countries.

examination by doctors in attendance

Valley Medical society, in the hope
that by so doing she might assist I'M

fled the skill of physicians.

LAKE AND RIVER REns

Council Bluffs. Ia. Dec. 17.-Attor-
ney General III. w. Byers in an action
begun here in the district court yester-
day raises the question whether the
state of Iowa has free title to lake ana
river beds or whether, under the act
by which the state was admitted to the
union, it acquired only Jurisdiction over
lakes and rivers. Title to about ESQ
acres of ground formerly the bed OF
Boyer lake in Rockford township, is in
volved in the proceeding. The state ap-
pears as plaintiff and the defendants
are Carrie Livingston. II. B. jennings
and C. A. Beno.
Boyer lake was formerly a consid-
cradle body of water, but dried up
gradually and for number of years
owners of the land which originally
surrounded the lake have occupied anf
farmed what was once it's bed. The.
property owners have sought to quiet
their title but encountered the question
of the states rights. The matter was
referred to Attorney General Byers and
he concluded to bring action so as to
have the matter settled by court
