INHERITANCE JAX LAW POINT
County Attorney Kllline!c llrliiK"
Suit AxnliiHt Ciioliriiu
Kxei'iitnrs,
County Attorney Klllpack brought suit
yesterday In the district court ngalnst tha
executors of tho Addison Cochran estnto to
collect collateral Inheritance tax amounting
to $C.C97.
Tho suit raises a new point In connection
with tho collateral Inheritance tax law. Ad
dison Cochran died beforo the law went Into
effect, leaving n largo estate. Ily hte will
his cnttrn proporty passrd Into tho hands rf ,
his executors, J. J. Stewart of this city and I
J. L. Drulen of Llttlo Sioux, who wero in
structed to dispose of It and distribute the
proccods among the beneflclatio. Tho total
cum of $131,930 has been distributed, ench
of tho beneficiaries reeolvlng $10,150.
Tho contention of tho county attorney Is
that as tho property did not pass to t' o
heirs until after tho distribution of tho pro
reeds, and this being uftcr tho enactment of
tho collateral inheritance tax law, tho estate
was subject to tho tax,

GRAIN COMPANY BRINGS SUIT
Wants Northwestern to Pny Damajos for

In AliM-nce of Trnlllu Aurei-liien t He.

nml I'liric AiTi-ctcd.
The MeCaull-Webster Grain company of
Minneapolis brought suit In the district
court yesterday against the Chicago &
V,,rllivt'nlnrti Ilnllrnml rnmnnnv fnr tl W.
Northwestern Itallroad company for $1,9'Jj
damages, which It alleges It has suffered
by reason of the railway company refusing
to transfer or route its cars over the
Omaha & St. Louis road.
The plaintiff llrm Is engaged In buying
and selling grain and does n large busl-
ncss In Iowa. In the action at bar the
McCaull-Webstcr company asserts that
during the month of August a number of
cars of grain were shipped to it from
points along tho line of tho Northwestern
nnd that at Council Rluffs tho Northwestern
refused to transfer these cars to the
Omaha ft St. Louis road, neither would It
permit Omaha & St. Louis cars on its
tracks so that the grain could be trans
ferred to them. Tho grain company says
It was put to great expense In consequence
and had to transfer the grain from one
road to the other by means of wagons. It
estimates this cxpenso at tho amount sued
I
for.
While this Is the tlrst case of this char
acter brought Into the local courts, tho
controversy has been pending for some
tlmo nnd ha3 been beforo tho State Hall
way commission on complaint of the grain
shippers.
Tho Northwestern road has no traffic
agreement with the Omaha & St. Louis,
which is alleged to bo a rate cutter and
disturbing element In railroad freight cir
cles. In consequence, It Is alleged, It has
,,...... .,- .
dono nil In its power to divert traffic to j
other ronds with which It had trnuiu
agreements. When tho controversy first ;
nroso the Northwestorn took tho ground
that It could not afford to allow Its cars j
to bo transferred to tho Omaha & St.
Louis on account of the scarcity of cars
and Its need for nil belonging to It. As
to not permitting Omaha & St. Louis cars
on Its tracks, so that tho grain might bo
transferred to cars of tho latter road, tho
Northwestern officials claimed this was
Impracticable, as It had no trafllc arrange
ment with tho Omaha & St. Louis.
In this caso the McCaull-Webster com
pany states It wnnted the grain delivered
nt points nlong tho line of tho Omaha &
St Louis road reached exclusively by that
railroad.

