Some Prospect of Further Litiga
tion Over the Estate of Col.
George Davenport.
INVOLVES VALUABLE PEOPERTY
Mrs. Ferkel, an Heir, Consults Law
yers in Ilegard to Her
Highte.
There seems to be some prospect of
fresh litigation over the estate of Col.
(Jeore Davenport, father of the late
I'.ailey Davenport, who has been lea:l
many years. As is generally known
he was a very extensive property
holder about the three eities and at
his death there was trouble over tin
division of the estate between the
everal children, the late I'.ailey Dav
enport receiving a larv portion.
The party who now is threatening'
to bring the matter onec more into
eourt is Mrs. Kliabeth Ferkel, of this
county, who has been consulting at
torneys here and in . Davenport with
reference to the matter. Mrs. Fer
kel is one of the children of Col. Dav
enport and at the time of the sett Mug
of the estate she claims to have been
cut off in the will with $l,000. This she
objected to and a suit followed in
which she was the loser. She claims
to have Keen offered at one time $1..
000 if she would sign away her rights
in the estate, but she refused to do
so and has since maintained that she
was entitled to. recover a larger sum
than that should justice be done.
Worth Million
The lan.l included in the original
estate now constitutes the site of
some of the most nourishing addi
tions to the three cities and is prob
ably now worth a million dollars, at
the very least. Should Mrs. Ferkel
succeed in making good her claim a
large number of people would find
titles to their homes involved. In view
of the decision of the court at the
time of the original contests, how
ever, it is not considered by those
familiar with the case that Mrs. Fer
kel's efforts are likely to be attended
with much success.

Report That Medicine Company
Will Leave City Untrue.
Over in Davenport the people have
been congratulating themselves on
account of the fact that they believ
ed they were to get 'the Lightning
Medicine company which removed
from Muscatine to this city a couple
of years ago and Which,, is now loca
ted in the Industrial Home building
on Twenty-first street." The Argus is
very glad to state, however, that it is
all a mistake.
The reason the ' , Davcnportcrs
thought they were to secure the
flourishing concern was mi account
of the' fact that incorporation papers
have been filed in the Scott county
ollice for the removal of the head
quarters from Muscatine, where they
have remained since the removal of
the plant here. .-wv--
Deing Incorporated under the Iowa
law the directors were compelled to
maintain nominal headquarters at
Muscatine and go fliere when they
desired-to hold a bu'Ji'.ess meeting.
In order to hold the advantage of the
Iowa laws and at the same time bring
the headquarters to a more conveni
ent point it was decided to certify to
the removal to Davenport, and that
city will, succeed to M usca t ine's hon
or as the nominal headquarters of
the1 company. The plant and real
headquarters will continue to be in
this eity.
The concern is incorporated at
$100,000. of which $)3,000 Kits been
paid. up. The other' $:7.uml is now
made 'preferred tlWk to bVJJ-alled in

had been originally intended. This
will give better access to the bluff
district of Moline from this city than
