From Wednesdays Daily.

Jill w SuACSudy . builys
The trial of the damage case OF
Wayne Chodat, by his next friend,
Mrs. Lydia, Chodat, VS.. the Ottumwa
Electric & team Co. was commenced
in district court this afternoon. The
defendant is a boy of seven years, and
he claims damages in the sum OF
$1,000 for injuries received in street
car accident. Attorney B. w. Scott
is the plaintiffs representative and
Messrs. McNett and Tisdale, with
John w. Lewis of counsel, represent
the defendant company.
1t is alleged in the complaint that
the plaintiff was struck by the defend
ants car, No. Al, May IL, 1900, in the
east end of the city, while the plain
tiff was on his way to the Franklin
school, which he was attending; that
the car was running at higher rate
of speed than is allowed by the city
ordinances, and that the plaintiff was
in no way contributory to the affair.
1t is claimed that the lads collar bone
was broken, one arm hurt, and that
there were other injuries which justi-
fly him in making claim for $1,000.
The jury which heard the evidence
in the case of Carrie Caughlan VS..
Sheriff B. F. SHUTS, agreed on YER
dict during the night, which was de-
livered to the court, sealed, and read
at the opening of the session this
forenoon. 1t found for the defendant.

ottumwa Socialists Lop OF Part

THEY THINK IT VERY MISLEADI NC
Local Body Met Last Night and Talk
ed Matters over-A Party PubIica-
ton Thought Likelihood for OF
tumWa-opinions Expressed.

The Socialists club of ottumwa
met at Gillett's photograph gallery
pursuant to call, and there was a
much larger attendance than had been
anticipated. By reason OF the decl-
sion Of the members the list of Off
GERS elected will be withheld for the
present.
Various questions Of interest were
discussed and it was concluded tnat
the club should assume an independ-
emit attitude in it's relation to both
the national and state organizations
until such obligations shalt have har-
monized the existing differences, or
until the club is better informed as
to the intentions of these organize
lions. The word democrat as con-
nected with socialism, was dropped
by the local club, the name having
previously been Social Democrat"
It was decided that the word produces
prejudice in the public mind and is
misleading, having different applica-
lions.
Among other important points, the
publication of literature by the local
organization, was considered. and it
10 0cllh q SOSichAAoI Pe1pOi WAL koDoDAy
be published here in the near future.
It was concensus of opinion that So
cialists shall have no quarrel nor con-
tention with any political party and
that they will neither use nor tolerate
aggressive attacks upon any organiza-
ton or men. but will confine the work
of the club to the propaganda of SO.
cialism proper.
Public meetings will be arranged
for, with entertainment. in the near
future, and all parties sympathizing
with socialism will be invited to at
tend and cooperate with the club.
Until further notice future meetings
will be held Wednesday evening of
each week, at 8 o'clock, at Gillett's
gallery.
Al the Oska1oosa convention of Iowa
socialists, held last summer, resolu
tons were passed ignoring both ma
tional organizations until the existing
difficulties are settled, but they still
held to the name social democrat
to which the Ottumwa club objects
not seriously but as a prudential mat
ter.

COLONEL oLMsTEAD HERE.
Inspector General of Iowa National
Guard Talks for Courier.

Col. A. ]. Olmstead, of Des Moines,
inspector general of the Iowa Nation
al Guard, was in the city last night
enroute from Keokuk to his home.
Col. Olmstead has been in Keokuk for
the past three days and while there
mustered out of the service Company
"a" of that city. He will begin an
inspection of the 5Oth regiment some
time in January, but is as yet unable
to state just when, as he may inspect
the SD regiment before the 50th.
1t is apparent that conditions are
settling in the Iowa Guard and that
organization is being raised to the po-
sition 1t occupied before the Spanish
American war. Some papers turnout
the state have been saying that the
50th is in danger of disintegration, but
that is apparently a fabrication. The
only weak spot in the regiment, Com
pany ca of Keokuk, has been mus
tered out, and with several new towns
scrambling for it's place it Is apparent
that conditions have been strength.
ened.
For a time Iowa City looked little
shaky, but since that time Captain
Gardner, who was practicing medicine
in nearby town and could not give
his attention to guard matters
has resigned, and 1t is said former
Captain Cherry will be elected cap
tain at the election which is to be call
ed for the 9th inst. With Captain
Cherry in the harness again Company
II" will be raised to high standard
Bloomfield is apparently far in the
lead in the matter of securing the
place vacated by Keokuk, and it ID
understood General Byers will go To
that place soon to look the ground
over and see what the prospects are
According to Colonel Olmstead il
is very likely that the 51st and $40
regiments will go into camp together
next year, most likely at Council
Bluffs, and that the 49th and 50tf
will encampt at Davenport. Adjutanl
General Byers Will have charge of the
camp.

tumwa man. He was found in the
rear of the Burlington house in an un.
conscious condition. Among the things
found on his person was an old razor,
like the one that Marshall always used
as an eraser and as knife. The man
was taken to police headquarters
where he died, and as yet the remains
have not been identified. The de,

Marshall in other respects, even to a
wound on the head. Marshall was shot
while serving in the Confederate ar

MarshaIps Account Book.

