Of cattle is a part of Chapter No. 2 OF
the case involving a section of Gregory
county land. There is "a history to the
story, including a special act of con-
gress. The section involved is known
as the doc Lewis" ranch.
kiva Lamoreaux was a beautiful In
dian girl. Twenty years 6 she mar
ried Doc" Lewis and relinquished her
allotment in Nebraska. Gregory
ty opened and she applied for two fine
sections just east of Herrick. Through
Register and Receiver Sanford Parker,
of O'Nein, who is her brother-in-law,
n secured a special act of oagre
which gave her and her four children
two sections of land.
Mrs. Lewis to assist her husband
gave him a deed for one section of and
and he sold it to the Bank of Spencer,
through its president. f. w. Widner,
of Corning. Ia, decided same and
bought SlS,000 worth of cattle, giving
a chattel mortgage on them to the
bank.
Mrs. Lewis now enters suit against
her husband and bank to secure re-
conveyance of the land to her. The
bank attempted to take the SIS, 000
worth of cattle and lock them in the
Herrick stock yards and the bankers
and cashiers stood guard all night.
Doc" Lewis, through his attorney. G..
o.. a Meter. began action and at
IL o'clock at night secured possession
Of 500 cattle, which Lewis now holds
on his ranch.
The bank has telephoned for legal as
sistance and a long drawn out conflict
in the courts is expected. All night
long could be heard the halo of the
cowboy, the moving and believing herd
and the weird light of the bankers
lanterns gave a grotesuue picture.
