UNUSUAL SUIT IN
FEDERAL COURT
RICHARDS ESTATE SEEKING TO
COLLECT OLD CLAIM.
Principal Sum is 5000 and Ten Per
Cent Interest Has Been Pillng
Up For More Than
20 Years.

| Ottumwa, April 6.-An unusual suit
for the collection of principal sum
with accrued interest of over twenty
years standing OF nearly three times
the amount of the .original loan, oc-
cupied the attention of the federal
court for time yesterday afternoon.
The suit is the outgrowth of bank
ruptcy proceedings of James Harrison
of Oskaloosa in which he desired to
secure his final discharge sometime
ago and in which the court did not
concur at the time.
The case is that of William Rich
ards of San Jose, Cal, against James
Harrison of Oskaloosa for the recov.
cry of principal sum of $4,000, Dor
rowed from his father Seth Richards,
formerly owner of considerable prop
erty in Ottumwa, more than twenty
years ago, and the accrued interest
making a sum all told of about $4,000
McNett & McNett and Attorney Ches-
ter w. Whitmore, appeared for the
plaintiff and w. w. Heating of Oska-
loosa for the defendant.
Judge Appoints Commissioner.
The matter was finally settled when
Judge Smith Mcpherson appointed
Miss Laura Mytton, special commits
sioner to take the evidence at Oska-
loosa so as to be ready for submits
sion to the court at the next term in
Ottumwa.
1t was brought out in the argu-
ments that when James Harrison, a.
retired Congregational minister had
applied for a discharge in bankruptcy
that he had considerable money in
vested in store buildings of Oskaloosa,
owned by his wife. This plaintitt as
serts should be applied toward the
settling of the Richards claim which
was secured by judgment before Seth
Richards death, After the elder
Richards death the judgment was
turned over to William, the son. There
are two sisters of William who SHARED
in the Richards estate of several
hundred thousand dollars.
At the time the note was given in
terest at the rate of 10 per cent was
in force and the principal has been
drawing that interest ever since.

times during the months of November
and December. Wherefore 1he plain
tiff claims to have sustained damages
in the sum of $4,000.
The alleged circumstances set out
in this petition are the Outgrowth Of
incidents which led to the arrest OF
Cleve Widner here last year. He
claimed at that time to have d.scov.
cred his wife and another woman in
the opera house one evening together
with w. r. Barlow and the theatre
manager, George Clark Thinking
that Clark was with mis- wife, he laid
in hiding for him and one evening
struck Clark over the head with an
axe, inflicting serious wounds. When
arraigned in the district court under
an indictment he plead guilty to as.
sault and battery and paid his fine oil
500.

cumstances worked to the disadvan-
tage of the organizers. Many of the
men who are interested in the estab-
lishment of a branch of the Gideons
in Oskaloosa were unable to get home
for the evening or Sunday, and others
who were here for the occasion were
summoned elsewhere. Only six of
the local travellers were present at the
Saturday night meeting The matter
of organization was discussed in an in
formal way by those present at the
meeting The gentlemen present
knew that a larger representation of
the Oskaloosa travelling men could be
secured later and it was advised that
the matter be postponed for the time
being.
The visit of the gentleman to the
city, however, has not been without
results of a lasting and beneficial
sort. Hundreds of people have heard
of the Gideons who did not know of
the order and many have been i'm
pressed by the strong teachings advo-
Gated by the leader.
Mr.. Garlick addressed a union meet
ing of the churches OF the city at the
NJ. E. church Sunday evening and the
audience numbered over a thousand

one of the instructors in the Iowa

turning from the national association
meeting at Ogden, that had 1t not been
for the fact that the teachers were re-
engaged for next year, and had signed
their contracts before the close of the
past years school. postponement Of the
lone delayed extension OF the street car
line to the school from Council Bluffs
would have cost the Iowa institution
several of it's best teachers, who were
members of the party which attended
the national gathering OF the deaf in
Ogden
The Iowa teachers received numer-
Gus offers to locate elsewhere. with
equal or better salaries, and where
they would have social advantages
necessarily Impossible here on account
Of the isolation of the Iowa institution,
due to the lack of transportation ia

The combined efforts OF the people
of Council Bluffs have awaited nothing
with the Council Bluffs and Omaha
Street Car company. One year ago, the
general manager of the company de-
clared that the line to the school would
be built before SNOW flies" The fact
that he did not indicate what year has
led to many embarrassing questions.
and as the charter Of the company ex-
pires in a couple of years, eventuali-
ties are being discussed freely.

