averages higher than any house or

are still investigating other points.
Other gangs have stopped work out

Litigation Over Property Ac-
quired By City National Bank
at Mason City
WIDOW MAKES CLAIM
Mrs. Elizabeth Wier Alleges That She
Was Induced to Sign Deed to
Henry Day Without Any Idea of It's
Import-suit Instituted to Quiet
Claims.

Mason City. May 15.--A case is now
pending in the district court, which in
wolves the title to the most important
business corner in Mason City, lately
purchased by the City National bank
for $4,000, and to, which there are
a number of alleged claimants, as per
alleged illegal transactions more than
a quarter of a century ago. Henry Day,
pioneer resident of Mason City,
owned part of this corner, State and
Main, and during his early career in
Mason City, secured a deed to GER
tain portion of it from William Wier,
who is said to have been running
saloon in the building there in the
days when that institution was part
Of the city.
1t is alleged that Mr.. tWier violated
the law in some particulars, and that
at one time along in the '70's, his prop-
erty was in danger of confiscation by
state officers for violation OF the liquor
laws, For years Henry Day and Will
lam Wier were close friends, and when
the danger became apparent to Wier
that he might lose his property, it is
said he suggested to Mr.. Day that he
deed the property over to Day, and
after this trouble, whatever it might
have been, blew over, that Day should
deed it back. This, so 1t is said, never
was done, either because Day lost his
affection for Wier, or else because it
was meyer made clear that the property
was safe from conf1scation.
Two years ago Wier died In a. town
in Missouri, poor, and soon after Day
died. worth many thousands Of dollars.
His property along with what was
once owned by Wier, went to his heirs
among them being Mrs. Hattie Day
Odgen, who in turn, a few months ago,
sold the corner to the City National
Bank.
Mrs. Elizabeth Wter wife OF the late
William Wier, who is a resident of the
city, claims to still own the property
in legal right. i She claims that she
was induced to- sign the deed to Day
without any notion of Its import, say
ing that one morning an attorney came
rushing into her home, saying: Mrs.
Wier, sign this paper quick" which
request she compiled with without fur
Their investigation. The fact that Day
had peaceable possession of the prop
erty for twenty five years or more may
cut some figure. The attorneys for
the bank say it will. They have now
instituted suit to quiet all claims
against the property, and 1t will come
up at this term of court, according to
present plans.

He made a particular point to as
certain how long 1t would take the
government TO secure a return of the

one of the government projects built

He was assured that If the govern
