HOW A CITY REFUSED
100000 TAINTED"
MONEY

(By United Press Leased Wire)
CHICAGO, March 26.-Facts
in the romantic story Of how a
city may refuse to accetp the
gift Of $500, 900 willed to 1t for
the purpose of erecting a pub
lie fountain and monument to
the testator, because the
money is tainted" and how
the fortune may go eventually
to the wife Of a Wisconsin
farmer, were told by Captain
A. Eeckwith a relative Of the
heir, today.
The city of Detroit and many
members Of the city council, it
is said, will vote to refuse the
gift. The 100000 is part of
the estate of James Scott, who
died recently at an advanced
age, and the money is said to
be tainted" because Scott was
a we'll known gambler in De-
troit 40 years ago. The heir
in that case is Mrs. c. Camp
bell, who, with her husband
and two children, lives on a
truck farm at East Troy, Wis.
Mrs. Campbell is said to be

GOVERNOR AS
A FIREMAN
(By United Press Leased Wire)

BONNERS FERRY, Idaho, March
Ex-Governor Brady is here today
on an inspection tour after the
unique experience of acting as fire
man on a locomotive Of the Spo-
kane international railroad. A
freight train had been wrecked
ahead of a passenger on which he
was travelling. The governor was
in a hurry to reach his destination.
On the main line ahead of the
wreck there was an engine, and
into it Governor Brady climbed and
demanded that the engineer take
him to Boomers Ferry. The ell
gineman demurred saying his fire
man was sick, whereupon the gov
ernor whipped off his coat rolled
up his sleeves and, grabbing a
scoop, began to toss coal into the
firebOX. He stuck manfully to his
job and reached his destination on
time.

Low pressure prevails over the
western half of the country, with a
storm center of moderate energy
over the middle of the Rockies.
Over the eastern half moderately
high pressure obtains, excepting
pressure somewhat below normal

California to the southern part of
