Clinton. Nov. .24.-John Seimer. the
forger, who was brought back from
Salem, Ore, where he had just COM
pleted sentence of two years in the
Oregon penitentiary, is in some re-
spects. a record breaker in the criminal
history of this county. Sheriff Moran
arrived here with his prisoner Satur-
day morning. Monday afternoon he
entered plea of guilty to the charge
of forging the name of A. +. Hand, a
prominent Clinton county farmer to a
check for $500, and received a sentence
OF ten years in the penitentiary. He
was taken to prison last night by Sher-
III Moran. and this morning donned the
prison garb, all inside of three days
from the time he landed in the state.
Seimer was a prisoner at Salem at
the time of the escape of the notorious
outlaw, Tracey. He says he was work
Ing in the iron foundry at the time.
About o'clock on the morning of June
8, 1902, he heard commotion and the
discharge of a rifle He opened the
door and stepped out Just as Tracey
shot and killed Guard Jones on the top
OF the tower. Merrill, who escaped
with Tracey, and was later shot by
the latter, was with Tracey. Each had
q Winchester and either killed or
wounded every man at whom they fir
ed. A panic ensued and all was con-
fusion, the guards and prisoners seek
Ing places of safety.
Seimer came to this city three years
ago from Illinois. He had always been
employed on q farm. He worked for
e short time In brick yard here, then
committed the forgery and fed to Ore
gon. Made bold by the success OF his
crime here, he committed similar one
in Oregon, but was detected, arrested
and sent to the penitentiary for two
years. He was met at the gate OF the
prison by Sheriff Moran, and arrested
and brought back to this city. Until
Monday he maintained his Innocence,
but then broke down and made fuil
confession. He says his downfall 10
due to liquor.
Soon after Seimer arrived at Ore
ron. he was married to young lady
at Salem, and he is the father OF
child which was born while he was In
the penitentiary. He says his wife
knew nothing of his crime here. ana
was not aware of the fact that he was
brought to this state. She knew that
his term In prison had expired, and
said she had doubtless been waiting for
his return home. He wrote her just
before he left Clinton for the peniten-
tiary Of his crime and the sentence ne
received here. He says after he has
served his sentence he win return to-
his wife and babe, providing she re-
mains true to him.

members of the Linn county board Of
supervisors, and r. c. Jackson, county
auditor, must answer to writ OF GER
tiorari issued by Judge William G..
Thompson of the Linn county district
court, in a case wherein the Cedar
Rapids and Marion City railway COM
pany is plaintiff.
Col. Charles A. Clark, counsel for the
plaintiff company. has attacked the
law under which the four state Of
ficers mentioned We're made members
OF the executive council and under
which they, as members OF that body.
assessed the property Of the plaintiff
company at 1871 per mile, for 1875
miles. The city will be vitality In
terested In the progress and outcome
of this case. as the company claims
that its property can be assessed on
ly by local authorities, which Is the
claim of the city. The company
claims that under an act passed by
the legislature at its last session its
line should be classed with electric
railways" over which, 1t is claimed,
the executive council has no control.
The city of Cedar Rapids goes
somewhat further in its claims, In
volved in the matter of collecting
amount of tax that the railroad, tele-
phone, telegraph and express COM
panies should pay. and asserts that
the entire law Is invalid; that the To-
cal authorities alone should have the
right to assess railroad property; that
the valuations returned by the rail-
road companies and other corpora
tons are entirely out OF proportion to
the real value of the property. and
that any law which gives any other
township. town or city the benefit Of
the value of property owned by cor
porations in this city Is against pub
lie policy and wrong. The city claims
that city authorities alone can have
any idea OF the valuation Of corpora
ton property. It also claims that the
valuations returned by the corporations
are accepted by the executive council
as correct and that there Is no oppor-
tunity for the people to increase
them.
