DEFEND oTTUMWA MEN

A lawsuit involving 1887 acres of
land in Lee county, belonging to o. O..
Newberry of Argyle, Iowa, has been
set for ten o'clock Monday morning
by Judge Henry Bank. 1t involves
acreages in the value Of 100000 and
is one of the largest suits ever in
stituted in the district court here.
Two lawyers, two bankers, a real
estate man and member of the state
board of control, all hailing from OF
tumwa, are named as defendants and
% o. Newberry is the plaintiff.
Newberry sought to borrow large
sum of money on his land and did so,
but about ten months before time for
redemption the parties by whom the
money was loaned insisted that New
berry give them a deed to his place as
security for the $4,000 loan.
Claim Absolute Sale.
After they got the deed they claim
ed that it was an absolute sale sub
ject to an optional contract back to
Newberry to redeem Oct. /, 1911.
They claimed a commission of over
Sc, 600 of Newberry. Newberry claims
there was never any agreement for
that amount and there seems to be a
misunderstanding over the large
commission demanded and the terms
Of the deal. The court is asked to
set aside the deed and that the
parties be given their money. Newber-
ry also claims that the sum Of over So
600 for a commission Is usurous and
is violation of the usury laws OF
this state. The Ottumwa people claim
that they were to have six per cent
on their money besides this enormous
commission. Newberry was dealing
with this sharp, shrewd bunch of
men without any attorney until with
in three or four hours of the time OF
redemption when he hired local at
torney to look after his interests,
but previous to that time he had de-
livered the deed to them and they fill
ed the same for record. 1t is said
that they tried to get another local
ATTORNEY here, to assign the cerifl-
Gates to them. Had they accomplish
ed their purpose it is said 1t is no
doubt that they would have gotten
deed from the sheriff as assignees
and Newberry's right would have
been forever barred, and they would
have owned the farm: but another
local attorney who represented the
certificate holders refused to comply
with their requests to assign the
certificates and they were baked in
their design. 1t is one of the largest
suits that has been brought in Lee Co.
involving the most property and 1t is
understood will be holly contested.
Victory In Bridge Tax Case.
| Judge Henry Bank heard the argu
ments in the Lee County bridge ia,
case Saturday morning, and at the
conclusion the city of Keokuk was
again the victor. Court sustained the
