Mason City, Aug. s.-"Oh! What a
disgrace! If he could only have lived
a few minutes!" Those are the words
Mrs. Michael Mcmahon keeps repeat
ing when friends call upon her at the
Jail at Sturgis, S. D. She was a former
Clear Lake lady, known as Miss Hol-
linsworth and was one of the charm
ing young ladies of the city. Her
father is known as a wealthy and re-
tired resident of Hampton. Her case
is especially interesting to a large
number of Iowa residents. Her prelim-
mary hearing was held Saturday and
she was bound over She is a lawyer,
her husband was a lawyer and her
father was engaged in practice until
ne retired.
The story is a short one, Miss Hol-
linsworth's first marriage was to
George Mcpherson, wealthy cattle
man. He died about four years ago
and two years ago she became the wife
of Michael Mcmahon. About the time
of their marriage her husband formed
partnership for the practice of law
with David P. Thomas. former United
States commissioner at Wasta. At the
primary election in June he was made
district judge. About three months
ago McMahon died and it seems there
was some trouble in the settlement of
the partnership Thomas desired the
privileges of the office until business
affairs were settled. Mrs. McMahon
refused this and ordered him to leave.
There was other trouble between them,
of what nature has not yet come to the
surface and may not until the trial
of the case.

On the day of the tragedy the widow
went to the Office as usual and COM
menced her work, for she IS a prac-
sicing attorney Soon Mr. Thomas
came and l,e was ordered to leave. He
simply laughed at Mrs. Mcmahon and
without saying another word to him
she whipped out a revolver which she
had concealed beneath her apron and
fired, striking him just above the right
eye. He fell dead at her feet TWO
women, friends of Mrs. Mcmahon, wit
messed the tragedy. Fifteen minutes
after the shooting she was in the GUS
tody OF the sheriff and behind the bars.
She greatly regrets what she has done
and friends are fearful that her mind
will give way under the dreadful
strain. Her father, being wealthy. and
she having wealthy and influential
friends, one of the hardest fought trials
that has ever taken place in Dakota

Judge Thomas. who fell the victim
to this woman's anger and hatred, was

Railroads Must Pay Taxes or Property
Will Be Knocked Down.
Sioux City. Aug. S.-Because of their
refusal to pay the water and light tax
for the past fifteen years, the property
of the six railroad companies centel%
ing in Sioux City may be sold at a tax
sale.
The first step was taken by the city
council when a motion was passed re-
questing the county treasurer to take
the course customary in such cases.
Property of individuals and small
companies is always advertised for sale
when there is a failure to pay taxes
but for some unaccountable reason the
railroads have been allowed to ignore
that portion of the levy for light and
water.
The roads owe about $4,000.
The council believes County Treas
urer o. B. Talley will cooperate with
it in securing a settlement. 1t will
be necessary only for the treasurer to
order the sale of railroad property to
satisfy the claim and it VIII be up to
the roads to seek an injunction re-
straining the sale. This would effect
settlement in the courts.
City Attorney Gill has Informed the
council that the taxes for the fifteen
years can be recovered but that in
terest and penalties can be collected
for five years only.
