Third Attempt Within a Tear to Barn the
Home of Patrick Lynch.
OIL-SOAKED RAGS HUNG ON THE DOORS
Evldrat Intent Sot Only to Darn the
lloose, bat to C'nt Off the Escape
f All the Inmates Third
Attempt In Year.
The third Incendiary attempt within
twelve months to burn the house of Pat
rick Lynch, at 2212 Sixth avenue, was made
at 4 o'clock yesterday morning. On each
of the threo occasions that the fire depart
ment has been called to the house, evidence
has been secured showing that the fire
was Incendiary and that It had been started,
from the outside of the residence. Two of
the former attempts were Investigated by
the grand Jury, but not sufficient evidence
could be secured to warrant the return of
au Indictment.
When the fire department reached the
house yesterday morning flames were -discovered
bursting from three sepatats
points. One' of the outside doors was foun t
drenched with kerosene oil, while on two
of the other doors old clothing sosked with
the same Inflammable substance had been
hung and Bred. The clothing on the two
doors had been fired first and It Is sup
posed that the rapidity with which It blazed
prevented the Incendiaries from setting fire
to the door over the cellar, which had been
soaked with the oil.
Evidence secured by Chief Tompleton of
the Ore department Indicates that the In
cendlnries used Ave gallons of oil In their
attempt to burn the house.
Leave Incriminating; Evidence.
On the back porch was found a five-gallon
oil can almost empty and with the cork
missing, and a granite teapot which showed
that it had contained oil. A partially
burned mackintosh coat and other portions
of burned clothing Including a woman's
skirt, were found on the doors and taken
possession of by Chief Templeton. Evi
dence had been secured showing where the
can containing the oil was purchased and
with this and other clues the police and
Chief Templeton expect to be able to run
down the guilty persons.
The manner In which the Are was set
this time leads to the belief that the
incendiaries not only intended to burn the
dwelling, but to cremate the occupants, as
the way In which every door was saturated
with kerosene Indicated that they Intended
to cut off all avenues of escape.
Lynch and his family have for more than
a year past had trouble with their neigh
bors and It is believed that the several
attempts to burn their home has been the
result of a desire on the part of their
neighbors to drive them out of the neigh
borhood. Lynch Is foreman of the Union
Pacific coal chutes at the transfer depot.
Before coming to Council Bluffs he was a
resident of South Omaha and was the first
city marshal of that city after Its Incorpor
ation as a town. The family consists of
Lynch, his wife and eight children.
The promptness with which, the fire de
partment responded to the alarm alone pre
vented the house from being burned to the
ground, as the flames had made such head
way as to compel the family to seek shel
ter, clad only In their night clothes, in
the barn at the rear of the lot. As It was,
the house was badly damaged and the fur
niture and contents suffered considerably
from smoke and water. Part of the fur
niture was practically destroyed by the
flames.
Lynch, while admitting that he and his
family have had more or less trouble with
their neighbors. Is at a loss to say who
has a grievance against him or his of such
a nature as would warrant the repeated at
tempts to burn down his home.

