Trust.

value of $S75, 900 to 800. 900. The land is in
Marshall, Wright and Dickinson counties,
Iowa, and Marshall county, Illinois.
The case dates back to 1901, when Fort,

cages for the land to Mrs. Colby and Sc
cured the mortgages with trust deeds. All
of the leases for the and were turned over
to her, and she has since leased a great
deal more OF it and sold many hundreds
of it's acres.
Claiming that the deeds he gave were
but trust deeds and only secured the mort
gage. Fort brought suit asking that the
court allow him the privilege of redeeming
the land. Mrs. Colby, In contesting the
suit, alleged the deeds represented bonafide
sales OF the land to her. She had in the
meantime already sold much of the land.
Judge Lee in his decision holds that Fort
has the right TO redeem the land, which
virtually establishes his title to 1t. The
decree is not to be entered In the case until
an accounting OF the revenues derived from
the land by Mrs. Colby which she has
received during the eight years she has
been in possession is had. This accounting
is to be had in the Clarion court during
this winter, when 1t is expected to establish
the amount 1t will require to redeem the
properties.

City, Caught the Fancy Of the
Great italian.

The late Parke Goodwin. editor, au-
tnor. and son-in-law of William Cullen
Bryant. should be numbered among
tne prominent Americans Of yesterday
VINO enjoyed the personal friendship
OF Garibaldi, Italy's liberator.
1 never think of Garibaldi and his
lie In America without recalling the
Incidents connected with my introduc-
uon to him Of my friend Mike"
Walsh" remarked Mr.. Goodwin sew
eral years before his death, which
occurred In 1904.
Mike Walsh, whose name is for
gotten now by all except few of US
old timers who will soon have to fol-
low him among the great majority,
was q rough man of strong, original
MIND, natural born leader, especially
with that element of our population
which came to this country in the
days of the great emigration from
Ireland. He landed a penniless peas
ant In the new world. but by the time
Garibaldi fed to the United States
Walsh had become an influential polit.
ical leader, very powerful opponent
OF Tammany Hall, and member of
congress from New York city. BY
that time. too. he had won recognition
as an extremely picturesque and force
ful speaker. having natural gifts of or
atory that appealed to the masses.
when I told Walsh that had ar
ranged for him to spend an afternoon
with Garibaldi at the latter's little
home on Staten island, where the
great Italian made his candles, Mike
was as pleased as a child. But that
strong. fearless mani think a man
OF the most dauntless personal cour-
age that I have ever known-became
as timid as child once we had
started on our way to Garibaldis.
Mr.. Goodwin he asked, in a most pa
thetic and yet laughable manner, how
shall I behaved Garibaldi has enter
tanned many Of the big men. Mr.. VIII
liam M. Evarts has been to see him,
and many others as noted. Why, I
have been told that he has even met
the governor Of the state. l shall not
not know how to act when l am with
him. I am not used to meeting such
as he.'
Walsh I said, don't try to act.
Just be yourself. and everything viii
be all right,

That. of course. was not the exact
phraseology that fell from Mike
Walsh's lips: It was OF the rough and
ready sort. and quaint. as were all his
replies to Garibaldi's many questions.
Yet SO Impressed was Garibaldi In
Walsh that he seemed almost uncon-
scious OF my own presence. In fact.
right up to the hour of our departure
Garibaldi gave practically all of his at
tention to Walsh and as he babe him
