STEWART AGAIN winner
Lunatie Who ReIinquished Homestead
for Il Cents, Has Instrument
Set Aside.

Word has been received from Bis

decided the case OF William Werner,
guardian of Carl Stewart, against Jacob
Sandon, in favor of the plaintiff, set
ting aside Stewards REIMBURSEMENT of
a quarter section of Oliver county
land, on the ground that he was in
sane at the time the contract was made.
1t will be remembered that Stewart
was declared insane by the Cass coun-
ty comission.
1t was found that for seventeen
bright copper pennies that he had Civ
en- up his homestead to Sandon. While
he received a few dollars more, the
pennies were considered the main con-
sideration by him. Each one was TAX
en- for $40 gold piece by him.
In his brief to the federal officials,
Atty. Taylor Crum, who handled the
case for the plaintiff, says in part:
Stewart came to his old home with
a IS Canadian bill, two or three silver
dollars and twenty-one new, one-cent
pieces, truly a munih-cent price for
a $4,000 farm. But then, what did II
matter to these cowardly buccaneers
of Oliver county. Stewart was bug
house" "cabaut," "crazy as a bat" so
they shipped him to his brother in law
further east, Jingling his twenty lone
bright new, one cent coins in his
pocket, happy in his delusion that he
was possessed of many $40 coins Che
could not even count them correctly
and glad that he had escaped to a
haven where he would not be licked
