FcLlcEMAN's WIFE HoAxEO.
Red Oak Man Did Not Leave $4,000 to
Chicago Woman.

Red Oak, Sept. 16.-The preponder-
ance of evidence is in favor of the the
DRY that the wife of the Chicago po-
liceman who was reported to have
fallen heir to $l50,000 left her by the
late Col. w. F.. Figg of this city was
dreaming or was the victim of cruel
joke.
The reason for this theory Is that
the late Colonel Figg was worth
something less than $4,000 and
could not have made such bequest
as is claimed in Chicago. Neither
was Colonel Figg bank director, but
he was a veteran Of the civil war.
having served in Company F of the
Sixteenth Illinois infantry.
His estate, estimated at $4,000 al
the highest, was evenly divided among
eight nephews and nieces. Mrs. Susan
Figg, mother Of Mrs. A. c. Christen-
sen Of Chicago. received the share of
the estate said to have gone to the
Chicago woman, according to authori-
ties here.
Figg died Sunday following stroke
of paralysis He was never engaged
in the banking. business here having
devoted much of his time to loanins
money in small sums to farmers living
around here.

snecia, TO Times Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Sept. 1.-two drainage
matters came before the state executive
council yesterday for hearings the
situation as to each one shows how
very much divided is sentiment in the
state as to exactly what ought TO be
done and how to do it.
In the case of the drainage district
along the Mississippi river in Muscatine
and Louisa counties it seems that there
never had been complete disposal of the
question of what to do with certain
BAYOU lakes which are included in the
drainage district. 1t was to settle this
matter hearing was had. And. as
usual, there were persons on hand to
demonstrate against any drainage, and
a big petition came from Muscatine
county in opposition to any drainage of
the bayous.
The other was the Goose lake case
from Greene county. 1t was supposed
this matter had been settled at a previ-
Gus hearing. But it was found that
certain formalities were not wholly
complied with before the previous hear
ing and notice was published of an
other. 1t was the understanding that as
to both the applicants for drainage and
the remonstrants there would be no re-
opening of the case but that the matter
would be submitted on the previous evil
dence secured. But at the last moment
there was failure to agree on this and
both sides appeared before the state
officials with brstling evidence of fight
and each one ready to swear that I'M
less the state officials do so and SO they
will lose lot of votes. etc.
When 10 a Marsh q Lake?
The Goose lake case when disposed
Of before seemed simple enough. While
it was called a lake the evidence seemed
to be that it was a big marsh or pond
and that no part of it could be properly
regarded as lake.
In all these cases the sole question
that has confronted the state officials
has been as to the exact character OF
the lake or pond or marsh attacked for
drainage. State officers have agreed,
from the first, at least as to present
state officials. that the sole question to
be determined is whether the drainage
is going to affect something that may
properly be regarded as lake or may
be preserved as lake and has real use
for lake purposes. II so, then no drain
age is to ordered. The present council
has not planned for any drainage of any
place save and except where 1t was
conclusively shown that the advantages
to the surrounding country would be
greater than otherwise. No real lake is
to be drained.
But always, in each and every one of
these cases, there are conflicting prop
erty interests and the witnesses dis
agree as to the actual conditions.
No decision was made as to either
one Of these lakes.
