W STATES AFTER
FRANK SHERCLIFFE,
NOTORIOUS OUTLAW
Colorado and Minnesota Off
GERS Racing to Get Posses
sion Of Convict Fugitive.

Hes Moines, Ia, Nov. 4-Not to be
cheated out Of his man, the Colorado
sheriff from whom Frank Shercliffe es-
capped at the very gates OF the Colorado
pelitentiary has started for Knoxville,
Tenn, armed with rcquisition papers.
A demand viii be made of the Knox
Vile authorities for the surrender of
SherclifTe for ~eXtradition.
from the north two men are speed
ing to the Tennessee city with the in
tentlon of taking the famou desperate
back with them to Minnesota for trial.
The sheriff Of Hennepin county,, whore
the Northern Pacific train was held up
last April and a Northern Pacific de-
lectlNe are now on the road South.
A clash between the sheriff of Hen
nepin county and Sheriff Bonner, the
officer from whom Shercliffe
escaped, is imminent.
The fact that Shercliffe is willing to
return to Minnesota without requisition
papers is a point in favor of the Min
neapolis officers, as in that event they
would not be made to hav their requi-
sition honored by the Tennessee gov
ernor at Nashville, which would be the
case OF Sheriff Bonner. On the other
hand. 1t is pointed out tina murder is
u more serious offense than train rob-
berry. a point in favor of the Colorado
officer, but a much stronger point in
favor of the westerners Is that should
the Tennessee authorities give the pris-
oner to the Minnesota officers, he would
have to be tried with the possibility of
his being acquitted, while the Colo
radoan can point out that Shercliffe
has already been convicted and SEN
fenced there.
Who Will Get Him?
Which set of officers first reach
Knoxville Is 10Y only the question of
railroad connections. The distance is
abou equal from both states, with the
railway service somewhat in favor of
the Minnesota authorities.
Shercliffe Is after the biggest GRIM
inal lawyer in Knoxville, former Mayor
Sam G. Heiskell, but the authorities
have not yet advised Mr.. Heiskell of
this fact. Shercliffe was told that the
days dispatch from Des Moines stated
that Mrs. Shercliffe thinks the man I'M
der arrest In Knoxville is not her hus-
band, believing that he is too shrewd
for that. He offered no reply, but
paced his cell like a Gagged lion.
While being searched at police head
quarters, Shercliffe managed to steal
back a part of h money taken from
him while under the eyes of officers.
The money vas missing and Shercliffe.
was searched twice by the officers. but
1t was not re~discovered until Sergeant
Pa Connolly took off his hat and the
pocketbook containing the bills dropped
to the floor. Asked about this. Sher-
cliffe declared he was merely having a
little sport with the boys.
Shercliffe's baggage was found today
and in IL a suit case and a pistol was
found.

STATE LOSES CHUNK
OF INHERITANCE TAX

Des Moines. Ia, Nov. 3.-The state
OF Iowa yesterday lost a chance at
some collateral inheritance tax in a
case from Jasper county, which reached
a finish in the supreme court. 1t was
the Lamb estate and two old people
had a number of years ago given to
the son of their adopted daughter their
farm. entering into a contract for life
Keeping. The contract was fulfilled and
upon the death OF the donors of the
farm the state claimed the inheritance
tax. 1t appears that the adoption was
not proved but the court also holds
that a contract Of hat kind precludes
h collection of collateral inheritance
taxes.
