Kindness Rewarded In win.

IOWA FALLS, Ia, Jan. 1~5.-(Special.) y
A fortune for the kindness shown, is re-
vealed by the will Of the late Mrs. Nora
Bolander of this city; n Mr.. Frank
Cowles, a student at the conservatory Of
music at Ellsworth college is the recip-
lent of the unexpected good fortune. A
little over six months ago. Mrs. Bolander
moved here from Ackley which has been
her home since 1865. Buying a little home
on the south side, she settled down in the
evening Of life to enjoy her remaining
days among friends. Mrs, Cowles, whose
home is in New York. came here a few
years ago to furnish his musical educa-
ton under the direction of his friend,
Prof. A. e. Bullock. director of the COL
lege conservatory of music. Without any
home here, Mr.. Cowles took a home at
the home OF Mrs. Bolender and In return
for many kindnesses shown his landlady,
she took a fancy to the young man and
had decided to provide the funds for the
completion of his musical education, 20
secure which Mr.. Cowles was dependent
on his own resources, 1t was a complete
surprise, therefor, to Mr.. Cowles and his
numerous friends in this city when the will
of Mrs. Bolender, who died suddenly last
week, revealed the fact hat the bulk Of
her fortune had been left to her new
found frtend.

A large party OF Florence crack shots
went out to Ted Prices farm last Sunday
with the intention OF cleaning out the coun-
try of wolves or coyotes, but as the snow
was so deep they were forced to content
themselves with a few rabbits. However,
as the snow has melted considerable the
last week, and then frozen, putting a firm
footing on the top OF the drifts, they are
going out today. Arrangements have been
made for a score of wolf hounds to be
brought-down from Calhoun, and over sixty
have agreed to turn out for the hunt. They
viii meet at Prices farm on the Calhoun
road and there select the captains. The
plan Is to form a hugh semicircle from
the north line of Florence to Coffman, and
gradually move EASTWARD oward the river.
The wolves have become particularly bold
this winter and Mr.. Price says he has been
bothered with them coming up to the barn
after his sheep. and It is no unusual sight
to see them while out in the fields auling
hay.
Many Of the farmers around Florence are
being put In an embarrassing place by the
Continued cold weather and deep SHOWS
The winter coming on early caught many
Of them with their corn still in the field,
and the weather has not been since 80
they could get into the fields. One farmer
has two cars OF hogs and two OF sheep on
feed and Is near the end OF his corn. He
has over eighty acres of corn in the field
that he cannot gather, and II the snow
don't melt soon he will be forced to send
his stock to market in q habitat condition.
Another farmer has over 100 acres in corr
hat he can't get at, and has a big bunc,
of cattle on feed. He says he has enougL
corn IN hand to last him about two weeks,
and II the weather don't moderate In thai
time, he will be forced to put his cattle
on the market, as he has so far been un-
able to buy corn, his ~neighbors all being
In the same boat he is IN, Another farmer
purchased 100 bushels in Omaha and Ii
hauling it out to his place, In spite of tho
fact that he has eighty acres of corn or
his place waiting to be picked, On the
other hand, the fruit men are happy over
the deep snow, as II has formed an idea
covering for the Strawberries and Other
small fruits and prevented the thawint
and freezing Of the vines, which is so in.
furious to the f%ruiting. All they hope fol
is a gradual going off or the snow in TN,
spring and no late freezes, and they will
have a bumper of a crop. The deep snow
has also been of untold value to the alfalfa
fields and pastures.

Coroner's Inquest Does Not Disclose
Manner of Collins Death.

The inquest held yesterday afternoon by
Coroner Treynor over Eugene Collins, the
negro dining car waiter, VINO was shot and
killed Friday morning at the home Of his
mother-in-law Mrs. Jennie Powell, 70 South
Eighth street, failed to throw any further
light on the tragedy.
Stories told on the witness stand by the
several inmates Of the house were more or
less contradictory. While the young wife,
Mrs. Grace Belle Collins, claimed she shot
twice at her husband in self-defense, the
investigation yesterday afternoon failed to
disclose who fired the hot which struck
Collins between the shoulders and severed
the vertebrate. Medical testimony showed
that this shot must have been i~nstantane-
ously fatal and that the bullet which
caused this wound must have dropped him
In his tracks unless the shot was fired into
his body after he had fallen Following the
shot in the left temple.
The jury, consisting of Lee Albert. Divide
Wien and John Walsh, was unable to de-
termine who fired the fatal shots, but rec
commended that Needham Whitmire and
quito Calamese, the young negroes who
were roomlng at the rowei house, as well
as Mrs. Collins, be held for further investi-
cation. The three were committed to the
county Jail pending a further investigation
by the authorities.
J.. w. Watts, husband OF the eldest
daughter of Mrs. Powell, who had beer
placed under arrest with Whitmire and Cal
amese Friday, was released after the in
quest. Mrs. Powell and her daughter, Mrs
Watts, had not been placed in custody
after they had testified before the grand
jury Friday afternoon.
Testimony az wife,
Mrs. Collins testified that when she fired
at her husband. and she said she fired two
shots, he was facing her. She was unable
to account for the fatal wound in her hus.
bands back.
City Physician Tubbs, who was called tC
the house shortly after the shooting, test.

Mrs. Watts, told him that Collins had sho.
himself. One Of the young negroes. VIII
was Identified yesterday afternoon by DIR
Tubbs as Calamese, told him tina Mrs
Collins, shortly after the shooting com
menced, came to their room and he HANDED
her a revolver. Both Calamese and Whit
mire, when on the stand, denied having hat
a gun In their room. ~
Whitmire and Calamess denied knowing
anything about the shooting, and boil
claimed they were seized with a brainstorn
through fright. They declared they hat
never seen Collins until they saw him LYNN

KANSAS CITY, Jan, Decentralization Of
the rumor that poison had been found In

this caused the autopsy on the body Of his
millionaire uncle, Colonel Thomas II.
swope. was given tonight by Attorney
John II. Atwood. who Is one Of the attor-
neys for the swope estate and has taken
a prominent part in the Investigation Of
the mystery.
So firmly convinced are the Investigators
that the poison was administered Chrismen
swope by someone with criminal intent
that an arrest may be made in the case
tomorrow. Mr.. Atwood said:
9Th poison found In Chrisman swope's
stomach may have been s~trychnine, al
though We are not In a position to state
this positively" he said, "Dr Lewis
Hektoen, who mad the report OF the find
Ing OF the poison, has not been able TO say
Just what II is"
Attorney Atwood and others prominent
in the inquiry knew that Chrisman Swope's
stomach contained poison before the body
of Colonel swope was exhumed last
Wednesday. The facts were kept a secret
until tonight. however.

CHICAGO, Jan. 16AIn two or three
days DIR. w. s. Haines Of Rush Medical
college will be able to say whether or not
the late Thomas H. Swope of Kansas
City had been inoculated with a typhoid
culture to produce seemingly natural
death. Or. Hainesn has been engaged in
ach OF Swope.
He said:
IAN incubation of a typhoid culture
would be much more subtle in its mani
festation than an ordinary poison, but 1t
could be traced. incubation by the germ
is a recognized method of poisoning,
though ~infrequently used.
"Dr. Hektoen. who will return from the
east Monday, made a pathological examin-
alton Of the stomach before his departure.
Just what he found l cannot say, but the
natural inference is that he found traces
of irritation. as he considered a chemical
examination necessary.
