All pending litigation over the wills
of the late Judge II. Lyle Dckey and
Mrs. Dickey is at an end, the heirs
having compromised the matter to
the satisfaction of all interested par
ties. After the death of Mrs. Judge
Dickey, J. j. Dlckey filed a bill in the
Superior Court at Chicago, claiming
that by the will of Judge Dickey the
property was to be held in trust by
the widow for the benefit of the heirs
after her death. The case has been
in the courts about two years.
The heirs of Mrs. Dickey will get
the property owned by her personally
and the property left by the Judge
will go to his heirs. The entire estate
is worth about 100000.

As to Highways,

WIN luis uiiC
afternoon sewer endeavOrs, as usual,
to smut the FREE TRADER by charg-
ing it with defending the highway
commissioners as to the charges he
makes. In view of his late successful
failure to have the commissioners in
dicted, no defense of criminal charge
seems to be necessary, and none has
been made by us. The commissioners
can fight their own battles. The FREE
TRADER has not much doubt the COM
missiOners of highways of Ottawa
have done just what thirty-seven
other boards of highway commission
ers in La Sale county have done
wasted and frittered away the high
way moneys. The highway system
invites such waste. That the com
missiOners have stolen or misapprOpri :
ated money. the FREE TRADER is not
prepared to atfirm-the report of the
board of town auditors who meet
to-day to audit the accounts may be
able to affirm or deny that statement.
The FREE TRADER believes two things
are necessary in relation to the high
way moneys and the care of the roads:
~ That the expenditure of those
moneys should be taken out of the
hands of the thirty-seven boards in
this county, who are largely irrespOnsi-
BILE bodies, and placed in the hands of
a responsible road commission in each
county; ~ that, if the system remains
as it is, the men who are elected to the
Office of commissioner shall be men
known to be practical road builders.
The present board is probably as honest
as any board the town has had in
twenty years; and the FREE TRADER
does not propose to say now that Mr.
LOOney and Mr.. Heating, who have
always been counted among honest
men, are thieves just because a pro-
fesSional panderer says they are, but
we cannot say we have an Overwhelm-
ing confidence in their skill as road
builders. What this town needs is
what every other town in this county
needs-a board of highway commits
siOners who are known to be road
builders and who are known to be men
who have the interests of the roads at
heart. Men of that kind take the
Office as men take the Office of mayor
or alderman, expecting it will be to
them personally loss of time with
little, if any, compensation for it. Our
city streets were built by that kind of
men. Under our present road system,
if any roads are ever built they will be
built by that kind of men. AS that
kind of men are hard to find, the roads
should be placed in the hands Of a
commission, who are paid an adequate
salary for their time and talents and
held to strict personal accounting
for the moneys expended and the man
ner of their expenditure. When that
day comes this county may get some
roads. AS long as the men elected to
build roads have to get their pay for
the time expended by them out of the
perquisities Of the office, there never
will be any roads, even until doomsday.

The Joliet Neics calls the verdict of
the Coroner'S jrry in the Jessie White
case, in substance that she had shot
herself in temporary lit of insanity.
"The End of the Sensation" That is
about as, heartless as the suggestion In
another paper that she was herself the
author of the prosecuting letters, an
insinuation which her father shows
involves sheer impossibility. There
is slight show of probability, howev-
er, in another intimation that has been
thrown out, that the prosecutor of
Jessie White was a person of own sex.
There are certainly cases of female
malignity on record that show the sex
capable of putting the worst men to
blush in that line. But though the
prosecutor may not be man, and Jes-
sic may have been stark mad, the 'Sen-
SatiOn' should not be allowed to end
until the whole matter is pr0bed to
the bottom.

