Mlh,on VERDICT AFFIRMED.
Humboldt District Court Upheld In
Contest for Newspaper Ownership.

Humboldt District Court Upheld In
Contest for Newspaper Ownership.
Special to Times Republican. :
Des Moines, Oct. 2o.-The supreme
court in an opinion just handed down
has sustained the district court of
Humboldt county in the case of A. u.
Minion against C. w. Adams and
others, in which MiINon was awarded
the property and business of the Hum
bcldt Independent, the old newspaper
published for SO many years by the
late AL Adams.
aiinion's contention, that he was
promised the property, by oral agree
ment or contract by A1Adams and also
his wife, out of consideration Of the
fact that he had worked for Mr..
Adams from his youth up and had
lived with the family to the time or
his marriage as their own son.
Minion had. nothing but the testi-
mcny OF his own family to support
his claim that he was to have this
property. However, it was common
knowledge of the older residents or
Humboldt that he had made his home
with the Adams household and had
worked in the newspaper office from
the time he was a boy. Following his
marriage however, he stated in his
testimony, he had planned to leave the
employ Of the Humboldt Independent
because he was not making enough
and he declared at this time the oral
contract was renewed that he was to
have the property Of the paper and
the real estate in connection Herewith
out of consideration for his long years
Of service.
The lower court sustained him in his
contention and row the supreme court
has upheld it.
