THAT REMARKABLE LANG CASE
The Troubles Of the Lang Family Made Public
lis the Elder Lang Competent to Do
His Business Affairs.

For more than week the district
court has been struggling with the
question whether Mr.. j. r. Lang of
Willow township ought to have a
guardian to conduct his business. His
sons and daughter insist that he
should. and have brought the we'll
known DIR. G. H. Hill from Des
Moines to give expert testimony. and
this was backed by DR.. Wright of this
city. Both have seen Lang. heard
the testimony as to his liquor habits,
and recent conduct, and they kave said
that he has become unfit for active
business and his brain is not sound.
On the other side DR.. Barstow of
Council Bluffs and DIR. Boyle of Deni-
son give reasons why Mr. Lang is as
mentally qualihad to act US any man
of his age. There has been much
testimony which is not fit to publish.
The central issue is as to the sound
ness of mind of Lang and this The
jury must decide. Conner & Lally
have fought for the children and
Harding & Kahler and Mr.. Swasey
for the old gentleman. Much feel
ing has been. felt and the talks to the
jury will be scaihing on both s;dss.
