MORE CHECKS GIVE TROUBLE
While in the East Recently MIR. Fer
rim Issued Checks Against the Com
pany's Account, Which the Directors
Refused to Honor-This Led to His
Retirement and Adjustment of the
Office.

Important developments within the
board Of directors of the tnterurban
company came to head at the Mon
day evening meeting, when the office
Of general manager was abolished and
e. A. Ferrin retired from official con-
nection with the company. Mr.. Fer
rim was released by the directors
principally on account of objection
able business transactions which
have come to light since
he made recent trip to the
east in connection with the financing
Of the proposition.
The principal difficulty between Mr..
Ferrin and the directors is due to
his having issued checks, while in the
east, on the City National bank of this
city, to which he affixed the signatures
Of the Marshalltown Interurban Com
pany, as it's manager. These checks
one for $50 and the other for $500, ar
rived here ahead of Mr.. Ferrin, and
when presented for payment to Treas
urer G. r. Speers, of the company,
were refused. This was done be-
cause Mr.. Ferrin had already been al
lowed expense money for his trip. and
these checks were in excess of that
Limitation. Following the receipt of
the checks it was deemed necessary by
certain members Of the board that Mr..
Ferrin's services cease, hence the for
NAL action followed.
The checks were returned to the To-
cal bank and friends of Mr.. Ferrin,
among the directors, paid the one fo-
$50. The larger one has been return
ed protested by the bank to it's eastern
correspondent. AS yet no legal action
for collection has been commenced.
Work Will be Unaffected.
The passing of General Manager
Ferrin, members of the board say, will
In no wise affect the interurban sit
uation, which is now deemed to be in
better shape, and nearer a final reali-
cation of the efforts, than it has ever
been before. Its affairs are in such
compact and concise shape that a
definite understanding from the east
ern financing firm is expected soon
after election. For the present, at
least, President A. D. Meeker will have
direct charge of the corporations bus

R. c. WARNER IS CHOSEN MANAGER

BY unanimously action the board of
directors of the Marshalltown Base
Ball Association, at its meeting Mon
day night, chose Robert G. Warner, of
Sioux Falls, S. D., who last year man
aged the Grays, as manager for this
sity's team of the Iowa State League
next year. The contract has not yet
been closed with Mr.. Warner, but
President L. S. Peckham has received
word from him that he would return
under contract the same as last year.
The new contract will be in main like
last years, and will fix the managers
salary at $15O a month. Mr. Warner
will play at second next year, which
will be also covered by the contract.
This will be drawn UP and mailed for
his signature today. The question as
to whether or not Warner would be in
the game was on what hinged his Sc
lection. AS soon as it was known def
nitely that he would play his selection
was unanimous.
President Peckham appointed the
following committees to look after the
work of next season.

improvements at the Brittan g. Co.
Plant, Which Will Involve an Ex.
penditure Of About $4,000, to Be
Begun Friday-Work Will Continue
All Winter-C. F. Reimer Gets First
Contract.
The contract for the first building
which will mark the beginning OF addl-
lions. and improvements to the Brit
tan & Co. packing plant. that, when
finished will approximate an expendi-
ture of about $4,000, was let Monday
night by Manager A. G. Click to Z. =.
E;emer. The new structure will be used
for storage, shipping and will be fitted
with new office apartments. The build
| ing will be two stories in height, and
will be built of cement blocks, with
ground dimensions of 63x54 feet. Inc
contract price was $4,000.
The cellar Of the new building VIII
be used for cold storage, the first floor
for shipping and the second Tor o1nces
and storage. The work of clearing the
ground was begun today, and the ex-
cavation will be started Friday.
Turnout the winter the other I'M
provements will be made. The hrst is
to be q new seventy-five ton refrlger-
ating machine which is to cost about
$4,000. The capacity of the drying de-
partment, for reducing the liquid offal
into fertilizer, will be enlarged before
spring, entailing an expenditure or
about $4,000. Extensive improvements
to the interior and machinery of the
plant, including new chilling room,
with an approximate cost of about
SO, 900, will be done. In the spring the
big storage house will be built, and Its
cost is estimated at about $4,000. This
last structure will not be attempted
this fall, owing to the building of the
smaller one, which is badly needed.
Mr.. Click has heard from Mr.. T. i.
Boyd, the London stockholder, who has
suggested that the resolution of the
council be changed to read that i'm
provements be made of a value of from
$4,000 to $4,000, instead of only the
latter sum, which might furnish a loop
hole for some future council to with
draw from its part of the agreement.
Mr.. Click will cause to be presented
before the conucil an amendment to
the first resolution. The improvements,
however, will be close to $4,000.

is At THE POINT OF DEATH
While Alone in Her Miserable Home,
at the Corner of Church and Third
Streets, Miss Brown Was Stricken
With Apopexy-Lies on the Floor
Before an Open Door, All Monday
Night.

With wealth that could have made
her comfortable in her old age, Deli
lah Brown, a maiden lady, with mis-
erly inclinations, was found this NOR
ming lying on the floor of the wretched
howell at the corner of Church and
Third streets, which she called home.
unconscious and almost dead. 1t is
thought that early Monday evening
she was stricken with an attack of
apoplexy, and all thru the night she
lay, with the cold wind blowing thru
the open door, chilling her body thru,
and thru. She regained partial con-
seriousness this morning, but lapsed
again into her former condition, ana
the attending physician says there is
little hope of her recovery.
Miss Brown was found about o.
clock by Gladys Anderson, a neigh
bor's daughter who went to the house
! to ask her to come and assist Mrs.
Anderson in some work. The door Of
the single room of the weather. beaten,
rickety old house, which Miss Brown
used was standing open, and on the
floor but a few feet inside, with her
sun bonnet crushed under her head,
lay the lonely occupant. Help YVES
summoned a physician was called,
and turnout the day neighbor women
have been watching by the bedside.
When the woman was found, the body
and limbs We're cold and stiff.
Has Led Peculiar Life.
To a Times Republican reporter
who called at the house, the neighbors
were able to give some facts concerns
ing this peculiar and lonely creature
whose fortune is estimated at from
s25, 900 to $4,000, yet who lived in
poverty, having only the barest neces-
stiles of life. For thirty-f1ve or forty
years Miss Brown has lived in the
same house. The single room occupied
was filled with bed, small stove,
table, chair or two, and few dishes:
No carpet covered the floor, and rough
and torn curtains of old cloth closed
the openings into the other rooms OF
the house. Upon the porch outside,
was piled fuel and vegetables, while
chickens wandered upon it, seemingly
at home.
The neighbors say Miss Brown is the
possessor of much property. 1t Is
known she owns a good farm Of 100
acres in Pocahontas county, a farm
and forty acres of valuable timber land
in Nebraska, several lots on West
State street. the place in which she
lives. She did have money on deposit
in banks of this city and Conrad. She
spent but very little, however, and liv-
ed alone. So far as is known she has
no relatives who have been here in
years. A brother and sister ane thought
to be living in Maryland, and neph-
ew, whose name Is said to be George
Miller, lives on his aunt's farm in Ne
braska. Cousins are living some where
in Illinois. Miss Brown is about 70
years of age.
