OF Being a Euqltive.

Dubuque. Dec. 1s.-Out Of money
and homesick in Minneapolis, Edward

ing the summer on farm near West
Union, Iowa, wrote to Sheriff Finch of
Fayette county. confessing to the forg-
cry Of check on the bank Of West
Union several weeks ago and request.
ing that officer to come after him.
The sheriff referred the letter to
the bank oiiiclals and an investigation
was made, resulting in the departure
of the sheriff for Minneapolis. and his
return therefrom with the repentant
young man, who is now in jail at
West Union, awaiting the action of
the grand jury.
The forged check called for only
$3.50, and was presented and paid
simultaneously with one given Klein
in payment of the balance due. him
for his summers work. He evidently
used the signature on the latter as
model for the forgery.

Met Death In Bed While Parents
Were Away.

Dubuque, Dec. 17.-Three small
children of August Batten, farmer
near New Albin, Allamakee county,
were burned to death Tuesday night
in a fire which destroyed the home
while the parents were absent.
The FIVE children were in bed when
the fire broke out, but only the two
eldest, cripple girl aged eleven and
boy aged nine years, were able to
make their escape.
The eldest boy helped his sister out
of the second-story window TO the
ground and returned to the house to
get the three younger, but the room
in which they were was all ablaze,
the heat and flames diving him back.
He was badly burned.
The parents knew nothing OF the

were standing outside the bank. He
suspected nothing wrong ar the time.

SOIpuCE. =.
The most sensational evidence in.
troduced was that of d. w. Sleator,
the 1S-year-old operator, who was held
responsible for the wreck and who
maintained his innocence to the last.
He said: Il am Is years old, and have
been employed by the Milwaukee for
six weeks. / received $47.50 month
as night operator at Give. / studied
telegraphy at Highland Park school of
telegraphy for seven months, but did
not graduate.

been six weeks at Luther and Ruth

replied I did not, and he told me to
read 1t and then said fSee what you
have done | said You told me to file
It, He said You are a liar and at
once began calling Waukee and Adel."
Sleator further testified that on Sun
day morning Dispatcher Litten called
him and said IF you try to lay the
blame On me I'll make II hot for you"
,Sle2tor was severely cross-question-
ed, but told substantially straight
story throughout. He won great deal
of sympathy.
Dispatcher Litten denied any re-
sponsibllity for the wreck and said
sleator was entirely to blame.

SLEATOR HELD To
BE RESPONSIBLE
But Coroner's Jury Exonerates
Him From Blame for the
Abel Wreck.
THE BOYS YOUTH SAVED HIM
Jury Also Declared That Railroad
Company Knew of His Inefficiency
as Operator Streator Declares He
Is Innocent

Adel, Dec. 21.-The verdict, which
was returned by Coroner Lods' jury
after investigating the cause of the
Milwaukee wreck, last Sunday, in
which three Des Moines men were
killed, perhaps is one of the most re.
markable ever recorded. The jurors
were inclined to place the blame on
the railroad company for hiring such
young and inexperienced operator
as Sleator for such an important posi-
ton as he held, but returned a YER
dict without placing the blame, and
were dismissed. The verdict is as
follows:
State of Iowa, Dallas County, IS.
An inquisition holden at Adel
In Dallas county, Iowa, on the 18th
18th and 18th days of December,
1903, before Henry p. Lods, coro-
ner of the county aforesaid, upon
the bodies of Frank Finnicum,
Oscar Dyer and Walter Ward,
there lying dead. by the jurors
whose names are hereto subscrib-
ed. The said jurors upon their
oaths do say that the said Frank
Finnicum, Oscar Dyer and Walter
Ward came to their death by q
head end collision Of two C. M.
& st. p. freight trains, ON the Des
Moines and Spirit Lake division
at point about two miles east of
the town of Adel.
Said accident in our Judgment
being due to failure on the part
of Operator David w. Sleator, of
Give, to deliver order No. to
Conductor Flynn, making the
meeting point of said freight
trains at Yankee, Ia, but owing
to the age, inexperience and recog-
nized inability of the said David
w. Sleator to handle complicated
train orders as shown by testi-
mony of Dispatcher w. w. Litten,
who on sworn statement said in
competency was made known to
the chief dispatcher, we believe
that the said David w. Sleator is
entitled to the sympathy of therail-
way officials and the general pub
lie, rather than their condemna-
tion.
In testimony whereof, the said
jurors have set their hands this
day and year aforesaid.

II seems almost certain that London will
go the way OF most cities on the continent,
and that its large private houses. those
castles so dear to the Englishmen, with all
their waste of space and extravagant cost
must give way TO flats. 1t seems probable
too. that London will improve upon the
continental practice and combine restau-
rants with flats. We may see that this
plan has already been tried with excellent
results in certain fats OF the more luxuri-
