IOWA STATE NEWS.
SILENTLY SLIPPED AWAY.
Posveshiek County Farmer Dispose
of All His Property. Took His Child
and Deserted Hin Wife.

1t is alleged That w. b. Miller, q
Poweshiell farmer, has deserted his
wife, to whom he has been married
but few months, and resorted to
a cunning scheme to defraud her of
any legal rights to his possessions.
The report seems to be well founded,
as the man has taken his six-year-
old boy and departed, leaving no
word behind. Or. Miller is brawny
Scotchman, Industrious and honora-
bic in business heretofore. He had
acquired a small farm and other
property by hard toll, and was liv-
ing in a comfortable way when he
lost his wife by death, leaving to his
care boy of five years. He soon de-
cided he needed helpmeet and
marriage was contracted with a re-
spectacle widow, which seemed of
purely business motives. For some
cause he decided it bad bargain and
began to plan way out of the dilem-
ma. He sold his farm, held public
sale of personal property and seem
ingly made preparations to move to
Colfax, where he bargained for prop
erty, the unsuspecting wife assisting
him in these arrangements, expect
ing the new home decided to her. A
few days ago he took his child, say
ing he would go to town, but would
soon return. but instead took the
east-bound train and no word has
been received from him. His wife
upon making inquiry found he had
drawn all his money, some $4,000 or
$1,000, from the bank. leaving only
500 to her order, and had been heard
remark he was going back to his ma
tive land. There seems to be no re-
course of law for her to recover her
liege lord or his money, and she con-
Guided to return to her former home,
a wiser if not a richer woman.

DEFECTIVE INDICTMENTS.
Sensation Sprung In District Court
in Ottumwa by Discovery of Ille-
Gally Drawn Grand Jury,


A sensation was sprung in the dis
trict court in Ottumwa when it was dis
covered that the last grand jury, which
returned over rs indictments, and upon
which two men have pleaded guilty
and have been sentenced to terms in
the penitentiary, was illegally drawn,
and that the indictments are worth
less. The flaw was discovered by ex-
Senator j. J. Smith, attorney for an al
legged saloon keeper who had been in
dicted for violations of the mulct law.
AS soon as this was discovered, attor-
neys for about 20 other alleged saloon
keepers and alleged gamblers who had
been indicted at the same time, filed
motions to quash the indictments, and
when the matter was brought before
Judge Roberts he sustained the mo-
tons and ordered all defendants dis
missed. The error was caused by a
petit juror being drawn and his name
placed by mistake in the box for grand
jurors, and he served as such. The
county attorney claims that the two
sariIy be affected by tue u1scUvgry Or
the error, as they both pleaded guilty,
and, therefore, have no legal right to
ask for another trial.

THE REVENUE LAW.
Interpretation with Reference to As
sessment and Taxation of National
Bank Stock Agreed Upon.

Attorney General Mullan and An
ditor of State Merriam have agreed
upon an Interpretation Of the revenue
law of the state with reference to
assessment and taxation of national
bank stock, which will relieve the
owners of the stock from taxa ton
upon so much of it as can be offset
by evidences of debt owed by the
owner. Assessors and county au-
ditors have been listing national bank
stock as corporation stock. Dedue.
tions cannot be made for debt as
against personal property assess
ments. Auditor Merriam and Attor-
ney General Mullan have decided
that national bank stock should be
listed as moneys and credits and not
as corporation stock. When this is
done debts may be offset against 1t.
Auditor Merriam is making circ,t-
lar letter covering this point to be
sent to all assessors.

of getting the material ready was so
