ested in several cases heard by Judge
W. L. McNamara today, which was
really a very busy one for the judge,
clerk, bailiffs and attorneys, as con
trasted with the usual run of business
that can be sifted down to a few daily
criminal cases.
The case of Kate Niland vs. Iowa
Telephone Company and R. C. Mc
llwain as intervenor was disposed of.
It was a suit involving a vacant lot
on the corner of Fifth and Des
Moines in which both Mrs. Niland and
Rev. Mcllwain claimed rent from the
Iowa Telephone Company. The Tele
phone company did not dispute the
fact that rent was due, but delayed
paying same because there was an un
certainty as to the ownership of the
lot. Mrs. Niland claimed ownership
of the lot, while Rev. Mcllwain claim
ed ownership by tax deed. The suit
was settled and dismissed by court
upon agreement that Rev. Mcllwain
gets the rent due from the telephone
company to date and that he then
make a quit claim deed to Mrs. Niland
for all interest in said property.
Dolan-Ricker Case.
The case of B. A. Dolan vs. Lennie
Ricker, D. W. Haggerty and L.
Umshler had to do with rent and
hogs. Dolan claimed a balance due
on rent of land in the Hawkeye addi
tion to Lennie Ricker. It seems as
though the first named defendant
rented the land and then secured a
number of hogs from Messrs. D. W.
Haggertw and L. Umshler to take care
of, the agreement between the parties
being that they were to divide the
money made on the increase of the
hogs from the time they were given
to Ricker to the time they were sold.
Thus one-half of the increase in
weight was to be Lennie Ricker's
profit in the deal, or rather the money
received for taking care of them.
Dolan asks for a landlord's lien on
this increase. The arguments this
morning were on a motion. Attorney
Dolan in his own interests wanted the
whole issue tried as an equitable pro
ceeding, while Attorney Miller, rep
resenting the defendants, wanted the
case divided, part to be argued on a
question of law, and the question of
The case of H. H. Crow vs. William
Oertel has been transferred from the

plaintiff to secure judgment in the
sum of $50 alleged to be commission
due for the sale of the old Oertel
homestead near the cemetery.
