LITIGATE
Son Brings Suit Over
Fee in Divorce
Case
Benton Farm His- Mother
Deeded to Lawyers for
Getting Divorce From
His Fattier
A lawsuit of unusual character has
been brought In tho circuit court for
Benton county. It It a son suea two
lawycra for possession of a Benton
county farm, which was deeded by his
mother to ono of tho lawyers, a3 trus
tee, in payment of a fee for tho ser
vices of the attorney in securing a
decree of dlvorco from plaintiff's fath
er. The case will como up for hearing
at the November term of court.
The plaintiff In tho case Is James
Hamilton, aged 21 years. Tho farm
which ho seeks by tho lawsuit to have
deeded back to him, is a part of tho
Belcher donation claim, nejar Josso
Foster's place, in Benton county,, and
Is now occupied by Elmer Dlnges.
The young man's mother was Anna
Hamilton, who died In March, 1901.
and the father wns John Hamilton.
The complaint alleges that in
December, 1900, the mother secured
tho services of W. H. Holems and
Webster Holmes as attorneys to take
charge of Her suit for divorce against
her husband, John Hamilton. The
suit also provldoj for a proper settle
ment of business arrangements be
tween the wife and husband, and in
January 1901 a decree of dlvorco wa3
granted. The Benton country farm,
which comprises 319 acres of land
and Is valued In the complaint at
$2000 was the wife's portion of the
community property as provided for
In the decree. This farm, on the day
the dlvorco was granted, Anna Hamil
ton conveyed by deed to Wobstor
Holmes, as trustee, the consideration
being named at $500.
At that time, James Hamilton, tho
plaintiff, according to complaint was
bat 18 years of age. Three months
liter the mother died at Denver,
Colorado. Since attaining his major
ity, James Hamilton says in the com
plaint, he has made demand on W. H.
Holmes and Wobstor Holmes for re
turn of tho farm to him, but this
they refuse to do, claiming that the
farm was tho fee they received for
conducting the divorce case for Anna
Hamilton. The plaintiff alleges that
250 would bo a reasonable fee for
the service and that ho is willing that
tho attorneys should bo allowed that
amount. He asks the court to require
tho lawyers to give him proper deed
for tho farm, free of a mortgage of
$700 which has been placed on tho
plafco since it was deeded to Webster
