Her husband, an old man who had
reached the age of seventy-one years,
succumbed to the same memorable di-
sease at O'Clock yesterday morning,
and the grief of his mourning relatives
and friends was made doubly hard to
bear by the demise, twenty-siX hours
afterward. of his devoted wife.
1t had been planned to conduct the
funeral services over the remains of
Mr.. Porter this morning, but the death
of his wife caused change of this
plan and it has been decided to take
the remains of husband and wife TO
Blakesburg, where son resides, and
to hold the funeral services for both
at that place tomorrow.
MI. and Mrs. Porter are old resi-
dents of Wapello county, and the sad
state of affairs is cause for grief OF
their many friends here and elsewhere
They are survived by two daughters
and three sons as follows: Mrs. Eve
lima Names, of Moravia; Mrs. Sarah
Elizabeth Davis, of Omaha; William
r. Porter, of Blakesburg; John H.
Porter of Abba; and Thomas d. Por-
ter, of Belknap, Neb.

GETS TEN MONTHS
Charles Pasnau Sentenced for Part
in Grips Outrage.
WILL PROBABLY APPEAL THE CASE
Matter Not Definitely Decided Upon
Court Room Was crowded-Judge
Sloan Scores Mongoven for His Part
in AssauIt-AppeaI Bond Fixed.

Ten months in the county Jail at
hard labor is the sentence passed up
on Charles Pasnau. this morning by
Judge Sloan for the part he took in
the assault at Grips Bros livery barn
April II last, and for which crime two
of his companions Henry Mongoven
and Lewis Jones are now under sen
tence of five yestfs each in the peni-
Tertiary. There was large crowd
present when the time came for the
court to pass sentence, more interest
having been manifested than at any
time since the last term of court. 1t
is probable that 'Pasnau will take an
appeal to the supreme court, but to-
day J. ]. Smith, one of his co nsel,
said the matter Mad not been fully de-
cided upon. The appeal bond was
fixed at $500.
Large Crowd.
The court roolp was we'll filled when
court convened this morning, and all
were eager to learn the penalty that
would be given to the man, who it has
been claimed all along was the leader
of the outrage last spring. Pasnau's
attorneys prepared motion for new
trial alleging eIYors in trial of the
case and errors i'm instructions, etc. 1t
was merely a formal motion, and was
overruled by Judge Sloan in a few
words. The COURT then passed SEN
tence upon the defendant.
PASSES Sentence.
He reviewed the history of the two
previous trials VERY briefly. He said
intoXication was no excuse for the
commission Of d crime. He said
there was no reasonable doubt of the
guilt of the accused. He said the jury
had only brought in a verdict of as.
sault with intent to commit great bod
| fly injury, and he had no right to go
beyond that verdict. He said it was
very aggravating case, not only was
| it the intent, but the deed was done.
OF the two parties sent to the peni-
tertiary, Jones probably did the most
mischief, as he stabbed Houston and
broke Grips arm with a club. AS to
the other man, (Mongoven) Judge
Sloan said it was great surprise
| that he did not stop the trouble. He
was sober. He said that there was no
doubt that Pasnau was there with a
gun, and to the extent of his being in
toxicated it made mo difference. He
said he did not feel that he could
make light sentence in the case, and
concluded by sentencing Pasnau to
ten months in the county Jail at hard
labor. 1t was stated by Pasnau's
counsel that he had served 81 days in
Jail at the time of the commission of
the crime. and this was evidently TAX
en- into consideration by the court.
The appeal bond was fixed at $500.
