spection of county accounts that
there is at present throughout the
State.
County Treasurer Burrell notified
the State bank examiner of the wind
fall and asked what disposition to
make of the money. Mr.. .BurreH
was advised to place it with the
taxes and penalty fund, but it is
thought that the proper place to put
it would be in the general revenue
fund. The county treasurer has
written the bank for a history Of the
unclaimed balance il possible and
may get some light on how it came
to be left there these many years.
Anybody would naturally suppose
that the bank would have notified
the county of the balance to its
credit butprobably the bank thought
that if the county couldn't keep
track of its money it might just as
we'll remain in the bank.

QUEER DECISION.
Supreme Court Decision Excites National
Comment.

The Minnesota Supreme Court re-
Gently handed down a decision that
has excited national comment.
The case is suit instigated by
Isadora Colahan to secure a divorce
from her husband, Thos E. Colo
han. The Colohans conducted the
Ryan Hotel at Fairfax a few years
ago. The case was first tried in
the district court of Waseca county.
The district court denied Mrs. Col
ahan a decree and she appealed to
the Supreme Court. The decision
of the Supreme Conrt isin substance
as follows:
THAT on only one occasion had
defendant assaulted the plaintiff un-
der the belief, based upon circum-
stances justifying it, that plaintiff
had been unfaithful to him.
This decision has brought down q
storm of criticism from leading SO
cial reform women and from Su
preme court judges all over the
country. Mrs. Percy Wlddrington
leading English reformer, now il
Chicago, said of the decision: Real
lily such an action is extraordinary

OLD COUNTY BALANCE.
A County Treasurer Gets an Old County
Balance From a Bank.
Princeton Union.

Princeton Union.
About ten days ago County Treas
urer Burrell received letter from
Lyman G. Baird, United States
National Bank examiner at Austin,
Mimi, stating that the books OF the
First National Bank of St. Paul
showed IAN old and unclaimed bal
ance" of $585.O5 to the credit of
Mile Laos county. The bank ex-
aminer said he merely volunteered
the information for what it was
worth. On receipt of this startling
announcement the county treasurer
was very much surprised and
thought at first blush that he was
picked out as the victim OF some
film fam game, but he learned that
the informant was a bona hde en-
ploye of the federal government.
Mr.. Burrell at once made a draft
against the bank for the amount and
the draft was Immediately honored
and a check was received for the
amount. The bank officials we're no
doubt glad to learn that Mile Lace
county was still doing business at
the old stand and presumed that the
county treasurer would consider
the balance nice Christmas pres
ent for the tax payers of the county.
It is not known just how long
this amount has been in the St.
Paul bank, but the balance has been
three for probably 20years or more,
as near as can be figured. Many
years ago before r. M. Nicely was
county treasurer the First National
Bank was used as a depository for
county funds, and the balance was
probably overlooked during the time
of Co. Treasurer Staples, who was a
defaulter, or it may have escaped
/ the notice of the county S watchful
eve at the time when Martin Y. B.
/ Cater died in office. Years ago the
county funds were in very mixeo
up and bad way for time and there
was not the rigid check and in.

SLAUGHTER OF DEER.
Between Thirty and Forty Thousand
Killed in Three States.

From he single small station of
Fifield. on the Wisconsin Central
railway. during the last twenty
days Of November 1856 deer were
shipped out by the hunters. Fifeld
is only one Of 20 deer-shipping
points on that road and the road it
self only one of four or FIVE piercing
the deer territory.
From Philips. which is larger
town a few miles below, many more
were sent out and at Prentice, which
is a junction of the two roads, the
number sent ran wav into the hun
dreds.
It is impossible to obtain trust
worthy statistics as 10 the number
of deer slain ia Wisconsin during
the season. Those shipped through
the express companies are the only
ones accounted for.
Hundreds were killed and eaten
by hunters in camp, hundreds were
killed and divided among farmers
and the families OF guides, and nun
dreds were killed and left to lie
where they were, or were buried.
The law permits the killing of only
two deer by each licensed hunter,
and there were many men who slew
double and triple this number.
While great majority of the
deer slain we're buck, good many
does found their way to death. Of
ten man shooting hurriedly in the
woods cannot tell whether his tar
get is buck or doe and a good many
men do not care.
1t is roughly estimated that in
Wisconsin alone not less than 5000
deer we're shipped and this would
mean that at least ID. 900 were killed
as in many instances the resident
hunters did not ship at all. While
the slaughter of the animals was not
so heavy in Minnesota or Michigan
it was great and it would be within
bounds to say that within the three
States within IS, 900 and 10000 deer
were slain in November.
In Wisconsin there is movement
to change the time for shooting deer.
The open season now runs from
Nov. 10 to Nov. 80 Hunters would
like it to run from Oct 20 to Nov
10, or whereabouts. Their reason is
that, while the woods are thicker in
October and the deer harder to find
and kill, the animals are in better
condition and make much better
venison, of all which is true. BY
moving the open season back u
days fewer deer would be killed and
they would be better deer.

