CLAIMS BOARD BILL.
Thomas S. Miller Says Elizabeth Hale
Owed Him Money.

The claim of Thomas S. Miller
against the estate of the late Eliza
beth Hale, which is occupying the at
tention of the Wapello county district
court this afternoon, brings to mind
the will made by that eccentric char
'acter, which was read with interest by
the people of the county shortly after
her death. Miss Hale was an unmar-
ried woman and owned considerable
proerty in Wapello county She lived
on Il farm short distance north of
the city for several years, and in 1892
she rented the place to Thomas S. Mil
Ter, who lived there and farmed the
property until Miss Hale's death. Her
will made no provision for the payment
of board to Mr.. Miller, although vari-
Gus requests We're made for other pur-
poses, considerable amount being
left to trustees for the establishment
of Spiritualist church in Ottumwa
Mr.. Miller has filed claim against
the estate of Miss Hale for something
over $4,000 for board said to be due
him from the woman, for her mainten-
ance during the years he lived on her
farm. The case was called for trial
this morning and the greater part of
the morning session was taken up in
securing jury. The taking of evil
dence began this afternoon. Steck &
Smith represent Mr.. Miller and the
defense is looked after by E. Z. NOEL
roy and w. w. Rankin.

of Police John Gray, of this city, re-
ceived a photograph from the authori-
ties at Red Oak with request to iden-
tify the subject, If possible. Immedi.

was sent to the penitentiary for one
year from this city three years ago
for stealing trousers from the A. D.
Moss store with Sam Phillips. Sparks
was at one time night clerk at the
Baker House In this city. He is not a
bad-looking boy and being respectable
looking it was not hard for him to OBJ
tain money from friends of DR.. Brock
man. However. the game soon be

gan receiving letters from profession
al brothers asking for information, OF

son.