TRUCE TILL CAMP CLOSES
Then Colonel Knephcr llxpects to Se
cure .Scul of Ittvnln lit
Luke Mnnnwn.
Colonel William Henry Kncpher Is still
on tho warpath and declares he will havo
scalps hnnglng at hts belt before many
days havo passed. As n sequel to his nt-
tempt to secure a search warrant Thursday
for tho Country clubhouse, managed by
Herman Fnebcr, a warrant was Issued yes
terday morning charging Kncpher with be
ing mentally deranged. Tho information
was filed beforo tho Insanity board by James
E. Hnrtzcll, employed by Faober at Lako
Manawa.
Fnebcr and Hartzcll were tho only two
witnesses examined, whllo Kncpher wns
represented by nn attorney. The ovldcnco
of Fnebcr and Hnrtzcll wns to tho effect
that Kncpher had on several occasions nt
Lako Manawa, where he conducted n lunch
stand, neted wildly nnd threatened to kill
soveral persons whom he claimed were an
noying him. Hnrtzcll said that Kncpher
had threatened to kill him nnd had gone so
far ns to flourish a revolver.
Kncpher denied making any such throats
and clalmscd his arrest on the charge of
being insane wns but ono small chapter In
tho persecution ho had been subjected to
by his rivals in business. Tho commis
sioners discharged Kncpher on tho grounds
that his peculiar behavior was evidently
tho result of an overindulgence In strong
liquors and warned him that unless he let
liquor nlonn hla mind would undoubtedly
becomo permanently unhinged.
Kncpher. It Is understood, hns employed
tho services of two attorneys with tho
nvowed Intention of closing tho Country
clubhouse unless Faeber compiles strictly
with all the provisions of tho mulct law.
If ho carries out his threat a lively war
may bo looked for down on tho row at Lako
Manawa, ns others have threatened that If
Faeber Is molested the same proceedings
will ho brought ngalnst every place thnt
sells liquor at tho lake. Knepher's at
torneys declined to dip its the mnttcr yes
terday, but it was reported that a truce
had been patched up so thnt nothing will
bo done until the close of the encampment.
At the close of tho camp, however, It Is
said, tho dogs of war will be let loose and
thcro will ho trouhlo nnd plenty of It.

A Mnn'n Tribute tn n Sensible Sen nut
In lilt Family.
Tho imagination of tho novelist has sel
dom produced n story stranger than tho
sworn testimony of ex-State Senator Wal
ter D. Sayler of Carthage, Mo., In the will
caso of tho lato James E. Ilaker, n former
Chicago capitalist. Henry It. Ilaldwln nnd
Pliny II. Smith, opposing attorneys In tho
cbho now In tho courts of Chicago, wero
in Carthngo to tako tho deposition of Sen
ator Sayler.
Ileforo becoming interested In lead nnd
zinc mining In southwest Missouri Mr.
Sayler was a practicing attorney in Chicago
nnd represented his district in tho state
senate of Illinois. Ills evidence in the will
caso was made up mainly of what tho late
Mr. linker had told him In conference with
him ns a lnwyor.
In his will linker directed among other
things that $7,500 bo paid out of his estato
to Mrs. Catherine M. Austin In considera
tion of "faithful services rendered tho
linker household nnd also for her strong
will In resisting a temptation offcrvd thnt
would, If accepted, have ruined tho life of
tho donor and brought everlasting dlsgraco
and despair to his name nnd family,"
Tho present Mrs. Catherlno M. Austin
was, many yenrs ago, Kittle O'Dowd,
housemaid In tho Daker homo, In nn aris
tocratic part of Chicago. She was an ex
tremely pretty girl, modest and sensible.
At one time thero nroso domestic troubles
In tho linker household. Tho husband and
wlfo were estranged from each other. To
keep tip appearances, however, they con
tinued to live In the same homo. During
that tlmo of practical separation between
husband nnd wife It is said that tho hus
band fell violently in love with the pretty
housemaid. Ho told the girl of his love,
begged her to elope with him to Dakota,
whero ho could sccuro a dlvorco from his
wlfo and mnrry her.
Tho housemnld, who hnd novor known
anything but poverty nnd work nil her llfo,
remained firm nnd untempted by tho pic
tures of love and luxury placed beforo her
by tho rich man. She declined tho offered
love and money and pointed out tho
trouble and disgrace such n courso would
bring to them nil. It would mean ruin
and disgrace to n rich and powerful family

tho folly of his proposition. Afterward
there came n reconciliation between Daker
and his wife.
In after years two suitors sought the
hand of thu housemaid. Uaker took It upon
j himself to look up the character nnd stand
ing of tho two suitors. Kittle married tho
ono whom he recommended. Ilaker wanted
to glvo her $10,000 as a wedding present,
but she would not accept.
The girl's husband turned out badly nnd
sho finally got a divorce on tho ground of
cruelty nnd married Austin, tho formor
siiltor. This tlmo Bho ncccpted $2,500 from

to Mrs. Austin, which, with tho $2,500 given
to her before, brought the sum up to

DES MOINES, Aug. 17. (Special.) The
heath of Hon. Edwin Manning at his home
In Keosauqua yesterday will cause re
gret to all the older residents of-the state,
to whom his name was familiar as one of
the foremost citizens of tho state. He was
a remarkable man in many ways. Ho was
a pioneer and one of the wealthiest men of

value of from $3,000,000 to $3,000,000. Dur

somo purchases of land.
Manning was opposed to slavery and fo
left Missouri and came up Into Iowa. He
first located at St. Franclsvllle, Lee county,
