Heirs Of Montezuma Woman Sue
to Have Deed Fifty Years
Old Set Aside
PROPERTY is NOW VALUABLE
plaintiff Claim Their Mothers Name
Wa. Not Legally Signed to the Deed
Of conveyanee-Land Has Passed
Thru Many Hands Since - Owner
Pleads Estoppal.
Special to r1mes-isepublican.

MonteM,ma, Jan. 15.-There was filed
in the office of the clerk Of the dis
trict court of Poweshiek county the
petition of Harriet Lalxin and others,
asking that forty acres of the farm
now owned by John Schoales east OF
Montezuma be partitioned and tnat
one-third of the same, or the proceeds
OF q sale thereof, be given by decree
to the plaintiffs i'll this action. There
BY hangs tale.
It is alleged in the petition that
one James M. Hawkins was, on and
prior to November 2, 1852, the real
owner OF the real estate in question;
that on said date his then wife was
Sarah Hawkins. and that on said
date Mr.. Hawkins sold and conveyed
said premises to Wesley McVey by 9
warranty deed in which the name of
Sarah Hawkins nowhere appeared
except that she signed the deed and
that her name appears. in the ac-
Acknowledgement. The deed seems to
start out by saying that "I-James
M. Hawkins sell and convey, and
covenant and warrant, ETC., and the
name OF Sarah does not appear In
the body of the deed, and there is
mo clause in the deed in which the
wife relinquishes dover. and the
word I'VE" does not appear in the
deed at all, and 1t is alleged that
said deed did not convey any interest
of the said wife.
Said land has been transferred
many times since 1862 In about 1880
Mr. Hawkins died, leaving his wife.
Sarah, surviving him, and in the year
1901 the widow. Sarah, died, leaving
heirs who now appear as plaintiffs
In this action and come into court
by their attorney, Judge w. r.
Lewis, and ask to have one-third Of
the S. e. Y of SIZE. Y of section 5.
township Is north, range IA west,
for themselves, after this land was
supposed to have passed from the
Hawkins family some fifty-five years
ago.
Defendant pleads estoppal by the
signing of said deed; pleads the gem
eral statute Of limitations on the
theory that said claim is stale, and
then puts in issue the act Of the Thir-
sty-first general assembly which at
stempts to barr Sthe rights Of all who
claim under wife who failed to join
with her husband in deed which he
made prior to 1885, unless they brought
that action before July 4, 1907.
Whether merely signing a deed by
the wife will thereby relinquish her
dover interest has never been de-
scided in Iowa, and the statute above
pleaded by the defendants has not
been before the supreme court. and
consequently this case will be fol-
lowed with considerable interest, for
such questions are likely in the title
of any land.

PEACE IN The 561H

Recent Troubles and Elects
Hyatt Major
NO OPPOSITION PRESENTED
Outlook Now for Peace in the Entire
Regiment, Following chantland.
Parker and Hyatt Rankin contro-
versies - Almost Full Vote Is PolIed
in Election for Major.
o OPPOSITION PRESENTED
Special to rimes-Republlcan.


Webster City. Jan. 15.-The Iowa
National Guard troubles are believed to
be over. With no opponent and scarce
ly a dissenting voice in any Of the
twelve companies of the Fifty-sixth
regiment Of the National Guard, Capt
N. p. Hyatt of this city was elected
last night as major of the regiment.
Fearing lest there should some OPP
position unexpectedly arise against
panies turned out at their local armor-
les and polled very heavy VOTE The
complete official returns have not yet
been received. but the result is prac-
tically unanimous.
With the ending of this contro-
versy, peace once more reigns In the
Fifty-sixth. Trouble and turmoil has
existed in the guard ever since Major
Parker touched the spark which caused
the protracted controversy between
Parker and Chantland. At the time
that TINS Slrl1e WAS dl Whitehead, AsohA
kin also became agitated, and with in
fiuence brought to bear on the chlef
executive of the state, the contest for
major between Hyatt and Rankin was
set aside However, the outlook Is
now for peace and it is generally
hoped that this will be the last con-
tention that will arise in the Fifty
sixth.
In the promotion Of Capt. Hyatt to
the office of major. the captaincy OF
the local company is vacated. Also
the office of lieutenant and some min
or offices. Second Lieutenant F. j.
Lund is the only candidate that has
made an announcement as a candi-
date for the office of captain. 1t was
expected that Lieutenant Geo. NJ. Teed
would aspire to this office, but he
states that he will not be candidate.

TIRED OF AFFINITY BUSINESS.
,cottrsIl- Housh Love Affair at an End
Principals Say.

Is Des Moines, Jan. 15.-"My husband
Is coming back. feel that now am
unworthy Of his love, but am going
to try to win back that love. I am
thru forever with the affinity theory"
This was the statement made yes
terday by Mrs. Alonzo w. Hough at
her residence on Thirtieth street. Mrs.
Hough is the best authority in Iowa
on the subject of affinities by reason
Of her affair with Hon. John c. Cott-
rell, mayor Of Kingsley, and represent
tative in the general assembly, who
publicly announced his love for Mrs.
sHomgh and she her love for him. Their
love was the outgrowth of legislative
romance. The woman heard Cottrell
speak on the 2-cent fare bill in the
house Of representatives. They met.
The found that they were neighbors in
Des Moines. Perhaps the woman was
blinded by the title Of the gentleman
from Plymouth. Perhaps CottreH's
head was turned at the thought of his
speech inspiring love In the heart of
a woman. The sequel was an effort
upon the part of each to secure a di-
vorce Passionate love, tears, notoriety,
pleadings Of friends and children, law
yers, agreements, divorce petitions,
followed and, as a climax, the an
nouncement that Mrs. Cottrell will
withdraw her suit for divorce and that
Alonzo w. Hough, the husband, who
buried himself in Wyoming when the
scandal occurred, is returning to Des
Afoines.
From Kingsley comes word that the
Cottrells have become reconciled. Cot
trell discontinued his love letters to
his affinity last Tuesday. No word
came to Mrs. Hough for week from
Kingsley. All she knew Of what was
transpiring there was what she read
in the papers.
This gave her time to think, and
she thought 1t all over. The result was
her announcement yesterday that her
husband is coming back from the west.
