Decided in Lees Favor in Dubuque Machinery Case
The Iowa Supreme Court largely upheld a lower court ruling in favor of Timothy Dilton and associates against PD Jry, Lee, and others over advances tied to the Dubuque Specialty Machine works. The decision affirmed that Lee improperly funded a half interest for Smith, with disputes over authorization and private matters between Lee and a Chileno attorney. The case traces a long sequence of loans, stock, and patent deals from 1891 involving the Telegraph company and various defendants and plaintiffs.

Court restricts power to value executrix services in probate case
Supreme Court holds that courts cannot arbitrate the value of an executrix or trustee’s extraordinary services. When services are extraordinary, compensation must align with testimony. The case involves Richard Farsley’s estate where trust funds and annual interest were handled by the wife as executrix, with a court-ordered reduction of her annual service charge from 1 percent to 100 dollars. The decision preserves testimony-based valuation and official accounting.