(From a Staff CorrDondent.)
DES MOINES. April 23. (Special.) The
state executive council today gave a hear
ing to the representatives at the account
ing departments of various railroads on
the bill passed by the last legislature re
quiring the companies to make statements
on some new points. These relate to the
proportion of business done In the state and
outBide of the state and that which either
originates or ends In Iowa. The law also
requires that the accounts shall be so
kept that there may be uniformity In the
reports made. The executive council la
authorized to direct how this shall be done.
When the council met today there was
present to represent the railroads and to
consult on the subject the following per
sons: Frank P. Crandon of the Chicago
Northwestern, F. D. Sturgta of the Bur
lington, W. N. H. Winnie and A. L. Dud
ley of the Milwaukee, S. C. Matthews of
the Rock Island and H. L. Batchelder of
the Omaha. The governor outlined briefly
what was Intended In the new law and there
was a general discussion of the means to
be used in arriving at the proper account
ing. The final orders In regard to the mat
ter will not be Issued for some time, but
the companies will make an effort to get
their books in shape so that the reports
will be uniform and what Is desired.
Hate Hearing; Also.
At the same time there was a rate hearing
before the state railroad commissioners,
at which a number of the leading shippers
of the state were present, also the freight
agents of some of the leading railroads.
A lowering of rates has been asked on
butter, tallow and many other products.
There Is also a petition before the com
missioners for a lowering of the rate on
broken stone for road making. This will
probably be fixed at about the same as
slack coal for the present.
Damages for Quarantine Neglect.
Quarantined without food or fuel and with
horses starving In a barn within a few
feet of the house is the complaint of W.
S. Martindale In an action for 15,000 dam
ages asked from the city of Des Moines,
the suit being filed in the district court
today. Martindale alleges that after quar
antining himself and family the city paid
do further attention to them for ten days,
although the city physician was repeatedly
sent for.
Following the Clues.
The police and detectives of Des Molnep
are still entirely at sea in regard to ttjp
murderers of the Peterson children. The
governor today received a letter from a
man in Indianapolis purporting to give a
description of the men and stating that the
one who committed the crime was a sandy
bearded man. The writer Is evidently de
mented, but this has started the story that
the man who committed the crime has been
described and fits the description from In
dianapolis. The detectives are still posi
tive, however, that they will yet obtain
some definite clue to the author of the
crime and are working quietly on the case.
Twins Burned to Death.
The 3-year-old twin children of Mr. and
Mrs. M. Shields, residing near Bear Grove,
Gunther county, were burned to death yes
terday afternoon. Their blackened remains
were found In the ruins of the Shields
barn, which caught on Are from some rub
bish. Until the discovery was made It was
believed by the parents that the children
were safe somewhere in the vicinity of the
house. Mr. Shields was plowing In the
field and Mrs. Shields was at work near the
home. Mrs. Shields was the first to dis
cover the death of her children. Missing
them when the fire had completed Its des
truction of the building she hastily Insti
tuted a search. Failing to find them about
the bouse the mother suspected they might
have been in the barn. A few moments
later she discovered their charred bodies
In the smouldering embers.
Hurricane Sweeping; Iowa.
One of the hardest windstorms ever known
here has been sweeping Iowa the last thirty
six hours. The temperature was decidedly
lower today than yesterday, but there was
a higher velocity to the wind and the air
was filled with dust as it baa seldom ever
before been in Iowa. The farmers look
with dread upon the present conditions and
are hoping a change may come quickly.
Preparing; Parole Papers.
The papers were prepared in the gover
nor's office todsy for the parole of George
Stanley of Story county, and William Young
of Woodbury county. The governor will
sign them tomorrow. Transportation .will
be furnished to take Stanley to Maine,
where he baa relatives, who will care for
him the rest of bis days. Young goes to
Sioux City, where Sheriff Jackson will see
that he has employment beginning May 1.
Medical t'lsmlnsflon.
Forty-six students were exsmlned before
the State Medical board today for certifi
cates to practice medicine. Three of them
were women, and a number were graduates
of the Drake Medical school here, the re
mainder coming from over the state.
The State Pharmacy board holds Its an
nual meeting tomorrow and prepares for the
annual report.
Frederlka Oil Fields.
There is much excitement in and around
Frederika, In Bremer county, over the fact
that drillers found evidences of consider
able oil at a depth of 200 feet. A company
was formed some time sgo to investigate
the oil evidences In that part of the state
and a competent driller was secured. The
company Is composed almost entirely of the
people of Tripoli, a small town near Fred
erlka, and a few businers men of Wsvsrly.
At a depth of 200 feet a quantity of oil was
found, about six gallons being taken out for
Inspection. The fact that the oil Is nearly
purs has caused a great deal of skepticism,
but the people of the county firmly believe
there Is an oil tank beneath them and that
they will strike a gusher very soon.

the year has been made in plowing and
preparing ground for planting corn, and
the acreage of that great staple Is likely
to be larger than in recent years. In a few
localities the planters have been started,
but farmers are generally waiting for
warmer weather. The soil is In an Ideal
condition for planting.
The season Is quite early in respect to
farm work, and about the average as to
growth of vegetation.

DISCOUNT MEAT TRUST STORY
British Dealers Consider Adrnnre
Legitimate and Prices Likely
to Hold.
(Copyright, 1902, by Press Publishing Co.)
LONDON, April 23. (New York World
Cablegram Special Telegram.) American
beef is selling in the London wholesale
market today at 13 cents per pound, an
advance of 3 cents upon the price paid
before the recent upward movement. All
the authorities In the meat market here
practically concur In the view that thla
Increase Is due to natural conditions, there
being a shortage of supply arising from
various causes, the Immense contracts for
South Africa being among them. The al
leged operations of the meat trust are dis
counted on this side and a permanent in
crease In prices Is regarded as unavoidable.
