HEIRS BRING SUIT TO RECOVER
BLACK HAWK COUNTY FARM
LOST in 1874.
FORMER OWNER eAvE.DEED
AS SECURITY FOR GROCERIES
Heirs Claim Farm Was Turned Over
With Understanding That it Was to
Be Returned When Bill Was Liqui-
dated From RentaIs-Now Valuable
Piece Of Property.

Waterloo. Jan. 27.-Acceding to the
wishes of her creditor, whom she owed
about 1884, Elizabeth Keepers in Dun
leith, now East Dubuque, in 1874, gave
him a deed to eighty acres of land in
section %, Mt. Vernon township, this
county, as security until the rentals
should be sufficient to wipe out the
debt, and he still owns the land.
This is the unusual allegation made
in Il suit for accounting brought in dis
rrict court here by Elizabeth, Lottie A.,
William E. and Isaac f. Keepers
against John Olinger.
The complaint asks for an account
ing, that the court decree the amount
plaintiffs owe the defendant so they
may pay it, that the deed to the land
in question be decreed a mortgage for
the security of the payment of the
debt, and on payment of the same the
mortgages be ordered Cancelled and
defendant be decreed to have held the
premises as trustees with beneficiary
interest, together with such other relief
DIS the court may grant.
Remarkable Statement in Bill.
1t is alleged in the complaint that
prior to June, 1874, the plaintiff, Eliza
beth Keepers, was housekeeper in the
town of Dunlieth, and living with her
were her two minor children-Albertina
and Frederick. 1t is set forth that Mrs.
Keepers became indebted to the de-
PENDANT prior to June, that year, for
groceries, the amount of which she
says was not above 1884. To secure the
debt it is said Olinger urged her to
apply to the circuit court of Black
Hawk county for authority to sell the
interest of the minor children in the
farm in question in Mt. Vernon town.
ship, and urged herself and adult chill
dren to join in a deed transferring to
defendant the eighty acres of land as
security, and security only, for the debt.
lit is stated that when the rentals and
profits of the farm were sufficient to
discharge the debt, the defendant would
lat once reconvey the premises to Mrs.
Keepers and her children. 1t is averred
that this procedure was followed thru;
that the title to the farm was duly and
legally transferred to defendant. 1t is
alleged that from that time on, with
the exception of the years 1856, when
plaitiff, Isaac Keepers, had the rentals,
defendant has had the proceeds from
the farm Plaintiffs claim that the rent
ais have>>been sufficient in tthe thirty
four years that defendant had the
premises to wipe away the debt. but it
is alleged that defendant claims the
debt has not Vet been Inundated. 1t is
stated in the complaint that the reason
why defendant desired deed rather
than q mortgage was that he would be
better able to handle the property, and
could sooner get the pay for the debt.
Plaintiffs claim that the original debt
and interest have been liquidated, and
ask the court to declare them the own
ers Of the property.
