Norwegian Dodges Bullet, Nels Stenland, a Norweglan, 18 years of age, rushed into the police station minus his cap and shoes and breathless from ex- citement and fear. He had been visiting friends in Omaha on his way from St. Paul, Minn., to Dakota, and came over to the Bluffs to see the sights. He lost his moor- ings and wandered off west of the Iilinols Central depot. He knocked at the door of a houso and asked in which direction Council Blufts lay. Hls appearance fright- ened the man of the house, who, after warning him to get away as quick as pos- sible, took a shot at him with a revolver. Stonland sald the bullet passed so close to him he almost felt it. In his excitement he lost his cap and fearing pursult he threw off his shoes and started on o run in his stocking feet. Some one directed him to the police station. Owing to hls unfamiliarity with the Eng- lish language the police had a hard time getting the story from him and were unable 10 locate the street where he clalms he was shot at.

Ounningbam Bays He Has No Fear but He Will Got the Dollars. INSISTS COUNTY MUST KEEP CONTRACT i Fee on Two Cases Reported Fri- day Will Amount to $3,000 and He Filed Notices of More Din- coveries Snturday. F. M. Cunningham, the “tax ferret," filed with County Auditor Innes yesterday two notices of alleged discoveries by him of personal property which has been withheld or omitted from assessment for a period covering the five years from 1896 to 1600 inclusive. He also filed notices with County Treasurer Arnd in two other cases of his alleged discoveries In the first rotice auditor is included pro ing amounts: In 1866, $54,727; 1807, $51,755; 1868, $16, 1899, $43.4 1900, $47,924 making an aggregate for the five years of $244,233. In the second notice Cunningham claims to have discovered that a resident of this city had for the period of five years mentloned $5.500 loaned out on mortgages in Muscatine county, this state, which has never been assessed in this county. In one of the notices served on County Treasurer Arnd Cunningham listed prop erty to the following amounts: 1596, § 780; 1807, $28,280; 1898, $11,280; 1800, $20,880 1900, $26,610, making a total for the fiv years of §113830. In the other case he claims that property of a certain estate representing $36,260 has been omitted from assessment for the four years from 1896 to 1899 inclusive. In the first case the alleged owner of the property claimed to have been omitted from assessment s a resident of Avoca. Treasurer Arnd has fixed January 18 for the hearing in both these cases As the rate of taxation for the last five years in Pottawattamie county has been ap- proximately 6 per cent on a valuation of 25 per cent, it will be readily seen that Cunningham will receive remuneration run- ning into the thousands of dollars should the property listed by him be placed on the tax books and he paid the 50 per cent as provided In his contract with the board of county supervisors. His fee in the two cases alone reported to the county treas- urer Friday would amount to about $3,000. Cunningham stated yesterday that he had no fear that the county would be compelled to live up to its contract with him. A “tax ferret” law similar to that of this state, he said, existed in Indiana and the court there recently held that the 50 per cent contract such as he holds here was valid and binding flled with the county erty to the follow- Davis sells paint.

Jessle Kerr, Judge Smith McPherson of the United States court has handed down his decision overruling the motion of the plaintiff for a trial in the suit of Mrs. Jessie Kerr | against the Modern Woodmen of America and ordering judgment for the defendant on the verdict. The case was tried at the September term of federal court in this clty Mrs, Kerr sued for $3,000 insurance on the life of her husband, James Kerr, who |at the time of his death was a resident of Manilla, Ia. The claim was resisted | by the Modern Woodmen of America on the grounds that Kerr committed sulcide, The evidence brought forth at the trial de- ve'oped that Kerr, who was prominent in church, soctal and lodge circles, had led a double life and that on the day of his death, oflicers from Missourl were walting with a | warrant for his arrest on the charge of gamy. Kerr had asked the officers for permission to go to his room on the | second floor of his home to arrange his private affairs and had retired for this pur- | pose when a shot was heard. Kerr was | found lying dead with a bullet through his | head and a revolver in his right hand. His wife contended that the shooting was | accidental Kerr's death developed the fact that he | formerly lived in Canada, where he married the plaintift in this suit. After a short period of married life he left his wife and came to America and fn Sullivan county, Missouri, married the daughter of a farmer without having gone through the formality of securing a divorce from his wife in Canada. In Missouri Kerr became prom- | tnent in church and social circles, but after living there several years, during which a mily was born to him, he deserted his vife and children and returned to Canads and became reconciled to his first wife. Later, with her, he returned to America and finally settled in Manllla, Ta., where he engaged in the business of raliroad bridge contractor. The relatives of his family in Missourl discovered by chance his where- abouts and & warrant was lssued for his arrest. It was while the Missour! officers were at his house that his death took place as described. The policies of the Modern Woodmen of America provide that it a man dies by his own hand, whether sane or insane, it in- vali‘ates the policy and 1t was on this clauss and the presumption that Kerr took his own life that the defense relied. Judge McPherson's ruling settles the case, unless the plaintiff should take the case on appeal to the supreme court of the United States. 280. Gravel roofing. A. H. Read, 641 Broadway. new N. Y.

Special.)—The council and the city marshal, Carl Wissler, are having a heated discussion over the question of the collection of the dog tax The city has an ordinance providing that the city marshal shall make such collec- tions, but it has always remained more or less of a dead letter, only a very few paying. This year the marshal informed the council that it was useless to try to collect the tax and that if he was to do it he wanted the council to stand between him and any trouble that might arise. The council has refused to do this and Mr. Wissler has re- fused to attempt the collections, clainving that It he goes to shooting dogs whose own- ers refuse to pay he and his bondsmen will have numerous damage suits on their hands. This has been his conclusion after consulta- tlon with the attorneys. At a council meet ing Thursday evening a resolution was passed instructing him to make the collec- tions, and he informed the council that he positively refused to do Ii unless the city | Would stand behind him In the matter. ey Soclety's Banquet.

PLANNING AHEAD FOR SHAW Denison Man to Be Boomed for Third Term as Governor, TO THE PRESIDENCY STEPPING-STONE Another Term Would Retain Him Un- til Time to Enter Co; tional Honor—Friends Argue That He Has Good Start. DES MOINES, Jan. G.—(Speclal.)—That Governor Leslie M. Shaw of Denison is a candidate to succeed himself for third term and that he at least quletly acquiesc in the efforts of his friends and adn to keep his name before the public in this connection is now apparent to all. The newspapers, which usually have insids in- | formation in regard to the political ma- | chinery, are busy discussing the next candi- date for governor and use the name of the present exccutive frecly. The movement received a start when Governor Shaw was honored with the invitation to deliver the leading address at the Washington capitol centennial, Since then there has been a great deal of discussion of the name of Shuw in the Iowa newspapers and the names of others who are supposed to be aspirants for high honors at the hands of the party. The list of possible candidates is a large one. On behalf of Governor Shaw it is being urged that he has within him the making of presidential timber and If he s renominated and elected to a third term, which would take him over to the time for nominating the next president, the prestige thus given him would go far toward bring- ing the nomination to lowa.
