I'nkiHivtii ti Hunt,
No information wns filed yesterday
against Dr. C. II. Hunt and wife, charged
with nraon, but It Is understood that one
will bo llled today by the proper authori
ties. It Is said that an effort will be made
to secure their relcaso on ball today. The
preliminary hearing has been postponed un
til tho necessary Information Is tiled.
Tho case has attracted much attention
nnd considerable sympathy is expressed for
Dr. Hunt and his wife. Neighbors testify
to tho fact that tho dentist and his wife
and child were In almost destitute circum
stances nnd at times lucked necessary food.
Thoso who havo known Dr. Hunt several
years testify as to his good reputation and
say that he must hnvc been driven to des
peration In order to have attempted to
set flr to his homo in order to realize on
his Insurance. Tho little boy has been
taken to tho home of II o v. n. L. Knox,
rector of Grace Kplseopal church, a long
tlmo friend of Dr. and Mrs. Hunt.
It has since developed that even had tho
flro been, successful Dr. Hunt would have
realized nothing by It, ns his policy of In
surance unknown to him expired on May 1.
When tho last premium became due, Dr.
Hunt was unable to meet It and ho gave
as ho supposed a note for the amount for
threo mouths. The note, however, wns only
for two months ami tho policy expired on
the first of tho present month.
Dr. Hunt's attorney denies emphatically
the statement published In sonin of tho
newspapers that his client hnd made n con
fession. Chief of Police Albro says the
doctor as far as he knows made no con
fession nlthough he. Chief Albro, had In
ferred from tho statement made by Dr.
Hunt ns to his destitute circumstances thnt
ho had been impelled to set flro to his
homo through desperation.

Coroner's Jury Inutile to Fix lllnme
fur I'ntnlltv.
The coroner's Jury Impaneled In the In
quest yesterday morning over Albert Hnch
wltz, foreman of an Illinois Central switch
ing crew killed by tho derailment of n
switch engine Saturday afternoon, returned
a verdict to tho effect thnt tho denth of
Knchwltz wns duo to nn accident, but thnt
It wns unable from tho evidence to deter
mine the exnet eauBe for the accident. Tho
members of tho Jury were Ovlde Vlen,
George Treynor nnd Joe Palmer.
Theso witnesses were examined by Cor
oner Treynor: George W. McNcal. en
gineer; Eufieno Carroll, fireman; W. It.
Vaughan, rear brakemnn; W. It. Mllllken,
roadmastcr; Jacob Olscn, P. J, Nelson, sec
tion foreman and trackwalker respectively,
W. J. Scott, switchman, "who was on tho
footboard ,of tho. engine with Racqwltz,
Oeorgo flick and Frank Sadowski, wltnoisps
or tho accident.
The evidence ot tho train crew was to
tho effect that tho train was running four
or flvo miles an hour when tho engine left
tho track. None of them was able to de
termine the cause for the accident. Tho
tectlon nnd trackmen testified that the track
and roadbed had heen Inspected Just prior
to tho accident and that It was In good
condition.
Sadowski, who witnessed tho engine ton-
plo over from a distance of about two
blocks, testified that in his Judgment tho
train was running eight to tea miles an
hour. In his opinion tho engine could have
been stopped within Ita own length after It
had left the rails had the brakes heen In
working order. The evldenco of Engineer
McNcal was that he had examined his en
gine during tho noon hour and it was then
In perfect condition. He did not bcllcvo
that tho accident wot caused by the brake
shoo dropping nnd throwing tho driving
wneei on tno rail.
The funeral of Albert P.schwlts will ho

Tho union carpenters laid down their
tools yestordny and notified the omploylng
contractors that they would stay out until
the new agreement, cnlllng for a wago
scale cf 35 cents nn hour, Is signed by the
contractors. It is not believed that the
strlko will assumo nny serious proportions
as a settlement will probably bo reached.
Tho union carpenters nre of tho onlnlon
thnt even If the contractors association
refuses to sign the agreoment, ns an or
ganization, a majority of tho contractors
will accept It Individually. Tho strlk
affects ninety union carpenters, and If
It Is prolonged there Is u possibility of
other unions being drawn Into It. The
Carpenters' union Is affiliated with the
Trades and Labor assembly, and tho Build
ing nnd Trades executive committee, and
Its agreement as presented to the contrac
tors has been endorsed by both these
bodies,
At a meeting of the contractors' asso-
elation last night It was unanimously de
cided to reject tho demands of tho union
carpenters. Fifteen members of tho asjo
cUtlon were present and they were unanl-
Mtiiis In their decision to refuse to sign
any agreement. Several of the contractors
present said they could get all thn car
prnters they needed and that they had
recently been compelled to turn men away.
The unanimous sontlment expressed nt
the meeting wns that the members of the
association employ such men ns they choose
nnd pay such wnges ns they had to, with
out rcforenco to any agreement.

DES MOINES, May 20. (Special.) The
Iowa supreme court today announced a
decision In a laud case from Webster
county, being the ense of Young against
Charnqulst, disposing of a number of old
land cases growing out of conflicting land
grants In Iowa years ago. Charnqulst
claimed the land in question, forty acres lu
Clay township, Webster county, under the
swamp land act of September 28, 1800, and
Young claimed title running from the rail
road land grant of May 15, 1S5&. Tho land
was originally certified as swamp land.
Then It was claimed ns a part of the In
demnity land along tlm Sioux City & Pacific.
Settlement of the latter claim was not com
pleted until August, 187S.
Owing to much litigation the claims of
tho respective parties are comparatively
recent, nnd the fatal defect In tho title of
the defendant as found by the supreme
court is that the land once passed through
tax sale while the claim under the railroad
grant was yet unsettled, But the Iown court
In former decisions had held thnt the cer
tlfylng ot land ns swnmp land whs conclu.
slvo as to Its character. Tho supreme court
of tho United States has set up different
rules nnd now the Iowa court bends Its
decisions to fit tho views of the higher
court. Although the land had been occu
pied and held by the defendant many years
It Is now declared to belong to tho plain
tiff. Other cases decided arc:

Punora Convict I'nroleil,
William Harris, who was sentenced by
Judge Holmes In 1896 to serve twenty-five
years In the penitentiary for tho murder
of George Frank, was today paroled by
Governor Shaw, after serving one-flfth of
his term. The governor's parolo was
granted on the recommendation of Judgo
Holmes, who beard the case, and James
A. Howe, the county attorney who prose
cuted Harris. The parole Is conditioned
on the absolute temperance of Harris and
his complete abstinence from all Intoxi
cants which were tho direct cause of the
murder which resulted In Frank's loss of
life and Harris' loss ot liberty.
The Frank murder is still distinctly In
memory, occurring In September of 18S6,
during the state fair, at Sixth and Wal
nut streets, In broad daylight, at one ot
the busiest corners of the city. Frank
was stabbed by Harris and fell dead In
the center of the street as he was drag
ging himself toward Dr. Road's office for
medical assistance.
William Harris came to Des Molnts from
Panora, Guthrie county, whero his rela
tives still reside. He was an expert car
riage painter and striper and in 1895 was
employed by the Pitt Carriage company,
working at painting fancy buggies. He was
a good workman, but love for liquor mas
tered him.
