LOVE MADE HIM CRAZY
David Chapman. lnfatuation for An
other Mans Wife Caused Him to At
tempt to Murder Her and Then Conn
nit Suicide.
to Times Republican

Special to Times Republican.
Muscatine, July l.-Crazed by an
Insane love for another mans wife,
David Chapman, single, sent bullet
thru his heart in her presence, after
firing three shots at her without effect
in her home three miles southeast OF
Springfield, small town few miles
north of West Liberty, yesterday after
noon at 80 o'clock. This is the story
that came from that place yesterday.
The woman who was the object of this
strange infatuation, was Mrs. James
Gruwell. the wife of we'll known far
mer and a member Of a respected fam
lily in the community. Chapman's pas
sion, 1t is said, had lasted for year,
and Mrs. Gruwell was aware OF It,
but had not told her husband. The
man who took his own life lived short
distance from the Gruwell home with
his brother. Andrew Chapman, and
family. occupying rooms in the same
house with them.
Wednesday. it is alleged, he left
home and went to see the woman and
tried to persuade her to leave her
home and run away with him. She
refused to leave her home and flus-
band, the story goes, and because Of
her refusal, he drew a revolver and
fired three shots at her, in the pres
ence of Mrs. Chapman, his sister-in-
law, who was at the neighbours house
at the time. with her children. Filled
with terror at his sudden action the
women saw him turn the revolver to
his breast and fire the fatal shot, ex
piring instantly before their eyes.
Tried to Dissuade Him.
Chapman had told his sister, Mrs.
Stense, of his passion for the wife Of
his neighbor, and she had tried to in
duce him to see the folly of paying at
tentions to her. In spite Of her re-
monstrance, however, the passion grew
to be ungovernable. Mrs. Gruwell. it
is said, refused to pay any attention
to his overtures from the very first
Her husband was entirely ignorant of
the state of affairs and was blowing
corn in a field near by at the time of
the attempted crime and suicide.
Was Melancholy.
Chapman had been rather morose
sort Of man and had lived in the
community only two years, coming
there from Tennessee where his par
ents live. His strange love for the
woman has existed for about a year.
He is about % years old and has been
farming in that community during the
past year. He has two brothers who
live in the same community, Andrew
and Peter Chapman, and a sister, Mrs.
Stense. His home had been in the
same house with his brother, Andrew.
After the coroner and the authorities
make the usual Investigations. the
body of the victim of his own passion
will be taken to his old home in Ten
nessee to be inferred. Although the
affair has aroused considerable COM
ment no blame is laid up to Mrs.
Gruwell.

Webster City, July 1.-The Grand
Union Tea Company has threatened to
enjoin the city Of Webster City from
charging its agents here II license. The
city council soma time ago threatened
to charge licenses 10 transient ped
dlerS and at their last meeting in
structed the city attorney to draw up
council took this action in response to
requests from the local merchants. The
license will probably be fixed at 500
per year. In a case carried UP from
Cedar Falls the supreme court of Iowa
affirmed the rights of cities to charge
license to merchants OF this class. The
Grand Union Tea Company. however.
has appealed the case to the United
States supreme court, and it is pend
ing a decision of this court that the
tea company threatens to enjoin Web
ster City from collecting this license.
The city, however, will probably go
ahead with the action 1t has started
toward the protection OF home mer-
chants.
The Grand Union Tea Company, who
sends agents to Webster City at stated
intervals, and who will be compelled to
pay the license demanded by the city
council in case the council has author
ity to impose 1t, proposes to fight the
matter thru the courts and has for
warded a letter to Mayor Edwards of
this city. which says:
'Omaha, Neb. June 81, 1904.--To the
Honorable Mayor, Webster City, Iowa.
Dear Sir: l have before me a clip
ping from the Freeman-T Tribune, which
states that your town as about to pass
an ordinance which will be prohibitive.
take the liberty Of handing you here
with a statement of facts that l am
sending out to the different towns and
cities who have threatened to modest
our men.
Now, have about decided to apply
for an injunction in the United States
court to prevent you from interfering
with our business until the question is
finally decided, If the federal court will
not decide 1t right then and there for
US. This continued harrassing OF our
men by threatening arrest and intfin-
dating our customers must cease, as It
is injuring our business.
II think il you will look us up you
will find that we are responsible
house. doing legitimate business, and
we have perfect right to send our
statesmen to drum UP business for us in
any town, city or county in the United
States without being disseminated
against.
I'VE can understand the pressure
that the retail grocers' association is
bringing to bear ON the town authori-
ties. We know this lis so because they
were so persistent at Missouri Valley
that the authorities finally got out
warrants. Upon learning of this,
wrote the mayor and arranged to take
our men by habeas corpus proceedings
before the United States supreme
court He then demanded that the
grocers' association give the city ~

DRY RUN SEWER COMPLETED.

Special to Times Republican.
Waterloo, July 1.-The great Dry
Run sewer has been completed at an
approximated cost Of $4,000. and will
be turned over to the city. The sewer
is 3,540 feet long and the amount of
dirt removed in making the excavation
was $4,000 square yards. The mater
ial used I'm the construction Of the
sewer was $4,000 barrels of cement,
Z 900 yards Of rock and 1000 yards OF
sand. Work was commenced in August
1902, and was completed in just twen-
ty-one months, which is considered
very good time considering the great
amount of labor necessary. and its be-
ing more OF an experiment than any
thing else, In its construction, none of
the parties connected with the work
having had experience with similar
contract IF II WAS to be rebuilt, 1t is
probable that much less time would be
necessary owning to the valuable ex-
perience gained.

Ills Broadway, April 5.
The Roard of Health and the Pacific
Incinerating Company, which holds the
contract for the disposal Of the munich
pality's garbage. are at loggerheads. 1t
is because the Health Department has
ceased enforcing the new garbage ordi-
nance after arresting two scavengers
for collecting refuse that the crema-
tory company feels aggrieved. The cor
poration people declare that the law
will avail them little if prosecution
cease at this juncture.
On the other hand. the Health De-
partment inspectors assert that for the
purposes of testing the law, the two
arrests that have been made are sufFi-
cient and will serve the purpose fully
as we'll as if 100 scavengers were ar
rested
Attorney l.. S. Church, who repre-
sents the incinerating company, has
been busy in an effort to force further
arrests. He asserts that the new law
is being steadily violated, that the
scayengers are collecting garbage. that
they are paying no attention to the ex-
istence Of the crematory and are evil
IDENTIFY preparing to fight every move
that shall be made to put them out of

Attorney Church said that his clients
were very much dissatisfied with the
situation. They are hopeful that the
ordinance viii be sustained in the
courts, but long legal fight will be
necessary to settle the controversy.
Meanwhile the crematory people fear
the scavengers will continue in busi-
ness and that a small percentage of
the total garbage accumulations will
find its way into the incinerating fur
naces. where, the company declares,
the law says it shall go.
Concerning the Board of Health's at
titude, Inspector Gemmel said: Il have
been notified that the arrests already
made are sufficient for test of the law.
