Robinson against him, Frederick c. Sweeney and
other heirs of Noah T SWeezey for accounting
OF certain portions of the estate of Noah SweeZey.
Noah Sweeney was the grandfather Of the defend
ant, and left a Will creating certain trusts and
leaving the residue Of his estate to his wife, Lydia
Ann Sweezey after whose death it was TO be ci-
Vided among their children.
The complaint alleges that Ethelbert 7. Sweeney
has not been heard OF by his relatives for five
years and that the applicant believes that he died
n May, 1899, leaving a wife and three children.
The affidavit quoted letter from the Rev. J. r.
Strong, Of lie Monte, Mo. stating that Sweeney,
who was then passing as Frank Lowell, had left
the house where he had been staying. leaving a
note that caused the minister believe that he in
tended suicide.

YOUNG BOY SHOOTS FIENp
WHO ATTACKS SISTER AND
is KILLED.
Details Of Terrible Tragedy Which
Occurred Near BartIesviIle, !. T.
4; Told in Letter to the Courier From
Mrs. Fannie Hatch.

"A graphic description of terrible
tragedy that occurred near Bartlesville,
I. T., few evenings ago, which re-
suited in the deaths of young lad,
who was defending his sister from the
attack of a burly negro, and the fiend
who was threatening to kill the girl
is given in letter to the Courier from
Mrs. Fannie Hatch of that place. Mrs
Hatch formerly resided in Ottumwa
but left several years ago for the In
dian Territory. Her letter is as fol
lows:
u "a terrible tragedy was enacted in
the vicinity of Bartlesville, Ind. Ter.
Friday evening March 4 at the home
of a Mr.. Bird. About s o'clock in
the evening while the two daughters
of Mr.. Bird were in the kitchen, they
heard loud knocking at the door
One or the girls opened the door and
was confronted by big burly colored
man. He asked for the man of the
house and as Mr.. Bird was away from
home, his son. a boy of II, came to the

A SYMPATHY RACKET.

thing New in Graft Line.


Ottumwa people are warned against
a new species of CRATER who has been
working in Clinton and other cities of
the eastern part Of the state. It is a
sympathy game and according to the
Clinton Herald this is the way it is
played:
"A well dressed CRATER appeared on
the streets Of Clinton yesterday, says
the Clinton Herald. He is a young
man apparently about Is years of age.
He goes to the house of some one and
shows some little hand painted silk
hearts and other Easter gifts, and in a
bashful and stammering manner says
that his mamma (here he mentions the
name of some Clinton LADY,, has made
the little trinkets and sent him out to
sell them to help a poor woman who is
in sore distress. The poor dear boy
is real bashful and ill at ease while
telling this tale of woe, and the lady
at the door takes a few of the cheap
articles and gives the blonde little phi
lanthropist many times the value of
his wares, to help mis- mamma" raise
money for the poor woman. He worked

door. The negro said to him 1T is not
you I want and stepping inside he
caught hold of the boys sister,a young
woman, and said: 4 want this girl or
her life Holding the girl with one
hand he leveled a "A calibre revolver
at her head. The boy said to him:
you can't have her. and started to
reach a gun which was hanging on
the wall AS he did so the negro shot
him through the leg, intending to Grip
pie him so he could not get the gun.
However, the brave boy managed
to get the gun and fired at the negro
just as the latter shot him. Both shots
were fatal and the negro f1end and the
brave little fellow. who was protecting
his sister fell at the same time.
."As soon as news of the affair
reached Bartlesville a large number
of the citizens left for the scene Of
the tragedy and the body of the dead
negro was brought to town by the
marshal. No one would touch him or
give anything towards his burial SO
the body was taken outside of town
and put in the ground without box.
"a subscription was started to buy
the finest casket to be had for the
brave boy and the necessary amount
was raised in a short time. The boy
was buried in the city cemetery and
the funeral was one of the saddest ev-
er held in this community A move
ment has been started to raise a suf-
ficient amount by subscription to erect
a monument over his grave.
1T is feared that the sister will lose
her reason as she has been in a state
bordering on nervous prostration ever
since the tragedy. The negro had as
saulted a woman early in the evening
but, was. attacked by dogs and escaped
after having all of his clothes torn off.
