Special to Times Republican.
Iowa City. Dec. 1S-The hotly con-
tested suit of Aughey vs. Windrom and
Doty has resulted in a verdict by the
jury i'm favor of the plaintiff and in
the lower court at least Mrs. Aughey
RECEIVERS possession of $500 paid by her
to W1ndrom for certain property with
the understanding that Windrom would
resign as the guardian of Miss
Aughey's nephew. The case has at
tracted great deal of attention here
on account of the prominence of the
parties Windrom and Miss Aughey
made an agreement whereby Windrom
was to resign as the guardian of Miss
Aughey's nephew in case Miss Aughey
would purchase Windrom's hotel prop
erty in Oxford for $4,000. Inasmulch
as the contract was an illegal one.
Judge Byington promptly removed Win
drom from the guardianship and Miss
Aughey sought to recover the $500
she had paid as advance money on the
property, which competent evidence
stated was not worth $780, Wind
rom's attorneys argued that the resig-
nation of Windrom was not the consid-
Grafton for the purchase of the hotel.
Judge Byington ruled otherwise and
the jury promptly gave Miss Aughey
the verdict for the full amount The
case will be appealed to the supreme
court

! Nevada, Dec. 1S.-lThe officials of
the Des Mosnes, Iowa Falls & Northern
Railway are making an investigation
with view of prosecuting certain par
ties who have been working their
trafnmen for rides during the summer
and winter. from Des Moines north, by
representing that they were going to
work of the northern extension of that
road, under the Ely contracting fl M.
Parties at Nevada, Cambridge, Nc
Callsburg, Iowa Falls and Des Moines
are said to be implicated and the COM
pany already has the names of quite q
number of them. The Elzys advertise
ed for men in the Des Moines papers,
Offering free transportation from Des
Moines to Iowa Falls, with instructions
to apply to the company's trainmen for
transportation. So many laborers, or
alleged laborers took advantage of he
offer that the matter was called to the
attention of Mr.. Ely and canvass of
the situation showed that ten men Wee
being transported where one applied on
the works for work.
The company officials then started
the investigation and have secured the
names of several parties who would
ship out of Des ,Moines and get off at
any station to which they had mind
to ride. regardless of the representa-
tions under which they had secured the
ride.
The dirt work on the construction OF
the northern extension of the Des
Moines, Iowa Falls & Northern RAD
way, from Iowa Falls north to Hamp-
ton, is now completed. Further work
is delayed, however, because of the IN
ability OF the company to secure bridge
timhers, with which to complete the
bridges. Some of the heavier timbers
have been in transit for several monsas
and they are unable to get any track OF
them. Owing to this delay it will nos
be probable that the company will get
to running trains into Hampton In time
to secure the tax voted them.

GAS KILLS TWO
Broken Pipe in Kitchen Of Des Moines
Homo Results Fatally to Man and
Woman-Believed to Have Been an
Accident.
Special to Tlmes-republlcan.

| Special to Times Republican.
| Des Moines, Dec. 1S.-What was at
| first thought to have been double
suicide has been pronounced by Coroner
| Beck as an accident. Cold in death on
the floor of a kitchen foul with escap-
| ing gas, and a partially emptied jug
of whisky standing nearby, the bodies
| of Mrs. leila Drake and j. p. Van
Hynert We're found in the rooms Of the
former over the Eagle saloon 116
Fourth street, at noon yesterday.
George Drake, Mrs. brakes son, dis
covered the tragedy when he came
home to lunch, and he carried the body
Of his mother Into another room before
the police arrived. He later confessed
to attempting to hide his mothers
shame. Mrs. Drake was AZ years of
age, while Van Hymert is but % years
old. He is an employe in the offices of
Iiebbe, Nourse & Rasmussen, archi-
tects, and is a son of G. I. Van Hymert,
l13S West Ninth street. Mrs. Drake
is well known to the police as the pro-
prietreSs of a disorderly house.
1T is unquestionably an accident"
said Coroner Beck yesterday, after the
bodies had been taken to Harbach's un-
dertaking rooms. There is no evidence
of any kind that would give color to
suicide theory"
The police believe that the man and
woman had spent the greater part of
the morning together, drinking in the
back room. The cock on the gas stove
had been turned and it was from this
that the gas escaped in a great volume,
probably overcoming the pair before
they were able to escape from the ROOM
When George Drake came home and
discovered the tragedy, he turned off
the gas and attempted to air out the
rooms Van Hyunert was lying close
to the stove with his elbow near the
stop cock, while the woman, her face
horribly distorted, was doubled up a
few feet away. 1t is believed that she
realized the danger and started to run
out of the room, but succumbed to
weakness
