POOR MAN NOW MILLIONAIRE
Cltlsen ( Webster City, Iowa, Heir
to Ftmon Estate of Many
Million.
WEBSTER CITY, la.. Sept 11. (Special.)
Mr. and Mrs. 8. H. Man of this city left
last night for Troy, N. T., to claim an In
terest In an estate valued at $260,060,000.
The estate In question consists of 266 acres
of land within the city of New York.
The interest which the Mans have in this
Immense fortune Is aa eleventh share,
which Is due to Mrs. Man through the
death of an aunt. The estate conies to
tho Man family through Mrs. Man's great
grandfather. This great grandfather, Van
Schuyler by name, was Dutchman direct
from New Netherland stock. He came into
possession of the . estate by inheritance
through three generations. The land cams
Into original possession of the Van Schuy-
lers through the Dutch "patroon" system
of colonization.
After this manner did the ancient Van
Schuyler com into possession of a por
tion of these vast estates. In 1782 he leased
the land for a period of ninety-nine years.
New York was then but a good sized vil
lage and the land lay far from its out
skirts. The country town grew until now
this then almost valueless land has be
come worth millions upon millions. The
leas expired In 1861 and the original heirs
ire now seeking a settlement through the
courts. The settlement has dragged along
over forty-one years on account of the In
ability to locate many of tho heirs through
subsequent generations. The matter, how
ever, is now in the final stages of settle
ment and Mr. Man, who, while a resident
of Webster City shoveled clay at the brick
and tile factory, will become a millionaire.
EX-SPEAKER FUNK .KICKS
lie Hefnsea to Go on the Stamp with
Alleged Bolters and Profes
sional Agitators.
IOWA FALLS, Sept. 1L (Special.)
Mayor J. H. Funk, who is well known over
the state as a stump speaker and prominent
in politics in Iowa for several years as
well as a prominent member of tho lows
legislature for several terms and later
speaker of the house, has declined to enter
the campaign now opening in Iowa and has
so advised the managers of the campaign.
In stating hi reasons for refusing to take
the stump this fall, Mr. Funk said: "While
I would be glad to take part in a political
campaign conducted by republicans, I can
not consent to take any part against the
ullwui auuiiuisiraiiuu. Ttie euiiftgouicSt
of that prince of buffoons and bolters, W.
E. Mason, is an Insult to every loyal re
publican in the state. In a campaign run
along these lines, I would suggest that the
management might secure Edward At-
klnson, Senator Hoar, Carl Schurx and
others of that ilk. candidly, I can see no
place in the present campaign for loyal re
publicans under the present management.
Rankin, fighting the republican party nine
months under pay, and working for us
two months in the year for pay is bad

POINT OF TIE I0W1 FKUT
Democrat Will Oancmtrat ii th Ora
jjretiional District.
NO INTEREST IN STATE TICKET
Facte and Statistics Shewing Where
the Republicans Will Have to Face
Serlons Contests and Do
i Their Beat.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES. 8ept. 11. (Special.) Th
political '.contest .la Iowa this year will be
mainly centered in four congressional dis
trictsthe First, Bscond, Third and th
Sixth.
The - democrats,' of course, have no
thought of carrying the ' state. In their
convention there was no interest nor con
test for place on the state ticket. It em
braces the name of no flrst-claaa man. but
la filled out with unknown and obscure
persons rather as a matter of form.
Likewise la most of the congressional
district the democratic predicament I ut
terly hopeless. In the Tenth and Eighth
district the democratic nominee have de
clined to make the race and withdrawn
from the ticket. The republican pluralities
in the last election two year ago in the
district which will not be seriously con
tested now were a follows: Fourth, 10,
83; Fifth, 9,868; Seventh, 12,143; Eighth,
6,451: Ninth, 6,947; Tenth, 16,836; Eleventh,
12,162.
But th other districts which will be
seriously contested this year have all been
carried by the democrats or by fusion of
the democrats with the populists except
the Third, which Is the home of Speaker
Henderson. For two decadea until four
years ago that district was normally demo
cratic and was only saved for the re
publicans by the personal popularity and
campaigning efficiency of Speaker Hender
on, but always by alender pluralities and
once by a plurality of only 27. His plural
ity two year ago, however, ran up to
11,325. The Immense German vote In all
the counties on the Mississippi river came
over almost in a body to the republicans
on the money Issue, having previously
acted with the democrats for a decade dur
ing the prohibition epoch,- and this In large
part accounts for . the landslide in the
speaker's district in the last two or three
election.
Similar causes have operated In the First
and Second districts, both of them "river
districts," and both solidly democratic on
the liquor Issue. For twelve years the late
ex-Governor John H. Gear was the only re
publican who succeeded In carrying the
First, and he wa repeatedly defeated. The
Second district wa purposely mads a dem
ocratic district by assigning to it strong
democratic counties in order to make sure
of republican district elsewhere, and in
twenty years the -republicans have con
trolled It for only three terms. In the last
election the republican plurality was only
1.465 and the majority over all was only
364. In the First district, th republican
majority was only 2,530.
The Sixth district has. until recently,
been carried a often by the democrat and
fuslonlst a by the republicans. It was
the stronghold of tha greenbacker. whose
successors were' 'the populists, and sine
the Brysn regime they, have coalesced with
the deaocraoy. iTwo year ago Congresti
man Lecey, whe has always had to fight
tor his life, carried the district by only
2,743 republican fjiajorlty.
In theae four districts the democrat
either have or will put up atrong candidates.
Judge Craig in the First, Judge Wade 19
the Second and ex-Governor Bole In the
Third are probably the strongest leaders
that It is' possible for the democrats to
choose. They will make energetic contests.
The real aim ia to break the now solid
Iowa republican delegation in congress, and
to that extent th republicans should know
that there Is a real fight ahead.
Charged with Abating n Child.
A life tragedy, culminating In Inhuman
cruelty to a babe, came to light in Des
Moines today. I. N. Thompson of Dallas
Center waa in the city about two week ago
making inquiries about hi wife, who had
come to Des Moines. It appears she bad de
serted him to live a life of shame. He could
not find her. But he left with friend hi
child, a boy about 2V years old, and today,
having heard that the child wa not well
treated, be came here again. He found that
his child had been in fact shamefully
treated. He brought the little one to police
headquarters and its body ws found to be
covered with stripes and bruises, showing
that it bad been subjected to an unmerciful
beating at the hands of someone. He swors
out an Information at onoe accusing Mr. and
Mra. Harry Lloyd, who live on Twenty-see-ood
atreet, with aasault upon the child. Mra
Lloyd I a stepsister to Mrs. Thompson. The
affair created a great deal of Indignation
and serious threats against the peraons
guilty of the crime. Thompson has been
unable to get trace of his wife.
Fined for Mistreating Horses.
i In police court this morning live drivers
of horses were up for cruelty to animals.
Four of them, Bert Lawyer, T, M. Moore, J.
B. Duncan and C. H. Smith, were found
guilty and fined $100 each, in default of
which they were aent to Jail. Del Weat, the
contractor under whom they worked, will
have a trial later.

