After being under arrest m No gales. Sonora, for about two weeks, the mule supposed to be the one stolen from Bower Brothers ranch proved an aIibi and has been re- leased The animal tallied in ever, respect but one with the des- cription furnished the officers when the case was first given them, but the brands. furnished last week. caused the release of the mule. Three brands were on the animal stolen and two of the three were on the mule held by the authorities, but the third, the hold ing brand, could not be found on the clothes worn by the mule under suspicion. The animal de- murred to further imprisonment on the ground that he could not be legally held without holding brand. The absence of the hold ing brand was accepted as con. elusive proof that be was not at Bower Brothers ranch the night their mule was stolen. Justice of the Peace Gildea, who superin- tended the inspection, upheld the demurrer and ordered the sherlif to leave the mule in Mexico.

Independence, Nov. 29.-The officers
are much puzzled by the case of Nc
Williams, who is accused of murder
ing his wife and five children. Attic
they are quite positive that McWil-
liams committed the crime, they have
thus far been able to secure not sin
gle sentence which could be construed
as an admission Of guilt.
His case is remarkable in view of the
fact that the coroner's jury has laid
the crime at his door and the special
grand jury is almost sure to find an
indictment charging murder in the
first degree. In spite of his seeming
Indifference. it is believed that Nc
Williams is having the fight of his life
with his conscience and that he is
weakening. 1t is believed he will
eventually break down and tell al.
about the horrible crime. Last night
the coroner and county attorney were
closeted with McWilliams for long
time in his cell. But they were unable
to obtain any light on the murder of
his family, the prisoner maintaining
his studied Indifference throughout the
ordeal. His present attitude seems to
be in strange contrast to his character.
1t may not be generally known by
the public at large but w. F. McWil-
liams has always been deeply religious.
His home has been the home of a man
who feared God and intended to do
right by his fellowmen. He said grace
before meals and had family prayers.
He was regular attendant upon
church services and member of the
Methodist church in good standing for
many years. He never INDUCED in
profanity or obscenity. He was care
full not to talk about his neighhors.
In short before this tragedy obtrIded
it's. hideousness to the puolic gaze, he
was considered an honest, hard work
ing, inoffensive man, deeply interested
in religion and in religious w.,.k.

rules and rates Of these boards are
enforced with rightly. Before the i'm
junction was issued the insurance COM
psnies tried to enforce rates by hav-
ing Bennett issue a book Of rates. He
sold the book to agents but under that
arrangement the insurance companies
cannot take an agency away from a
man and hence the force and effect Of
rate making is broken. 1t is believed
that the desire of the agents to es-
cape the board will of itself defeat all
efforts at fixing rates now that the
law is upheld.
1t is learned that some who are
friendly to the idea of commission
for this city have taken the matter
Tip with members of the legislature by
correspondence and are endeavoring to
arrange to have introduced early in
the coming session bill granting this
city special charter and giving it
authority to Introduce the commission
system of government. This fact has
become known at the city hall here and
it Is having an effect there among the
politicians. They are beginning to sit
up and take notice and are figuring
out where they will land if the COM
mission cyclone strikes the city. 1t
will undoubtedly mean a new align
ment politically. The politicians who
make business of politics and make
their living in public office are some
what perturbed over the possibility OF
the bill passing. If it passes early in
the session and is put into effect i'm
mediately it may mean that the system
will go into effect next spring. This
hardly seems likely but to the heated
imagination OF politician in fear of
losing his job all things are possible.
1t seems to be in the air about this
city that the movement for a COM
mission is a strong one and likely to
win

Schleswig, Nov. 29.-Upon returning
yesterday from his visit in the south
for the past two weeks, f. W. Gigax,
of this town, brought large gray wolf
along, which he thought to be tame.
A few minutes before the train pulled
in, large crowd had gathered to wit
ness the arrival of the wolf, but when
IT was taken out of the car 1t was seen
to be one Of the most dangerous brutes
that was ever shipped to this point, and
while on the depot platform, it growled
and snapped viciously at everyone that
yentured to come near. While in this
furious rage, the sides Of the box seem
ed to become weakened and loosened
under the strength of the wild creature
It seemed that q calamity was newt
able, but it was barely checked in time
by the immediate hard work and dan
gerous task of bringing the wolf UP
under guard and installing the same in
large iron cage in the office of the
Stewart Lumber Company.
A large engine and saving apparatus
was unloaded here yesterday. which is

Fort Dodge. Nov. 29.-The famous
Meloy insurance case was turned over
| to the jury Tuesday afternoon, after
nearly weeks trial. The case has
excited attention over the entire state
because of the point it involves.
The Furlong and Meloy dry goods
stock was practically ruined in fire
here year ago in December. The
| twelve insurance companies, in which
the firm had policies refused to pay
more than one-half the amount claim
F. ed by the proprietors, which was s24.-
OOO.
The books of the firm did not show
the entire stock and the insurance
companies wished to settle for the
amount of goods shown on the books.
This the firm refused to do, and suit.
was brought against the twelve COM
panies. The policy in the North Brit
ish Mercantile and Insurance company
was brought first as test case.
The plaintiff in this suit took the
remnants of the stock into the court
room, as evidence. The remnants
showed that the stock in certain lines
was valued at over $4,000 more than
the insurance company wished to al
low, and had made sworn statements
to-
The closing arguments of the law
yers was heard all day Tuesday, the,
argument of Senator Thomas d. He.aly
for the plaintiff alone lasting over six
hours In his argument he proved
that the insurance company adjusters
had sworn to an amount, much less
than they knew to be invested in the
stock, besides the amount OF goods de-
stroyed absolutely by fire.
In the arguments of Senator Healy,
the latter became personal in his re-
marks concerning the opposing attor-
neys, and for a short time It looked as
though the combat would be serious.
At one time Maurice O'Connor for the
defendants manager, arose from his
chair and denied a statement made by
the senator.
The suit has been one Of the hardest
fought battles that has ever taken
place in a court of this city.
The jury in the Meley case returned
this morning, after being out twelve
hours. The sum of $1,S65 was awarded
Meley, ON a test suit for $2,041. Eleven
more cases are to be tried. The ratio
will give Meley over $4,000. The ver-
dict is favorable to the plaintiff.
