INSISTS COUNTY MUST KEEP CONTRACT Ills Fee nn Two Cnnes Reported Fri day Will Amount to jt:t,000 nml lie Filed Notice of .It ore Ills, coverlet Saturday, F. M. Cunningham, tho "tax ferret," filed with County Auditor lnncs yesterday two notices of nllcgcd discoveries by him of porsonnl property which has been withhold or omitted from assessment for a period covering tho flvo years from 189G to 1900 Inclusive. Uo also filed notices with County Treasurer Arnd In two other cases of his alleged discoveries. In tho first rotlco filed with tho county auditor Is included property to tho follow Ing amounts: In 1896. $51,727; 1S97, $51,755; nc" l'luffs Oman's club met Thurs 1898, $18,352; 1899, $43.4S9; 1900, $47,924, ry c rnol c "b roonw under tho making an aggregate for tho live year, of o Uss Dodge A largo nttend. $214,233. In tho Eccond notice Cunningham claims to havo discovered that a resident of this city had for tho period of flvo ycats mentioned $5,500 loaned out on mortgages In Muscatine county, this state, which has nevor been nsscsscd In this county. In ono of the notices served on County Treasurer Arnd Cunningham listed prop erty to tho following amounts: 1S9G, $1", 780; 1897, $28,280; 1S98, $11,280; 1899, $29,SS0; 1900, $25,C10, making n total for tho flvo years of $113,830. In tho other caso he claims that property of n certain cstntc representing $36,260 has been omitted from assessment for tho four years from 1S90 to 1899 Inclusive. In tho first caso tho alleged owner of tho property claimed to havo been omitted from assessment Is a resident of Avoca. Treasurer Arnd has fixed January 18 for tho hearing In both these cases. As tho rata of taxation for the last flvo years In Pottawattamie county has been ap proximately C per cent on a valuation of 25 per cent, It will bo readily seen that Cunningham will rccelvo remuneration run ning Into the thousands of dollars should tho property listed by htm be placed on tho tax books and ho paid the 50 per cent as provided In his contract with tho board of county supervisors. His fee In the two cases nlono reported to the county treas urer Friday would amount to about $3,000. Cunningham stated yesterday that he had no fear that, tho county would be compelled to llvo up to Its contract with htm. A "tax ferret" law similar to that of this state, he Bald, existed In Indiana and tho supreme court there recently held that tho 50 per cent contract, such as ho holds here was valid and binding.

Judgo Smith Mcl'hcrson of tho United States court has handed down his decision overruling tho motion of tho plaintiff for a new trial in tho suit of Mrs. Jesslo Kerr against the Modern Woodmen of America and ordering Judgment for tho defendant on rtho verdict. The caso was tried at the September term of federal court In this city. Mrs. Kerr sued for $3,000 lnsurnnco on tho II fo of her husband, James Kerr, who at the timo of his death was a resident of Manilla, la. The claim was resisted by tho Modern Woodmen of America on tho grounds that Kerr committed suicide. Tho cvldcnco brought forth at the trial do volopcd that Kerr, who was prominent In church, social nml lodgo circles, had led a . 1 .. . . I . t H , 1 I I. . . 1. - .!.. LI- .t 11. uuuuiu iiiu uiui limb un inu uuy ui inu uuawi omcers from Missouri wero waiting with a warrant for his arrest on the charco of bigamy. Kerr had asked tho ofllcors for permission to go to his room on the second floor of his homo to nrrango his prlvato affairs and had retired for this pur roso when a shot wns heard. Kerr was found lying dead with a bullet through Ijls head and a revolver in his right hand. Ills wife contended that tho shooting was accidental. Kerr's death developed tho fact that ho formorly lived In Canada, whoro ho married tho plaintiff In this suit. After n short period of married lifo he left his wlfo and camo to America and In Sullivan county, Missouri, married the daughter of a farmer without having gono through tho formality of securing n dlvorco from his wlfo in Canada. In Missouri Kerr became prom inent In church and social circles, but aftor living thcro several years, during which a family was born to him, ho deserted his wlfo nnd children nnd returned to Canadr, and beenmo reconciled to his first wife. Later, with her, ho returned to America and finally settled In Manilla, la., whoro ho engaged In tho business of railroad brldgo contractor. Tho relatives of his family In Missouri discovered by chance his where abouts and a warrant waa Issued for his arrest. It was while tho Missouri officers wero at his houso that his death took place as described. Tho policies of tho Modem Woodmon of America provldo that If a man dies by his own hand, whether sane or Insane, It ln valKates tho policy and It was on this clause nnd tho presumption thnt Kerr took his own llfo that tho defense relied. Judge Mcl'hcrson's ruling settles the case, unless tho plaintiff should take tho caso on appeal to tho supremo court of tho United States. N. V. Plumbing Co., telephone 256. Gravel roofing. A. 11.