MarshalI's Account Book.
Mrs. Marshall brought the. book
home with her, and an inspection of
this book shows that Marshall had
paid out that day for chickens and eX-
penses trifle over $50, leaving a cash
balance from the $3.50 he had with
him, of less than $64, as he had paid
a commission of S12 to Mr.. Griffith,
from whom the eleven coops of chick
ems were purchased. He had purchas-
ed a return ticket to Ottumwa, and
this item of expense also appears on
the account book.
A Sudden Disappearance.
The people at the restaurant, both
the woman who waited on him and the
proprietor, say that he was not under
the influence of liquor. Instead of
having purchased pint of whisky, he
had only half a pint in his pocket
and he is known to have taken but
one drink of this. His note book is
regarded as further confederation
of the claim that he was not drunk
because his writing is said to be as
perfect as any he ever executed, be-
ing on the lines and in his usual form.
Mrs. Marshall says that he was not
a drinking man, and his acquaintance
claim that he would seldom take more
than one drink. They say further that
he was not man who would mix
with strangers or mix much with COM
pany, and that if he met any foul play
that he was undoubtedly waylaid,
probably between the restaurant and
the depot at Eldon.
Wanted More Chickens.
The report comes from Eldon that
there was no fight about the depot
Friday or Saturday. 1t is reported
that there are many fought characters
at Eldon who would not hesitate to
rob man, but it is not believed that
Marshall showed his money down
there, as such a thing would have
been quite unnatural to him. Mrs.
Marshall says her husband has no
relatives in Burlington, but that he
has a brother, an internal revenue col.
lector, at Spokane, Washington. 1t
is said at Eldon that Marshall was
talking about getting in some other
chickens in addition to those shipped.
and that he might possibly have gone
to Seymour, Iowa, where he used to
live, and where he said he could get
some chickens.
The report that Marshall was seen
at the union depot here Friday night
after midnight, is denied by the fam
lily, as they claim the man who was
seen there did not have on an over
coat. 1t has always been Marshalps
custom when away from home, if de-
tanned longer than had been expected
to write to his folks. The absence OF
any such message is construed as
pointing to foul play and robbery. He
has been absent now six days. The
local police are doing everything pos.
sible and the marshal from Eldon is
expected in town to confer with the
officers here.

Mrs. Marshall, who was in Eldon
yesterday, returned home last night.
She made some important investiga-

tend to locate Mr.. Marshall. The

at the restaurant near the depot,
where he had supper and where he
also took dinner. He entered the res

meeting a reaper-trial was arranged tof,

At that time there were only three
reapers prominently before the farming
world These were the McCorE2lck, the
Hussey and the Burrill The latter was
a close imitation of the Hussey.
The early Mccormick reapers had not

Furthermore, that there is nc. conlpetl-

There is complete understanding among

This company, doing business on Il capt.
tai Of Geo coo. now operates dozen iron
furnaces in southern territory, principally

sired concessions, including exemption
from taxation for a period of five years,
the company, will proceed to establish the

to be erected WILL in all probability,
be shat to shelter the rollng-nill n,achin-
cry, as most of This machinery has been
on the grounds for month.
Rents have gone very high IN Er1stol,
on account OF the scarcity Of vacant resi-
dences The influx is such that the situa-
ton will hardly be relieved before fall.
Prepare tons ara being made for the
erection OF quite large number of resi-
dences. Some of the railroad men, it is
claimed, are finding it convenient to move
to Roanoke, III order to get the advantage
Of more reasonable rents.
It is now believed that the Abing-
don-Damascus Railway will be COM
pleted this year, and that it will
also be extended into East Tennessee,
in order to reach valuable minerals and
a fine body of timber. Mr.. Robert Gray, of
this city has been appointed chief cngin-
eer of the proposed extension. He left
this week to look over the route.
The sale of the Marion and Rye Valley
Railway to A. J. Perry, for the Virginia
Iron, Coal and Coke Company, has been
confirmed by the Hastings Court of this
city.
In response to a second call, Rev. J.
w. Porter, OF Maysville, has accepted the
pastorate of the First Baptist Church of
Bristol, and will be installed on the first
Sunday in April.
