Plot to Get Insurance.

Ell Paso, Tex. Nov 20.-The New
York Life Insurance Company, sus-
pecting its chihuahua agent Of muir
der and swindling, employed a detec
and lead him and his confederate on
to the commission of another crime.
The agent is c. I. Richardson and
his supposed confederate is William
Mason. They are here in prison and
@. B. Patterson, their attorney, says
he will show that a high official of
the insurance company in Texas was
in partnership with the accused men.
Richardson and Mason came here
some days ago with a man named
Gray and all three were arrested on
complaint of the insurance company.
Richardson was agent for the COM
pany in chihuahua and early last year
he insured two men, one for S15, 600
in favor of Mrs. Richardson, his
wife, and the other for $40, 600, in ia
vor of Mason. Both men died sud
denly and the money for the policies
was collected by the benefciaries.
Last week Richardson and Mason
accompanied by Gray, came to this
city and applied for a so, 900 policy
on the life of Marshal Sanguine. 1t
was understood among them that
GRAY was tn nersonate Saucuiupt
Today Gray was discharged on a
telegram from an official of the insur-
ance company. He is the detective
employed by the corporation to work
himself into the confidence of Rich
ardson and Mason 1t was he who
persuaded them to come to Ell Paso on
the understanding that he should play
the part of the man to be insured.

umn will remember the agitation in
Saints Rest of the all important ques-
lie bowling alley or not. Finally after
long and mature deliberations on the
part of the council it was decided in
order to protect the morals of our
young men that public bowling alley
would be injurious. The council re-
fused a license to those who wished to
establish bowling alley here, but it
seems we are going to be
able to whip the devil around
about 100 members. the money has been
paid in and the building will be COM
menced today for a club house bowling
alley in the town of Grinnell. We run
things in Grinnell just a little different
from some other towns. A public bill
lard room is decided a bad institution,
but the club owning the tables and
renting the rooms is strictly in order.
Here is a firm point. The faculty of
iowa College have bowling alley, but
the students have none. Some OF the
citizens of Grinnell are allowed to play
at the faculty bowling alley, but the
line is strictly drawn on the students
and other citizens of Grinnell

first half Drake scored five points after
twelve minutes of play but could not
score again in that half. In the sec
ond half Drake again scored a touch
down and also kicked goal. The game
ended with the score 11-O in favor of
Drake. Grinnell put up one of the
pluckiest games she has ever played,
every inch of the way with the
heavy odds of weight combined with a
muddy field against them. The result
was better than expected for Grinnell,
and provided the field is in good shape

NOTICES ARE CONTRADICTORY.

Auditor and Secretary Of State Conflict
on Tax Proposition.
Boone, Oct. 6.-The question arose
early this week upon whose authority
should the board of supervisors of
Boone county act in making the tax
levies for the present year? The state
auditor or secretary of state? There
should have been no difference, but at
the time the question arose for some
unknown reason there was q difference
of one and one half mills, which would
mean over $1,0OO,000 turnout the state.
The tax levy was fixed at the Sep
TENDER session of the board, but accord
ing to notice received few days ago
from A. H.. Dawson, secretary of the
mistake. The notice was in printed
form and stated that the levy for the
general state revenue fund must be 5
mills, while the, order received from r..
+. Merriam, auditor of state, says the
levy for this purpose shall be S.5 mills.
Both notices We're dated Aug. @ but
the auditors notice reached here a
number of weeks later and was used by
the board in fixing the levy. the Iowa
law specifying the levy should be made
at the September session
Secretary Davidson's order was re-
cetved Friday morning and. with the
one exception, agreed with the first or
der.
County Auditor Burnside was in
clined to believe that Secretary David
sons order was wrong, as the 3.5 mill
levy will raise the desired sum, and
wrote at once to discover which of the
state officers had made the error. The
letter was sent out Friday evening, and
while awaiting reply a letter that had
been mailed ut Des Moines the same
time Auditor Burnside's was mailed
here. arrived. Strengthening out the
tangle, which was entirely due to a
typographical error: 3.5 mills is the
levy, and stands, but for atime 1t look
