New Light on Murder Case.
Des Moines, Oct. 25.--Cleared OF
the awful charge of murder by the
confession of another man. Frank
Shercliffe, principal witness against
Tom Dennison, can now walk the
streets of Des Moines in safety With
out fear of sudden arrest and kidnap-

Ever since Shercliffe, or Sherman
Morris, as he is rightly known, had
announced his intention Of appearing
as witness against Tom Dennison. OF
Omaha, he has been the victim OF
ceaseless prosecution. Charge after

by officers Of half dozen different
states. Sa1ercliffe's friends claimed

the charges. Just as often has Denni-
son denied the charges.
But one charge of murder was pre-
ferred against Sherclifte, that of the

Leadville, in 1903.

Shercliffe admitted to the governor

Old Controversy Over Posses

WANT THE TITLE ouIETED
Farmers Residing on the Edges of the
Lake Claim Title to Parts Of the
Lake Bed by Reason of Adverse

Special to es-Republican.


Jewell, Oct. 25.-In a hearing before
the township trustees the old contro-
versy over the ownership of Island
lake has been revived. The case is
one of much interest and has been in
dispute for long tine.
The title to this vast area of former
swamp land, as a matter OF fact, IS
vested in G. T.. Chamberlain and
others But the farmers residing on
the edges of this lake have occupied
its shores for years and in fact ever
since the waters have receded. They
claim various portions of it by reason
of adverse possession and other
claims. The claims held by them
have been threshed over for years.
Finally about a year ago a hearing
was s.iv n at the capitol building in
pes Ones before Governor Cum

state could give them, they found some

who hold title from the state viii! have
succeeded in getting the boundary
fence put up. But in any event the
present controversy will land the
matter in the district court, Ter
whichever party loses will anp1al it
The present controversy is merely the