Supervisor Avery, of this census dis
trict, has received instructions from
Washington to employ no persons as
enumerators who havelbeen connected
with the assessment of property for
taxation. The reason for 1t is obvious
The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1890-03-29

enough. The assessor seldom finds
half the property man owns and up
on what he does find puts never over a
third OF Its real value. The object Of
the census Is to get full and accurate
statement OF every persons property
and products and their full value, and
knowing the enumeration has nothing
to do with taxation, the natural in
clination OF most persons is to make
good showing, but they would hard
ly do 1t to a late assessor to whom they
had just made such poor mouth. But
how about making the enumeratOr
this year the assessor next year? Very
likely he would be amazed to find how
impoverished people had become who
seemed so comfortable year ago.

is life of Dir Edward MdGlynn, with a
support of the deposed Catholic priest
and his theories against the Roman
Catholic church. 1t appears the book
was dedicated to Cardinal Gibbons
without his consent. The book is on
sale all over the country, but has just
come to the notice of Cardinal Gibbons,
who caused to be sent to the publishers

was unauthorized, and asking that its

Excitement over To-Morrow's Football
Game at Springti Id
CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Nov. 81. ALL is ex'
eitement and enthusiasm at Harvard iuss
now, and the only topic of conversation
is the Yale game at Springfield to.
morrow. That the feeling is high was
evidenced by the enthusiasm shown at
the last practice game of the season.
Every man was loudly cheered and every
individual play was applauded. Lake
and Fearing played a magnificent half
qack, and Lane played so brilliantly that
he received a regular ovation. He never
failed to make his 10 or 10 yards, and
often with two or three men clinging to
him. Cumnock played in his old form at
end and both he and Hallowell tackled to
perfection.
This afternoon at o'clock the Harvard
eleven and substitutes leave Boston for
Springfield in private car attached to
the regular express. 1t was the idea at
first to pass through Springfield and stay
over night at Hartford, thus surely avoid
ing the excitement and notice which
permeate Springfield on the eve of the
game. But this plan has been rejected,
and the eleven will pass the night at
Springfield in a private house, Yin re-
tired part of the town. Tomorrow fore
noon they will take a short walk around
the town, and after lunch proceed di-
rectly to the grounds, where they will

PROBABLE MURDER.
Edward Brennan Found With His
Skull Fractured.

Edward Brennan Found With HIS
Skull Fractured.
Edward Brennan, aged IS years, liv-
ing on Brennan Place, off Pleasant
street, is lying at the point of death, the
result of a fractured skull received in
some mysterious manner last night.
Mr. Brennan was left at his doorsteps
by two unknown men at l o'clock this
morning. The family were aroused by the
noise and heard two men talking outside.
When they opened the door the men
had disappeared and Mr. Brennan was
found lying on the doorstep. He was
removed into the house, when it was
discovered that he was UNCONSCIOUS and
suffering from a wound in thehead. He
was bleeding profusely and medical aid
was summoned. DIR Axtelle found that
the man was suffering from fractured
skull.
1t was learned that Brennan called on
DIR O'Hara, to whom he is related, last
evening, and took supper at the doctors
house. He remained there until about
10 o'clock, when he stated for home.
| That is the last that was seen of him
until he was found on the doorstep, and
up to press hour no clue could be OBJ
tanned about his whereabouts from the
time he left DR. O'Hara's office.
Mr. Brennan was not drinking man.
The case is shrowded in mystery, and
the police are investigating.
DIR Axtelle told reporter this after
noon that the man could not live.

Van DETER May Escape.

HARTFORD, Nov 21.-Clemens Van
Deter, the German who was arrested
here Tuesday and is now awaiting his
examination, Monday, on warrant is
sued by the Westfeld police court charg-
ing him with Auxiliary is likely to escape
justice owing to the fact that the chief
witness against him, Katie Cronin, has
gone to Ireland. Eight years ago Van
Deter married Holyoke woman and
four years ago he met Katie Cronin a
comely Irish girl who had not been
in the country but little over year,
and under promise of marriage he be-
trayed her. A short time ago the Hol-
yoke woman learned of the second wife
i'm Westfield and between the two of
them warrant was issued. Van
Deter, hearing OF this proceeding,
skipped town and was not heard of un-
til he was arrested in this city. The
Cronin woman thinking that he would
never be caught sailed for Ireland the
day before he was captured in Hartford.
Without the testimony of the Cronin
woman it is not likely that the man can
be convicted.
