Special to Times KepuDlican.
Homer, Oct. 3.-,A peculiar contro-
versy is In progress over an S0-acre

question of whether Or not the fifth

the hands of Dora L. Dingman, who
now claims ownership and has pos
session of the property. The title OF
the case is G. H. Daniels and others
against Dora L. Dingman. The story
Of the questions involved in the l1ti-
cation is as follows:
w. r. Daniels died in December, 1881,
leaving eighty acres of land in Hamil-

Dingman, whose maiden name was
Dora L. Daniels. He provided in the

Dingman died, leaving the property to
her husband, Samuel L. Dingman. The
plaintiffs claim that they are the legal
and lineal heirs of w. r. Daniels, and
that as Almira Dingman never gave
birth to a living child, the property is
theirs by right.
Samuel Dingman married again at
ter the death of his first wife, and,
after willing the property to his sec
ond wife, Dora L. Dingman, died. Dora
L. Dingman, the defendant, claims that
Almira Dingman did give birth to a
living child, her fifth, which, it is al
legged, lived but two hours after it's
birth Mrs. Elizabeth Dingman, a
midwife, who attended Mrs. Almira
Dingman, is the principal Witness and
her testimony will be a large factor in
deciding the case Her evidence is pre-
sented in the form of a deposition, and
consists of about 10000 words. The
case will be finished in the district
court this week.

Belle PLANE, Oct S.-A test of the
water pressure available for fire pgo-

isfactory. and Belle Plaine taxpayers
are rejoicing over the fact that the
town is really provided with excellent
fire protection.
Some additions in the way Of APP
paratus and hose could be made eX-

partment, such as a light chemical en-
CINE, some more hose, and couple OF
hose houses with carts to be pulled by
hand, located we'll out on the south
and north sides.
During the test, the fire department
attached about 800 feet of hose to a
hydrant, and threw a stream fifteen
feet above the top of the Fanton ele-
vator, with tank pressure alone. After
the engine and pumps at the water
works station We're started, putting on
full fire pressure the stream was thrown
much higher. For some time, two
streams were played and the additional
fire stream seemed to have no dimin-
ishing effect as far as the height and
quantity of water thrown was con-
cerned. The pump had not been in
use for few days on account OF put
ting In cement floor at the pump
ing station, and at the time of the
fire here last week, the water was shut
off. Fortunately, however, the water
works were not needed, as the plaze
had already been put out before the
fire department reached the scene.
Good progress continues to be made
on the deep artesian we'll, which has
reached depth Of about 1900 feet.
