spectaY 10 Times-Republican

Nevada, May 23.--While his friends
and business associates at Stanhope
were worrying about his whereabouts,
and the press of the state was heralding
the fact that he was one OF the victims
of Mrs. Guinness, at her LaPorte muir
der farm" Dr. Dresser, an eccentric
physician of Stanhope, a little town up
in Hamilton county, was quietly WOO
ing we'll known widow of Colo.
The doctor appeared at Colo some
time ago, and was making an investi-
cation. 90 he stated, with view OF
locating. He became acquainted with
the lady, and at once started an ardent
courtship. This progressed to the
stage where he proposed marriage The
widow failed to see the fiowery SIDE
Of the proposition, however, and the
offer was rejected.
1t was then that the doctor realized
that he did not care to locate in colo
anyhow, and he left shortly before the
murder farm story showed up, ana
told some one that he was going to In
diana to marry woman whom he had
had some correspondence. Nothing fur
Their was heard from him and 1t was
at once concluded that he was Gun
ness victim. and that his remains were
to be found upon the notorious ceme-
terry.
Had this story not gained circulation
over the state. few people would have
thought anything Of his presence in
Colo, but as. it was, the usually quiet
little village feels that 1t has recently
entertained a guest of considerable In
terest. The doctor was a quiet, unas-
Stunning man, attended strictly to his
own business. and showed few of the
eccent-icities reported from his form
er places of residence.

circumstantial Evidence Against
George Collins, Old Man, is Strong.
Special to Times Republican.
vinton, May 23.-George Collins. the
alleged horse thief who took the Iowa
Canning Company's team from here
last fall, and who was arrested at
Waterloo last week, was UP in Justice
Bryant's court for his preliminary
hearing, and after the introduction OF
thirty-five witnesses by the state the
prisoner was bound over to the grand
jury OF the next term Of court. Tho
a great number Of witnesses were
brought in by the prosecution, the de-
Tense did not offer any at this time,
in rebuttal.
To look at the old man, with his
long gray beard and ministerial bear
ing, as he sat quietly behind his at
torneys, advising them from time to
tfrne, with his good face and kindly
smile, one would never have guessed
that he was defendant to the charge
Of stealing horses. In appearance he
was far beyond suspicion, but the tes-
tirnony brought out against him was
circumstantial and badly damaging. :

Des Moines, May pa jury in Judge
Miller's court declared that L. Hamil-
ton was insane when he made his last
will and testament, and as result
three charitable organizations and the
state historical department will be de-

brought the suit. The case had been
on trial nearly a week.
The cottage hospital of Des Moines,
the Des Moines Home for Friendless
Children and the Associated Charities
will lose $4,000 because of the ver-
dict, and the state $4,000, which 1t
claimed is the value of a museum be-
aueathed to the historical department
by Mr. Hamilton. During his life time
Mr.. Hamilton was considered an &C.
centric but perfectly rational man, but
the provisions Of his will were so
startling that the question Of his san.
ity was started at once. He forgot his
relatives, and gave the majority Of his
estate to charity. The entire $4,000
will be divided among second cousins.
