Iowa City, Oct. 18.-The jury in the
Heath will case brought in a verdict
last night sustaining the will The
case involved an $4,000 estate and a
daughter brought the suit, asking to
have the will set aside. The case has
attracted much attention and has oc-
cupied more time in it's trial than any
case ever tried in this county. The
testimony was much of 1t sensational.
1t was alleged by the daughter that
Heath, who was wealthy farmer, was
not of sound mind when he executed
the will In the testimony it was said
the old man had peculiar habits, that
he was careless Of himself, allowed
himself to be exposed to the dangers
of blood poisoning, would eat no meat
but pork and was in other ways pc
culiar. An incident OF the trial was
the censure by the court of an edi-
torial in the Iowa City Republican
commenting on the case at trial and
expressing the opinion that the daugh-
ter should have been given the estate.

GET SA[RCL|FF[
Governor Cummins Denies the
Application For Diamond
Robbers Extradition
OF FUGITIVE FROM JUSTICE
The Executive Holds That ShercIiffe
Was Not in Oklahoma at tho Time
the Crime with Which He is Charged
Was committed-case os Mistaken
Identity.

Des Moines, Oct. Ex-Governor Cum
minis has refused the application of the
territory Of Oklahoma for the delivery
to it's officers of Frank Shercliffe,
charged with burglary. It is plain to
him that the preponderance Of evidence
is in favor Of the theory that Shercliffe
was not in Oklahoma at the time of
the commission of the crime for which
he is wanted there.
The governors decision as recorded
at the executive office, and of which
the governor Of Oklahoma has been
notified follows:
I'm the matter of the requisition is
sued by the governor Of Oklahoma
territory for the extradition of Sher-
man W. Morris, alias Frank Shercliffe,
Kid Mccoy etc.
II have most carefully examined the
papers submitted to me in this matter.
Morris was indicted by the grand jury
of Kay county, in said territory for
burglary The indictment is regularly
certified to me, together with the bench
warrant, SO that the papers in that
respect fully comply with the statute.
But one question is open for my ex-
amination-namely: Is the defendant
fugitive from the justice of Oklahoma
territory?
at Is obvious that IL Morris was not
in the territory at or about the time
the alleged crime was committed he
cannot be fugitive. and upon this
issue great deal of proof has been
submitted. It is unnecessary to review
it in detail. Suffice it to say that the
defendant has furnished me with many
affidavits from reputable citizens living
in and near Melbourne, Ia, showing
that turnout the month of June, 1901.
Morris was in Marshall county. 1t IS
impossible for me to doubt the truth
Of this showing, and I must conclude
that with most of the persons who
make affidavits in behalf of the requi-
sition, 1t Is case of mistaken iden-
tity.
Il am, therefore. constrained to re-
fuse the sappIi cation.

DEPOSITORS FIRST

Judge Gaynor Renders Important Do.
cision In the Case Of the Preferred
Creditors of the Sheldon State Bank
Deposits and Certificates to Be
Paid First.
Sheldon, Iowa, Oct 1S.--Judge Gay
nor has filed his decision in the matter
of the preferred creditors of the late
Sheldon bank. The judge has had the
matter under adyisement for nearly a
year. He holds that the book depos-
itors. that is, those who had money
on deposit subject to check, the GER
tiffcate holders, both demand and time
certifica ties, and those holding them
are preferred creditors under the stat
ute and must be paid in full first, and
all others are general creditors and
cannot be paid until the ones preferred
by law are paid first.
This holding shuts out a large
amount of claims Of persons and banks
who held security in the form of GER
tificates as collateral security for adj
vances and loans made the bank under
various forms and conditions Of in
debtedness. limo appeal from this or
der is taken, there Is enough money on
hand to pay dividend to the preferred
creditors of 45 per cent. 1t. is now be-
lieyed that the bank will eventually
pay out from 65 to 20 per cent.
The trial of Ed. c. Brown, president
and cashier of the bank, was set down
for trial today and will no doubt last
almost the entire term of court, as the
evidence must be taken from the books
of the bank running over a period of
several years, and is in its very ma
ture tedious and voluminous. Joe Nor
ton, county attorney of O'Brien county,
and A. C. Whitney county attorney Of
Woodbury. county, are prosecuting for
the state, while w. d. Boies, of Shell
don, Major P. r Bailey, of Primghar,
and j. M. Parsons, of Rock Rapids, are
defending Mr.. Brown. The case will
be the most interesting of any crimin-
al case ever tried in the county, owing
to the prominence of Mr. Brown and
his long residence in the county. He
was one of the earliest homestead
settlers in the county, and for thirty
years has been in the banking BUSH

CURL IS DEFEATED
His Announced Opposition to a State

Special to Times-Republican.
Bloomfield, Oct. s1s.-Curl, the re-
publican candidate for representative
to fill the vacancy caused by the death
special election held yesterday, De-
Mar, the democratic candidate, winning
by a margin of probably 500 votes.
The vote was rather light, muddy roads
keeping many at home. DeMars vote
was 1898 and Curtis 1884. The personal
popularity of the democratic candidate
coupled with the fact that Curl, repub-
lican, openly announced his opposition
to a state primary law, are thought to
be the principal causes of Curtis defeat.

