COLBYS MUST
Give BACK LAND
DIES MONIES PEOPLE LOSE TO
MARSHAILTOWN
MAN

| Marshalltown. June 21.-The end o.
an unusual lawsuit and highly imnor
ant in that it involves the title to q
half million dollars worth OF larn
land in Iowa and Illinois, has just
been reached in the fling OF the
courts decree in the Wright county
district court at Clarion. -
w. J. Fort of this city, a son.in.laW
of the late Phineas Stevens, former
president of the Marshalltown State
bank. was the plaintiff in the suit and
the principal defendants were Mrs
Mary E. Colby of Chicago and Des
Moines. and her son, Charles H. Colby
Of Des Moines. BY the decree Fort
is given possession of almost 1000
acres Of land in Wright county, Iowa.
and Marshall county, Illinois, worth
over 100000, besides Judgment for
$4,000 in cash, representing rentals
on the land since the litigation began
over two years ago.
Stevens Estate Land.
The land involved represents the
bulk of the Stevens estate, which at
Stevens death went to his daughter,
Mrs. Fort, and passed from her to her
husband at the time of her death.
In 1901, according to the records OF
the case, Fort borrowed of the Colbys
s155, 900, giving as security deeds TO
1855 acres of land situated i'll Dickin-
son, Marshall and Wright counties,
Iowa and Marshall county, Illinois,
and in 1908 brought suit to redeem
the land claiming that the deeds to
the property were nothing more than
mortgages and that he had the right
Of redemption.
The Colbys alleged that the deeds
were absolute conveyances Of title,
and that Fort had no redemption
right. The case was tried before Judge
G.. H. Lee Of Ames, whose decree has
just been filed.
The court holds that Colby shall,
within forty days, deed to Fort the $40
acres in Wright county and $40 acres
in Marshall county, ILL.,, and that Fort
shall have judgments aggregatlng
about $4,000 as rentals received from
the land since it has been in the pos
session Of the defendants.
Must Wipe Out Mortgages.
The land turned over by CODY
must De ClSdTSu VI oil 1uoCoIOoAASSo
within forty days, which includes the
wiping out Of $4,000 in mortgages on
the two parcels. The clerk OF the dis
trict court of Wright county is made
a special commissioner to act in case
the defendants fail to comply with
the decree.
The land in Wright county has an
estimated value Of $50 to 500 per
acre, and the Illinois tract Is estl-
mated to be worth 800 to $125 an
acre so that the two tracts, turned
over to Fort, are worth somewhere
around $1o3,50O besides the $4,000 IN
cash that the plaintiff will receive.
The decree has wide interest
from the fact that many innocent pur-
chasers of the land, scattered through
out many parts of the country, were
made co-defendants in the action, the
Colbys having. it was alleged, sold
various quantities Of the original
acreage after acquiring the property.
