ASKS mrs. JACKSON'S ARREST
RELATIVE OF THE MURDERED MAN
WANTS HIS WIDOW HELD.
Prosecuting Attorney Lowe Has TAX.

A relative Of Fred ]. Jackson, who was
shot and killed by Or. ]. D.. Goddard at the
Woodland hotel several months ago. held
q conference with the prosecuting attorney
yesterday and urged him to file informa-
ton against Mrs. Jackson, the widow of
the murdered man, and whose relations
with Goddard are supposed 10 have caused
trouble between the two men. Mr.. Lowe
has taken the matter under AMUSEMENT and
will reach ONE conclusion to-day.

The theory of the state in the case will

had been conveyed to his wife, redeeded

be able to determine whether the crime
was of such a character as TO warrant
Goddard IN being admitted TO bail
Tn state, however, does not believe that

looks upon the whole proceeding as a clever

THEY MAY FIGHT 1T OUT.
Courts Do Not Decide Just Now who
Are the Legal Won Daun
Heirs,

Judge Guinotte of the probate court yes
terday settled the wrangles between the
heirs of the late Captain W.. S. Theodore
Van Daun, the wealthy Dane who died in
the city some years ago. He left his es-
tate to his daughter, and at her death to
a large number of heirs. chiefly his sisters
and their children. Among the heirs was
Countess Ahlefeldt Won Lauvrig. The heirs
wanted George CASTOR, the executor, TO
make a final settlement and distribution of
the estate. as the daughter had died. Colo
mel CASTOR was perfectly willing to do so,
but he did not know who the heirs were,
and he asked Judge Henry to find out for
him.
Judge Henry turned the whole matter
over to Judge Guinotte. The latter cut the
Gordon knot by ordering Colonel CASTOR to
deed the real estate in his possession to
the heirs of Captain Won Daun, not naming
them all by name, but making a general
designation. This will relieve Colonel
Gaston of all responsibility, and will leave
the heirs free to fight II out among them
selves. Colonel CASTOR is directed to make
final settlement at the August term of
court.

BIRTH OF "OLD GLORY"
Historical Event to BE Given Free
With Next Sundays journal.

Very few people are aware Of the origin
Of the flag of this nation, and fewer yet
have ever read a full descriptive narrative
on the subject. The story is a pretty one,
and 1t will appear in next Sundays Jour-
nal at length, together with a beautiful art
supplement reproduced from Hagstrom's
famous water color entitled Birth of the
American Flag" This supplement will be
in colors, and will certainly be worth saw
ing and framing.
The story in detail to form a feature of
next Sundays Journal will prove very en-
tertaining to patriotic citizens generally.
and will aid them in recognizing the truly
meritorious work of Artist John Hagstrom,
whose picture is the first step toward i'm
mortalizing the story of Betsy Ross.
