Imitted the deed and ne was tried and
convicted ~ murder In the second de-
gree. The ease was appealed and a re-
iversalk OF the opinion OF the lower court
secured. Upon securing his release
Jones was again indicted on the charge
OF granddaughter, again convicted and
again secured a reversal from the SUI
preme court. Again he was tried and
this time the verdict of guilty was set
aside by the presiding judge. The
fourth trial took place before Judge
sDeemer. at present OF the supreme
bench, and he was found guilty, but
was adjudged insane and has been liv-
ing since that under the care OF a
guardian. Sentence was not pro-
pounced. The life of Jones for nearly
twenty years has been ruined and his
friends will be glad to know that he
can now remain free during the re-
smainder of his life.
The case has been a particularly in
teresting one, in that many of the most
prominent men in the state have from
time to time had a hand in 1t, either as
prosecuting attorney or in defense Of
the unfortunate man.

Nevada. July 3-The bitter and ex-
asperating fight between the Duluth &
New Orleans Railway Company and
the trustees Of Nevada township was
brought to close yesterday afternoon
by the signing Of articles of agreement
by the contending parties and the issu-
ance Of the call for special election by
the township officers. All the compli-
cations Of the effair, Involving the
serving Of a writ OF certiorari on tho
trustees by the officials of the COM
.pany; an order from the court finding
that the trustees acted Illegally in their
canvass Of the petition asking for the
call of this election, and directing the
trustees to issue the call in accordance
with law; the refusal OF the trustees
to comply with Judge Whitaker's rul-
ing and their appeal to the supreme
court under bonds, arose out of the
desire OF the township trustees, j. w.
Hague. Fl. z. Lowry and S. p. Alder
man, all prominent and prosperous
farmers, to prevent the voting of a 8
percent tax in Nevada township to aid
in the construction Of the road, despite
the fact that the people OF the commu-
nifty generally wished to do all in their
power to obtain second railroad.
which Nevada is and has been for some
time in sore need Of.
1t is understood, however, that some
of the staunchest supporters of the
trustees have lately changed their atti-
tude toward the road, leaving them to
shoulder the responsibility alone. and
this fact, in connection with notices to
each Of the trustees from II. NJ. Fun
son, attorney for the road that big
damage suits would be brought against
them, induced the trustees to seek a
settlement OF the difficulty. At least
this is the accepted explanation of the
matter. Accordingly. the p. & n. Q.
Company agreed to withdraw all suits
pending against the trustees. and not
to bring action for damage. while the
trustees bound themselves to drop their
appeal to the supreme court and call
the election. This agreement was car
ried out by both parties, the costs OF
the litigation to date being paid by a
private party who is said to have been
instrumental in bringing about the set
Element, and who is q friend to the
road.
The call for special election was
sent out by the trustees late yesterday
afternoon, and provides for the voting

Des Moines, July s-The fate OF
James Fitzgerald is a problem which
the police and his parents would like to
have solved. The young man went,
with a younger brother on the steamer
Lehman, on the last trip up the river,
Sunday evening. When the steamer
returned to the wharf at the foot OF
Second street lie could not be found
among the passengers. tho his brother
stood at the gangway and scrutinized
every man who came of the boat. His
brother had become uneasy before the
arrival of the Lehman at its landing. as
he was unable to discover James
aboard. Some one claimed to have seen
him on board after passing the Sixth
avenue bridge. If this was true, 1t was
certain he had fallen from the deck,
somewhere between that point and the
dam, and perhaps been drowned. His
father and brother, accompanied by
several friends, examined the banks of
the river as far up as Beaver creek,
but they found no trace OF him. The
indications that he had been drowned
We're so strong that Chief Matthias, OF
the police department. directed the offs
GERS at the, bath house to drag the riv-
er. This was done. and the entire after
noon vas spent in drawing the drag
hooks along the stream from the bridge
to Tho1npson's bend, but the body, If
in the river, was not found. AS he
would have certainly gone home If left
on the shore at Beaver creek, and not
kept the family in suspense. it is be-
lieved he fell overheard on the return
Of the boat down the river, unobserved,
and drowned. The family resides at
HOS Center street, and is painfully anx-
ious over the uncertain fate Of James,
who was 80 years of age.
