ghost the litigation following in the
trail of Edwin O. Soule defalcation in
the Home Savings bank, and the SEN
sational collapse of the loWa-Lillocet
/ Gold Mining and Hawkeye Gold
each recurring term of court finds the
I old cases bobbing up, and new ones
cropping out for adjustment. The next
4 term of court which convenes next
/ week, finds a number of these cases
still on the docket
Among these is one brought by Riley
! Weiland and Amanda Weiland, against
! the Home Savings bank, seeking to re-
cover a note given by the plaintiffs
case harlts back to the regime of Mr..
Soule, and is one of the many tangles
that have had to be thresfed out in the
! courts by the succeeding adlninistra-
tons. The old case of the state VS.. b.
r. Bliss for larceny is still carried on
Lle uOChcl dllu Will plODubiS ASNSi
! come to trial. Another Old case is
/, that Of A. c. Otterbach of this city,
against the Hawkeye Gold Dredging
Co., Samuel Calvin of Iowa City, and
George I. Hedges of Cedar Rapids,
and is an echo from the mushroom
! growth of this mining company. An
other old case is that of the Iowa
Lillocet Gold Mining Co. against B. b.
Bliss and the United States Fidelity
and Guaranty Company Of Baltimore.
This is an action brought by the min
ing company in an effort to recover on
the bond which Mr.. Bliss gave when he
was secretary of the company. e. e.
Teeple's case against the HaWkeye
Company is still untried. and involves
the delivery of certain shares of the
company's stock and Mr.. Teeple's eff
fort to recover the value thereof or a
commission on the sale of the same. In
the federal court at Cedar Rapids, the
case of the Hawkeye Gold Dredging
Co. VS.. the State Bank of Iowa Falls to
recover certain monies alleged to be
due the plaintiff company has been
tried, but the case has been taken I'M
der advisement by the court and de-
cision will be rendered by Judge Reed
later.
Another state case on the docket is
the State VS.. j. II. Scales for contempt /
Mr.. Scales is prominent Ackley at
torney, who. with his wife and e. Fl.
Hoelscher, are made the defendants in
civil action brought by e. S. Blyden-
burg, who was recently acquitted of
wife murder. In this action, Mr.. Bly,
denburg seeks to recover title to farm
that was given as security for attor-
ney's fees on his first trial, in which
Mr.. Scales was one of the attorneys.
The city Of Iowa Falls appears APP
pears as a defendant in an action for
damages brought by Mrs. Margaret
Farrell, Of this city, who claims to have
sustained injuries from a fall on u
crossing. Another case, if tried this
term, will prove of unusual interest to
the public as it involves the law of
tapping telephone or telegraph wires.
The case is state one and involves
trial on an indictment returned against
r. L. Bolitho, who lives near Alden,
charging that he wrongfully aud I'M
lawfully tapped telegraph wire. 1t is
probable the case of Mrs. Fannie Wis
ner Crockett against Frank w. Crock
ett well known Des Moines attorney,
will come up for trial. The action is
brought seeking to nullify decree OF
the court giving the custody of the
Crockett child to the father. The cou-
pie were divorced several years ago.
The case of Foster VS.. the supervis-
ors Of Hardin county involves the le-
gality of the special survey tax asses
sed against irregular tracts Of land for
surveying and plating the same under
the direction of the county auditor for
assessment purposes. There are a
number of divorce cases including Fl.
