OLDS ET. AL. WIN
 SUIT AGAINST DOLAN

In the case of l.. A. Olds ct al against John Dolan, Judge R. w. Jennings this morning rendered a decision finding for plaintiffs. Two points at issue in the case were decided by jury last week. the verdict being for the defend ant.
 The matter involved is the title to a certain portion of the surface of the Fraction lode mining claim situate in the town of Juneau and now known as the Golden Belt addition.
 The fraction lode claim was located in 1889. In 1896 Tom Kiernan squat ted on the land and subsequently, sold his squatter's rights to John Dolan the defendant in this action. Dolan built a house and fenced in a cOnsid- erable portion of the claim. In 1908 the owners of the lode, J. F. Malony, John Olds and l.. l.. Williams applied for patent While patent proceedings were pending, June 20, 1908, Malony and Olds signed the following memor- andum:
 "The owners of the Fraction lode claim hereby agre to convey to John Dolan the lot claimed by him as soon as they receive from the government a patent for said lode, upon his pay ment of a prOportiOnate share of the cost of obtaining said patent"
 Dolan has continued to reside on the property The land was patented in 1909 Williams never signed the above agreement. The interest of Williams and Olds has passed to other parties.
 Last spring the surface ground of the lode claim was surveyed into lots and streets as the Golden Belt adid- tion and Golden Belt avenue was laid out through the same When the sur vey was made it was found that Dol an not only had a lot enclosed but al so nearly all of the street bordering on the lot. DoIan refused to take down his fence and plaintiffs brought suit
 The above agreement was set up in the cross complaint and defendant asked the court to compel the plain tiffs to give an accouting of the costs of obtaining patent and to fix amount defendant was to pay and on condi- tion that he paid such amount to com pei plaintiff to execute a deed.
 The court in a very elaborate opin- ion held that defendant was not en- titled to the relief asked
 First-Because the contract was never completed as to description of the property; or signing by all of the parties; or as to statement of price;
 SecOnd-For want of mutuality, in that defendant Dolan was not bound;
 Because the contract was too vague and uncertain.
 Judgment was given to the plain taiff for the property involved.
 The points decided at the jury trial were as to the binding of themselves individually by signing the contract whether the other parties signed or not. The jury held that MaIony and Olds did so bind themselves. J. H. Cobb conducted the case for the plain tiffs.

President Raymond A. Pearson of
Iowa state college at Ames sees
great future for agricultural schools.
"Today there are 1875 high schools and
other small schools in Iowa teaching
agriculture, he says. part of the
work OF Iowa state college must be to
furnish teachers for these schools: II
the number Of high schools teaching
agriculture continues to increase. Ames
or other schools must graduate 500
young men yearly to fill the positions
thus created in the faculties. Pres1-
dent Pearson says the agricultural de-
partments of our colleges are growing
much faster than any other branch OF
the schools because the most lucrative
branch Of work that any young man
c;n fit himself for is that of scientific
farm management. The fact that pop
ulation is increasing more rapidly than
the agricultural development, the de-
crease in exports and the increase in
imports of dairy products, cattle and
other products of the farm gives
promise of future returns that makes
1t worth while for young man to mt
himself for scientific farming.

1uE Y. N. c, A. CONVENTION.

THE Y. NJ. =. a. NONvEN ItON'
Ottumwa is proud to have as its
guests the delegates to the Y. M. c. A..
state convention As one Of the pion-
GERS in the Y. M. G. A., movement In
Iowa, Ottumwa has always had deep
interest in the great work done by this
organization. Young men trained IN
the local association have been fitted
to take up leadership in this work in
other cities. For more than twenty
years the Ottumwa Y. M. c.. A., has
been great influence for good to the
young men and boys Of the city.
Great progress has been made in as
ISOLATION work since the former &C.
casion twenty-four years ago when Of
tumwa entertained the Y. M. G. A.
state convention. One Of the fruits
of that convention was the campaign
which resulted in giving Ottumwa it's
splendid Y. NJ. c. A. building, only two
cities, Des Moines and Cedar Rapids
having association buildings at that
time. In the quarter Of century
that has elapsed wonderful progress
has been made in Iowa Y. M. G. A..
work and Ottumwa has been closely
identified with the work and has had
it's part in bringing about the record
of achievement.
Ottumwans will hope that the state
convention now in session will exert
the same beneficial influence in extend
ing the work In other cities and towns
OF Iowa as the 1889 convention exerted
for OttumWa.

CHAPTER XVIII.
Just Thirty Minutes.

During the weeks spent by Robert
Clinton In search OF Fran's lfe-secret,
a consciousness OF absence and it's
cause was like hot iron branding
Gregory's brain. What hooking IA
tally, that It should have been Grace
to send Robert on his terrible errard
An errand which must result in ruin!
Whenever Gregory tried to anttcipate
results. he stood appalled,; hour by
hour his mind was ever darting for
ward into the future, trying to build
It of related parts of probabilities,
Mrs. Gregory would be pitied when
1t became known how she had been
deceived; Fran would be pitied be-
cause she was disowned daughter;
Grace would be pitied for trusting IN
the integrity Of her employer but
Gregory, who of all men needed pity
most, would be utterly despised. He
did not think Of himself alone, but Of
his works Of charity -they, too would
fall, In his disgrace, and Walnut
Street church-even religion Itself
would be discredited because of an ok
posure that could avail nothing.
