holds court. His failure to be present
to open court Monday was due to sick
ness in his family.

Juneau, Wis, July 2.-The demo-
cratic county convention to elect dele
gates to the state convention and to
the congressional district convention,
respectively, has been called to meet
here July 2. There is no active move
ment against Mr.. Barwig's renomina-
ton. Candidates for the state senate
are getting quite numerous and the
Wisconsin contingent in Washington
are working actively for the nomina-

the thirty-third district.

Chairman Thorn has called meeting

during which time his case was taken
to the supreme court, where the juds-
ment was reversed and the cause re-
manded for new trial. Allen was
then brought back to Clark county.
where he secured bail and had his
liberty for several months. James
ONeill was appointed by Judge Bailey

prosecution. The matter came I'D at
the December term, 1893, at which
time the prosecution moved to amend
the old information. The motion was
granted and the case went over the
term, and the matter was finally set
for trial at the special term commenc-
ing June Is.
At the last December term of court
bondsmen turned him
over to the authorities and procured
their release, since which time he has
been confined in the county Jail.
Mrs. Wright has never been prose

the first trial of Allen. She is of Ger

THE LODI TROUBLE.
LIQUOR QUESTION STIRS THE
VILLAGERS.
Madison, July 3.

Madison, July 3.
In the circuit court Monday, the
case of the state against the village
board, of Lodi, and Messrs. Clements,
Dearborn and Flint was argued.
The facts are briefly these:
On the first Tuesday of April, 1898,
| in accordance with the provisions of
the local option laws of the state an
election was held at Lodi to decide
the question of license" or mo IL
cense." No license received majori-
ty of the votes cast and no licenses
were granted during the year follow
ing.
At the proper time on the first Tues
day of April, this year, after due
petition notice and other steps, the
same question was again submitted
to the people of Lodi. This time the
vote was a tie-1O6 votes for and 1O6
votes against. May l, 1894, the regu-
lar village election was held. Two
tickets were voted, one headed mo
license" and the other license" The
license ticket received Il majority of
the votes cast, and the village board
elected was favorable to licensing Sa-
looms. This board has granted license
permits to Alfred Clements. J. c. Dear
born and Hiram Flint, each having
filed the proper bond and promising to
pay the license fee of $3.50. June u,
1894, upon petition and affidavit set
ting forth the above facts and praying
for equitable relief; Judge Siebecker
granted temporary injunction re-
straining the village board from grant
ing any further licenses during the
tendency of the action or until the
further order of the court, and for
bidding the sale or traffic in any IL
quors by any of the other three named
defendants for such time.
Monday morning argument was heard
on the main question of the complaint
viz. the authority of the present vii
lage board to issue licenses and also 10
whether the injunction should be made
permanent or dissolved. The court
decided that the cause of action was
well founded as to the election point,
holding that the decision of the cleo
ton of April, 1893, was still binding;
because the tie vote of April, 1894,
was simply a nullity and in no wise
affected the question and the May cleo
ton did not comply with the local OPP
ton requirements and hence was of
no effect in changing the prohibition
law then in force
The court dissolved the injunction,
holding that there was adequate rem
edy at law. by proceedings in abate-
ment of the saloons as public nuis-
ances where liquor was sold lin vio-
lation of law'-and by criminal pros
ecution of the saloon-keepers for sell
ing without valid license and unlaw-
fully,
This is a victory for the mo license"
people, although they were defeated in
the remedy they had chosen. The vii
lage board is held to have no authority
to grant licenses and all saloon-keep-
ers sell liquors ut their peril and their
places of business will be shut up as
public nuisanceS. John NJ. Olin was
counsel for the plaintiff and Chyno-
weth & lfliegler for the defendants.

Conclusion of Most Sensational Muir
der Trial.

Nellsville. Wis, July The trial
of the Allen murder case, which has
occupied ten days, was concluded by
the jury, bringing in verdict in thirty
minutes of not guilty.
Daniel Allen, the defendant, was Il
married man about forty-tive years Of
age who for many years had lived
with his wife on farm in the town Of
ing members of the Methodist church
in his locality, and had the respect
and confidence of all his neighbors.
In 1854 Henry Wright and Margaret
his wife, moved into Aliens neighbor-
hood. The Allen and Wright families
soon became intimate friends. Allen's
wife was an invalid. In the spring of
1856 Wright was taken sick. but his
illness was not considered serious. AL
len attended Wright as a nurse Il por
ton of the time and sat up nights
with him occasionally. Wright grew
gradually worse and about May 10 he
died and was buried in the Loyal
cemetery Allen sat up with Wright
the night preceding his death. and
both Allen and Mrs. Wright attended
the funeral. A short time thereafter
neighbors began to suspect that az.
undue intimacy existed between Allen
and Mrs. Wright, which coupled with
other circumstances, aroused their suS-
picions as to Wrights death. 1t was
thought that there We're indications of
poisoning. The matter was quietly in
vestigated and a month or more after
the death, the body was exhumed by
direction of Dist.-Atty. Sturdevant
and the stomach taken to Prof. Haines
of Chicago for chemical analysis. 1t
was found to contain arsenic In quite
large quantities, Allen and Mrs.
Wright were both placed under ar
rest and bound over to the circuit
court. In the spring of 1887 the trial
of Allen took place. Dist.-Atty. j. L.
Campbell assisted by 5. n. Dickinson

veyed to her clandestinely during their
confinement in Jail. These letters in
dictated that Allen was deadly in love
with Mrs. Wright and probably We're
the strongest and most important evil
dence produced by the prosecution.
The information on which Allen was
tried charged him with murder in the
first degree. Judge Newman charged
the jury that II Allen was found guilty
at all 1t must be of murder In the
first degree. The jury found Allen
guilty. but the form of verdict which
they had been furnished with read
