The immediate cause or the murder was

FEinhoff home last evening. The quar-
relS have been frequent, however, for
more than q year, and the two families
have been at swords points since the

publican State League.

Chicago, Aug. 3l.-senator Jonathan
p. Dolliver. OF Iowa, Friday announced
the candidacy Of Governor Leslie NJ.
Shaw for the republican presidential
nomination in 1904. The announcement
explains the repeated refusal Of Gov
ernor Shaw to allow his name to be pre-
sented for denomination In the govern
.orship of Iowa.
1t will be remembered that at the end
of Governor McKinley's second term in
Ohio a compact, of which no secret was
made, was reached between Senator
Sherman, former Governor Foraker and
Governor Mckinley himself BY the
same terms Of that agreement Governor
Bushnell was named for governor, For
aker for senator and the party was
pledged to present McKinley's name to
the national convention.
It is announced here that like deal
all around has been concluded in Iowa.
The effects of such an understanding
ere becoming apparent. "A. B. Cummins
has been nominated for governor, Les
lie NJ. Shaw standing aside in the for
imer's favor.
Dolliver is assured of reelection next
winter to the United States senate and
probably w. B. Allison has an equal as
surance, and the force of the whole state
will be brought behind Shaw when he is
1904.
This is an announcement" said
Senator Dolliver at the Auditorium
is Mr.. Shaw the candidate of Iowa" the
senator continued, but he will be found
to be the candidate for the majority Of,
the middle west as well. He is Iowa's
favorite son. simple, truthful, able
man, business man, man of affairs.
plain citizen without frills; his heart
animated by a sincere love of humanity
and his manners democratic and direct
He has made one of the best governors
Iowa ever had; his grasp of administra-
tive business being remarkable and his
probity and honor being unimpeachable.
Nor is he merely Iowa s favorite son.
He is typical of the middle west. All the
adjacent states know him we'll. In Me-
hraska, Kansas, South Dakota and Min
nesota the people feel him to be one Of
themselves.
"They know him as well as IL he were
one of their own natives. He has spoken
to them effectively from the stump, and
his homely common sense, his direct
logic and quick retort, put him in touch
with the plain people in some such
fashion as Lincoln himself was. The
Reputation of his administration has
gone much farther than his state -
i Senator Dolliver also said:
Vice President Roosevelt is popular
man and has hosts of friends but do
not know whether he is launching any
| boom for 1904 at this time"

BILE Martin made another discovery,
however. He found that neither Gran
die nor Bowman had sold the cattle, but
that man named Joe Boise; who for
merly lived at Alburnette, and who had
used several aliases at Belle PLANE, had
hand In the deal. He also found, 1t is
claimed, that Boise received q visit from
Bowman at Belle Plafne and there di-
vided the swag with him.
Constable Martin visited Belle PLANE
again Thursday and with George L.
Haakinson. representative OF Trauer-
man & Co., and Mr.. began Of Becker &
began. drove to the Share farm and
looked over the cattle. Mr.. Share was
invited to give up the cattle, after being
advised as to the interest of the COM
mission firms in them, but this he re-
fused to do, saying that he would stand
law suit on the proposition. Mr.. Share
also stated, 1t is said, that he had mort
gagged the cattle after purchasing them,
but refused to give the name Of the
mortgagor. Messrs Haakinson and De-
gan drove to Marengo for the purpose OF
instituting replevin proceedings. having
wired to Sioux City for a bond. Mr..
Share also retained Tom Miner as his
attorney and prepared to resist the re-
plevin suit.
Mr.. Martin left for Alburnette for the
purpose of locating the cattle shipped
there, but was not hopeful that he
would succeed, having heard that a
shipment answering the description of
the steers he is after was made from AL
burnette to Chicago few days ago.
The commission firms wired the Dako-
ia authorities to arrest Granolle & Bow
man and hold them for further investi-
cation.
Mr.. began expressed himself as being
very grateful to Mr.. Martin for his time
~ tip as to the plans of the ranchmen,
who are said to have several other Linn
county parties interested with them
Mr.. Martin is confident that If the plot
had not been nipped in the bud every
one Of the 200 head Of cattle would have
been run out Of the country.
The representative OF the commission
firms who last visited Ipswich states
that Grandle and Bowman had been en-
joying themselves for several weeks al
the expense of the firms holding the
mortgages on the cattle. 1t is said that
on one occasion they loaded up fat
steer, hauled it to Ipswich and sold il
for enough to buy chips in a poker