Omaha, May 1S.-MrS. Patterson anC
her son have been staying at the Crane
In Council Bluffs for about three weeks
At S:15 Saturday night she paid hel
bill, and calling carriage, was driven
10 the depot, intending to take the
Train. During the time she was staying
1t Council Bluffs Mrs. Patterson has

Omaha, the pair going together quite
publicly to a fashionable restaurant
TO take luncheon. This intimacy has
been much remarked, as both parties
to it are so well known in Omaha.
Mrs. Patterson first broke into public
notice in Omaha about two years ago,
when she came here from Richmond,
Va, to answer a suit for divorce
brought by her husband, who charged
her with infidelity and named travel
ing salesman as correspondent. She
filed cross-bill and set up charges of
extreme cruelty, alleging among other
things that his father, who is a mil
lionaire tobacco manufacturer, had
bribed his son to bring the suit for
divorce. Mrs. Patterson, who is pre-
possessing blonde, with fine carriage
and good address, and who admits that
she was once on the stage, succeeded
in obtaining the entree TO circle of
Omaha not the most exclusive but
certainly not the most open. She could
sing, and did sing in some of the
fashionable churches, and succeeded
in working up quite a following of ad-
mirers locally. When after many legal
maneuvers her case was finally settled
and she was granted a divorce togeth-
er with the custody of the child and a
certain sum of money for alimony, she
dropped from the social circle in which
she had been shining with a more or
less uncertain light and left the city.
She has been here off and on since then,
but has not been prominent in any
degree

Who ever thinks of connecting such

ANOTHER MULcr LAW ATTACK

Suit in Des Moines Questions Constitu
tionality of Lien for Fine Against
Property
Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, May 49, The con-
lstitutionality of the mulct law has been
attacked in the Polk county district
court.
l. NJ Earle, attorney for Elbridge Nc
Farland, has raised the question in an
amendment to the petition filed by his
client asking for remission of mulct
taxes and for refund from the county
treasurer Mcfarland owned property
against which the mulct tax was as
sessed because of the alleged sale there
on by tenant of liquors, without the
knowledge, consent or authority of the
owner.
1t is set up that the law in invalid and
unconstitutional because it makes a
| lien against property, irrespective of the
| interest or knowledge or authorization
by the owner of it. This is alleged
to be contrary to the spirit and letter
of section Of the bill of rights of
the constitution of the state of Iowa and
to the fifth and fourteenth amend
ments to the constitution of the federal
government
1t subjects the property of another, i.
is further claimed. to a license when
the owner in no wise contributes to the
conditions which make the license pos
Sible. 1t deprives an owner of his prop
erty on account of the acts Of another
1t takes property without due pro-
cess of law. 1t violates the guarantee
of right of trial by jury and the pro-
ceeding is without notice to the prop
erty owner of the purpose of the state
to take his property without due pro-
cess of law. The proceeding is al
legged to be opposed to the regular
and orderly administration of justice
and according to unknown rules of law
1t imposes the burden of proof upon the
property owner to disprove the allega-
tons of the state.
Section of the bill of rights of the
constitution of Iowa preserves the right
of trial inviolate
Articles five and fourteen of the
to the federal constitution
provide that no state shall pass laws |
to deprive persons. and no persons shall
be deprived of property without due
process of law.
Mr.. Mcfarland seeks to recover mulct |
taxes already paid in and to have can
celed mulct taxes already assessed |
against property.
1t is not understood that the con-
tention runs to any feature of the mulct /
law except that relating to the taxing |
or the mulct against the property.

Patterson, the divorced wife OF the
son of the millionaire tobacco manu-
facturer of Richmond, Va, Mrs. Cronl,
came to blows with Mrs. Patterson a,

presence of a large crowd. The en-

while going on.
Mrs. Cronk is said to have been jeal-
BUS of her husbands alleged attentions
to Mrs. Patterson for several months.
Saturday night Cronk started for Vir-
Einia to accept a home for the order of
Elks. Mrs. Cronk accompanied him to
the depot from their home in Omaha,
and then insisted on going as far as this
city, just across the river.

western station in Council Bluffs, Mrs.

started to enter the train just as Mrs.
Cronk left the Pullman. Without vast
ing words, bystanders say, Mrs. Cronk
attacked her supposed rival, and landed
Mt least one good blow on the latter's
eye, at the same time accusing her of
trying to steal her husband from her.
The war of words and fists lasted only a
moment, when friends INTERVIEWED.
Meantime the train pulled out, leav-
Ing the combatants and Mr.. Cronk sur
rounded by the crowd on the platform.
Mrs. Cronk was overcome and almost
collapsed when the excitement passed.
She was placed in carriage by her
husband and sent to a local hotel, and
Afterward to her home in Omaha.
Mrs. Patterson and Mr.. Cronk dis
appeared in different directions. Mr..
Eronk's friends say he left Omaha for
Chicago Sunday morning, while Mrs
Patterson took an Illinois Central train

Birdlike Reptiles.

The most birdlike reptiles in the
world are the beautiful iguanas OF
tropical America. The smallest mem
bers of this family, belonging to the
genus anolis, swarm in the bushes and
trees of the West Indies and in many
points resemble humning birds. Gosse

On bright day hundreds of these
brilliantly colored creatures may be
seen on trees and fences, entertaining
visitors by their gumbols. leaping from
branch to branch. fcarlessly entering
houses and even alighting on indiyidu-
als. When irritated. they will sudden
ly change their brilliant coiors for u
dull, sooty brown.
Analogous to these, but not nearly so
graceful, are the flying lizards of the

to support parachute-like expansion.
