LIBEL CHARGED
Agent for a Portrait Company
Gets Into Trouble.

Arson Peck, of Waverly, delivery
and collecting agent fora Portrait
Company, got into 3 peculiar scrap
in Mahaska county the other day and
has caused considerable trouble He
was charged with libel and was ar
rested on a warrant issued from the
Ross court. After a full explanation
Of the matters involved he was re-
leased.
Peck delivered a portrait to II. R.
Harris Of the father of the family r.
O. Harris, deceased. The portrait
was unsatisfactory and was refused
The agent left the Harris place north-
west Of the city and proceeded to the
nextplace Of delivery. 1t seems that
when portraits are sent to agents the
agents r charged with the portrait
and are given credit when the cash
for the same is remitted. In ease the
portrait is refused the agent cuts out
the eyes of the portrait and RENTS
these in lieu of cash and thereon re-
ceives the credit. 1t is not deemed
necessary to return the entire por-
trait, When the Harris portrait was
refused Mr.. Peck took the picture
from the frame in which it had been
placed and cutting out the eyes as
had been his custom he threw the
remainder into some high weeds and
proceeded on his way. Some one
found the defaced portrait and placed
it on a fence exposed to the public.
Mr.. Harris was informed that his
fathers portrait, cut and defaced, was
stuck up on the public highway. He
supposed that this had been done by
the agent on account of the refusal
to take the picture. He came to the
city, consulted attorneys and goingto
a JUSTICES Office filed an information
against the man, charging libel. Nh.
Peck was found and arrested and bond
was secured for his appearance in the
sum of $500. Burrell & Dewitt defend
ed the gentleman, Bolton and Lafferty
were for the prosecution. A full ex-
PLANTATION of the case was made, and
the gentleman proving that there vas
no malice intended in his acts and
showing that he had in his possession
a large number of eyes that had been
cut from refused portraits, an order
from the prosecution for the release
of the defendant was secured.
Mr.. Peck asserts that it will be a
lesson to him andthat hereafter when
he cuts credit marks from unsatis-
factory portraits he will take care to
entirely destroy the defaced picture
in place of throwing it away.
