DES MONIES COLORED MAN
INHERITS FORTUNE.

Joseph w. Walker, citizen O
this city, has just been notified
that he has come into an inheri
tance of large share of SIS, 0O(
estate, whose accumulation form
ed one of the many interesting
stories that followed the liber'
| alton of the slaves of the south
during the civil war.
The inheritance came to Mr..
Walker through the death of an
aged aunt, Mrs. Amanda Moore
of Bobtown, KY. She died Sept.
3, 1905, after she had reached
the age of 80 years. She was
born a slave and was made free
by the war and President Linz
coins emancipation proclamation.
Mrs. Moore accumulated the
property through her own efforts
almost entirely, caring most as
siduously for her small earnings
and investing them judiciously.
Her husband died during the war.
He was slave, also, but when
his freedom came to him he show
ed his gratitude by enlisting in
union army. His life was the
cost of his loyalty, for he died
while fighting for the flag that
made him free. After the death
Of her husband Mrs. Moore was
left on her own resources, but
she labored aud saved until her
property amounted to the consid-
cradle sum of S25,0OO or more.
The estates includes a fine 100
acre plantation within ten miles
of Richmond, Va.
QMr. Walker left Immediately
for Kentucky to participate in
the settlement of the estate.
There are only three heirs, all of
whom live in Iowa.

Electric Road.

Hon M. B. Gwinn and other rep
resentatives OF the Caldwell inter
urban electric railway, met with the
city council last Monday night and
secured an extension of the fran
chise granted Messrs. Lowell, Kir-
patrick and Dorman, which iran
chise had been transferred to the
company represented by Mr.. Gwinn
and others. Under the extension
work must begin on or before the
first of April. The plan is to con-
meet Boise, Star, Middleton and
other small towns with Caldwell.
The Tribune is not we'll informed
touching this project, but it seems
to be a good thing. 1t will be a
great convenience to the small
towns and the rural population,
Some time ago we minated that
there would be an extension of the
franchise. 1t has extended. Now,
let US hope, the electric railroad
will do likewise.
