cancellation or double assessment or re-
moval from the city. This leaves but 5 per
cent of the personal property tax of 1902
unpaid. 1t being owned by 5000 persons.
During the fiscal year 1902 no vans have
been sent out by the treasurer, but 1t is
believed that the use of these vans for the
collection of the taxes of the previous year
has had considerable effect upon the pay
ment of personal property taxes for 1902.
There is a story connected with the SER
vice OF the tax van which has never been told,
but the fact Is that with the exception OF
three cases Treasurer Hennings never took
from the house any property for the fail
ure of taxpayers to pay upon demand. At
the time the van system of collection was
suggested the treasurer saw an opportu-
nifty to do effective work and at the same
time work no hardship upon unfortunate
persons. He made a deal with the Ex-
pressman's Delivery company by which that
company supplied a van, which became we'll
known over the city because of the legend
which 1t bore, announcing that 1t was the
treasurer's van, to be used for the collec-
tion of delinquent taxes. The van was
then taken to a second a store, where
a quantity of furniture was leased by the
treasurer and after being hauled into an
other part of the city was brought to the
ONCE OF the treasurer and another "seiz-
ure' was recorded. This made the people
who had been notified that taxes were due
attend to the matter of payment. so that
more personal taxes were collected that year
than ever before.

DISASTER WRECKS REASON
Red Maddens the Engineer who Ran
Down a Trolley Car NJ
Newark. New jersey.

Haunted by the memories of that awful
morning in February when his locomotive
crashed through a carload OF school chill
dren at the Clifton avenue crossing, killing
min and wounding more than a score, os-
car Baroliffe, the Lackawanna engine
driver who held the throttle on that i'll
fated run, lies in st. Michael's hospital.
Newark, a mental wreck.
He has almost recovered from the in
juries he suffered when his cab was crushed
around hin like an eggshell by contact with
the trolley car. His physical condition i'm
proves steadily. but mentally his plight is
p~itiable, though the hospital physicians are
not without hope that In time his mind may
regain its normal poise.
At times Barclife appears quite rational,
but during the greater part OF the long days
and often in his delirium at night he fan
cies himself busy about his locomotive.
For some days he has been able to sit up
and his attendants have permitted him to
gaze out Of the windows and absorb the
genial warmth okthe spring sunshine.
But they have noticed that whenever he
sits there long he becomes strangely ex-
citable. Leaning far forward over the sill
he gazes ~intently ahead. Then his brow
wrinkles with a look OF horror, his Jaw
says hopelessly and he lurches backward
into his chair, waving his arms spasmod'
ically, while beads OF cold Precipitation
start from his forehead.
For a long time the physicians and at
tendants were at a loss to know the cause
OF his emotion. and they could only attrib-

the horror of his recollection. At last the
mystery has been solved. From the spot
where Barcliffe sat habitually he could see,
when he leaned forward. the image of st.

OLD JOHN FLANAGAN AGAIN
This Time the COlOred Centenarian IL
Defendant I'm I~ntunc-
tion Suit.

If all the allegations in q petition filed
in district court yesterday by the WI
nona Savings bank be true, John Flanagan
is a terrible" man and It behooves resi-
dents of Boyd's addition to put up the
storm doors. The bank has asked that he
be held in restraint by the court and
Judge Read has gratihed the wish, setting
the hearing for April rs, before Judge
Dickinson.
Flanagan is a colored man some centuries
old and has a notion q he owns whole
acres in Omaha residence districts. This
and the consequent litigation has made him
one of the historic characters Of the city.
But the eccentricity that has made him
prominent has also made him a source of
perpetual concern for his neighbors and
they live in that unpleasant state Of mind
endured by those who reside along the bikes
of the lower Mississippi. Every time he
overfows they take to the 1atboats and tall
trees.
About two weeks ago David T. Blue rowed
into court for an injunction to prevent
Flanagan from continuing his alleged eff
fort to SOW wheat on top of Blues potato
crop on a lot claimed by Blue under lease.
The hearing on this will not be until May
4, but now comes the bank with another
proceeding, similar in nature.
In the second petition It is alleged that
Flanagan has "terrorized" the neighborhood
of lot 10 in block 20 of the Boyd addition.
the trouble began, 1t is charged, when
Flanagan moved a quantity of old umber
onto the plaintiffs premises and essayed
to build some sort Of structure. The hold
ers of the lot moved the lumber on many
times and Flanagan moved 1t on again
Just as often. Finally, It is alleged, the
dusky centenarian adopted more threaten
ing methods, "striding the lot with a
bludgeon," and sitting at his cabin door
near the premises with threatening and
devouring looks" The petitioner charges
that he behaved as a veritable Sultan OF
Sulu" in the matter of domination and
that there is simply nothing left to do but
appeal to the strong arm of the law. Nc
amount OF money will square matters
plaintiff states. but the security afforded
by an injunction is what 1t desired and
must be had.

