M. McFarland, secretary of state, is in the city looking up certain matters con- nected with the estate of Willlam Parks, who has been dead for more than twenty years, but whose money, to the amount of $3,000, is still on deposit in the First Na- tional bank of this city. There is a ro- mantic story connected with Parks, which is known probably to very few, even of those who knew him in this city during the 60s and 70s. He came to Council Bluffs in 1863, from St. Joseph, Mo., and hired out as a teamster for Edward Creighton, who was then engaged In building the first over- land telegraph system between this city and | the south. During the winter, while the men were hauling poles from the mountains in Wyo- ming, they were caught in a blg storm. They cut their oxen loose and escaped there selves on foot, leaving the animals behind, as they supposed, to die in the snow and jce. When the springtime came they were back and were surprised to find that the oxen had In tome way managed to weather the storm, and.were sleek and well fed, as though they had lived on the fat of the land all winter. This surprising discov- ery led Creighton to think that there might be a fortune in raising cattle, and he went at it, putting Parks, who was very shrewd, although illiterate, on a ranch in Wyoming as his manager. A man named Frazer was installed as Parks' assistant, One day Fra- zer pretended to be sick, and lay abed while Parks got breakfast. While Parks was stooping over, Frazer, who had trans, ferred all the guns of the ranch to his bunk, shot him in the back and killed him instantly. Frazer had learned that Parks had some money on deposit in gome bank, for he had kept all his books for him, and his evident intention was to Kill him, get the certificates of deposit cashed, and skip Mr. and Mrs. T.

IRON TRADE REV1E Better Feeling Maulfeat, and Contracts Helng Made at Advanced Prices. CLEVELAND, Dec. 6—The Iron Trade Review this week says: Although Decem- ber is usually marked' by halting business and a general waiting for hew year develcp- ments, its first week has ghown goodly sales of steel and iron. Chicago seems to lead, the central west has been somewhat less active and the minimurh of activity appears in the east. Reports agree that purchases of foundry irons have been expanding in the past four weeks and the. riamber of buyers willing to contract far into 159 has In- creased, as signs have wppeared that the tendency was upward rather than a con- tinuation cf the decline that has been prac- tically without interruption in the past two years. Prices are easy in spite of the better Jemand, the strong statistical position of coke iron up to December 1 and the im- probability of any appreciable increase for some time in the capacity of furnace acs tivity either north or south. The situation as to Bessemer iron is not clearly devel- oped. There are some few sales, including January delivery, on a basis of $10.40 to $10.50. Pittsburg, and the coke uncertainty i nol to as great an extent a handicap as in the past three weeks. In the central west some vessel material has been bought and more is hanging fire. Inquiries from car shops have imparted ore life to the western trade, but the mills robbery, and may all be held for murder, They assulted and robbed Michael Kinney, who stands but few chances of living. Part of the stolen money was taken from the prisoners, all cf whom have confessed, seem to have lost all assertion on prices. Had & Wife In Nebraska Already.

GRAND ISLAND, Neb., Dec. 6.—To the Editor of The Bee: Permit me through the columns of your paper to make a correction of the publication which appeared in your Tuesduy's issue in regard to the cause of the sickness of Mr. Thomas Connor, agent of the B. & M. railroad at this city, and his mental condition at that time. The report of that issue does him an injus- tice, and it not corrected might be detri- mental to him in the future. He had been on a pleasure trip through the south, and while there contracted malarial fever, with its usual results, such as delirium and disturbance of the nervous system. He had not had suf- ficient rest and nourishment for a period of two weeks. His aberration of mind mani- fested on his return home was not unusual following this condition. There was not at that time, nor has there been any cause for such report as appeared in your Tuesday issue. His present condition is entirely satisfac- tory, and verifies the above statement.
