With Bindinu IMine

Davenport, July 11.-Because his
mother had whipped him for trivial
Oftense i'll the morning, John
Schnoore, aged II years, son of Mr..
and Mrs. John Schnoore, residing a
mile west Of Blue Grass, went into
the woods about mile from his home
and hung himself by binding Irvine
to the limb of a tree.

The boy had always been apparent
ly bright and intelligent and no other
cause can be ascertained for his ac-

in the morning by his mother. He
left home about 2 o'clock and shortly
afterwards, being missed, a search

him in the woods a mile from his
fathers home and just across the

FIGHT TO COLLECT TAX.
After Collateral Heirs of The Late
Timothy Finn.

Des Moines, July 9.-The state
treasurer's office is preparing to fight
for the collection of a tax approx
mating $4,000, which it claims is due
the state from the collateral heirs of
the late Timothy Finn of Winneshlek
county. The latter was estimated TO
be worth from $4,000 to 100000.
His only heir was a brother, John Finn
who is, of course, collateral heir
and would be subject to the payment
of the per cent collateral inherit
ance tax imposed by the Iowa law.
But the state cannot find the proper
ty left by the deceased brother. Re
Gently the county attorney of Winnie
shiek county secured a report on the
estate, which showed life insurance
policy worth $1,000 and some smaller
amounts in moneys and credits. The
state insists that. there is evidence
of a much larger state and will go
into the courts to establish this fact.
1t is contended on the part of the
state that the late Timothy Finn and
his living brother conspired to de-
fraud the state of the collateral in
heritance tax. It is cOntended that
the late Mr.. Finn day or two before
he died decided over to his brother
all his real estate. which was valued
at $4,000, about one-third its actual
value, according to the state. The
latter contends that if it can he shown
that the two brothers did thus con-
spire in anticips ton of tbn death Of
one then it will be possible to set
aside the deed which conveyed the
rpo1 OF 10
tax
The rest Of the estate is said to
have been in notes and mortgages,
which have also disappeared al
though the county attorney is now
prosecuting a vigorous search which
he believes will bring these TO light
If this portion of the estate is dis
covered, then it will be possible also
to reach it with the tax. The matter
will come up in the courts of WINNIE
Shiek county in the near future

SEVENTEEN KILLED ON RAILWAY
Tragedy Of the Rail in New Jersey
Claims Many Victims.

ClaimS MANY VICTIMS.
New York, July 11.-Seventeen per-
sons were killed and about fifty in
jured in a collision at Midvale, N. j.,
yesterday, when a regular passenger
train On the Greenwood Lake branch
of the Erie railroad ran into an excur-
sion train that had stopped to take
water. All the dead and injured lived
in Hoboken, Jersey City and New
York.
The accident is believed to have re-
suited from tower operators having
lowered his signal too soon and this
was admitted by d. w. Cooke, gen.
eral passenger agent of the Erie rail-
road
The train which was run into was a
special carrying members of the first
Plattdeutcher association of Hoboken
on their annual outing and had eight
hundred passengers. 1t consisted OF
twelve cars and two locomotives. The
first locomotive had taken water aud
the train had moved up and stopped
with the second locomotive beside the
tank, when the regular train drew
near The fiagman Of the special
signalled the engineer of the oncom-
ing train, but owing to curve in the
road his flag was not seen until too
late. 1t Is said that the engineer Of
the regular train had slowed down to-
about ten miles an hour before he
crashed into the special, but the loco
motive tore through the rear car the
greater part of its length and drove
the forward end of that car into the
car ahead. The killed and injured
were in these cars.
The wreckage did not catch fire
and the work of taking out the dead
and manned was accomplished
