SUPREME COURT DECIDES I'M.
PoRTANT CASE FROM WEST
ERIN IOWA.
CONSPIRACY is SHOWN
IN TRANSFER OF PROPERTY
Widow of Frank Dashner Succeeds in
Having Deeds of Conveyance to
Children by Previous Marriage Set
Aside-Estate is Valued at $4,000
and Widow Secures One. Third.

Special TO Tines-Republican
Council Bluffs, May ga decision of
the supreme court, announced yester-
day, in the case of Dashner vs..
Dashner, tho it did not carry with it
any detailed syllabus, was read with
considerable degree of interest in
western Iowa.
The case originated in Mills county
and was carried thru the courts by
Council Bluffs attorneys. 1t involved
about $4,000 and contains features
that made it of general interest. The
plaintiff in the case, the widow of Mr.
Frank Dashner. who was suing to re-
cover a dover interest in the estate,
charged that the sons of the deceased,
together With her husband, had con-
niyed TO defraud her of her one-third
interest III the estate.
Mrs. Dashner, in her petition, related
that she was married to Frank H.
Dashner in Council Bluffs, Jan. IS,
1898. after a lengthy courtship and not
until her husband had held out the
l44bQSc444S4il A-4eiS liz was hSpiNiiS e'A'et
that she would share in the comforts
and luxuries which it would afford
them. She states thar during their
married life, which was until May l.
1906. the day upon which Dashner
died, she and her husband enjoyed the
fruits of the farm property, which
was quite extensive, and that there
was never a hint OF a suggestion tilat
she would ever be deprived of the
same.
Continuing. Mrs Dashner charges
that she made the discovery that on
the day preceding her marriage to
Dashner, her husband secretly. clan
destinely and fraudulently made
conveyance to his children of all of his
property, real and personal" 1t was
set out in the petition that shortly
after the death of the elder Dashner,
the sons, by virtue of the deeds to the
property, took possession and literally
forced the widow TO go out into the
world alone and helpless.
Suit was brought to recover a one
third interest in the estate, then val
ued at about 5000. This was decided
in Mrs. Dashner's favor and was APP
pealed to the supreme court, which
court has affirmed the decision of the
lower court.

SEVERE ITCHING
.HUM0R ON HANDS
Tiny Pustules Spread Up to Elbows
Gould Not Sleep and Scratched
Until She Bled - After Seven
Months of Futile Treatment,
Little Girl was Completely
CURED IN TWO WEEKS
BY CUTICURA REMEDIES

"My daughter. twelve years Of age.
was afflicted with terrible itching OF
the hands which was SO bad at night
that she was unable to sleep. She
scratched herself until she bled. The
trouble began in the shape of small pus-
tules about the size Of pinhead which
scab formed on top. These always
opened up again, bleeding badly. From
the fingers it extended over the hand
and as far as the elbows. The doctor
said it was eczema and that recovery
would necessarily be slow. He treated
my daughter for seven months, but the
trouble always grew worse. Then I
started in to use the Cuticura Remedies.
After had used Cuticura Soap for two
weeks, with Cuticura Ointment and
Cuticura Pills, her hands were healed.

Thompson and his son had been in
Dunlap and had started home, riding
in a top carriage. Evidently they had
forgotten something as they had
turned about after crossing the rail-
road and were returning to town when
killed. The horses, which had crossed
the track, were uninjured. The car
riage was directly in the path of the
train, and was literally demolished.
When people reached Thompson and
his son, which was in a few minutes,
both were dead. Their necks were
broken and they were otherwise fright
fully injured. 1t is believed that neith-
er of the occupants of the carriage saw
or heard the train approaching.
An inquest is being held today. The
trainmen have been summoned.
Thompson leaves a widow and two

ceding Moore's flight he failed to turn
these checks into the house, but gave
some excuse. pretending he had not
made the collections When THE expos
ure came his employers made the claim
that. Moore had no authority to endorse
the firms name to checks and sought
to hold the local banks which cashed
checks for him. The City National had
cashed one check given by D. r. AL
corn, and the Farmers and Merchants
had cashed a check given by A. e.
Rumble. The wholesale house brought
suit against these banks to recover the
amounts collected by Moore, but the
banks won because it was easily proved
that Moore had been in the habit of
endorsing such checks for long time
and that the firm knew he was In 1.-THE

Light Company Offers to Install
Equipment FREQ to Iowa Falls.
Special to imes-Republican.
Iowa Falls. May 5.-The city water
will be pumped by electric power in
the near future, if a proposition made
by the light company is accepted. 1t is
proposed by the company to replace
the present steam power with an cleo
trio motor. it being proposed to in
stall the equipment free of expense to
the city, and furnish the power for
500 a month. This is very near the
cost of the coal used at the water
plant, that item of expense the past
year being sl,272. If the electric power
is installed, it will give the city dup
licate plant, and in the event of a
break in either steam or electric pow
er, the other can be utilized, and the
water service thus be left unimpaired.
The matter has been referred to the

out by the Independent Grain & Lum-
Der Company of Mason City, against

The grave diggers have made an en-
deavor to join the building trades
