More romantic than fiction itself,
Is thA story Of r. e. Lyon a former

In April 1865, who was reported killed

Mr.. Lyon as he was member of Com

Yesterday F. M. Lyon, 412 Webster

who for 80 many years has been sup.
posed dead, which letter is the first
communication that has been received
In this city from him since he left with
party of friends for the west, years
ago, in 1865.
Young Lyon after bis return from
the civil war was filled with the spirit
of adventure and decided to go west
and seek his fortune there. Together

Agency, the starting point in April
1865. Several months later, F. NJ.
Lyons says, one of the party returned
and reported that all of his comrades
had been killed by the Indians on the
western plains. AS Mr.. Lyons was on
ly "a young lad at that time being but
about Ia years of age. he does not re-
member who the supposed survivor of
the Agency party was.
From that time until January of this
year, no word was ever received by any
Of the adventurer's relatives as to his
whereabouts, and all of them thought
him dead. Last January, his brother,
T. D. Lyon of Colfax, father of the
Ottumwa man, received a letter from
Lyon, stating that he was alive and
well, and was employed as janitor in
the Montana Soldiers home. Mr.. Lyon
wrote to his son in this city telling
him that he had heard from the mem
Der Of the family who had long been
thought to be dead, and asked him to
write 10 Montann. Mr.. Lyon wrote
as requested and yesterday received a
letter from his uncle, the first COM
munlcation received in this CITY from
r. r. Lyon in almost forty-two years.

London. Fob, 21.--The Rotter-
dam mail steamer Berlin, from
England. with 141 passengers and
crew, was wrecked off Hook of
Holland at the entrance of the
river Mas. leading to Rotterdam,
shortly before s o'clock this morn
ing, and with one exception all
on board perished. A terrific
southwesterly gale, blowing right
IN shore. drove the steamer in
sanibank close to the northern
lefty as she was trying to enter
the new waterway.
The heavy seas quickly pounded
the vessel to pieces. She broke in
two. the fore part sinking imme,
diately while the doomed pas
sengers and crew could be seen
for a brief space of time clustered
on the after part, Then the after
part slipped off the ledge and dis
appeared in mountainous waves.
The tugs and lifeboats were
promptly put out to the assistance
of the Berlin but the violence of
the gale made 1t impossible TO
approach the wreck and the help
less would-be life savers saw the
steamer break up. and the crew
and passengers washed away
without being able to render the
! slightest assistance.
One man, an EngHshman is saved
Already twenty-five bodies have beer
washed ashore. The agents of the
vessel at Rotterdam, while not posi-
tive, helieve the Berlin CARVED l2(
passengers and a crew of sixty.
Prominent People Lost.
LONDON Feb. 21.-Among those
drowned are nineteen members Of the
chorus OF German Opera Compan,
who had just concluded a season a
Coyent Gardens. Arthur Herbert, one
of the kings messengers who was
iourneying to the continent is also
lost.
1t is said there were more first class
than second class passengers aboard
the vessel, most of them being com
mercial men or persons having pro
fessional or business engagements OF
the continent, or else Inhabitants o
the continent returning home from
business trips to Great Britain.
Much difficulty Is being experienced
in obtaining the names Of the passen
gers. The members of the crew are
mostly Englishmen from Herwich.

Hook of Holland "Noon'-The after
part Of the wrecked steamer Berlin
did not slip into deep water as at frs
reported, but seems to be firmly Inn
bedded in a sand bank. There are
still a few persons on board, elingins

may be possible to effect their reseu.
at low tide. During the high watel

comes Legali1ed
Des Moines Bureau Of
The Ottumwa Courier
Des Moines Feb. q.

DeS MONIES, req. II.
II Iowa forces a 2-cent rate on the
railroads 1t will be taken into the
courts and the plea made that the rate
is confisoatory and unremunerative,
and the railroads will resist the rate
to the end. If III cent rate is made
legal 1t will be accepted.
4 This is the situation as 1t has been
laid down to the legislators. When
the senate committee met at 3 p. m.
yesterday there was laid before the
committee written plea for few
days delay. signed by the representa-
tives of the Northwestern. the Milwau-
kee, the Burlington and the Rock Is
land railroads, which written state,
ment set forth in clear terms some
good reasons why delay should be
granted. The Wisconsin railroad COM
mission finding as to rates was cited.
In Wisconsin the question as to what
rs fair rate was submitted in good
faith to the commission and that COM
mission, after months Of investiga-
ton. reached the conclusion that a
10 cent rate Is as low as should be
made. and definitely declared that in
their opinion 2-cent rate would be
confiscatory. Now if the railroads in
Iowa should accept a 2-cent rate under
the proposed law it would discredit
the report of the Wisconsin commits
sion and be decidedly embarrassing to
the railroads. 1t would therefore be
UP to the railroads to resist the pro-
posed Iowa rate and have it determin-
ed again whether the 2-cent rate is a
confiscatory one. The railroads could
not. il they could, escape from this
situation.
The committee was therefore asked
for few days delay. Mr. Davis stat
ed that there was one copy of the de-
cision in Wisconsin in the city and he
was going to Chicago last night and
would get sufficient number so there
would be one for each member Of the
committee, The decision and report
make a book Of considerable size.
The committee today reported for
passage the 2-cent bill with an amend
1nent permitting a 10 cent minimum
rate.

