INJUNCTION FOR REMOVAL OF
OBSTRUCTION DENIED BY

FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS
Court Holds that Plaintiffs BY Reason
of Acquiesccnce in Dixie During
Twenty eight Years We're Stopped
From Interference Under Limitations
Aet-Lons Legal Contest Ended.
pecial to Times Republican.

Special to Times Republican,.
Clinton, March ia decision, be-
l.eved to be the most important Legal
opinion ever handed down in the Jack
son county district court, has just
been rendered by Judge NJ. f. Done
gan, of Davenport, in the famous
Green Island dixie" case.
Judge Donegan's opinion, which is a
lngthy document, virtually declares
the five-mile dixie, built to hold the
Maauoketa river within its banks and
to prevent the flooding of the town of
Green Island, located about twenty-five
miles up the Mississippi river from
Clinton, to be legal dixie" and denies
an injunction to have it removed.
The decision was made the occasion
Of great rejoicing by the Green Island
Itownspeople. who held big celebra-
ton in honor of the event few days
lago. The case was one of the hardest
fought legal battles ever staged in
eastern Iowa, both sides having an ex-
ceptional array of legal talent.
Action Involves 10000 Acres.
The suit involved something like 40
900 acres Of land, including practically
the entire town of Green Island. and
the number of people who were parties
t. the suit forms formidable array
Of names. The abbreviated title OF the
case is august Krumvielde. ct al, VS..
August Marburger, Ct al; c. f. Shaf-

The courts decision is also impor-
4ant in another way inasmuch as it
paves the way legally for possible
r,opening of a criminal action for the
alleged blowing up Of the big dam. dur

Ing the early part Of the year 1915. An
explosion one night caused a largo
breach In the dam allowing the waters
to break thru and cover large area.
Mansler Twice Found Guilty"
A farmer residing a little farther UP
the Maquoketa river, named Charles
Manger was charged with having
blown UP the dam. He was tried twice
/, the district court at Maquoketa. and
| II each instance verdict of guilty"
was returned. and each time the YER
dict was set aside but for different
reasons.
The first trial took place before
Judge \. p. Barker, of Clinton, who
set aside tho guilty" verdict on the
grounds of insufficient evidence. In
the next trial, Judge A. J. House. of
Maquoketa, set aside the jury's de-
csion of guilty" on the grounds that
the dixie was not legal dixie but was
n nuisance and that therefore no real
property damage was done. This was
in 1915.
Decision Withheld Two Years.
In tho spring of 1915. the plaintiffs
j, tho present case filed suit asking
for an injunction commanding the ro-
moval of the dixie. claiming that it
caused the Maquoketa river to back
water, nooting their farm lands l"cat-
ed little farther up the stream. Tho
defendants were largely citizens Of
Green Island, and they were Joined in
their, defense Of the dam by large ad-
ditional list of town property owners.
The big case came to trial during
the July term Of court in 1916. at
Maquoketa, but Judge Donegan. VINO
heard the case. withheld his decision
for almost two years his opinion hav-
ing just been handed down. He ruled
that the plaintiffs by reason of their
|acquiescence in the dixie during the
twenty Eight years of its existence
were estopped and precluded from in
reference with the dixie, under the
mutations act
The decision that the dixie is legal
dixie" may affect the setting aside nf
the verdict in the second trial of

Their criminal action is also precluded
by the statute of limitations.

Special to the rimes-Republican.

Special to the Times Republican.
Des Moines, March 1.-THE merger
OF Des Moines College and Highland
Park College here has been perfected
The faculty and students of Des
Moines College moved over to High
land Park Friday and the two colleges
have been merged as one institution.
The buildings and plant Of the High
land Park College will be used and it
rs probable the institution will be call
ed Highland Park.
Des Moines College has been in oper-
alton heer as Baptist denomination
since 1865. Highland Park was found
ed in 1889 on the north edge of the
city of Des Moines and for most of the
time has been privately owned.
Courses in liberal arts, normal training,
commercial courses. pharmacy. engi-
neering. and professional courses have
been maintained. Des Moines College
MAS confined it's courses to liberal arts
and allied courses.
DR.. John A. Earl, who has been
president OF Des Moines College, will
be the president of the merged insti-
tuition. He announced in the special
exercises of Friday morning that while
the new institution will be Christian
it will not be UNCONVENTIONAL.
De. Moines College to Disappear.
+ Des Moines College has had the loyal
support of the Baptists thru all the
years Of its existence. Its board OF
trustees had been planning to enlarge
the institution and build new buildings
on a tract in the north part of the city,
sthe present college building having
been outgrown. When the opportunity
presented itself to take over the High
land Park plant merger was perfect
ed in which the two schools joined.
The present college buildings and
grounds of Des Moines College are in
first class residence district and the
grounds are worth far more than
when they were obtained by the col,
lege. It is probable the grounds VIII
be sold off for building lots and the
buildings either torn down or repul't
for flats for residence purpose.
The business men who we're interest,"
ed in the Highland Park property en-
deavored to get the Methodist demon
ination to take it over While at the
same time making proffers to the bap-
lists. With the exception of those
particularly interested however the
Methodists did not take to the proposal
and the movement to have TINS chufeii
take II over was dropped.
