3. Hines was arrested at Waterloo by
United States Deputy Marshal Healey
and taken to Cedar Rapids to answer
a charge of attempting to eNade the
revenue laws. He was working IN
Waterloo and nearby country Tor
fraternal insurance order. He mailed
a check for $1i to man in Cedar
Rapids. but before doing so failed to

Davenport has another clam-peari
story, and this one is vouched for as
truth. This time it is Jack Bailey or
LeClaire. who is reputed to be the
lucky man. and 81 900 is given as the
purchase price of his find. Bailey is
a we'll known riyerman, who has been
"clanming'' for couple OF years
past. He was working clam bank
near Gordon's Ferry, ten miles below
Dubuque, and in passing the clam
shells from one kettle to another,
searching the meaty residue for slugs
and pearls, he found a clam with
something hard imbedded in the
meaty portion and a moment later
extricated a pearl as large as a pea:
The next day one of the members of
Howe Bros, jewelers. of Clinton. paid
81 900 for the pearl. which was out Of
Mississippi river clam.
A suit for $4,000 adds 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: "As result of the recent
trouble in the Finn case at Radcliffe
papers have been filed by Mr.. Finn
A. Muroy as damages for the aliena-
ton of plaintiffs wifc's affections,
also asking temporary order enioin-
ing any communication with Mrs.
Finn, who is now in the asylum at IN
dependence. The petition also asks
that the said temporary in. junction he
made permanent on final hearing.
Sheriff Mitterer served papers OH Mu-
roy at Hubbard friday Muroy is a
Mexican music teacher and is ma king
Iowa Falls his headquart ers, where he
is giving lessons.
John Fairgraves, the Valley juno
ton saloon1eeper. has taken a shot
at the Iowa statutes governing con-
tempt proceedings for violation of
liquor iniunctions. lie has filed an
amendment to his motion for a dis
charge of the case against him in the
Polk county court on the grounds
that the statute under which the pro-
ceedngs were brought is unconstitu-
tional and therefore void Fairgraves
holds that inasmuch IS 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 IL
\ ulCl0TN. IL Is Lux lDcI lltlu lIaG Tie
legislature has no power over sub
iects of contempt coming under jul
dicial branch of the government save
that it makes reasona bic 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 il JUNCTION where none
could issue at common law, to forbid
acts which the law denounces and
Furnishes as crimes, i'll order to pun
ish the repetition thereof as con-
tempt of court. 1t is claimed this
| method deprives the accused of a
| chance to prove his innocence by o
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
roller which was in a shed on Mon
tieth's farm. Gladson broke open a
lock and started to remove the roller,
when Mrs. Montieth protested and
Gladson struck her with his fist,
knocking her down. Montieth came up
to where the trouble was and Gladson
struck him with the single tree of a
wagon. Montieth secured shotgun,
fired one shot at Gla(ison 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 a 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 50. to which Montieth refused to
do. \ heated wrangle of words then