Harry Shuttlefeld, born in Wapello

his home north of this city Feb 10,
1907, at the age of "A years, II months

He leaves a mother, three sisters
and brother to mourn his loss. He

books to get the most from them. The
books are supplied by the commission
for only the express or freight charges
and thus there is put in the hands of
the people of the state access to an I'm.
limited supply of books.
1t Is understood that the railroad
commission will, if the legislature
makes the appropriation of $4,000
asked for, at once enter upon far
more extensive investigation Of freight
rates in Iowa than will be possible I'M
der existing conditions. The commits
sion gave notice that it would begin
this Investigation, but finds that with
the funds at it's command, not a great
amount of work can be done. The
railroads are urging the legislature
to pass UP most of the questions to
the commission for full investigation
and not to act hastily on anything.
Now the commission is willing to get
at the work, but desires sufficient funds
for the employment of competent help
and for other purposes. The further
argument on the application of the
Corn Belt Meat Packers will be re-
sumed March 6, then other matters
will be taken up.
A bill to prevent annoyance to the
victims of canvassers and smooth
tongued agents is before the senate,
fathered by Allen. 1t amends the law
as to contracts by adding ''any con-
tracts for the delivery of property or
the payment of money obtained by any
agent, canvasser or solicitor, for him
self, or any person or persons, firm or
corporation, shall. by It's terms, state
such fact. and shall be enforcible by
suit only in the county of the resi-
dence Of the debtor" That would cut
off a lot of business of questionable
character in Iowa.
A bill to give library boards the spe-
cific right to join in work with any
county or local historical society and
to appropriate money and to set aside
a room in any library building for col
lections of historical matters, is faith
cred by Senator Ericsson of Boone, to
whose liberality is due the Ericsson
library in that city. Senator Ericsson
says that while this is now in fact be-
ing done in many places, there is no
law for it.
A bill relative to support of teach
ers' institutes has been prepared by
Representative Harvey in the house.
1t would give 5000 to each teachers
institute instead of $50. 1t would also
relieve the teachers of some of the
fees which are now necessary to sum
port these teachers Institutes. The
teachers have discovered the state is
paying a great deal more for support
of farmers institutes and county fairs
than to help the teachers and they will
protest against the continuation of the
discrimination.

court room. Jerome wanted every
detail. Mrs. Thaw tearfully told
them all.
She said she had informed Thaw "
these EXPERIENCES with White but had
forgotten to relate them during her
direct examination. Toward the close
of the morning session there came
a great surprise when Delmas stated
that threats by the district attorney
to indict Mrs. Thaw had been over
heard in court. Jerome denied that
any such statement had been made in
court That was. as far as he would
go. Mrs. Thaw at this time had been
temporarily excused to allow Jerome
to question Attorney Hartridge regard
ing certain of Whites letters said to
be in his possession. Hartridge de-
clined to answer questions put to him
on the ground that he had been re-
tanned by Mrs. Thaw to protect her IN
terests.
New York, Feb. 21-There will be
no session of the Thaw trial tomorrow.
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw was called when
court opened lOQdy.
did you continue to believe all
women unchaste as White told you
until you talked with Thaw in Paris in
1902" asked Jerome, continuing his
cross examination.
Eyes sir, replied Mrs. Thaw meek
ly.
Jerome then questioned the witness
at length regarding her visits with
Thaw to the Dead rat" cafe in Paris,
endeavoring to show it to be a ques-
tionable resort; that there were
dances of suggestive character per-
formed and that many demi-modes
were present. Mrs. Thaw's recollec-
ton of the visit were very defective.
Her answer to most of the interroga-
tories being Il don't remember"
The Ti1aws in Tears.
Mrs. Thaw said that after her first
experience with White her relations
with him continued for a. long time.
Tears came into her eyes and her
voice trembled as jerome continued
to question her intimately about her
relations with White. One news
paper woman left the room. She said
the relations were continued against
her will. Then she cried bitterly.
Thaw hid his face in his hands as
Jerome bitterly attacked his wife.
Once Jerome offered to suspend for a
time. Delmas would not consent.
Thought Sin Only Bad Taste.
Jerome questioned the witness at
some length as to whether she be-
lieved before her talk with Thaw in
Paris, that meretricious relations be-
tween men and women were wrong.
She said she knew they were indeli-
cate, vulgar and in bad taste. but she
didn't fully recognize it as wrong until
she went to Paris.
Jerome asked the witness if it was
solely because of her occurrence with
White or because she had been found
out that she refused Thaw
st was both together" declared the
witness. when Thaw proposed II
was the first proposal ever had. 1t
all struck me very seriously. 1t all

The climax of sensationalism
seemed to have been reached in
the Thaw trial today when Dist
riot Attorney jerome continued
to lash Evelyn Nesbit Thaw in
pitfless cross examination. No Sc
cret of the woman's past was too
intimate for the district attorney
to make her lay it bare.
He made her admit, with tears
streaming down her cheeks, that
her relations with White continued
for several months after the first
event, when she claimed she had
been drugged. Mrs. Thaw declar-
ed in every instance that she had
been piled with wine.
AS the district attorney barred
her relations with White, Mrs.
Thaw wept bitterly. Thaw sat
with his face buried in his hands.