SHORT CHANGED IN cow DEAL
Why James WhaIen Wants Two Hun

James whalen has concluded that VII
liam sehwenk short-changed lin in a cat
the deal. and has appealed to the district
court to make Schwenk DO p~ennance to the
extent Of about 5000.
It is WhaIen's allegation that he bought
three COWS OF the defendant upon the lat
ter's representation that in due course Of
time the three would become six without
effort on Whalen's part. But only one
met expectations, and she was very slow
about II. On this count plaintiff alleges
he was damaged SIS worth. A second
count is hat when he took the fruitful
COW and her fruit to schwenk to be pas
tured the latter promised TO put them on
long grass and let them eat at the FIRST
table, but that instead he retired them to
a spot more bare than Dave Hills dome
and they nearly starved. On this score he
asks the rest Of the $500 elsimsd as lam

WHEELBARROW EPISODE
Amusing Experience of an American
Woman travelling I'm the
Celestial Empire.

Writing in the April Housekeeper of the
many strange modes OF transportation she
has employed during her worldwide trav-
els. Jessie Ackermann says:
At some time or other II has been my lot
to employ practically every mode OF trans
portation in existence. In America we
hardly realize the fatigue and hardships
inseparable from journeys along untrod-
den paths in China, Africa and other re-
gions where the shrek of the locomotive
is rarely heard. What would the Amer
lean woman who regards even a 100-mile
journey in a Pullman palace car as an
ordeal to be avoided, say to a ride in a
rickety old wheelbarrow, a common eX-
perience Of mine in the remote portions Of
the Celestial kingdom? In many parts OF
China horses and carriages are attached to
every we'll regulated household, but leaving
the ports we find the horse an animal al
most as rare as he promises to become in
our own country when the automobile has

In many provinces there are no regular
roads. and the use of carts Is impossible.
Here the natives have devised a means
Of locomOtion unknown elsewhere, the
"wheelbarrow built for two" It is some
what different in construction from the
American wheelbarrow, but propelled in
like fashion. The wheel is much larger and
comes up through the center. with room
for a seat on each side. One is intended
for the traveller and the other for his bag

balance that Of the passenger. l was not

BUTLER, Mo-, April 17.-Dr. James L
Gartrell, the aged murderer Of D. B, Done
gan, a Colorado miner, was hanged in the
county Jail yard at 1918 this morning.
About $500 persons witnessed the execu-
ton, many coming to the town from the
surrounding country.
Rev. Williamson OF the Christian church
addressed the crowd from the scaffold be-
fore the condemned man was brought in.
DR.. Gartrell displayed remarkable nerve
and talked briefly to the spectators before
the black cap was adjusted.
He stated that he had only one enemy
he could not forgive, but he wouldn't men
tion his name.
History of the Crime.
In March. 1901, D. B, Donegan. a gold
miner from the Gunnison country, Colorado,
zane here to provide himself with an OUTFIT
to drive overland to Oklahoma, where he
intended to buy a ranch.
He met DR.. James L. Gartrell and the
latter's son William. An arrangement was
made that the three should drive to
Oklahoma together. When about 100 miles
from Kansas City the party stopped to
tpend the night in a deserted cabin. A
hre was kindled and the three men lay
down TO sleep, but only the two younger
men slept.
When the younger Gartrell awoke he
saw that his father had killed Donegan
by splitting his head with an ak. The
young man said to his father: what did
you kill him for, father?"
Because, son, we needed the money
answered the old man.
The two men carried Donegan's body to a
nearby creek and dropped II in, The spring
freshets soon washed the body out on the
banks, where it was found about two weeks
later. Suspicion was directed towards the
Gartrells and when upon Investigation It
was learned that DR.. Gartrell had sold the
team Of horses in the neighborhood where
the crime was committed the father and
son were arrested.
Or. Gartrell later confessed that he killed
Donegan, entirely generating his son, but
he insisted that he did it in selt-defense
DR.. Gartrell was the Oldest man upoI
whom the death sentence has ever beer
pronounced in Missouri. He was NOR,
than es years old. He was six feet tall
very erect despite his age. and wore
long flowing white beard. At one tim,

