NO APPEAL OF GAIT CASE.
Mrs. Carrie Lane Gait FulfiIls Hus-
bands Wishes With $4,000 Trust

IS Deed.
Special to Times Republican.
An1es, April 20.-Altho the late
George w. Gait, engineer of New York
City, sought in vain to bequeath his
property directly to his alma mate,
Iowa State College, his widow. Mrs.
Carrie Lane Gait. has filed trust deed
conveying to the college about $4,000
worth cs real estate, in satisfaction OF
the spirit of the will.
In view OF this action by Mrs. Gait,
Attorney GeneraSC5ers will not appeal
the case in New York, in which she
courts held that the bequest to five
Iowa State College was without force
and effect for the reason that the col
lege was a part of the state, had no
entity of its own, in fact, and could
not receive a gift
1t has been expected by the friends
of the Institution that Mrs. Gait, who
is an Iowa woman, would see that the
intention of her husbands will would
be carried out, and while the receipt
of the bequest would have been ex-
tremely gratifying, the trust deed filed
by Mrs. Gait achieves the same end.
4 1t was the purpose Of Mr.. Gait to
provide for scholarships of 500 each
for tthe benefit of INDECENT boys and
girls turnout the state. 1t was esti-
mated that the property he attempted
to leave to the college was worth
about $4,000 1t now is said that the
property covered by the trust deed
which saves the bequest to the college,
will amount to at least $4,000.
The case involving the construction
of the Gait will tried out in the az
pellate division of the supreme court
of the state of New York in February
of the year.

FIND BODY OF BABE
Fishermen Make a Gruesome
Discovery in the River at
Cedar Rapids
CHILD WAS TWO MONTHS OLD
Theory of Murder Is Held by Police,
Who Are Conducting an Investisa-
tion-Body Believed to Have Been
Thrown in River and Later Washed
Ashore-Had Been Dead Some Time.

Special to Times Republican.
Cedar Rapids, April 20.-The body Of
a 2-months' -old baby boy lying on its
back in the bushes about ten feet from
the river bank, was found by Frank
Stousac, r. Vobeja and M. Stanek
while fishing near the Sinclair Pack
ing company's plant.
From the outward appearance of the
body it is thought that the child had
been dead for about four weeks. Ihe
hair on the head was light in color,
and long enough for child at least
number of days Sold. and perhaps q
number of weeks.
Whether the body was thrown into
the rushes or was washed ashore by
the river when it receded this spring
has not been determined.
However,, the theory advanced by
Deputy Coroner King is that the body
was probably thrown into the river at
a point above the place where it was
found and that it was washed ashore.
The body was covered with mud,
and the mud around the body was hard
and showed no tracks Of any one hav-
ing been there. This fact would indl-
cate that the body was washed ashore
by the river. Whenever bodies have
been found in the river near the south
end Of town, they have insmost every
case been found near the east bank.
The police authorities have been no.
titled Of the finding of the body, and an
investigation will be made Immediately.
Upon the finding of the body 1t was
taken by Deputy Coroner King to the
undertaking parlors of John B. Turner
& Son. Coroner King will make a thor
ough examination to try and ascertain
just how the child came by it's death.
The coroner is of the opinion that the
child was thrown into the river from
one of the bridges in Cedar Rapids. II
it had been thrown in from some town
up the river the body would have been
bruised going over the dam, and while
in very bad condition, there were no
bruises about 1T.

Arlington, April 2O-While doing the
chores on his farm near here, Charles
Carnall, one of the Oldest and most
respected residents of this community
was shot by j. A. Gillard, who lives
on an adjoining farm, the latter owned
by Thomas Carnall. brother of the
man who was shot. The two men had
always been friendly during the time
Gillard had lived as u neighbor-about
a year-and on observing him Carnall
saluted him with:
Hello, hunting rabbits?' He noticed
Gillard carried double barrel shot
gun. Gillard exclaimed: You have
made enough trouble between your
brother and me- and in further an
swer leveled the gun at Carnall's stom-
ach. AS he did SO he pressed his finger
to the trigger. Carnall grabbed the
gun and threw it away, the charge
SCATTERING his right arm. Gillard shot
again, but the load went wild. Before
Carnall was shot he started to explain
that he had never made any trouble
between Gillard and his brother, but
on the contrary he had always spoken
well of his neighbor to his brother.
Surgeons were Immediately called
to the Carnall home He was weak
from the shock and loss of blood, and
1T was some time before he was in
condition to- have the arm amputated,
which was necessary, as it was shat
tered almost to an unrecognizable mass.
After the operation he rested easily,
but at last reports his chances for re-
coyery were doubtful.
Gillard Under Arrest.
Gillard walked over to his home.
where he was arrested and taken to
Arlington. He had his preliminary
examination before justice of the
peace. The county attorney made a
fight on the amount of bail. 1t was,
sought by the defense to make the bail
$4,000, but the county attorney sue
ceeded in having it placed at $1,000
Sheriff Culver was present and took the
man to West Union to await the action
Of the grand jury.
1t was, evidently Gillard's purpose
to kill Carnall when he went to the
latter's home. He went to the house
and on his rapping on the door, Mrs.
Carnall appeared and asked what she
could do for him. He inquired as to
the whereabouts of her husband and
without suspecting his intentions she
directed him to the barn.

Ninety potato planters have been
sold from this town SO far this spring.
Taking this number in addition to the
many that were in operation last year,

potatoes were shipped from this town
last year, and it looks as tho that
would be more than doubled this year.
If such be the case, a warehouse here

not room here to load fast enough on

without a warehouse.
