Clinton. March 12.-For a weel, last
summer four of the republican lnein-
bers of the city council of Clinton
spent a week over in Stony Point park
in Illinois. in order to escape from the
labor union mayor who was trying to
force them to attend a session OF the
city council. The republicans refused
to attend for the reason that one OF
their number was in California and
they feared legislation would be en-
acted which met with their disar prov
al. The elimination of that movement
and the bitter par, is<,nship which has
been feature of the present council,
is a citizens ticket to be voted on at
the municipal election to be held March
rs. A committee of nina, composed of
five republicans and four democrats
met and after three sessions lasting
for five hours each, recommended a
complete city ticket which was ra titled
at mass meeting. attended by 1000
voters. The labor unions did not nomi
nate a ticket this year, but will throw
considerable of their strength TO the
socialist ticket. Leading republicans
and democrats who have been bitterly
fighting each other at elections for
years are now working in harmony for
the elevation of the citizens ticket,
and the Herald. the official republican
organ OF the republicans, and the Adj
vertiser, which bears similar. rela-
tion ITO the democratic party. are both
enthusiastically supporting the ticket.
The citizens ticket is headed by james
Petersen, q prominent manufacturer,
for mayor. The socialists have nomi-
mated George Tucker, a printer.

Administrator of Deceased Carroll
County Farmers Estate Finds $13,-
600 In Small Safe at Farm Residence.

Special to Times Republican.
Carroll. March 12-Sensational de-
velopments have accompanied the pre-
liminary investigation of the financial
affairs of the late Mike Wurzer, a resi-
dent of Pleasant Valley township, Car
roll county.
Last week, '2tslliam Trowbridge, ex
county treasurer was appointed receiv-
er of the personal property. which was
the subject of dispute among the heirs
Last Monday accompanied by attorneys
interested in the case, he proceeded to
the farm a few; miles north of Dedham
to take possession of the property.
It has been thought for some
time that the deceased was
possessed of more means than were
in sight and the thought was current
that there was money concealed
around the premises some where. AS
is generally the case, the amount of
money was variously estimated, some
running it up in their minds to many
thousands, enough TO make the whole
family and relatives rich. Others We're
more conservative In their estimates
and did not think that the old man had
left much. He had been frugal, hard
working man, denied himself OF nee
essaries in many instances and did not
very often let a dollar get away. His
wife died some years ago and he lived
at the old homestead. He latteriy sold
off most of the farm and put some of
the proceeds in the bank, but not all,
as disclosures revealed Monday when
the receiver and attorneys arrived
there was expectancy as they proceed
ed to take possession of the personal
property There was a small safe in
the house, which had not been opened
for a long time. that any of the fam
ily knew of John Keeper a son-in-
law. happened to know the combina-
ton, but had not opened the strong
BOX. AT the request of Mr.. Trowbridge
he turned the bolt and finally slipped
the door open. The contents were in
teresting in the extreme. There was
found in one. corner, currency and gold
amounting to over $1,000, and two
certificates of deposits in Carroll banks
showed that there Were over $4,000
more to WurtZer's credit here. This
| made over $4,000 cash in the safe
and in the Carroll banks. Aside from
this were notes and other credits
amounting to over $1,000 more, max
ling a total in personal property OF
over $4,000. The rolls of bills had
been placed in this secret repository
many yearsc ago, for they were musty
and moulds- with age. Evidently the
old man was not willing to trust the
banks with his accommodations and he
took this way or boarding his gains
The contents were taken to this city
where they were all placed In the
bank in charge of the receiver. 1t is
likely that the heirs will not be able
TO settle matters out of court and the
probability is that their differences will
have to be adjudicated.
