Factory Decides to Remain in

Not long since the Herald was per-
mitted to make announcement of an.
addition to the factory interests of the
city in the establishment here OF the
"Shinum Company" factory. Now
comes story from Keosauqua to the
effect that the factory is to be located
at that place. Looks rather like Os-
kaloosa had been made to play the
cats paw Here is the story:
Keosauqua, Oct. 7.--Keosauqua has
factory that seems destined to grow
to larger proportions. The factory.
which makes very ingenious combi-
nation for shoe shining purposes, To-
Gated in Keosauqua last May, with fif-
teen operatives The business has
grown so rapidly that the factory quar-
tiers had to be enlarged. There APP
parently was no building in town suit
able for a larger factory site and the
factory was on the verge of removing
to Oskaloosa The citizens of Keo-
sauqua got busy and secured five
year lease on the big, building on the
corner across from the court house
and presented the company with the
lease. The building was fixed up
and the factory began moving into
it's new quarters Wednesday of last
week. 1t is expected that the factory
will increase its operating force SO
that no less than fifty men and women
will be given steady work in short
time

A RARE LAW POINT.
QUESTION OF LAW THAT HAS
SELDOM OCCURRED AND FEW
PREcEDENTs FOUND.


An interesting law question is pend
ing in the district court in connection
with the estate OF w. H. H. Rice, one
OF Mahaska county's pioneer citizens
Mr.. Rice died February %, 1907,
and on May Z last his wife filed a
claim against the estate for the sum
OF 100000, based on the following
promissory note:
September IS, 1865.
Two years after date / promise to
pay Emily M. Rice the sum of Tween
ty-One Hundred Dollars for value re-
ceived, The conditions of this note
are to draw no interest for twelve
months after my DEATH
tSlgned) wv. H. H. Rice"
The claim filed gives a history of
the transaction under which the claim
arose. 1t appears that Emily M. Rice
was the second wife of Mr.. Rice and
they We're married in the year 1859
She was daughter of VIM. florence
also an early citizen of the county
who died in 1863 or 1876 md from
his estate Mrs. Rice receiM 100000,
which was shown by a receipt given
to the administrator of the Terrence
estate, which was signed by both Mr..
and Mrs. Rice.
Major Lacey, who represented the
claimant, claimed that Mr. Rice had
received the money In trust and that
the statute of limitations, which pro-
vides that suit must be brought
within ten years on a note, did not
run against his client. He also claim
ed that under the Revision of 1860 a
married woman could not sue her hus-
band and that as the note had been
executed while this law was in force,
it became part of the contract and
that suit could not be brought until
after his death.
On the other hand Mr.. Malcolm for
the administrator of the estate, M. w.
Crozier, claimed that the execution
of the note precluded any idea of the
the note was concerned, the parties
sustained only the relation of debtor
and creditor and that the note was
barred by the statute of limitations
in ten years. He therefore demur-
red to the claim,
The demurrer was argued on Thurs
day by Major Lacey and Mr.. Malcolm
and on Friday the court sustained the
demurrer and ruled against the claim.
Major Lacey took time to amend
the claim. ..s
1t is proper here to state that the
administrator and the heirs claim that
Mr.. Rice in his lifetime made an adj
justment of the note by the transfer
of land, but this matter could not be
presented at this time. .@..
1t is a rare and interesting point
and few cases are found in the books
that can be regarded as precedents.
