HUNT FOR THE MONEY.
Peculiar Developments In the Stan
ley Bankruptcy Case.

The case of John Stanley, an Iowa
Central fireman, was heard in the
bankruptcy court IN this city before
Commissioner /. C. Johnson, Friday
and the applicant was examined. J.
w. Clendenon, of Monmouth. repre-
sented the creditors OF that place
]. G. Patterson, of this city. was ap'
pointed trustee in the case and a
further hearing will be had.
The evidence in the case disclosed
the fact that Stanley had been in
jured at Peoria and he instituted suit
against the Stock Yards Company OF
Peoria for forty thousand dollars.
Stanley settled with the company
without the knowledge or consent OF
his attorneys, receiving $4,000. This
sum Stanley claims to have spent
since October, 1906, no part of the
sum now remaining. IL Ia charged
that the bankrupt invested the money
in home in Monmouth for his par
ents, AMI the creditors seek to pro-
cure evidence to substantiate the
claim ami institute suit to recover
the property as an asset against the
FIVE thousand dollars listed liabilities.

ing placed in commission, her full
power steam trial in the roadstead. A
technical naval committee was on

as the boat was returning to her an
chorage a safety tube forming part Of
the evaporation. apparatus burst, and
q mass of fame was forced into the
stoke-hole where the engineer, quar-
termaster and nine stokers were at
work. The engineer and eight Of the
stokers were instantly burned to
death. Their bodies were practically
reduced to cinders. The other stoker
was severely injured.

new year with a thriving business.

with ]. ]. Snyder as manager, has op.
ened an office in the city on First

Place" Mr.. Snyder can supply all
local clubs and billiard and pool hall
men with billiard cloths, chalk, cue
tips, pool pockets, cues, cue racks.
and all manner of billiard table sup.
plies at rates far cheaper than they
can send out Of town to secure them.

neighboring towns. Help along the

News Picked Up at Depot, Siding and
Round House.

A number Of Iowa Central boys are
feeling good today In the fact that
they have been "set up" Examina-
tons have been successfully passed
and promotion comes along with the
increased wages that the new posi-
tons bring. George w. Walker is
made a conductor. J. S. Gibbons and
Chas. e. Gillander are set up from
firemen to be engineers. II. z. Ma
son, formerly conductor with the
Iowa Central, has returned to the SER
vice OF the road and viii reside In
Oskaloosa. Mr.. Mason has been run
ming out of Marshalltown on the
Great Western, but has accepted a
position with the Central and will re-
turn to Oskaloosa in the near future.
There are today travelling the state
Of Iowa 500 passenger trains in ev-
cry "a hours. No other state in the
union is so well supplied with rail-
road facilities. There are three states
with a greater aggregate mileage,
but no state wherein the train ser
vice, the frequency of mail and other
facilities generally in proportion to
area and population, equal those of
Iowa. Upon the main lines running
east and west across the state there
are 43 regular trains daily. 1t Is
doubtful If their is any community,
no matter how small, or hardly any
individual farmer more than is miles
from a railroad station in Iowa.
It is interesting TO learn from the
figures and tables just published by
leading organ Of the railroad indus
try that the car and locomotive out
put for the year just past has been
far in excess of that of any previous
year. There seems, in fact, to have
been a phenomenal output of cars
and engines. Returns from practic-
ally all the car building companies Of
North America show that 243,670 rail-
road cars were built during the year.
In addition to this the railroads have
built large number of cars in their
own shops. The increase over the
output OF 1905. which was record
breaking, is estimated at As per cent.
In the locomotive output the increase
was over q per cent over the total
for the preceding year. With regard
to new lines and tracks, official re-
turns show the addition of approx
mately $500 miles of railroad line to
our track mileage. These figures do
not include second, third or fourth
track, sidings or electric lines. The
increase In the total over the previ-
GUS calendar year is 1,240 miles, or
about % per cent. New main track
mileage is reported in forty-two
states and territories, Texas heading
the list with 635 miles. Illinois and
Oklahoma have added less new mile
age than during 1905, but the South
and the Northwest did much better
last year than in 1905.

apshot OF the whole thing was that

More of Thaw's Letters.
The day began with continuance
OF the reading of the letters from
Harry Thaw to Mr.. Longfellow, writ.
ten after Evelyn Nesbit's revelations
to her sutton in Paris. There were
others, too, which Thaw had sent the
attorney to deliver to Miss Nesbit,
who, at the time, would not see him.
Mrs. Thaw followed these with re-
lation Of her experiences with Stan
ford White and Hummel concerning
the alleged affidavit which she made
charging Harry Thaw with having
taken her from her mother against
her viii, and with gross cruelty. Mrs.
Thaw told how she had been induced
to answer some questions about her
self and Mr.. Thaw at the time, and
had been told the stories about his
"cruelties to girls" Stanford White
had told her, she declared, that 1t was
necessary to take drastic measures to
protect her from such a person and
that Harry Thaw must be kept out Of
New York.
She denied that she had ever signed
any papers in Mr.. Hummeps office, but
said she remembered having signed
some papers for Mr.. White in "his Of
fee" the contents of which she did
not know. When she got frightened
about the papers and demanded to see
them she said Mr.. White took her to
Hummels office and there they burned
q paper which had her name at the
bottom Of it. She was hot allowed
to see what the paper contained be-
fore it was destroyed.
Effort to introduce Wills.
The defense endeavored to get into
evidence Friday the wills of Harry
Thaw and Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, exc
cuted the night Of their wedding. in
PHtsburg. There were so many inter
additions and erasures that
Justice Fitzgerald held the documents
were not admissible until the changes
were proved. Mr.. Delmas said he
would later endeavor to do this, as the
wills and the interlineations and a
codicil by Harry Thaw had to do with
the proof tending to show the insan-
ity of the defendant 1t came out in
the discussion of the wills that the
name of Stanford White occurred in
Thaw's testament.
Mr.. Hartridge, Of Thaw's counsel,
said after. court adjourned Friday that
Mrs. Thaw would go on with her d.
rect examination Monday morning
Just what will be the nature Of Dis
trict Attorney Jerome's cross-examina-
ton when he takes the witness is
mere conjecture. It is said he may
try in some way to attack her credi-
bility, probably as to her ability to re-
other things as well as she
has the stories she has declared she
has told Harry Thaw from time to
time.