SKULLS AS MUTE WITNESSES
Sensational Developments Are Promised in
the Fair Will Case.
BODIES DEcAPITATEO IN AUTOPSY
Heads May he Brought Into Court ia
Refute the Evidence of the
Frenchmen MOrane
and Mas.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 17.-The Call
this morning says that startling develop
ments are promised in the Fair will case
now before the courts.
1t is alleged that facts have come to light
here most damaging to the testimony given
a few days ago in New York by Lucien Mas
and Alfred J. Morane, the Frenchmen who
were called to recount certain incidents
attending the death Of Charles L. Fair
and his wife In France. which, II true,
would strongly tend to establish as a fact
that Mrs. Fair survived her husband and
thus left her own relatives the direct heirs
to the fortune inherited under these cir
cumstances from her husband.
1t has been learned, continues the Call,
from one OF those who is deeply con-
cerned in the Fair case that the skulls Of the
late Mr.. and Mrs. Fair, whose bodies were
shipped back to San Francisco after they
had been relinQuished by the French au-
thorities, have been preserved and are now
in the custody Of responsible persons here,
ready to be produced when the time comes
for refuting the evidence given at New
York.

May Transfer the Case.

whether they will be sent to New York
or remain here is q matter that will wholly
depend on a move that will be made
shortly to have the case transferred to
the courts Of this city.
When the bodies Of the Fairs were re-
ceived in New York from France they we're
discovered to be In such a decomposed
condition that It was deemed advisable
to hasten tine funeral in San Francisco. 1t
is now stated that the funeral was followed
by IN autopsy that included the decapita-
tion Of both bodies, an operation that was
made by Drs. Galway and Robinson.
The testimony OF Mas and Morane that
Mrs. Fair was living when they approached
the bodies and that blood was streaming
down one side Of her face is contradicted
by concrete evidence-the woman's skull.
It can be shown by the skull that such
would have been an impossibility, It is
claimed.
The skull of Charles Fair. now in the
safe keeping of his friends. was not
! crushed in the manner described by the
French witnesses. In fact, 1t remains in
tact, although showing q depression caused
by q forceful contact. which resulted in
conclusion OF the brain and the death OF
the man.

this morning for the murder on March 2,
1901, of Ruth Nollard, his former sweet
heart. Taylor was baptized into the Cath
ole church last night. He talked calmly
Of the approaching end, slept we'll and
walked to the scaffold bravely. Taylor ex-
pressed sorrow for his crime, but added:
II loved her and wasn't willing to live
without her."
Taylor's crime was prompted by jeaI-
ousy, because Miss Nollard, a working girl
Of 10, had Tilted him. He planned the muir
der most deliberately. He lay in wait for
his victim several days and fred the fatal
shot at her with a rife from a second
story window In West Ninth street as she
passed by on the opposite side with her
sister. The officers had diflculty in pre-
venting a crowd that gathered from lynch
Ing Taylor. His lawyers tried to save him
on the plea Of insanity and epilepsy and
several appeals for clemency had been
made to the governor.
Taylor was formerly a base ball player,
having gained some prominence in minor
leagues. He was 20 years old.
Shortly before the march to the scaffold
Taylor handed his brother a small package
Of strychnine. The murderer said that he
had had the poison for several months ami
intended to commit suicide last night.
After being converted yesterday, however,
he had decided to meet his fate. Taylor
probably was the coolest man that was ever
hanged In Jackson county.
