MURDERED AND PLACED ON RAILS.
Trains Ran Over His Body All Night
Long-Memorandum Book Says He
Is William Gilmore, of ottumwa-
Has Relatives Here.

Jeffersonville, Ind, Dec. 29.-All
night long trains on the Baltimore &
Ohio and Big Four railroads ran over
the body of a man near Otisco, TWEEN
ty miles east of this city grinding the
flesh into bits. A small memorandum
book containing the name and address
of William Gilmore, of Ottumwa, was
1ound on his person. The man was
murdered and placed on the track
presumably, by his companions.
William Gilmore, spoken of in the
above dispatch, left Ottumwa two
years ago, and he has worked at differ
ent places turnout the country at his
trade, that of a stone cutter. He was
thru Ottumwa seven weeks ago, and
he made visit with his relatives here
leaving later for some point in the
east. His folks had not heard from
him for some time and his location
was not known until today.
His mother, Mrs. Mary Gilmore,
lives infEast Ottumwa. The brothers
and sisters who survive him are Mrs.
John Whalen, Mrs. Patrick Madden,
Mrs. Kate Costello and Eddie Gilmore,
all of this city.

Two Boys Try Bear Trap With Effect
on the Saint.
New York, Dec. 27.--Harry and Will
liam Johnson, of Union, N. Y, attempt
ed to hold up Santa Claus, and the ex-
pertinent will perhaps cost Harry De-
Kalb, their cousin, leg. The boys
had been informed that Santa Claus
would visit them on Christmas eve
with bag of good things, while max
ing his rounds. They thought If they
could capture him they would possess
an unlimited supply of toys, and, TAX
ing several comrades into their conf
dence, planned q surprise of their
own. From the barn they brought
out long-forgotten bear trap, and
succeeded in setting it beneath a win
dow, where it was alleged Santa would
appear. The boys waited inside while
their companions hid in the shrub.
berry.
The assembled guests were waiting
the appearance of Santa Claus, when
they were startled by 'frightful yell,
and, rushing outside, found him in a
bear trap. The machine proved as
faithful as in former days, and held
the struggling man firmly by the leg.
DeKalb was quickly released, but the
trap has broken the bone above the
ankle, forcing it thru the flesh, and it
is thought the leg will have to be am.
putated.

TO TEST AMENDMENT
Washington County Attorney
Elect Will Sue.
A PLAN TO TEST THE TITUS MATTER
Petition Now Being Prepared by At
torney General Remley, Who Will
Submit it in Advance to the oppos-
ing Party-Heard in January.

Iowa City, Dec. 28.-The result of
the conference between Senator I'll
tus, Attorney General-elect Mullan and
Attorney General Remley to secure an
early decision of the supreme court
on tn Titus amendment muddle is now
made public The plan is practically
the same as that announced after the
conference in this city.
The cause of action does not accrue
until January Z, at which time the
newly elected officers would take their
offices if it were not for the uncertain
ty as to the effect of the amendment.
On January 8, H. w. Bailey, county
attorney-elect of Washington county,
will bring an action in quo warranto
against S. w. Brookhart, the present
county attorney of the same county
to compel him to give up the Office
which he refuses to- vacate.
Brookhart, for the purpose of this
action takes the position that the
amendment extends his term of Office.
The newly elected county attorney
will set out in his petition, which is
being prepared by Attorney General
Remley, all of the facts including a
SopJ VI IilC oChoIO GAu Aouo0 JOuIAdlo.
He will allege that the Titus amend
ment was never legally adopted be-
cause of the failure to spread it at
length upon the journal of the house.
He also alleges that if the amendment
were legally adopted true construc-
ton would not entitle the present en-
cumbent to hold over, it being his con-
tention that the intent rather than
strict construction should govern.
The petition will be submitted in
advance to the opposing party who
will waive a time and file a demurrer
upon the filing of the petition. The
demurrer will be on the ground that
the plaintiff is not entitled to the rem
edy demanded.
The case will be tried before Dis
trict Judge A. B. Dewey, of Wash
inton. Briefs on both sides, as we'll
as the petition and demurrer, viii be
submitted to him in advance, and he
will have his decision ready to file
Immediately after the papers are filed
January s. In the meantime, an
agreed abstract of the record will be
prepared and as soon as the decision
is announced, an appeal will be taken
no matter which way the judge de-
cides, and the abstract printed. Cop
les will be submitted to several of the
prominent lawyers of the state and
they will be asked to furnish briefs
in accordance with their convictions.
Senator Berry, of Indianola, will prob
ably furnish a brief as will also Judge

SWEEPING DECISION.
Judge MCPHERSON Decides a New
Point in Federal Law.
RELATES TO VIOLATION MAIL LAWS
Merchants Who Represent Their FL
nanciaI Condition Other Than
What It Is and Convey the Informa-
ton Thru the Mails Are Liable.

Keokuk, Dec. 2S.-Judge McPher-
son made sweeping decision and
established new point in federal law
when he decided the case of the
Bankers Casualty Co. VS.. M. A. Wool
bridge on a demurrer filed by the lat
ter to the formers charge of using
the mails of the United States for
fraudulent purposes.
The case grew out of the alleged
robbery of the Woodbridge private
bank, and the claim of the banker for
payment of $4,000 from the Bankers
Casualty company in which the bank
was insured against robbery The in
surance company claimed that Wool
bridge had no capital save three notes
of $1,000 each payable in three years
when he started the bank and secured
under representations of big capital
the policy in the Bankers Casualty
company, and that the same was OBJ
tanned by mail correspondence, and
therefore it should come under the
laws governing the mails as a fraud.
Woodbridge entered a demurrer to
the charge, alleging that the deal was
contract between two parties, pri-
vate in it's nature, and that the mails
had no concern in the deal. Judge
Mcpherson overruled the demurrer.
The decision is one of vital import
ance to the commercial interests of
the country. 1t is common occur
renee that an alleged merchant will
correspond with wholesale house,
representing his financial condition to
be beyond question and obtain mer-
chandise to considerable amount.
He will then go out to some inland
town and dispose of the goods, go
broke or leave the country, thereby
defrauding the wholesale house. Pun.
ishment of such offenders has never
been more than provided for obtain
ing money under false pretenses. By
the decision Of Judge Mcpherson, the
offender is subject both to the state
court for false, representation and to
the federal court for obtaining mon
ey under false pretenses.
