ment the proposition was made practi-
cally to the soft coal miners of the
country.
The offer has not been accepted, for
the miners are holding to a fiat differ

coal and are demanding that the price
OF machine mined coal be advanced the
same number of cents as the operators
offer on pick mined coal. There IS d
chance that suggestion made by vice
President Z. l.. Lewis. of the miners,
that he would favor referring the ques-
ton of difTerentials Ger all four states TO
arbitration will be taken up. The litl-
nois operators, who are already on Il
lower differential than those OF other
states, WILL it is thought, favor such q
proposition.

| Washington, Feb. 6.The attorney
generals opinion in the Augustine
case. that extradition between the
| United States and the Philippines does
not exist in the present state OF the
law is receiving fresh application.
A recent fugitive from justice in the
philippines is speeding across the con
ltinent bound for Manila, closely guard
/ ed by detectives. because there is no
way for the government to take him
! Openly, without the risk OF his suing
out a writ of habeas corpus, and es-
! Gaping from his captors.
| The man is William A. Wilson, late
| disbursing officer of the bureau of
coast guard and transportation at Man
| lila, who is charged With the embeZzle
| ment of $4,000 and whose sudden dis
appearance from his post of duty and
I his subsequent wanderngs thru other
parts of the world. have led to the in
| ference that he fled to escape the con-
sequences of his crime.
He appears to have gone by a round
about route to Japan and thence to
Canada, where the detectives located
him at Montreal. No attempt seems
to have been made to extradite him
.. from Canada, but in some way he was
Induced to cross the border and was
taken into custody in this country and
brought to Washington where he was
lodged in the district Jail Tuesday
and started on his westward journey
in the middle of the night. At tho
department of justice it is stated that
ne came to the United States of his

GAVE THE MONEY BACK
Sensational Case Settled Out of Court
At Observation-Disclosures Did Not Dare
Hold on to Deceased Wife's Proper.
~ When the Lawyers Began to Press

II
Special to Times Republican.
Nevada, Feb. 6.-pes Moines LAWYERS
were in this city YESTERDAY to trv a casa
| Which mad 1t not been settled out Of
court would have proved one of the
most sensational ever tried In Story
county IT involved an estate of SIS
oo0 The case was the action brough,
by Mrs. f. Longneckrr TO break the will
OF the late Mrs. T. +. Slater, by which
the entire estate Cleft to her by her
| father. the late JohE Cook was turned
ever TO her husband six DAYS before
| the wife died unde. rather supicious
| circumstances. When it developed what
| the defense hoped or expected to prove
and the stories that would be lugged
into the case. compromise was at
feeted by the husband turning over to
the contestant all that was claimed.
The action brought by Mrs. Long
reclSer was to break The will of Matte
Cook. who married =. L. Slater in Sep
tesnber, 1901. and wish whom she lived
Until her death, from miscarriage, in
February of 1902.
Matte Cook was the daughter of
John Cook. one of the early settlers and
richest men of Story county. Mr.. Cook
by hard work and osfnstaking energy
had amassed a large fortune, which he
divided among three heirs when he died,
leaving a large portion of the estate
Consisting mainly of farm land in
Story county, to his young daughter,
Matte whose mother had been dead for
many years. Maths thus inherited
property valued at about $4,000 and
was considered q good catch" in the
matrimonial market, from a financial
view point to say nothing of her own
personal graces and qualifications.
To the great surprise of every person
Matte, aged IL, ran away with L. T..
Slater, 4O-year-o man, whose ante
cedents were shrouded in darkness and
doubt and married him in September,
1901. Slater had had a varied career,
being farmer, railroad man, river
roustabout and engaged in various 9th
er employments. On his marriage with
Matte Cook he took UP his home In
story county, he ana his young Wife
living at Maxwell. until she died in
February of the following year from
the results of n miscarriage. Six days
before she died she made will turn
ing ovsr all her inherited thousands to-
her husband.
The suit to break the will was
brought by the grandmother of the
young wife. Mrs. Longnecker, to whom
the other heirs and relatives assigned
