in doubt up to the last two days. when
Kel. by a magnificent squirt, forged into

Kelly says that he knew he would win

conditioning stunt, written hundreds OF
times to himself and then dictated replies

SCALLON-WILCOX LAND CASE

SCALLON- WILCOX LAND CASE

On Wednesday before Judge IIud-
wig in the circuit court it was decided
to submit the Scallon-Wilco land
case by briefs and decide the matter
later. II will require almost month
to reach a decision.
There is an interesting story in con-
nection with the suit. The case is by
William Scallon of the town of Frank
lin against Mrs. Georgiana Wilcox
and her son, William e. Wilcox.
Years ago Mr.Scallon purchased about
80 acres on a tax certificate and paid
something like $500. About 1896 he
sold the land to Thomas Wilcox, now
deceased for about 500, or SIS per acre.
Part of the money was paid. In the
first suit in relation to the case, Mrs.
Wilcox asked for the deed, but judg-
ment was denied on the ground that
all had not been paid, something like
$26 remaining due. 1t is said that the
money had been rendered several
times, but for some reason it was not
accepted. In the first case when tried
there was no direct ruling as to wheth-
er the money had been rendered or
not.

The Present Suit

In the present suit the defendants
have entered a counter claim asking to
be allowed to redeem equitable rights
under an unforeclosed land contract
and pay what is due with interest
since it has become due.
In answer to the claim the plaintiff
III the suit set up a bar, claiming judg-
ment in the previous suit is bar to
recovery in this suit The suit pro-
gressed ON the matter of ejectment. A
jury was called but before the end of
the suit the jury was discharged, as
most of the issues were for the court to
decide. Judge Ludwig has reserved
his decision and requested brief for
the position taken by the attorneys.
Some Family History
Thomas Wilcox was soldier in the
civil war and on account of disabili-
ty was not able to work when the con-
fiict was over. He was not able TO
read or write. 1t is said that the mat
ter was left with John Carpenter at
White Mound at one time expecting
that the difference would be settled.
Mr.. Carpenter afterward moved to
Spring Green. 1t is also stated that
the money was rendered at different
times and once when Mr.. Wilcox was
on his death bed
The first suit was in 1896 so that il
has been long time before the court.
There is no public road to the land
and the board of commissioners has re-
fused to decide the matter while the
land is in dispute. The Wilcox fami-
Iy has occupied the land and paid the
taxes since 1896. The land has been
leased by Mr.. Scallon to others, but
they have never been able to obtain
possession.
The land that was once purchased
for about $500 and sold for about 500 is
pow worth $500 or $4,000 an acre
something like $500 or 5000. This
shows how land values have crept up.
The attorneys for the plaintiff are
Grotophorst, Evans & Thomas ofBara-
boo and for the defen dant, f. w. Hall