AT INAUGURATION YESTERDAY PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT WORE BY REQUEST UNIQUE EMBLEM PRESENTED BY JOHN HAY.

Washington, March 4-On the third fin- ger of President Roosevelts left hand dur ing the inaugural ceremonies was heav- fly embossed gold steel ring. The ring was a present to MT. Roosevelt this morning from Secretary of State John Hay. Instead of a seal on the oval flat face of the ring Is a receptacle with a glass face. Under the glass is a lock of hair cut from the head of Abraham Lin coin just after his assassination and be- fore his death. While in his room and waiting for the ceremonies in the senate chamber to begin, President Roosevelt called attention to the ring. Secretary Hay, he said had given 1t to him with the expressed wish that 1t should be worn during the inauguration.
 T am very happy to wear it. added the President, "and shall always value 1t very highly"
 The ring is like in pattern to one which MT. Roosevelt wears on the little finger of the same hand.

 Tt does not make any difference what the department of commerce and labor does, we will go on and conduct our in- vestigation as intended. MT.

RACE WAR IS ON
 IN SENAT0B|A Hundreds of Shots Are Fired
 in Mississippi Town NEGRO STRUCK WHITE MAN This Started Trouble, In Which Posse of White Men Joined, Determined to Capture the Ringleaders
 of the Negro Gang.

Memphis, Tenn, March 5.-A Conner clal-Appeal dispatch from Senatobia, Miss, says
 By striking a white man with a pair of brass knucks. Jim Tate, negro, has pre- cipitated race war here tonight. which is assuming serious proportions. Fifteen shots have been fired by Arch Bruce, col ored, into a gang of white men who vis- tied his house to capture Tate. The white men scattered, and it is thought some of them were hit. Another posse is forming, and it is expected a riot will en- sue.
 The trouble started early in the evening, when Tate called Bosto Hyde, young white man, a clerk at c. c. Perkins store. and struck him a terrible blow in the face with pair of brass kuncks, breaking his nose. Hyde was knocked down, but immediately regained his feet and, drawing his pistol, fired at the negro, the bullet taking effect, Tate continued to run. and crowd of white men headed by Hyde's brother pursued him into the other negro's house.
 On the way they attacked several ne- groes and Tate was finally located in a cabin owned by Arch Bruce. The demand of the white men that Tate be given up was met with curses and shots
 There has been much lawlessness among a certain element of the negro pop ulation of Senatobia and number of white men have attempted to clean out the Pingleaders of the blacks.
 long distance telephone message from Senatobia says that at 1 o'clock this morning battle between four negroes concealed in Arch Bruce's house and a score or more of white men surrounding the cabin has been waging, hundreds of shots having been fired, and several cas- ualties have occurred. Jim Tate, Brue and two other negroes who have barricad- ed themselves in the cabin are well armed and are firing through the windows.

lot" Again when one of the Pennsyl- yania bands played 'There Will Be a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight" the President swung himself from side to side in cononance with the music, and he remarked as he glanced down the line of Pennsylvanians coming: Here Is some of that half million majority"
 When the notorious Chief Geronimo, to- gether with other Indian chiefs. passed at the head of a battalion of cadets from the Carlisle Indian school the Presidents comment was: This is an admirable contrast; first the chiefs in their native costumes and then these boys from Carlisle"
 The stand shook with applause as Gen. O. O. Howard with his bridle reins in his teeth. his right arm gone, and saluting with his left, rode by at the head of hls division of the parade. The President waved his hat enthusiastically and the distingushed warrior acknowledged the compliment with evident pleasure.
 A few minutes later when General Joe" Wheeler, the great cavalry leader of the Confederacy passed, he too re- ceived cordial greeting, the President clapping his own hands and shaking them enthusiastically at General Wheeler.
 Then came Seth Bullock and his bunch of cowpunchers. All of them know the President personally and as they passed the stnd they shouted to him. waved their hats and cheered like wild men,
 After the parade the President re- ceived and shook hands with the cow boys He also gave an informal recep- ton to the delegation of Harvard stu dents in caps and gowns.
 The parade was finished at 6:13 o'clock and the President and party returned immediately to the White House.
