Des Moines, Iowa, Feb. 24-The rail-
roads have had another blow aimed at
them by the introduction in the senate of
a Dill by Senator Bruce, which is sim
liar to, but more far-reaching, than the
Delano bill, which requires all railroads in
Iowa to issue passes to live stock ship
pers to and from destination of ship
ments. The Bruce bill requires the rail-
roads to exercise exceptional care in the
lieVes them from extraordinary precau-
lions when they issue passes to the con-
signees.
Like the Delano bill, it requires ship
ments of freight to be carried at the rate
of twenty miles an hour, proper equip
ment of cars and good station facilities
along the line Of the shipment. The rail-
road lobby has announced it's intention
OF lighting the Bruce bill as it has the
Delano measure.

I Senator Garst is the author of a bill de-
signed to increase the revenues of the
state from collateral inheritance some

stead of straight S per cent tax by col
lateral heirs, all nonresident aliens who
are brothers and sisters and heirs to
estates in Iowa, must pay 10 per cent, and
all other nonresident aliens, 20 per cent on
their shares
The bill is Endorsed by the lieutenant
governor and others, and is expected to
become a law.

Anoka, Mimi, Feb 24-Four years
ago the coming May unknown assassins,
covered by the darkness of night shot
four members of the Wise family in the
town Of Grow, Anoka county, and made
good their escape. Mrs. William Wise, the
mother, died after two days of suffering
from the effects of three wounds. The
baby boy was instantly killed. The other
boy, Little joe was shot thru the lungs,
and the father was terribly injured about
the head a charge of buckshot in the
neck causing complete paralysis from the
shoulders down.
William Wise, the father, lay for weeks
in the care of physicians. He was moved
to Minneapolis and placed in hospital.
Later he was taken into the northern part
OF the state, and about two years ago was
brought to the Anoka poorhouse, a pretty
place three miles east. For two years
he was bedridden, absolutely unable to
move. Gradually and so slowly as to be
almost slmperceptible he began to i'm
prove, and now is able to walk and use
his hands. Two more years will no doubt
give him enough strength to enable him
to leave the institution.
MIR. Wise has always been reticent about
the shooting, and was a difficult witness.
Many have believed he knew far more
than he told. His face is covered with
a beard and he looks much better than
hair is turning gray.
Both Girls Married. -
ELIZA is married to a Minneapolis
blacksmith named Floreday,'' said Mr..
Wise. Martha married an engineer

was not shot with shotgun, but with

''Well, were the authorities far off in
their endeavor to fix the guilt?'
II do not believe they were," was the
answer.
Mr.. Wise was asked what his attitude
was toward those who had so wronged
him, and replied that he would certainly
try and square accounts If the opportunity
ever came.

He said that the finding Of the rifle
in the Johnson haystack was a put-up
