Richardson Case Appealed.

The mysterious disappearance of frank
Richardson in Shelby county some years
ago forms thu basis of a case which has
Just got into the supreme court. Richard
son Yves an eccentric individual who disap-
peared suddenly and was undoubtedly MUIR
dered for his money. He had lived many
years in Shelby county, lending money and
getting rich, but refusing to do business ex-
cept personally. Inasmuch as the assessors
had a way Of finding out his credits and as
sensing the notes against him, he made out
his notes in the names c. eastern relatives
and then scattered his notes about among
neighboTs. When he disappeared the ad-
ministrator got track of his estate by max
ing personal inquiries among all his neigh
bors and turning up about SIS, 900 OF prop
erty, for much of which the estate had
nothing to show. A controversy arose over
land titles on this account and the case
comes now to the supreme court for deter
mination on a number of points.

taken from public buildings. This was lone
at the time of the strike against the local

Now the Iowa company has yielded to the
strikers and compromised matters in a way
entirely satisfactory to ell. The fire insur-
ance agents and business men demanded
that the telephones be replaced in the fire
stations CT the city, since 1t was shown
that the insurance companies had increased

WESTERN UNION WINS SUIT
Pennsylvania Railroad Company is
Restrained from interfering
with Line.

TRENTON, N. j., Jan. 14.-In the United
States circuit court, district of New Jersey,
a decision was filed today in favor Of the
Western Union Telegraph company restrain
ing the Pennsylvania railroad from inter
fering with the company's lines along the
road. The injunction is made permanent.
The decision, as handed down, recites the
following United States statute, enacted
July "a. 1866:
Any telegraph company now organized,
or which may hereafter be organized under
the laws of any state, shall have the right
TO construct, maintain and operate tele-
graph lines over and along any of the
which have or may hereafter be declared
such by law, but such lines of telegraph
shall be so constructed and maintained so
as not to interfere with the ordinary travel
on such military roads.
All railroads are declared by law to be
post roads. The decision continues.
While the question here at issue has not
had judicial Interpretation by the court of
last resort, the statute Of July "a, 1866. as
applicable to post roads, has several times
been before the courts for their construc-
ton. 1t has been held that because of
this law one company having exclusive
privileges under the state law cannot pro-
hibit the erection OF telegraph lines OF
another company on the pes' roads Of the
United States where sucL otner companies
have accepted the provisions of the act OF
July "a, 1866, when those In control of such
IOduS nave given lltlT assent.
1t has also been decided in United States
against Union Pacific Railroad Company
that no railroad company owning a post
road of the United States, over which inter
state commerce is carried on. can con-
sistently with the act of July "a, 1866, bind
Itself by agreement to exclude from its
roadway any telegraph company incorpOr-
ated under the laws of a STATE, which ac-
cepts the provisions of the act and desires
the use of that roadway for its lines IN
such manner as will not Interfere with the
ordinary travel thereon"
The deciding Judge, In closing, said:
In view of the facts presented and for
the reason stated, / have decided TO make
permanent this injunction. In this way
the defendants will have an opportunity to
appeal to the next term OF the circuit court
of appeals. while, should the rule be dis
charged, the complainant would have no
appeal and the injury to its property, which
Is threatened, would have been accom-
plished before the case had been properly
I considered.
The contention OF the defendant company
that It has entered into a new contract
with another telegraph company and that
there is not sufficient room on its right OF
way for the lines Of more than one tele-
graph company. the decision says, ought
to await the final determination Of the
case.

CFrom a STAFF correspondent

DIES MONIES, Jan. 14.-(Special.)-A
conference was held today between the ex-
ecutive committee of the department OF ag-
riculture and W.. c.. Whiting of Monona
county, chairman OF the agricultural COM
mittee Of the Iowa Louisiana Purchase Ex-
position commission, in regard to methods
Of securing agricultural exhibits for the
state of Iowa to be taken to the exposition
at St. Louis next year. 1t was recognized
that many Of the exhibits will have to be
of this years growing on the Iowa farms
and that preparations must be commenced
at once. To accomplish this 1t was decided
that the exposition commission would make
offers OF special additional premiums to be
added to the state fair premiums for prod
ucts that are suitable 20 be kept over until
next year and to be forwarded to st. louis.
In this way it is believed that Iowa will be
able to gather a notable agricultural eX-
hibit for the exposition. The cooperation
of the State Agricultural college is also
sought in his work, and Mr.. Whiting went
to Ames today to consult with the men
at the experiment station. The annual
stock, grain and dairy school is now almost
concluded there and preparations for this
seasons work are under way. In addition
to this work, Mr.. Whiting and others OF the
commission will attend farmers institutes
and other meetings and present the needs
Of the exposition commission in regard to
exhibits.

E. r. Mason, clerk of the United States

formation from the wife of w. s. Richards,
formerly deputy marshal, stating the loca~
ton OF Richards. 1t is alleged that Rich
ards is wanted for completely In the rob-
| berry OF Sullivan at Hamilton last week and
that a warrant is IN the hands OF Shertff
Bybee OF Marion county for his arrest. Ma
| son declares that IL he is convinced that a
warrant is actually out for Richards he will
be glad to furnish information as to where
he can be found, but declines as yet to be-
lieve thai there is any warrant for his ar
rest. It is now stated that Richards is out
on a secret mission as a detective. 1t is
| generally believed he will not return, as
there ls an accumulation OF charges against
him, one relating to an estate which has
not been settled up and his alleged failure
to account for money in his hands. The
previous good reputation Of Richards is all
that saves the public from generally con-
| demning him. His friends persist in refus-
ing to believe him guilty and the case grows
in mystery.
