glued into solid mass which has
been polished and vanished. Each
county stands out distinct in color and
shape, making an artistic map of this
state. There are sixty varieties of

GIVEN $4,000
JURY FINDS FOR PLAINTIFF IN
CASE AGAINST BRADLEY
ESTATE THIS MORNING.

BY the terms of the sealed verdict
read in the district court this morn
ing, Miss Julia Muldoon is given
$4,000 judgment against the Bradley
estate. The hearing of the case has
been in progress for the past three
days and was holly contested. The
amount of the claim of Miss Muldoon
for service rendered the Bradley
estate during the life of the two
principals, Mr.. and Mrs. Francis Brad
ley. was $3.50. BY the terms of the
will $500 was left Miss Muldoon and
this with the sum allotted her by the
jury this morning practically gives
her the whole sum asked for in her
petition to the court.
The attorney for the late Mrs.
Mary Sweeney appeared in court this
morning and asked that the will be
probated as per it's time of probate,
today being the time set for such &C.
ton. Counsel for Mrs Anna Evans,
sister Of Mrs. Sweeney, offered an
objection to the probating of the will
on the grounds that a will made prior,
in which q contract is alleged to have
been entered into by the decedent and
Mrs. Evans, should take precedence
over the late will The court ruled
that in as much as there was no legal
objection on file against the last will.
and that there being no question of
the soundness of mind of the testator,
nor undue influence alleged to have
been brought to bear, the earlier will
would have no right to interfere.
However, time was given the counsel
for Mrs Evans to prepare and file OBJ
jections in order that the matter
might come up later in the day.

John and Eli Phipps were born in
Washington county, Virginia, Febru.
airy H. 1872.
The life of John M. Phipps has been
remarkable in some ways, chiefly in
the temperate manner of his life,
which no doubt has been the chief
cause of his longevity, and also that
of his brother, for no doubt the man
ner of life of the one Is the story OF
| the other also
| John M. married late in life. at 80,
but even thus his marriage dates back
to three years before the Mexican war.
He married Mary E. Long, February
| 27, 1912, and through his marriage is
shown the relationship to o. S. Long.

died October 16, 1907, after welded

Mr. Phipps came to Iowa about
1885, ten years before it's admission
to the union and when the only popula-
ton YVES fringe of settlements along
the navigable rivers. He has been a
farmer all his life, but living for a
time in Missouri and Nebraska and

ago, where he has since resided. Hs
came here from near independence,
Mo.
Mr.. Phipps never used tobacco, OPT.
ates or liquor He used plain food
and loved corn bread, buttermilk and
cider. He nearly always took a nap
! at noon, and spent a great deal OF
| time out of doors. He loved the open
air and exercise, and even now. at his
great age, it is hard to keep him in
the house rs much as necessary for
his health.
Could Relate Much of Interest.
Mr.. Phipps has been great man &c
ask questions, but always reticent to
talk about himself Regarding his
early life he will seldom talk, although
he could no doubt tell incidents aud
experiences enough to make an inter-
esting book. This reticence. or moi<
/ esty, brought him notoriety few
years ago that proved amusing after
it was over. Miss Ida Tarbell, mag.
azine writer, stated that William
Rockefeller, father of John d. Rccke.
Teller, was living under all assumed
name in obscurity in Iowa, and the
Chicago papers undertook to find him.
They got clue that the old man was
living near Shenandoah and reporters
were sent here from Chicago TO hurt
him up. There was 10 one here Of
the right age to fill the description
except Uncle John Phiprs, and for two
or three days they labored with the
problem of proving that Phipps and
Rockefeller were the same person.
They drove to his home before day.

with questions by the hundred. trying
to get him to admit that he was Will
