A suit for $4,000 adds q new chap
ter to the Finn-Muroy sensation that
developed in Hardin county several
weeks ago, resulting in the disruption
of the Finn home at Radcliffe, and
the commitment of Mrs. Finn to the
state ASYLUM at Independence. Speak
| ing of the new case, the Enterprise
| saws: CAS- a result of the recent
trouble in the Finn case at Radcliffe
papers have been filed by Mr.. Finn
with Clerk Meader asking $4,000 OF
A. Muroy as damages for the allena-
ton of plaintiffs wife's affections,
also asking q temporary order en.Ioin-
| ing any communication with Mrs.
Finn. who is now in the asylum at In

| that the said temporary injunction be
| made permanent on final hearing.
Sheriff Mitterer served papers on Mu-
roy at Hubbard Friday" Muroy is
| Mexican music teacher and is making
Iowa Falls his headquarters, where he
| is giving lessons.
John Fairgraves, the Valley juno
ton saloonkeeper. has taken shot
at the Iowa statutes governing con-
! tempt proceedings for violation of
| liquor injunctions. He has filed an
| amendment to his motion for dis
charge of the case against him in the
Polk county court on the grounds
| that the statute under which the pro-
| ceedings were brought is unconstitu-
| tional and therefore void. Fairgraves
| holds that inasmuch as the courts are
created by the constitution of the
state, the power and jurisdiction in
herent in the courts is wholly de-
rived from the constitution, existing
for the purpose of protecting the jul
dietary. 1t is further held that the
| legislature has no power over SUBJ
| iects of contempt coming under q jul
dicial branch of the government save
| that it makes reasonable regulations
| concerning procedure in cases of con-
| tempt: that the act is an invasion by
one of the coordinate branches of the
government and of exclusive province
| and Jurisdiction of another branch.
The statute is attacked from another
point on the grounds that it attempts
to authorize an injunction where none
| could issue at common law, to forbid
acts which the law denollnces and
| Furnishes as crimes, in order to pun
ish the repetition thereof as a con-
tempt of court. 1t is claimed this
! method deprives the accused of q
chance to prove his innocence by q
jury trial
A murder occurred seven miles west
of Lovilla in Monroe county a few
days ago, when John Montieth shot
and instantly killed his UNCLE Fill
more Gladson. The trouble arose over
a roller which was in q shed on Mon
tieth's farm. Gladson broke open a
when Mrs. Montieth protested and

knocking her down. Montieth came up
to where the trouble was and Gladson
struck him with the single tree of a
wagon. Montieth secured a shotgun,
fired one shot at Gladson and killed
him. Gladson was of a quarrelsOme,
ugly disposition and this is not his
first trouble. Montieth gave himself
up to the officers. Montieth is twenty
years of age and has been married
one year. 1t seems that Montieth had
borrowed corn planter from Glad
son and during the time he had it he
broke the marker. After trying to
procure one at Marysville and being
unsuccessful he sent to Columbia and
got one, which did not seem to be as
good as the one broken, and Gladson
wanted Montieth to pay difference
of So. to which Montieth refused tC
do. \ heated wrangle of words then
