FIGHT OVER DESERTED ALLEY.
Queer Land Case to Be Heard in Har'
din County Court.


Special to Times Republican.
Eldora Nov. 6.-A queer case will
be on for trial before Judge Lee tomor7
row, Tuesday. The issues as now
draw n are about as follows: Years ago
one J. l.. Fiarr now deceased, bought
block II. original town plat OF the
city Of Eldora. Later he disposed OF
the property to Luther Devendorf, who
subsequently transferred the property
to other parties. Devendorf, several
years later. Went before j. NJ. Stout,
then auditor of Hardin county, and
asked that the auditor list tract OF
land eight feet wide and 12S feet long
for taxation under the section OF the
code which gives the auditor authority
to assess omitted property. This the
auditor did and at a tax sale later
this strip of land was bid in by F. III.
Noble and subsequently the deed to it
was bought by Frank Devendorf, son Of
Luther. Devendorf then insisted that
the strip OF land being in his possession
gave him the right to its use for what
ever purpose he saw fit. But to this
adjacent property owners objected be-
cause OF the fact that certain buildings
had been erected on part OF the land
in controversy and further because OF
the fact that years ago the city coun-
Gil by resolution vacated the alley. Last
summer one Peter Jensen had Deven-
dorf enjoined from using the alley for
garden or other purposes on the theory
that even IL Devendorf did have pos
session Of the land in controversy the
deed was Of no value because the
statute Of limitations run against
him. Meanwhile great many people
are wondering who is going to be the
goat.

FIND ROADS uNDRAeeeo.
Postoffiee inspector Visits Hardin
County Rural Routes.

Special to Times Republican.
Eldora, Nov. George S. Bassett,
of Fort Dodge, postoffice inspector,
was here for several days last week
for the purpose Of going over certain
rural routes out Of this city and to
view the roads along the routes. The
law Of Iowa is mandatory with refer
ence to the farmea8 living upon rural
routes to drag the road and keep the
same in good condition. Your cor
respondent is informed that the in
spector found large number Of miles
on the routes traversed where no at
tention whatever had been given to
the highway. 1t is the policy Of the
government that in cases where the
public highway is not properly dragged
and put in shape for travel to have
the route upon which these conditions
exists abandoned. Under the rural
delivery act farmers have the benefit
OF having their mail delivered to their
doors without cost and it would seem
as nothing more than fair that the
government should insist that the
-oads be kept at all times in good con-
ditiOn.
