Word has been received here Of the death
of L. c. Taylor, in the penitentiary at Fort
Madison, where he was sent up for three
year term in May, 1897, for the burglary Of
Miss Sprink's millinery store on South Main
street
His death closed a remarkable career of
crime, inasmuch as twentyfour of the last
thirty five years of his life were spent be-
hind the prison bars. None of his crimes
were of a sensational or heinous nature,
but proclivity for taking the goods of
other people kept him in the penitentiary
most of the time He was 48 years of age
at his death, although he looked considera-
bly, older, due to the fact that he spent
exactly half of his life in Jail.
His career as a criminal commenced when
he was but 13 years Of age. He was con-
victed of burglary and committed to Fort
Madison prison from the district court of
Wapello county. After a year he was re-
leased and enlisted in the army in 1864,
where he served for two years. He returned
to Wapello county and was soon back at
his thieving habits. In June, 1866, he was
again committed to the penitentiary for lar
ceny, this time for two years When re-
leased he was IS years of age. For eight
years he managed to keep out Of prison,
but in 1877 was committed from Woodbury.
county for term of two years, which he
served in full. In September, 1880, he was
sent back to the penitentiary from Wapello
county for term of four years for burglary
and in February, 1884, he was again dis
charged In January, 1885, he was again
sent up for short term for larceny. On his
release he left the state but got into trouble
in Kansas and spent seven years in prison
there. On his release he returned to Iowa
and made Council Bluffs and Omaha his
home. Although suspected of several rob-
berries, he managed to keep out of the peni-
tentiary until convicted Of the burglary Of
Miss Sprink's store in the beginning of 1897.
He was member of the Grand Army of the
Republic and drew pension.

Railroads Agree on Matters in which
Roth Are Interested,


The local attorneys for the Fort Dodge &
Omaha Railway company have received word
from President Duncombe that all the differ
ences existing between his road and the
Chicago & Northwestern Railway company
have been settled and that they have come
to an agreement upon all disputed points.
From a semi-of1icial source 1t is said that
the Northwestern gives the Fort Dodge &
Omaha road the right of way across it's
tracks south OF Broadway at grade. At
Loveland and near Woodbine the Fort Dodge
G. Omaha road is to cross the Northwestern
by means OF an overhead crossing, both
roads sharing the expense of main tanning
such crossings. At Denison the crossing
is to be at grade, but the Fort Dodge &
Omaha road is to construct an interlocking
switch which will permit trains on both
roads to cross at that point without coming
to a stop.
The dispute over the depot grounds at
Denison is settled by the Northwestern sur
rendering all claim to the block first pur
chased by the Fort Dodge & Omaha company
and then taken by the former road under
condemnation proceedings.
The amicabe settlement between the two
roads disposes of a number Of suits pend
ing in the supreme and district courts OF
the state and enables the Fort Dodge &
Omaha road to push its plans for the con-
structon OF its line without the tedious de-
lay that would have been the Inevitable out
come of the litigation.
The sheriff's jury appointed for the ap-
praisement of property in condemnation
proceedings brought by the Fort Dodge &
Omaha against land in the vicinity of Big
lake has been called to meet today. The
differences between the railway and Gilbert
Bros have been settled, but there are par
ties claiming interest and the proceedings
