Britt, Dec. AT the recent county
election held Nov. 3, 1t developed that
Mr.. Reihm, the democratic candidate
for sheriff, was elected over Mr.. H. H.
Ellsworth, the republican candidate. by
only eighteen votes. Mr.. Ellsworth's
friends have persuaded him to contest
the election, and careful recount is
now being made at the county seat.
The results will not be known for sew
eral days, but 1t is generally conceded
that Mr.. Ellsworth will defeat Mr..
Reihm. :.
The cause Of this belief Is that Il
bitter contest for local supervisor In
which the democratic candidate. Mr..
d. L. Richardson won by great odds
over Mr.. Charles Hewlett, caused near.
~ every ticket voted In this locality to
be scratched, and politicians claim that
this worked greatly against Mr.. Ellis

BIG INHERITANCE TAX.
State Will Get Large Sum From th
Jacob Funk Estate.


Jacob Funk Estate.
Special to Times Republican,.
Webster City, Dec 3.-The state OF
Iowa, will probably get from the es-
tate of the late Jacob NJ. flank. of this
city, the largest collateral Inheritance
tax ever paid in the state. The estate
is variousiy estimated at from half
million to more than million, and a
large portion of 1t is in the state.
II the estate reaches the figure OF a
million. the state treasury OF Iowa will
be richer by $4,000 after the expenses
of administration have been deducted.
The state collects tax of per cent
on estates that descend to collateral
heirs.
The papers of the estate. which are
in the Hamilton County State Bank,
will be carefully examined in the
search for will, which is barely pos
sible to exist. There Is much specu-
lation as to whom the court Will APP
point as executor of this large estate.
The administration OF this property
will require the entire time OF man
of much ability for some time. It Is
estimated that 1t will take six months
TO learn the extent of the estate.
