put up lively game. Of course we
want the home team to win, but should
victory rest with the Reno girls no

ers read for him. Hence it is not ex-
pected his speech will be Of as great
length as that of either Stone or La
Toilette. The Wisconsin senator will
not be permitted to speak again, as 1t
will be held he has already exhausted
his privileges under the rules of the
senate. 1t is predicted. therefore, that
the end of the filibuster will be reached
some time tonight.
At 1880, the senate, on motion by
Aldrich, recessed thirty minutes for
luncheon. While Aldrich stated that
his purpose was to allow the senators
time to take luncheon, it developed
later that the recess really was taken
at the Instance of democratic senators
who wanted an opportunity to try to
influence Stone to bring his speech to
a close.
The end of the filibuster in the SEN
ate is in sight. Gore will talk about
two hours, and will be followed by
Clay and Bacon, who will make brief
speeches. 1t is expected that vote
on the bill will be reached late this
afternoon, and it is hoped that final
adjournment will take place some time
tonight.

Farm Belonging to Lyle Was Sold on
Day Of Suicide.
special to Times-Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Newton. May 30.-An administrator
has been appointed to handle the estate
of the late George Lyle, wealthy re-
tired farmer who committed suicide
last June, and additional litigation has
been commenced by the heirs. Judge
Preston, at Oskaloosa, appointed w.
E. Denniston, a lumberman of this
place, after the widow and sons could
not agree Mrs. Lyle asked that Mayor
Cook be named and the other heirs
favored G. o. Edge Finally w. E. Den
niston was agreed to. Mr.. Denniston
filed a bond of $4,000, which covers
the personal property.
Following the verdict Of the court
several weeks ago in setting aside the
will of Lyle, on the ground that he was
of unsound mind, the son and grand
son of the deceased, who were cut off
in the will with $25 each, the balance
of the estate going to the widow, suit
has been commenced to secure a di-
vision of the estate. Mrs. Lyle was the
third wife Of Lyle. and the sons were
children by a former marriage. Since
the will was made one son, Fred, has
died, and his heir. Harold, becomes the
beneficiary with the wife and remain
ing son. The heirs are suing to have the
deed to the homestead in Newton,
which was given to the widow, set
aside, on the claim that undue infiu-
ence was used to secure its transfer.
The home is valued at $4,000. The $40
acre farm, which is valued at over
$4,000, is also in contest, and the son
and grandson are suing to have a
contract for its sale to A. n. Bergman
set aside Bergman contracted to buy
the farm for $4,000, but claimed he
was to have a discount from this price
and to pay $4,000. He made payments
by checks of $4,000 on the day that
LYLE killed himself, but the checks
were never cashed and were found on
Lyle's person. Mr.. Bergman, it is said,
has declared that he will not contest
the petition for the setting aside of the
contract.
Lyle was queer character, and was
said to have been addicted to the drug
habit. At one time he abandoned his
fine farm and for four years held
position as brakeman on the Rock ISL
and railroad. The widow will contest
strongly the setting aside of the deed
to the homestead.

AVENGES HER CHILD

Sends Criminal AssaiIant to His
Death-Po!ice Informed of Horrible
Plot to Force Money From WelI-to-
do Italians.
New York, May 3O.--With an infant
clutched to her breast, Mrs. Teresa
Felepia, of Brooklyn today meted out
summary vengeance upon the man
whom she declares she surprised in
the act of attempting an outrage upon
her 6-year-old daughter. The man was
with the Felepia family since his ar
rival in this country from Italy, four
months ago. Three bullets from the re-
volver which Mrs. Felepia carried in
her free hand, sent him to his death.
Mrs. Felepia told the police that Marc,
while living on the bounty of herself
and family, had conspired with two
other men to ruin their two daughters,
and thru the shame of the children to
extort money from the parents. The
other men named by Mrs. Felepia are
Dominica Francesca, aged IS and his
son, Gaetano, aged 81. The father and
son are now under $4,000 bail each, the
son as the principal, and the father as
an accomplice, on a charge preferred
by Mrs. Felepia's 12-year-old daugh-
ter, Giovanni.
It is alleged that Dominica induced
his son to assault Giovanni, in the
belief that her father, who is well-to-
doA would make money settlement
upon Gaetano, upon his agreement to
marry the girl. Yesterday the woman
said, her other daughter, Amelia, aged
6, came to her with a story that Marc
had sought to take improper liberties
with her. He made a complete denial
when the mother questioned him about
the story, and Mrs. Felepia said that
she decided to wait and, watch. Her
time came today, when she said that
Marc induced the child to accompany
him to a vacant lot near the Felepia
nome. A few minutes afterwards, Mrs
Felepia with the baby in her arms and
revolver concealed in the folds of her
dress, stole softly out to a point which
gave her a view of the lot She de-
clared that what she saw justified the
act which followed. The police believe
that the conspiracy against the F'elep1a
family is the outgrowth of systematic
7blackmailsng iof welleto-do, italians,
carried on by the Black Hand and
other associations of criminals.
