NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS
fomaao : of William Parks is Taking on a
Most Practical Phase ,
AFTERMATH OF A MU3D-R DONE IN 1870
Money Lying la the Tlrtt Mntlorial Ilnnk for
Twontj-Four Vcnm Now Clnlmed
by the Htnto for the School
Fund.
W. M , McFarland , secretary of state , Is
In the city looking up certain matters con
nected with the estate of William Parks ,
who has been dead for more than twenty
years , but whose money , to the amount ol
ROOO. Is still on deposit In the First Na
tional bank of this city. There Is a ro
mantic story connected with Parks , which
Is known probably to very few , even ol
those who knew him In this city during tin
CDs and 70s. Ho came to Council Uluffi
In 18G3 , from St. Joseph , Mo. , and hired oul
as a teamster for Edward Crelghton , whc
was then engaged In building the first over
land telegraph system between this city an < !
the south.
During the winter , while the men wen
hauling poles from the mountains In Wyo >
mini ; , they were caught In a big storm
They cut their oxen loose and escaped then *
selves on foot , leaving the animals behind
as they supposed , to die In the snow am
Ice. When the springtime came they wen
back and were surprised to find that tin
oxen had In tome way managed toeathei
the storm , and were sleek and well fed , ai
though they had lived on the fat of tin
land all winter. This surprising dlscov
ery led Crelghton to think that there mlgh
bo a fortune In raising cattle , and he wen
at It , putting Parks , who was very shrewd
although Illiterate , on a ranch In Wyomlni
as his manager. A man named Frazer wa
Installed as Parks' assistant. One day Fra
zcr pretended to be sick , and lay abei
while Perks got breakfast. While Park
was stooping over , Frazer , who had trans
fcrred all the guns of the ranch to hi
bunk , shot him In the back and killed hln
Instantly. Frazer had learned that Park
had some money on deposit In some banli
for he had kept all his books for him , an
his evident Intention was to kill him , ge
the certificates of deposit cashed , and ski
before his crime was discovered. Dut hi
plan miscarried , for some men who ha
been working only a short distance awa
heard the shot and rushed In. Frazer wa
captured after a great struggle , and nai
rawly escaped being lynched. He was flnall
given a trial at Cheyenne and sentenced t
a life term In the penitentiary at Detroll
Mich. Ho was pardoned out a few year
ago by Governor Thayer of Wyoming.
Parks , It Is supposed , had had some troi ;
bio before leaving St. Joe , which had cause
him to take an assumed name. At an
rate , absolutely nothing has ever bee
learned of his relatives from that day I
this. In 1870 he deposited $3,000 In th
First National bank of this city , but n
one has ever appeared to claim It as h
heir. Indeed , the fact of Us being In th
custody of the bank was lost sight of unt
a couple of years ago , when Judge Deemc

SNOW 110UNO 1'AIIl A SUCCESS.
Unique EntortnlnniBiit that the
tlonnl I.ndlen Arc Pushing.
What Is a "Snow Bound" fair ? The que
tlon was most happily answered yssterday
those who visited the entertainment prc
fered by the ladles of the Congregation
church. Whlttler's "Snow Bound" was t
underlying Idea , exemplified by snowy drape
ICs , and frpsty ornamentations entirely cove
Inr walls and celling , and completely trar
lurmlng an. ordinary store room Into a fal
bower , with all the beauties and none
the discomforts of winter time. One had
gaze twice tb realize that the deft fingers
the women could BO transform and gra
linen sheets and cotton batting as to rl\
the art of Jack Frost himself.
The booths where January articles we
sold were snow thatched , while Icicles frlng
the eaves. Above the- roofs appeared t
winter sky , with the wild getse flying sou
for warmth. In ono nook was the old we
with Its snow covered sweep and Ice bou
bucket. Trees , with only the snow for fc
age ; birds of the north , warmly feathen
and other bits of landscape and scenic '
feels , were ingeniously arranged by the i
of the skillful crayoning of Mrs. Rallsbai
who adorned the walls with appropriate lit
sketchings and mottoes , while at the rear
the room was a largo landscape a see
from "Snow Bound. "
A large brick fireplace , with Its old-fa :
loncd ornaments , and grandmother In her roc
Ing chair with lur knitting , were amo
the realistic features of Interest. No less r
were the snowy tables , spread with all I
bounties from a well stored and sklllfu
managed kitchen. There never \vas a mi
novel and happy combining of the art of t
cook steve and that of the easel. The lad
who received were dressed In white cotl
dresses , and , with powdered hair , looked II
queens of the snow realm , while those
tending the tables' were no less charmli
White prevailed everywhere , and yet by so
mysterious arranging all winter chllllu
was lost In the warmth of beauty.
The fad and all fads arc popular of I
day Is the razor-toed shoe for ladlos. Tl
will bo still more popular when the lad
know that Byers Is giving away the fin

