric Iowa
millionaire, at his home in Grundy
Center il develops that many OF the
business houses at Wellsburg. the
thriving German town in Grundy
county named after the millionaire
are built on lots for which the owners
have no deeds except that which
comes from verbal agreement and the
fact OF occupancy in peaceful posses
sion for a number os years.
1t appears that Mr.. Wells had a
great habit Of deferring action In
many OF his deals. trades and trans
actions. that he disposed Of lots. gave
the buyer possession and stated that
he would make a deed some day. be
ing too busy to attend to the trivial
work OF executing the deed
Mr.. Wells carried his books in his
head. so to speak. and many Of his old
time friends took his word for many
things. expecting. Of course, TO receive
the deed in time. but realizing after
the old mans death that they had nc
title to their property. A number o.
legal actions will be the outcome Of

MoNopoLIEs HIT BY DECISION.
Judge az Milwaukee Finds for Case
Company in STACKER Suit.

Milwaukee. Wis.--Judge Seaman
administered a blow to monopolies IN
restraint Of trade in his decision the
other day in favor Of the ]. |. Case
company in the wind stacker case.
The suit was brought by the Indiana
Manufacturing company to recover
royalties on a patent stacker. All
thrashlng machine makers have been
compelled to pay royalties to the In
diana concern, which owns 200 pat
ents. The Case company some time
ago invented a stacker OF its own ana
declined to continue the royalties.
Judge Seaman. in his decision. con-
fined himself to the claim that the
contract with the Indiana concern was
in violation Of the Sherman law lie
held that the grant OF a patent ere
ated lawful monopoly. and con
tinued:
Nevertheless. am OF the opinion
that the monopoly thus secured, to Dc
immune from the antitrust act mus'
be referable solely to the invention
under the patent. and that combina
ton Of licenses formed thereundel
may create a monopoly which exceeds
| the legitimate scope Of the patent PRIV
ilege."

SCENTS BURIED TREASURE.
Man finds Marx Of vessel That MAJ

Fort Worth. Tex.-While looking
,var his pastare in Reed county Mr.
billiard. who lives near Thorp SPRINGS
vas attracted By a mound Of ifesn
earth. Upon investigation Il was ais.

At the bottom was the imprint ei
some kind Of a vessel that had been
removed.
The place is particularly marked
the excavation being in the center OF
four roughly hewn stones, set IN q
square aud sunk almost out OF sight
in the earth A short distance from
this square Is another stone with a
hatchet sketohed on IT'S surface, the
edge OF the hatchet blade pointing d.

ton was made.
Mr.. Dillard says he had often no
ticed the stones. but supposed they
we're simply an old landmark. The
supposition Is that the vessel con
tanned money and the find may be con
nected with an old story that has beer
told in that section ever since It was
first settled.
This story is that in the countr,
between Comanche peak and Robin

Impotent Railroad Commission

A general COMPLAINTS said to prevail
among shippers regarding the car

entertained great hopes Of immediate
relief from the exactions OF public SER

however, seem to be as far away as ever

. especially in localities where the peo-
pie have entered complaints concern
ing high traffic rates, and who have
suffered keenly in the above respect.
The railroad corporations act on the
assumption, if rates are fixed too low
to suit them, they will get back at the
complainants by claiming they have
no cars or means by which they can
make shipments OF fuel and other
commodities; that in the meantime
our dissatisfied citizens must not MUIR

1t is to be expected the present Rail-

members, each receiving a regular sal

Legislature to make another big ap-
preparation, to enable them to hold on
to fat job, and continue the farce for
another two years.
In our opinion it would be better for
the people to have this commission
law wiped from the statute books, in
which event our citizens will provide
some adequate substitute and not wait
for assistance to come from an impo.
tent commission. In plain language,
the railway companies are making
plaything of the whole business. The

Many OF the criticisms OF Mrs. Par.
