David Lund, who Sold Farm
to A. F. Schrader, Claim
ed to be of Uns0und
Mind.
ASK FOR ANNULLMENT
Petition Filed in Court Ask
ing That Sale be set
Aside.

In petition filed in the office of the
county clerk, LOrandis Lund, guardian
of David Lund claimed to be of unsOund
mind, and Sophia Lund are asking that
a contract made between the ward and
A. f. Schrader and Mrs. A. F. Schra-
der. be rescinded and cancelled. The
plaintiffs claim that certain contract
for the sale Of land was made at the
time David Land was irresponsible,
and that the defendants took adj
vantage OF that fact.
According to the, petition, by the
terms of the alleged sale contract,
David Lund delivered deed to 100
acres of land in Kossuth county, in
return for which he received a deed to
$50 acres of land in Hardin county.
1t is also claimed that Lund was to
assume and pay $17,275 mortgage OH
the land he received and drainage
tax of $1,000, while Schrader was to
assume a drainage tax of $500 on the
land he purchased and to pay the plain
tiff $3,O25.
Attack Consideration.
The petition claims that this cOnsid-
Grafton is grossly inadequate: that the
land owned by Lund was worth more
than paid by Schrader. while the
amount paid to Schrader was consider
ably more than his land was worth.
The plaintiffs charge that while the
defendant received $33,75O for his land,
it is worth only $50 800, and ask that if
the contract is not rescinded, damages
Of $11,2jO he allowed them.
The information in the petition
states that David Lund was first ad-
judged insane in 1913, at which time
he was committed to tile state hospital
at Cherokee, but later was discharged
as improved. and that in 1919 he was
again confined in the state hospital.
The contract between the ward and
Schrader was made in September 1913.
a petition has also been filed with
the county clerk for the foreclosure OF
a note, the case being F. w. Umbreit

No Hint Of Action.

Indianapolis, Ind, Nov. 1O.-NO hint
as to the action sOf the international
officers of the United Mine Workers OF
America in their conference today could
be obtained this morning, despite the
action of the executive council of the
American Federation of Labor in Wash
ington last night. The federation conn
cil's statement, issued in support Of the
strike of 425,OOO bituminous coal min
ers, was believed in many quarters to
presage a fight on the part of the min.
ers, assisted by labor in general against
the mandatory injunction Of Federal
Judge Anderson in indianapolis Satur'
day, ordering calling OF the strike.
Today's Meeting.
TOday's meeting set for 10 O'Clock
this morning was called following the
issuance of Judge AndersOn's order.
All the members of the general com
mittee of the mine workers. including
International officers, district presidents
and members of the executive board
and scale committee were present, il
was said, when the conference ASSEMBLE
ed in the Lincoln Hotel shortly before
II o'clock.
The executive board room at head.
quarters would not accommodate the
full membership Of the general commit,
tee, and the meeting was transferred to
the hotel assembly room.

ACCIDENT INVERTED.

An accident was narrowly averted on the Douglas road Sunday when an automobile driven by J. Duncan skidded in the wheel tracks and ran down a bank. The car was travelling at a fair speed and only the clever manipulation of the driver averted an accident. Several passengers were in the car at the time.
