Abba, Ia, Jan, 21:. 1:.-tspecial)-At = 10
o'clock yesterday morning, before Judge
Elchelberger in the district court, began
what promises to be one OF the most eensa-
tional and hotly contested murder trials ever
held in southern Iowa. II is the trial OF
Elmer Il. Daugherty and DR.. s. NJ. King
charged with the murder of Daugherty'a
wife. Ella Ruffner was the daughter OF
Mr. and Mrs. Ruffner,' who formerly ran
the Cramer house in this city now conduct
ing a hotel at Des Molnes. Miss Ruffner
was popular when she lived in Abba, rs
were her people. Elmer Daugherty Is the
son OF Il. Daugherty, a prominent furniture
man and an old resident Of the city. While

young man, and at college, at Mount Pleas

two years; they seemed 10 hold each other

once, however, less than TWO years ago, the
public was startled with the announcement
Of the separation OF Elmer Daugherty and

conducting hotel at Knoxville and lived
with them for a year. Then the people OF
Abba were again surprised by a recon-
citation between Elmer Daugherty
and his wife. Mr. Daugherty went
to Knoxville and brought his wife back to
Abba and for time they seemed to live
the same happy couple and he seemed to
nave become the same moral man that he
was considered when he first married Ella

is alleged that Mrs. Daugherty was allowed
TO lie In bed upstairs over AnderSons gro,

and uncared for. Thursday morning, Sep
tember 26, the woman died
The coroner held an inquest and the
stories OF Daughetty and Dr. King were
contradictory. Or. King said as a phy-i-
clan, that he believed the death was caused
by congestion of the stomach. He next ad-
mitted. in his testimony, that there were
traces of poison, and when asked some ques-
tions in relation to the personal condition
OF Mrs. Daugherty, denied that such thing
was possible. A pOgt-mogtem examination
however, showed the condition of deceased's
stomach Of the best. and that her death
was probably caused by drugs administered
for criminal purpose. The coroner's jury
also learned that Elmer Daugherty had
taken out life insurance policy of $4,000
known as a joint policy. If he should die
first his wife would procure It, and If she
was to die first he would secure 1t. These
facts, with the evidence to show to the
satisfaction of the coroner's jury the in
difference and even positive neglect shown
by Daugherty to his wife during her illnese,
made the coroner's jury, on the seventh
day, bring in verdict charging that death
was caused by Elmer Daugherty and Dr.
S. NJ. King. They were arrested bound

LOCKOUT OF MINERS IS AvERTED.
Men Agree TO Divide Time so that All
MMN nmNc % Chnnoe to Work..


DES MONIES, Jan. 21.-(Specal Tele-
gram.) about 300 miners, representing all
the mines in this district, met today and re-
solved that the contract price of so cents
for mining is as low as they can work for,
and that the operators of the mines that
have been paying this rate ought to employ,
as far as possible, those thrown out by
the mines that have locked out their men.
conference was held with the operators,
who agreed with the expression of the reso-
luton. They also agreed that the miners
who were locked out at Oak Park shall be
put back at work at 20 and so cents, but
the Oak Park management refused to grant
this. The men will be given work so far
as possible in others mines, the
other miners agreeing to divide
work with them so that all will have a
chance on this agreement ii is believed
the lockout will be averted. The operators,
however, have not adjusted their disagree
ment as to prices OF coal, which caused
the trouble. The large companies that cut
prices have refused again to restore prices,
and so long as this is the case renewal
OF trouble Is expected at any time. The
present situation is that all the mines that
insisted on the reduced price are closed
and cannot get miners If the others re-
store scheduled these will open again, and
the price war will be resumed. About 1000
miners in the district were on the verge of
going out, and would have done SO, closing
every mine in the district today, but for
the patched-up agreement effected.
