The Iowa courts which granted the di-

SO BOND FILED IN EACH CASE
Court Appoints Don Barnes, of Cedar
Rapids, Administrator of Estates of
Nine Victims of Terrible Milwaukee,
Wreck of Aug. e-Two of the Dead
Men Still Unknown.

The court appointed today an admin
istrator for the estates of nine victims
of the terrible Chicago, Milwaukee 4
st. Paul wreck of Aug. s, near Rhodes.
in which thirteen men lost their lives
and forty more We're badly injured.
Judge Caswell has named Don Barnes,
of Cedar Rapids, administrator, and MI.
Barnes has filed bond of $500 in each
case.
The papers show that two of the vic
tins are still unknown, and they are
listed under the assumed names always
used in legal documents where the COR
rect names are not avallable-Richard
Roe and John Doe. The others whose es-
tates are placed in the hands of Mi.
Barnes as administrator are John Rich
ardson, John Allen, Patrick Sullivan.
Ed Fitzgibbons, Michael Flynn, l..
Bingham and Thomas Sullivan.
The application of the administrator
shows that the petitioner is a resident
Of Linn county and that the above
named nine men died intestate on Aug.
6. 1902, and We're buried on the 9th;
they have no heirs, and that they leave
no property excepting a claim of uncer-
tain value against the Chicago, Mil
waukee & ST. Paul Railway Company.
as value for damages by reason of the
company negligentiy and carelessly
causing their deaths. The administrator
also claims that the decedents are
either residents of Marshall county OF
on-resdents of the state, and that the
property they owned was located III
Marshall county at the time of their
death.
The settlement Of the various estates
will not likely be a very easy matter,
as relatives of many of the dead men
have turned up at one place and an
other after the dispatches from thi;
city announced the accident. The T.-R.
has in it's possession a number of in
quiries from relatives Of the dead men.
