Millionaire And Beggar Leveled By Court Ruling
Des Moines December 18 The Iowa Supreme Court denounced a far reaching fraud involving a millionaire and a land sale scheme tied to James Callanan and the Emigrant Company. The decision upholds a deed to the land despite earlier transfers and exposes long running acts of deceit in swamp and railroad land schemes. The opinion describes legislative inefficiencies and a conflict in workers compensation language.
