Murder Case on Trial at Ottumwa Produces
Contradictory Evidence.

Murder Case on Trial at Ottumwa PRODUCES
Contradictory Evidence.
OTrUMwA, February 3.-The case OF
the state VS.. John Rama for man
slaughter is now on in the district
court. Rama shot and killed Ed
Rutherford a few weeks ago, and
claims that it was done in self-defense.
Rutherford's brother, who was with
him at the time he was killed, says
that he and the deceased were driving
to Ottumwa on load of wood The
defendant was walking to town ahead
Of them. Rutherford testified that
when he and his brother drove near
Rama they stopped their horses and
the man afterwards killed got down
off the load of wood and cried, Say,
John He stated that Rama then
turned around and without word
pointed a revolver at Rutherford, who
then climbed upon the wagon, when
Rama said: II will get you yet, and
pointing the revolver at him fired.
Physicians were placed upon the stand
who testified that the course OF the
bullet was down and outward, which
would show that Rutherford was not
in the wagon when shot, as his brother
testified. The indications are that
Rama will be acquitted on the grounds
of self-defenSe.

THE NEWS in IOWA
REsuBMlssloN DISCUSSED.
Meeting of the Iowa state Temperance

Meeting of the Iowa State Temperance
League Mt Des Moines.
DIES MONIES, February 5.-A meeting
Of the Prohibitory Amendment League
was held here for the purpose OF dis
cussng the proposed constitutional
amendment. l.. s, Coffin presided.
Senator Rowen said he believed the
legislature would resubmit the amend
ment. Representative Funk said he
feared that if the amendment was
submitted next year it would meet
with defeat, but he would vote for
resubmission, and believed ii the
resolution was voted on now it would
carry. Mrs. Aldrich said men, unlike
women, held party interests above
principle. She believed not to pass
resubmission was a concession to the
LIQUOR interests. Mr.. Campbell said
the real danger was in the passage OF
a manufacturer law. Funk said he
would sacrifice everything else to
defeat the manufacturers bill. Senator
Kilbourne said he would regard it as
an act of bad faith for any republican
who two years ago voted for resubmis-
sion to vote against it now. Mrs. n.
M. Smith scored the republican party
FORTS attitude on prohibition. Senator
Young said he would ask the legislature
not to pass resubmission, but to defeat
manufacturing Representative Van
Honten said he would oppose man
and resubmission.

QUEER TRACT OF LAND.
Peculiar Condition OF Affairs In Cla:

- County. @
Fort DODGE, February 6.-Clay
county is the possessor of township
that beats the, record for irregular
congressional tracts of land. There
are several quarter sections in it
containing several hundred acres and
many that contain less than fifty acres.
John Parsons, of Fort Dodge, knows
this, and has studied over it more than
any one. He has gone SO far in search.
ing for the cause as to inquire what
party was in power at the time the
survey was made, SO that he might
curse it as long MS he Lives. Mr..
Parsons traded for IT'S acres of land in
that mirage of township couple OF
years ago, and about week ago he
traded the same land to Messrs.
Meservey and Merritt, of Fort Dodge.
Those gentlemen learned that appear,
ances up there We're deceitful. They
had the land surveyed, and it measured
6121s acres, being over $50 acres short.
AS the land is worth $25 per acre, it is
loss of 81, 200 to Mr.. Parsons.

ALL OVER THE WORLD
+ -
IN CUBA.

>HAvANA, February 4.-Only brief
items about insurgent operations in
sPinar del Rio, the most westerly of
Cuba's five provinces, have been cabled
from here, Taken separately, they
have given only a vague idea of what
has occurred during the last three
weeks. Now that the conquest Of the
province by the insurgents has prac-
tically been completed, a review of the
campaign may not be uninteresting.
1t will be remembered that when
Maxine Gomez and Antonio Maceo,
with two large columns of mounted
men, invaded Havana province. coming
almost to the gates Of the capital city,
and burning canefields, destroying
railway bridges, stations and cars all
over the province, the two rebel leaders
separated at Pinar del Rio. Gomez
passed the line of troops thrown across
the island south of this city, and Maceo
began the conquest of the western
provinces. Spanish official reports
have had him fleeing before the
columns of General Luque, General
Navarro and General Arizon, and being
driven toward the jumping off place at
the west end of the island. According
to these reports, Maceo's band has
been defeated many times. As mat
ter of fact, he entered the province
with 1000 men, and he now has 5000.
A n
equipped. He also has plenty of.
ammunition. He obtained 1900
rounds at Canabas and a large quantity
atsGuano.
y HAVANA, February 4.-Despite the
earnest efforts of Gen, Marin, Gomez
has pushed his way through the wall
of troops and has met Maeeo in Havana
province.
MADRlD, February 5.-In an inter
view at Corunna, just after his arrival
there, Gen. Campos, late captain gen
eral of Cuba, declared it imperative
that the troubles in Cuba should be
ended, either by force of arms or the
granting of reforms, comprising even
Cuban autonomy, if necessary. Cuba,
he said, could no longer provide the
money necessary for the expenses of
further warfare.
HAVANA, February 6.-The Madrid
correspondent of La Discussion sends
word that Campos, in an interview,
said: .Weyler will accomplish no
more. not less than |. But in case he
fails he will not be relieved. Having
been appointed by the conservative
party and backed by the liberal party,
only a great and unexpected catas-
trophe could bring about his removal. "
