GRAND JURY FINISHES LABoRS
of Indictments Returned only That
Against ROderick In Made
Pablo.

The district court grand jury concluded
its deliberations yesterday afternoon and ad-
journed for the term, after reporting a
batch OF indictments, only one OF which
was made public, the defendants in the
others not being in custody.
The indictment made public was that
against Otto Roderiek, charged with the
death Of Railway Mail Clerk Meyer. The
Indictment charged him with the crime Of
manslaughter. the extreme penalty for
which is eight years in the penitentiary.
Roderlek's bail was placed at $4,000. I'VE
times greater than 1t had been hxed by
Justice Bryant before the preliminary hear
ing had been held. Roderiek was recently
surrendered TO the sherin by his bondsmen
after he had been arrested for getting
drunk and disturbing the peace. Meyer
was assaulted In front OF the Creston house
saloon on South Main street on the night OF
June 2s and died early the next morning
from his injuries, without regaining con-
seriousness.
The grand jury declined to reindict Emil
Schultz, former secretary Of the Council
Bluffs aerie Of Eagles, charged with en-
bezzlement. The former indictment had
been declared defective by the court and
sent back TO the grand Jury to be RENE

KILLED BY LIVE ELECTRIC WIRE
Lineman at Perry Meets with Acct
dent while Testing Cir
cult.

PERRY, Ia, Sept. 11.-(special Telegram.)
George Roland was instantly killed this
morning by grasping a live wire while in
specting the electric light wires in Deig-
mans grocery. In some manner the arc
light in Deignan's store had become short
circuited and Roland, who had been line
man and inspector for three years, was
trying to locate the trouble. He had fas-
tened a wire to a water pipe in the store
and mounted q step ladder, with his test
ing wire in one hand. It is not known
whether the ladder fell or he lost hts bal
ance. IN trying 10 save himself fFoIa fall
ing be threw his arm over a live wire.
The entire current passing through his
body killed him instantly. Roland was IS
years old and lived with his mother, his
father having died six months ago. An in
quest will be held over the remains to-
morrow. This particular light had been de-
fective in some way and It is said was
known TO be dangerous. The current was
supposed to have been turned of before
he began work, hence a question Of liability
for his death.

POOR MAN NOW MILLIONAIRE
Citizen of webster City, lows, Heir
TO Famous Estate of Many
Millions.

WEBSTER CITY, Ia. Sept. 11.-(Special.)
MIR. and Mrs. S. II. Mar Of this city left
last night for Troy. N. Y, to claim an in
terest in an estate valued at $3.50, 900, 900.
The estate In question consists OF 266 acres
Of and within the city OF New York.
The interest which the Mans have In this
immense fortune Is an eleventh share,
which is due to Mrs. Man through the
death OF an aunt. The estate comes to
the Man family through Mrs. Mans great
grandfather. This great grandfather. Van
Schuyler by name, was a Dutchman direct
from New Netherland stock. He came into
possession of the estate by inheritance
through three generations. The LAM came
into original possession Of the Van Schuy-
lers through the Dutch PATRON" system
Of colonization.
After this manner did the ancient Van
Schuyler come into possession of a por-
ton Of these vast estates. In 1852 he leased
the land for a period Of ninety-nine years.
New York was then but a good sized viii
lsge and the land lay far from its out
skirts. The country town grew until now
this then almost valueless land has be-
come worth millions upon millions. The
lease expired in 1861 and the original heirs
are now seeking a settlement through the
courts. The settlement has dragged along
over forty-one years on account of the in
ability to locate many Of the heirs through
subsequent generations. The matter, how
ever, is now in the final stages OF settle
ment and Mr.. Man, who, while a resident
Of Webster City shoveled clay at the brick
and tile factory, will become q millionaire,

assessed him, and returned to his work

The testimony for the state in the Lewis
case was finished this afternoon. Most Of
the testimony related to conversations al
legged to have been had by the defendant
with others after the murder Of the Peter
son children. The state succeeded in show
ing that Lewis statements to different per-
sons we're conflicting in the extreme and that
but little dependence could be placed on
what he had said about II. That he was not
far away when the murder was committed
was made plain. though his direct connec-
ton with II was hardly established. At the
conclusion OF the states testimony the de-
tense moved to dismiss. claiming no case
had been made out against Lewis. but the
court overruled the motion and Lewis went
on the stand In his own defense and told
Of his whereabouts at the time Of the Peter
son murder. AT the conclusion Of his tes-
timOny the justice discharged him. declaring
