ecial to Times-Republican.


Tabor. Feb. 19.-One Of the most re-
markable tales of modern times--and
one which will be read with avidity by
persons at all conversant with the early
day history of this county, is unfold
ed in a recent decision of the United
States court of claims, by which de-
cison five people of Mills county,
Iowa, will come into possession of a
sum of money which has been tied up
in the United States treasury for the
past hundred years or more.
Forefather a Ship Owner.
In the year 1899 Joshua Cox, great
grandfather of the people now living,
and personally interested in this mar
vessel, part of the American mer-
chant marine. That year during the
administration of George Washington
as president-the vessel was captured
by the French ship Victory off the
Bermuda Islands, and was subsequent
ly confiscated by the French govern
ment MIR. Cox. the owner, was then
living at Portland Maine.
Claims Handed Down.
Before a proper claim could be filed
with the government for the loss of
his property, a fire, which consumed
their home, destroyed all the necessary
documents except one important pa
per. This was filed with the govern
<~fx tl,> INr< II
government paid an indemnity to the
United States for the loss of the mer-
chant vessel.
Administrations came and went, but
the family failed in their repeated at
tempts to get settlement, until 1t
came to be family heirloom and the
basis and foundation for many a
legendary story which was told about
the family fires. AS one head of the
family died the claim would fall to his
successor in line, who would just as
vigorously renew the efforts to secure
a settlement, failing in which the mat
ter would be allowed to lapse for a
time.
Is Finally Adjudicated.
But like all things, there came an
end to the struggles of the family for
recognition, and Congressman Smith
has forwarded the family notice of the
adjudication Of the matter, stating
that after the disposition of little
more red tape. vouchers and warrants
for the long due cash indemnity will
be paid over to THE rightful owners.
Names Of the Claimants.
The people who are to share in the
distribution of the money are William
Vinton and Mrs. John Barbour, of
Pacific City; Sam Vinton, of Malvern;
Mrs James Greig, of Hastings and
Charles Vinton, of Henderson, all sis
tiers and brothers. A sixth sister, who
will also receive her share, lives in
Baltimore. James Greig, of Hastings,
one of those named, has the honor and
distinction of being the present and
successful administrator of the estate,
one which has been handed down from
family to family since the year 1893.
The exact amount that will be paid to
them is not known but is estimated at
81, 500 each. The case is one illustrat-

GAMBLING WITH DEATH.
What Many of Us Are Doing Three
Times a Day.

Times Day.
For everything we get something IS
taken away. Every act pulls two
ways. Some men in power dole out
their souls for 1t. They can't have soul
and power at the same time.
And so, in this quick-livng age,
most Of us can't have energy and
health at the same time. One or the
other must be lost, and 1t is usually
health.
We know we are doing wrong and
would like to reform, but we have a
morbid fear of being laughed at If we
aim to live and eat according to con-
science and good sense.
Some of us break away for awhile
and enslave ourselves to diet. We
read about the hardy Scotsman being
fed on porridge and oatcake. making
soldiers of muscle and dash. and how
Caesars army was fed on corn. But

swing back into the great line. eating

Remsen, Feb. 1.-THE body Of Hans
Back, farm hand about 60 years old,
was found by hunters Thursday, fro
zen thru and thru, at straw stack on
the Adolph Yaackes farm, three miles
southeast of this place. Back was in
Remsen last Monday and was drinking
freely. He made for the Yaacks farm
where he was employed about 10
o'clock p. M, carrying a supply Of
liquor in two jugs. The superstition is
that, knowing Mr.. Yaacks would not
allow him to have liquor in the house,
he undertook to hide it in the straw
stack, and in this work he fell asleep
to wake no more. He leaves no fam
lily, but wealthy brother residing in