. Concluding the Lewis Caae.
The testimony for the state in the Lewis
case waa flniahed this afternoon. Most of
l.. ... . . .i
' the teatlmony related to conversations al
leged to have been bad by tha defendant
wiia others aftr the murder vt the Peter
aon cht'dren. The state succeeded in show
ing thst Lewis' statement to different per-
sors were conflicting In the extreme and that
but Utile dependence could be placed on
what he had said about It. That h wa aot
far away when th murder was committed
was mad plain, though bis direct cennee
tlon with U was hardly established. At the
conclusion of the state' testimony the de
fense moved to dismiss, claiming no cas
had been made out against Lewi, but the
court overruled the motion and Lewi went
oa th stand la his own defense and told
cf hi whereabout at th time of th Peter
oa tpurder. At the conclusion of hi te
tlmoay th Justice discharged him, declaring
there w not evidence enough to warrant f
holding him.
Girls aa Messengers.
The Western Union Telegraph company
and (he American District Telegrsph com
pany thla morning put on five girls to act

They reported that the experiment was
working successfully and that only one
message had been returned undelivered
and that wa because the party to whom
it was addressed wa out of town. The

Snapend Work oa F.leetrle Line.
It I learned hare that there is to be no
more work done on the new electric line
from Wlnteret to Creston this year. The
extremely unfavorable weather haa made
It necessary for the contractors to sus
pend work. The work will be taken up
again In the spring. No work has as yet
been done on the railroad from Wlntereet
to Greenfield, though the right-of-way hna
been practically all secured, also tax aid
and all necessary . concessions. A part of
the tax aid will be of no use unless some
work is done this year.
Doono Aid Des Molne Strikers.
Th local society of th Brotherhood of

Lineman at Perry Meets wltk Acci
dent While Testing; Clr
enlt. PERRY, Ia., Sept. 11. (Special Telegram.)
George Roland was' instantly killed this
morning by grasping a live wire while In
specting the electric light wires In Delg
nan's grocery. In some manner the arc
light in Delgnan's store had become short
circuited and Roland, who had been line
man and inspector for three years, was
trying to locate the trouble. He had fas
tened a wire to a water pipe In the store
and mounted a step ladder, with hi test
ing wire in one hand. It is not known
whether the ladder fell or be lost b's bal
ance, ia trying to save liluiaclf trail fall
ing he threw his arm over a live wire.
The entire current passing through his
body killed him Instantly. Roland was ID
years old and lived with his mother, his
father having died six months ago. An in
quest will be held over the remains to
morrow. This particular light had been de
tective In some way and It is sail was
known to be dangerous. The currei.t was
supposed to have been turned off before
he began work, bene a question of liability
for his death.
EXTENT OF BUCY FORGERIES
Mere Note Are Fennd and It la
Likely that Still Others Will
Come to Light.
IOWA FALLS. Ia, Sept. 11. (Special.)
There ia considerable speculation as to the
extent of the Bucy forgeries, as investiga
tions have brought to light more bogus
notes than were found when the man's
forgeries were first detected. Me baa been
on trial In Abe district court this week,
having been Indicted for forgery en five
counts.
Several other notes are reported to
have been found since the young man'a
incarceration and speculation Is rife as to
whether or not numerous other note of
the young man' handiwork may not be In
the 'band of private Investera in small
amount. v
The clever manipulation of the pen in th
hand of this young man appear tit have
permitted wholesale currency of his bogus
paper and It will be strange If more notes
are not found In the hands of Innocent
purchasers who relied on the worth and
Integrity of the man back of the note rather
than on the genuineness of the man's sig
nature. Bad Fir at Ackley. -