OAKLAND , Cal. , Nov. 13. George P.
nemls , Hsq. : My Dear Friend I have often
fancied you might desire to learn the result
of the Industrial nrmy's work. I feel the
result has justified the means , and feel more
especially that If there were more men In
this world like yourself we would never
have had to make the march , 'iet I am
Bure the time will come when. Instead of
sitting down to wait for pome miracle to be
performed to bring the mass of labor out
of the bondage they now endure , we shall
have an element of the political freedom of
' 7G. I will never forget you nor the many
kindnesses you have shown us. The men
have never ceased to speak cf you In the
most plowing terms , and your kind letters
were a source of much pleasure to myself ,
and at home with my little fnmlly of wife
and two children I take pleasure In rending '
them nloud to all who may be present with'
us. You know that I thank you , do you not ,
for your kindly Interest In a "submerged
nnd fallen humanity ? "
Say to Mr. Itosewater of The Bee that I
owe him thanks , too , also to others , Neclry ,
Scbrlng , Denver , nnd some thousands of
warm-hearted people whom It wns my
pleasure to meet while sojourning as Gov
ernor Jackson's uninvited guest near
Omaha. God bless you all , and I trust In
the beneficence of an nil wise Creator , who
cores for the sparrow , that you shall nil
i have the smiles of prosperity. While thlnga
personally nre far from prosperous , yet I
hope for the best. , ,
My old comrades nre coming oacK , and
among them my old drummer , who Informs
me of the kindness shown him while re
turning. Your name has been mentioned
around the camp flres night after night ,
and will continue to be , with reverence and

CLEVELAND , Dec. 6. The Iron Trade
Review this week snyd : Although Decem
ber Is usually markedly halting business
and a i general walling for hW year develcp-
ra
ments , Its Ilrst week haq ehown goodly sales
of steel and Iron. Chicago- seems to lead ,
the central west has b.een somewhat less
(
active and the minimum of activity appears
In the east. Reports ugreu that purchases
of foundry Irons have tteert expanding In the
past four weeks and trie , dumber of buyers
willing to contract far Into 1&95 has In
creased , a signs havu ( appeared that the
tendency was upward nxUier than a con
tinuation cf the decline that has been prac
tically without Interruption In the past two
years. Prices are easy In spite of the better
demand , the strong statistical position of
coke Iron up to December 1 and the Improbability
nl
probability of any Appreciable Increase for
ne some time In the capacity of furnace aci
tr tlvlty either north or south. The situation
1U as to Bessemer iron Is not clearly devel
oped. There are some few sales , Including
January delivery , on a basis of 110.40 to
)10.GOk I'lttsburg , and the coke uncertainty
la not to as greatan extent a handicap as In
the past three weeks.
111 In the central west some vessel material
111n has been bought and more Is hanging lire.
n , Inquiries from car shops have imparted
: T more life to the western trade , but the mills
seem to have lost all assertion on prices.

GRAND ISLAND , Neb. , Dec. C. To t
Editor of The Dee : Permit me through t
columns of your paper to make a correctl
of the publication which appeared In yo
Tuesday's Issue In regard to the cause of t
sickness of Mr. Thomas Connor , agent
the I ) . & M. railroad at this city , and 1
mental condition at that time.
The report of that Issue does him an Inli
tlce , and If not corrected might b ? del
mental to him In the future. Ho had been
a pleasure trip through the south , and wh
there contracted malarial fever , with Its usi
results , such as delirium and disturbance
the nervous system. He had not had si
flclent rest and nourishment for a period
two weeks. Ills aberration of mind mai
tested on his return home was not unusi
following this condition. There was not
that time , nor has there been any cau
for such report as appeared In your Tuesda ;
Issue.
Ills present condition Is entirely satlsft
lory , and verifies the above statement.
