the gas escaped in such quantities
that there was an explosion, and quite
a blaze, but no one was injured and
no damage was done. But 1t never

the same ditch. gave way and the vi
entity was flooded, making the work
doubly hard and disagreeable. The
roller was finally hoisted out OF the
ditch by means OF jacks. but when it
had been again been put on dry land
it was found that the troubles We're
not yet over. There was no room to
turn or get out, and that unfortunate
ditch had to be filed up and to be
covered with heavy planks before the
roller could be run out and resume
operations

clock IN the evening, and an examina-
ton % the body was male.
Tie remains were those OF middle
aged T. an, attired in blue trousers and
a sweater. The feet were bare. The
body had evidently been In the water
for several days, as 1t was in an adj
vanced stage OF decomposition. And
though the features Were unrecognlz-
able, when the officers turned the body
over on its back, there was no doubt in
the minds of the spe ..;LtorS that the
remains We're those OF Jacob l.. Zeig-
Ter, the north side cigar maker, who
n,s been missing for So ,eral weeks.
This cnnion was confirp..1 later Ven
the personal effects found in the rock
cts of the dead man wer. identified as

fishing in the islands of the Iowa
side Failing to return on Monday at
ternoon as he had stated he would, his
family became alarmed, and search
was commenced, which was continued
day after day. but was barren Of re-
suits. The belief that he had been
drowned was strengthened when his
boat was found. floating south in the
Iowa slough. 1t contained the mans
shoes. his lunch and fishing tackle.
The latter had not been ,infolded The
weeks passed and no trace of the miss
ing man was found. The chief of po-

The Rough Rider Of Esopus.
New York Globe. I


While his friends at st. Louis were
making the final roundup Of the dele
gates in sufficient numbers to insure
his nomination, almost beyond a doubt.
where was the judge? Sitting with ear
glued to telephone receiver. or with 1
hearing of the tick-tick of the telegraph
Instrument. Not at all. He was maxi
ing wild ride across country thru one
of the worst thunder storms of the sea-
son. The clouds were black and lower
ing when he started, but he would not
be stayed And only once during the
binding rain and wind and lightning
followed by terrific bolt OF thunder,
did Ire seek shelter-"when he thought
he saw the tips Of tree in front OF
him splintered by a bolt Of lightning"
The Judge arrived at his home drench-
ed to the skin but not a bit the worse
for his ride, In fact he likes this sort OF
thing.
And here the truth might as well be
told: 1.-The judge is averse to having
anything said which might picture him
as a poser in any way. either as an
athlete or farmer. He is not averse
however, to having the truth told HIS
horseback riding has been an important
part OF his daily life for twenty-five
years. as the residents of Kingston
and Esopus know"
The Judge In short was rough ride
ing before some people whose names
could be mentioned were hardly out OF
their knickerbockers. Thus far In adj
vance 1t can be seen the approaching
campaign will be strenuous one.

Iowa Judge Holds That Wish of
Deceased Cannot be Injured by Law.
Special to Times Republican.
Council Bluffs, July 25.--Judge
Wheeler Saturday pronounced ruling
in the district court to the effect that
Ia mothers wish as to the disposition of
property after it has been regularly
willed to her children cannot be carried
out by any process Of law. This de-
cision was rendered in the estate case
of Mrs. Eloise Rohr, deceased.
When Mrs. Rohr died she left farm
to her four children giving each a
fourth interest. The devisement was
without condition, but in two para
graphs of the instrument the testator
expressed desire that her son, Frank
Hackman, on attaining his majority
should have the privilege of purchasing
the whole property at $40 per acre.
This is considerably less than the cash
value of the land.
Two Of the children have since as
signed their shares to William Arnd,
but Frank and Emma Hickman. the
other two, retain the portions willed
to them. All three of these persons
united in a request to Judge Wheeler TIC
Econstrue the will as to whether or not
the dead womans wish was of bind
ling nature.
1t was held by the court that as the
| farm was willed in absolute fee to all
the children, II subsequent clause could
not apply. This leaves The farm to be
divided amongst the heirs and the as
lsignee In any manner that they may
lagree upon.
