DEALING IN RAILWAY STOCK
change of Properties Bought
by SeliGmans.

Although ~oficials OF the omaha Street
Railway company decline to discuss the
matter, Information comes from reliable
sources that the purchase of the local rail-
way properties by j. g. w. Seligman
q Co. Of New York has reached the stage
where the transfer Of stock has actually
begun. IA was published In The Bee Tues
day, a local banker stated that his bank
alone handled over 500, 900 worth Of this
stock Monday and that other banks were
engaged In similar transactions. This was
regarded as conclusive OF the transfer Of
the stock, and since then further evidence
has been obtained to ~substantiate this.
A director OF the railway company was
asked yesterday for information on this sub
Ject, but declined to disclose what ofieials
Of the company would not.
do not these transactions at the banks
clearly indicate that the stock is actually
changing hands?" was asked.
Il should certainly think so,' was the
reply.
President Murphy was again approached
AZ to the status Of the deal and said;
Matters are in the same shape they were
three weeks ago. There is nothing new
and therefore nothing to be given TO the
press that would throw any new light upon
the reports already published. Some OF the
local banks may be in possession Of checks
Of this company; l do not know as to that.

Judge smythe Decides the Fam

Special to Times-Republican.

Special to Times
Burlington, Dec Judge Smythe
has made his decision in the famous
telephone case 1t will be of especial
interest to farmers all over the coun-
try.
He holds that private telephone line,
including poles, wires, ETC., are fixtures,
and therefore a part of the farm. The
case was that of the Wapello Telephone
Company VS.. the Louisa and Muscatine
County Mutual Telephone Company.
The contention of the plaintiff was
that they had constructed telephone
line from the residence of Mr. N. Il.
Let's on his large stock farm to the
town of Grand View, forming con-
nection with other lines, which plaint-
iff claimed constituted a telephone. sys-
tenn belonging to them as co-partners.
Mr.. Let's sold his, the private line. to
the Wappello Telephone Company, and
afterwards sold the farm to Brockaway
& Sons without making any reservation
on the telephone line to the Louisa
county Mutual Telephone Company. the
defendants herein. The plaintiff then
attempted to enjoin the defendants
from using the line, contending the ma
ture of the telephone system was suffi-
Gent notice to the purchaser OF the
farm that the line belonged to other
parties, which is analogous with the
rule of railroads and
telegraph companies across a farm.
Defendant insisted that the telephone
line was part OF the realty and a fix
ture of the farm, because of it's perna-
nent character. This contention was
adopted by the judge, who decided ac-
cordingly. The decision will have wide
effect. as the country turnout Iowa and
adjoining states is dotted with these
private telephone lines. and according
to Judge Smythe's decision they belong
as much to the farmer as do the fences
on his farms which connect with the
fences of other owners and form con-
tinuous line boundary.

Attorney General MuIIan Says State
Will Intervene in Water Works Case.
Special to Times-Re publican.
Des Moines, Dec. &c. w. Mullan,
attorney general of Iowa. stated that
while no action had been taken by the
executive council. the state of Iowa
would probably seek to intervene in
the Ottumwa water works case on its
appeal to the United States supreme
court.
In this case the United States court
of appeals in st. Louis held that con-
tract entered into by Ottumwa for the
erection of water works plant created
a debt in excess of the limit put upon
city debts by the Iowa costitution, al
tho the Iowa supreme court had pre-
viously held that such debt was not
created under the conditions OF the
contract.
Mr.. Mullan said he could not under
stand how the decision of the court OF
appeals could stand when the only
question involved was the interpreta-
ton of a section of the Iowa constitu-
ton.
In an interview at Dubuque today
United States District Judge Q. F..
Shiras said he considered the decision
of the court of appeals to be remarka-
BILE, altho he did not care to discuss it
until he had an opportunity to read the
full opinion.
A number of Iowa towns and cities
including Cedar Rapids and Ottumwa,
are interested in the case, and If the
federal courts ruling stands these
cities will be unable to carry out ex-
listing plans for the construction OF wa
ter works systems.

mitted the crime, have been able to
prove their innocence, as they tell
straightforward story concerning their
movements during the evening prior to
the finding of the body.
Three young men who were in the
neighborhood of bridge leading to the
part of town where the body of Gillian
was afterwards found say they saw two
Gillian, pass along in the direction of
the bridge shortly after il O'Clock.
Members of a family living within
block of the spot where the body was
found heard disturbance during the
night, but supposed it was drunken
row and made no effort to investigate.
Several Rock Rapids people declare
that Gillian had large sum of money
with him within a day or two before
the murder. The money was not found
on the body. One man who saw his
money a day or two before the tragedy
declares that he had fifteen or twenty
dollar bills in a long pocketbook and
that the bill on top was of the denomi-
nation of $40.
A knife which is supposed to have
been the property of the dead man, and
scent piece. were found near the
fence surrounding the Enclosure in
which Gilliam's body was discovered.
The knife was closed, and there were
no blood stains upon it. 1t would have
been impossible for Gillian to have
walked from the point where the knife
was found to the place in a shed where
his body was discovered in badly mu-
4;lo+a1 condition Tbaca no Gipps of
blood from the point where the knife
was found to the inclosure where the
body lay. In the head was a bullet
hole, which is generally believed to
have been made after Gillian was dead.
When the body was found there was
a revolver in one of his hands. -Four
witnesses swear that the revolver
looked as if it had been placed in his
hand. 1t was in the hand opposite from
the side of the head where the bullet
rad entered. The weapon appeared to
hang from the thumb, which was thru
the guard around the trigger About
two inches from the bullet wound is an
indention in the side of the head from
a quarter to a half inch Deep which
looks as if 1t might have been made
with the back of an ak. From this
wound there is a fracture of the skull
running in three directions, but none
of these are in any way connected with
the bullet wound. There were no pow
der marks whatever on the face or
head of the dead man, which would in
dicates that the shot was fired from
some distance.
The theory is that he was murdered
for his money, after which the body
was carried to the Enclosure, passed
over the fence, where the knife and
scent piece fell out of his pocket and
then again carried to the shed. which
was about twenty feet from the fence.
Members of a family living near the
scene of the murder are under suspi-
ci0u.
