Paullina, July 16.-This community
was greatly shocked Saturday morning
upon learning Of the tragic death OF a
leading citizen, Mr.. Thomas Aiken
who was horribly mangled in moving
machine.
Mr.. Aitken resided about six miles.
north Of Paullina. and was one Of the.
wealthy farmers of this county. About
S o'clock Friuay evening Mr.. Aiken
was moving timothy in a large field
and had in his team young horse that
seemed to be very gentle and we'll
broken to drive. Under the circum-
stances 1t will never be known how
Mr.. Aitken got down in front Of the
sickle, or fell there, but the team ran
with him thus exposed to all the hor-
rors OF being mangled and cut by a
heavy moving machine. A lady resid-
ing near the field saw the team running
and called her husband, who went to
Mr.. Athens assistance, but he died all
most before he could be extricated from
the mower.
Mr. Aiken was born in Scotland
forty-one years ago. came to this coun-
try when he was quite young and by
attention to business acquired large
property in lands and fine stock. Mr..
5Aitken was a Christian gentleman In
the strictest meaning Of the term.
The funeral will occur from the Pres
byterian church OF Paullina, Of which
he was consistent member. He
leaves a wife and four children to
mourn his untimely death.

a BIG LAND CASE
Mitigation 1nvolving tho Title TO Big
Ranch Property Near sioux City
Cases In tho Courts Since 1880
Maximum Filing Fee Charged.

Sioux City, July 16.-Daniel H. Talbot
of this place has made application to
the United States supreme court for
writ of error in the cases Of Talbot vs.
the First National Bank OF Sioux City
and Talbot vs. the Sioux City National.
Bank of that place. The cases are his
toric ones, and involve the title to about
1000 acres OF land near Sioux City, and
property whose total value Is S150000.
Mr.. Talbot was in the city Saturday,
having come here from Washington,
where he has been in consultation with
prominent attorneys. His legal trou-
bles started in 1889. when the banks at
Sioux City foreclosed on his ranch, on
the Big Kettle creek. near Sioux City,
and took 1t. The banks had advanced
Talbot large sums Of money, secured
by mortgages on his property for sew
eral years. He claims they failed to
credit him for interest paid them, and.
THAT thru NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. they were
enabled to get possession Of his proper
lty. Both cases have been fought thru
1.-THE state supreme court. The case
against the Sioux City National Bank
was decided by the state supreme court
May %. 1900. and the other Oct Is, 1895.
Both decisions were for the defendants.
| The ases involve the same issues, and
I3if the supreme court grants the writ
llof error. It will be applicable to both.
4 The application was sent to Judge
Granger Saturday, and he will sign it
and fix the amount of the bond. Cita-i
ltions will then be prepared in the office
LOT the state supreme court. and all the
necessary papers forwarded to Wash-
I5ington.
The statutes fix $4,000 as the MAXI
mum fee to be charged by the secretary
of state for filing articles Of incorpora-
tion. It isnot often this sum is reached.
but Saturday 1t was. The Dubuque &
Sioux City railroad Of Dubuque filed
amended articles Of Incorporation, in-
creasing it's capital stock from $1000O,-
900 to s15,00O.0OO. The maximum filing
fee OF $4,000 was paid. The incorpora-
tors are e. T. Bishop NJ. K Jesup and
|others, these being the incorporators of
the Illinois Central, with which the
Dubuque & Sioux City company siden-
titled The reason for the increase is
found in the fact that the Illinois Gems
1 trail has recently leased the Fort Dodge
e Omaha line. The articles were pre-
]. pared andssent to the secretary Of state
by Capt. j. F. Merry Of Dubuque, who
had charge of the negotiations recently,
by which the Illinois Central obtained
control Of the Fort Dodge & Omaha
