John Goddard vm the owner of i allows farm which tie kijh>l to i Janes BUckson for the year of 1S90. On the second day of May In thlB year an aerolite passed oyer. Northern Iowa. Peter Hoagl^hd lived ""on a farm adjoining the Goddard property and It chanced that a member of his family watched the meteor and saw It plunge to earth on the adjoining property. Being told of this and directed to the spot where it seemed to fall Hoaglaiul went onto the Goddard farm the next day and discovered the meteorite buried in the ground to a depth of three feet. Klickson. the tenant, wsb present, but offered no objection, and Hoagland dug up^ the visitor from the heavens and transported it to his IIUUBC, naiuiiufi it lui uia unn JIIUU- J ably believing In the doctrine of j finders keepers." Three days?inter?as opportunity s offered Hougland sold the meteorite ( to H. V. Winchell, then Professor of ^ Geology at the University of Wiscon- ( sin. When John Goddard heard of , this he immediately felt that as the t aerolite had fallen on his property { it had become his and that lloagland j had no rights therein. He decided , to enforce his rights against Prof. , WineheH. WInchell having purchased from Hoagland had no better ^ rights than the man from whom ho , bought. If Hoagland had no rights . to the meteorite Winchell could not j retain it against the claims of the j r'gUtful owner. -v The court v Itich fried the case , ruled that the Under had no rights , in the fallen mass, but that it became iho property of the person who owned the laud upon which it fell. Tints when ft fell upon Goddard's farm it became part of that farm, real property belonging to Goddard. The court viewed it as much a part of the farm as the stones that might be upon U. They insisted it was not Hit matter with no owner to which any finder might lay claim. In deciding the ca^e the Judge said: '"Through the action of the elements. wind and water, the soil of one nnn is taken and UepoalteiLJiL . the Held of another: ami thus all over" the country!" we may* say. changes are constantly going on. By these natural causes the owners of the wisdom of the controlling forces shad determine. By these operations ore may he affected with a substantia! gain, and another by a similar TCTT?thwnNlW in-" of an ret inn ^ . and the deposit becomes the property of the owner of the soil on which it , i? made." Thus we notice the rule of law ^ that changes made by natural forces , trust be allowed to stand.. If a river washes away n portion of a person's land. that soil cannot be pursued and brought back. Art owiiei iiiiti keep it at home, but once gone his title has vanished. If by the action , of Ihe waTers; or the winds, or any 1 other natural forces additions are made to the body of a person's land j the additions become par; and parcel ( of the land and the property of the , owner of that land. These additions are what the law terms accretions. John Deerfield owned a tract of 1 land through w hich ran Buck Creek. 1 He sold to Alson Arms a farm of about sixty acres, one boundary be- 1 ins" Back C?eeT?:~BucX Creek gradually shifted its course, year by year. 1 depositing sail Against Arms' lund. 1 In the course of a few years several acres had thus been added. Deer- ' field claimed that this property had 1 not been transferred to Arms but that be still owned it ami could use 1 cr transfer It. He contended this I the more strongly as he still owned ' the property on the other side of thej1 stream upon which the stream had encroached thus leaving additional land upon the other side. He Insisted that the property lines should 1 remain as they were when he granted the land and that the soil left by the, stream when shifting across properly belonged to him. The court refused to adopt his view and ruled that the Dr. Samuel VETERINAR Phone! At J. E. Win GREENVII i idded noil which had coaje to Arms iradually, year by year, waa 10b. and j :hat Deerfield could not foitgw-what] lad been loat to. him by the forces of lature. John Halsey and Warren McCormlck owned farms on opposite sides if Mad Elver, the fctream forming the boundary between them. One spring Jay when the water waa running at 5ood tide the river broke through onto some low land on Halsey's property cutting lta way across a neck of land and eventually establishing a new channel with HaJsey's boundaries leaving several acres on the other tide of the stream. McCormick claimid thht as the river was the boundary between their properties he now hold title to the new channel, Juat as hough the stream had shifted grad-> tally cutting away ground "from the nalde of the bend on Halsey's land ind depositing the soil on the outside of the bend on his land. The iifforcnces between the men wore aken to court'and it was ruled that ;he boundaries of the farms deraain?d those of the original channel, the tudden change not affecting the tltle^ >f either party. They had formerly leld to the thread of the old stream ind now their boundary was the line that had marked, the thread of the Thus a distinction is drawn between gradual and sudden changes, j Sudden shifting of streams does not work changes in the boundaries of' property, whereas the gradual shift* ing means a shifting of boundaries. Thus to amount to accretion which ylU give title to the owner against whose property the new soil is deposited the process must be imperceptible. The rule laid down by the law to determine whether a change has been imperceptible is that to be imperceptible it must be. so gradual that observers cannot see tho process going on. and if they cannot it is Imperceptible even though cboervatic^ns at considerable intervals disclose thai a change has taken place.In the case of property bordering on a non-navigable stream or small lake the owner takes title to tho center of the body of water. In the case of a stream the thread of the stream "dg the boundary of a tract granted with the stream as a boundary, lu such cases thFowheFOT land~adjoftr*ing the water owns land under the water as well. Of course", land may be granted merely to the high water mark, the rights to the land under water being reserved, but this is unusual. The owner of land borderriv? uu ? stream who also owns Ihr, land under water may extend his property by filling in 30 long as he floes not interfere with the course of the stream, or interfere with any rights of the public or of private parties. if an island appears In a body of water it becomes the property of the person who owned the land un-' ler the water upon WllU'h it?vrtcnformed. If the owner of the land adjoining a stream owns to the center j or flic stream. Istanils forming-on his side of the stream become his property. Islands* forming In the center I jfsthe stream are divided according to the old boundary line. Cases have arisen where islunds and other lands have been submerg?d and have sub&ejuently reappeared. | In such Instances the former owner regains his possession and title. It la stated/above that land owners own to the center of non-naviga-1 ble waters. In the case of navigable water the public, generally speaking, holds the title to the bed. Thus Is-j lands forming in navigable streams' would belong; to the state and the state may resist all extensions of the property adjoining the navigable wa-j ier past the normal edge qf the stream or lake. The courts have no little difficultyI in determining whether waters are I navigable or not and the various I states are in* conflict. The old English rule was that waters In which the tide ebbed and flowed were navi-; gable, whether they were used by large boats for purposes of com* {Continued on Pago Three.) i 0.
