The late Joseph A. Connor of Oma
ha , whose estate valued at $400,000 is
the subject of a sharp legal contest
Just now as indicated In press dis
patches from Omaha , was a largo land
owner In Stanton and Madison coun
ties east of Madison for twenty years.

who testified before the railroad com
mittee of the house of representatives
In Lincoln this week In connection
with the bill to restrict freight trains
to fifty cars. In appearing before the
committee , Mr. Reynolds told of
changes in structure of cars and Im
provements In safety devices , such as
air-brakes and automatic couplers. He
could not see any cause why long
rains should be more dangerous than
short onus If properly equipped. On

! iy proper equipment. The element of
idded safety of long trains he thought ,
came from fewer meetings , fewer
irders , fewer men responsible for mov
ing the train.

RIFLE RAILROAD STATIONS. ,
ft Dakota City and Coburn Junction ,
Trunks Are Smashed.
Sioux City , In. , Jan. 27. Unknown
burglars broke Into the depots of the
Omaha road at Dakota City , Neb. , and
Coburn Junction , Neb. , securing sev
eral hundred dollars' worth of goods
and destroying as much more.
It is evident that both jobs were
done by the same gang , as the work
was identical. In each place trunks
were broken open and rilled , boxes de
molished and the contents strewn on
the lloor , while almost every drawer
In the two depots had been pried
open.
There was no money in either of the
depots , the only loot secured by the In
truders being goods , but what kind
the railroad officials refuse to state.
The robbery bore the earmarks of pro
fessionals.

Masquerade Costumes bfy Deception ,
Wlnslde. Neb. , Jan. 27. During a
masquerade ball here , a vender of cos.
tunies was visited by two women , who

people , and rented the two best outfits
he had. They put them on and dis
appeared , not even attending the ball ,
and as yet have failed to return the
apparel.
The owner , who is a stranger In
Wlnslde , soon learned that they did
not give their right names and up to
the present time all efforts to estab
llsh their Identity has proven fruitless.
They will be arrested if found.
DAKOTA SOLONS.
Four Principal Measures to Be Con
sidered.
Pierre , S. D. , Jan 27. As Is usually
the case , the South Dakota legislature
will know after its six-day recess ,
ending today , about what will be the
subject matters of its work and , in a

legislation will be. It can now be said
that the remainder of the session will
be occupied particularly with consid
eration of the following proposed
measures :
Guaranty of bank deposits ; Increase
of the membership of the supreme
court to five ; pure drug and food bills ;

Confesses to Takinct Horse.
Tilden , Neb. , Jan. 20. Special to
The News : Frank Fryo , a young man
of twenty-two who lives at Aleadow
Grove , yesterday confessed to stealing
a horse from the farm of Theodore
Ott , near here , on Saturday night. Frye
was arrested and County Attorney
Nichols arrived this morning from
Aladison to take him In charge.
It was through a sweating process
given him by ex-Sheriff George Losey ,
captain last year In the anti-horse
thief association , that Frye was In
duced to confess.
Suspicion had rested upon Frye
through things which he did and
things thai ho said. He admitted that
Saturday night he bought a bottle of
whisky here , went to the farm of Ott ,
took the horse and later turned the
animal loose , about four miles north
east of the place from which the horse
was stolon.
It is believed here that Frye was
drunk when he took the horse and
that , probably , he did not realize fully
the seriousness of his offense.
Remarks made to a bank clerk , to
gether with finding the whisky bottle
on the road , led to suspicion against
him.

Police Judge Eiseley smiled today
as he opened court for he found he
had a real court to open and a real
case to try. Judge Eiseley has viewed
the new year with suspicion for "New
Year's resolutions" or some other 1909
Influence has put the police court busi
ness quite to the bad. Judge Eiseley
thought until this morning that his
January report would not show a
single arrest docketed and tried in
court. . But last night John Olson , a
Battle Creek carpenter , fell from the
water wagon with a thud sufficiently
loud to attract the attention of a
policeman. So Olson broke the monotony
ony of police court by furnishing a real
trial and by paying $7.10 into the cof
fers of the court. He was found
guilty.
A. E. Kull of Bonesteel. S. D. , today

Title to the property of Airs. Kato
Hangartner , who burned to death last

held In the wife's name really be
longed to the husband. The latter Is
at the Norfolk hospital and his wife
acted as guardian. W. E. Taylor of
Aladison Is now the guardian. There
Is only one son , Little Fritz Hangart
ner. .
A meeting of the fire department
on February 10 will take up the ques
tion of holding the state flremente
tournament in this city next summer.
At the recent state convention here
Norfolk was Invited to take charge of
the tournament , the convention ad
journing with the question , of accept
ance still open. Local firemen are
very doubtful as to what action will
bo taken , many deeming It advisable
to drop the tournament In view of the
department having just taxed Itself
and Its members In entertaining the
state convention on an elaborate style.
Some time before the convention mot
the question of asking for the tourna
ment was before the Norfolk depart
ment. The department at that time
voted against having the tournament.
Sentiment among Norfolk business
men will probably decide the final
action. The meeting of the depart
ment last night was a special meet
ing , which was called to pass on bills.