MISSING CAR LOCATED.
Trouble Over Binding Irvine Sold in
Garrison and Its Vicinity.


Garrison. July 16.--About two
twine consigned by the International
Harvester company to certain Min
nesota dealer, came up missing, and
the detectives of that company have
been actively tracing that car Of Irvine
across Minnesota, Kansas, South Da-
kota and Iowa. until they yesterday
ran the car down, and found that the
Minnesota dealer. finding himself bank
rupt. sold the car of Irvine at fraction
of its cost, to a lawyer in that town
by the name of O'Neal, who had
billed and rebilled the car to various
states In order to elude the vigilance
of the International people. O'Neal fin
ally sent the car to Garrison con-
signed to his son, Bert, who is in
charge of an elevator here, and from
here 1t was sold to the farmers around
here, and in neighboring towns, taking
notes in payment, which were invaria-
bly, cashed at the local banks. and the
proceeds pocketed Then having dis
posed OF the bulk of the car load,
O'Neal left the remainder with his son
Bert for sale and left town.
Now the agents Of the company APP
pear on the scene, and declare tina.
those who purchased Irvine of O'Neal
must pay for 1t second time as it
was not the property of O'Neal, but
was stolen. Time alone will prove
whether the company is really in earn
est about the repayment or just run
ming a bluff, but at any rate, those who
are involved will hesitate in the future
about buying their Irvine of strangers.

Special to Tlmes-Republican.


Davenport, July 16.--Lulu Bennett,
tie self confessed murderer OF Mrs.
Mary Mason, was given her prelimin-
airy hearing this morning before JUS
tice w. r. Haines and was bound over
to, the September grand jury without
bond.
The woman entered a plea OF not
guilty thru her attorney, w. G. Mott,
and the hearing was quickly proceeded
with. County Attorney A. w. Hamann
conducted the prosecution.
But few witnesses were examined
and the hearing was gone thru in less
than an hour. The Justice court room
was packed to suffocation with a
unique gathering Of curious minded
people representing all classes and
walks in life. The crowd extended far
ont into the street, inasmuch US nun
dreds were unable to gain admission.
At the conclusion Of the evidence the
woman was bound over to the grand
jury without bond and taken back to
jail.
Many since reading the account OF
the terrible murder OF Mrs. Mason at
the hands of Lulu Bennett, have won
d,sred and commented on the diabol-
csll nature Of the deed
This is probably more readily ex-
planned when it Is stated that Lulu
Bennett, the murderess. is a slave to
ctrop,r dy~iuk This thirst had taken
such a firm hold on her that she was
accustomed to drinking pure alcohol.
On the night of the murder, so states
the woman, she had three beers and
a quantity of pure alcohol. This mix
ture and the intense heat, u1doubt-
e,lly crazed the mind of the woman
to such an extent as to persuade her
to commit the terrible crime.

sALooN,sTs WANT MONEY BACK
Seek Recovery 81 Money Paid Over to
Attorney c. w. Neal.

NtSOVUSy ~ W. 'SVos
Davenport, July 16-Since the recent
decision of the supreme court, rem
dered several days ago, in which al
partial DEGREES rendered in connection
with the mulct law, are declared In
valid and of no effect, several Daven-
port ssaloonkeepers have decided to
consult an attorney with view of
bringing action of possible, for the re-
covery of the money they paid over to
Attorney G.. w. Neal on the DEGREES Sc
cured by him.
The decision OF the supreme court
completely knocks out the Neal de-
crees. Inasmuch as they are declared
illegal by the supreme court, the sa-
loonkecpers claim they were wrong
fully taxed for the costs, including the
$25 attorney fee in each case, and now
they propose to recover this amount
If possible.
The saloonkeepers realize that At
torney C. w. Neal is now beyond
their reach and 1t would be impossi-
BILE to recover from him any part
of the $4,000 out of which they allege
they were mulcted. But on the other
hand, the saloonkeepers claim they
did not give the money to Attorney
Neal. They were compelled by the
court to turn 1t into the county
clerks office and 1t was then paid
over to Captain, Neal from this office.
They therefore feel that Scott county
had part in the transaction. Inas-
much as court cannot be sued, some
of the saloonkeepers are in favor of
trying to recover the amount from the
county.
