question OF running, saloons In the
county was considered. The petition
was presented to the board Of super;

words the county was to have saloons.
AT the time OF the approving OF the,
petition by the supervisors of the
county the town of Terrill had not
been Incorporated. Since then. how
ever. 1t has been Incorporated and
this has brought on the complications.
In incorporated towns of less than
5000 inhabitants in order to have sa5
looms the mater has to be voted on
favorably by a majority of the voters
OF the county. In other words 1t re-
quires county petition. Since Terrill
was incorporated after the. approving
of the petition the inhabitants of the
place claim that the above petition does
not cover the town. Attorneys
Schmidt and Volimer claim that the
petition does cover the town and that
the consent of the legal voters to run
saloons in Terrill has been secured
This is new phase of the mulct law
and the action of the supreme court
will be watched, not only in Terrill but
all over the state.

CRAWFORD BRIDGE CASE.
Notable Suit for Damages Taken TO
Greene County on Change Of Venue.

Greene County on Change OF Venue.
Special to Times Republican.
Jefferson, Sept. CA case OF more
than ordinary Importance is now on
trial before the district court, Judge
Church presiding. 1t is the famous
Crawford county bridge case in which
McKoenig sues Crawford county for So
600 for injuries alleged to have been re-
ceived by reason OF the falling of a
bridge over which he was driving. The
case is brought to Greene county on a
change of venue, having been previously
decided in Crawford county In favor of
the defendant. The peculiar feature of
this case lies in the makeup of the
counsel. Congressman Conner repre-
rents the plaintiff and p. 2. C. Lally
the county. At the time the action was
originally brought the attorneys We're.
conducting separate law concerns; now
Messrs. Conner and Laly are partners.
Notwithstanding this fact each lawyer
is trying the case for oil there is in 1t
and IN him. The fact that the men are
at present partners is cutting no figure
in this case; in fact 1t seems to have
spurred each attorney on to do his level
best. A number of quite animated tits
have taken place, every point being con-
tended for to the last limit. In fact each
lawyer has found 1t necessary to call his
partner down in approved style on sew
eral occasions. It is thought the case
will be given to the jury tomorrow.
Judge Church has sentenced F. NJ. Mar
guess and Lewis Bridgeford to the peni-

4 RUSTY KEY.

"Smal things sometimes tell big tsles
and unravel mysteries of long standing"
said an old detective who has seen long
service in running down criminals in va
rious parts Of the country. THE most
singular case that ever fell under my care
was a case in which white man had
been murdered In some mysterious way,
and the body was put away and all eli.
forts to locate it were out of the ques-
ton. Suspicion fell on negro, and he
was arrested, but subsequently was re-
leased because OF the absence of proof to
connect him with the crime. The body
was missing, and it was certain that the
man had been murdered and robbed By
some person familiar with the surround
ings. The negro had worked for him,
but had been discharged because Of i'm
pudence.
Ten years lapsed. All interest in the
crime had died out. One day some negro
blackberry pickcrs came across a key
which hung on the limb of bush. Be-
cause of the growth of the bush the han
die Of the key was partially buried in
the limb. Right under the bush the ne
groes found the bleached and decaying
bones of human form. When the mat
ter was reported, was sent out to in.
vestignte the matter, and gathered up
the bones, cut the bush down and took
everything to the police station. We
went back over the list Of missing men.

the department who possessed a wonder

community and had by his industry
bought few acres of land on which
stood the house which had figured in the
mysterious disappearance ten years be-
fore. Cut that key out for me-, said the
captain, and it was cut out. He had q
consultation with the chief and, without
telling me where he was going, asked me
to 90 with him.
Eve Travelled about four miles and
drove up to little house late in the
evening. There was nobody at home. I
guess we might as well so In the captain
said. and, pulling the key from his pock-
ct, he showed it into the lock, turned it
and opened the door. We waited for the
negro after locking the door again, but
he never returned. The house was
watched all night, but the negro never
came. We grew suspicious and soon
learned that he had fed upon hearing of
the discovery in the brier patch. Flight
strengthened the evidence of his guilt.
BE was arrested in neighboring state,
returned, tried and convicted and finally
executed
The key which solved the mystery had
got caught in twig that sprung up in
the brier patch, and but for this fact the
mystery would have never been solved

Mason City, Sept. 6-The board of
supervisors are wrestling over the
lnulct saloon petition and one of the
questions which will probably be dis
scussed In the courts is whether the pc
titioners for the saloon have right to
demand withdrawal OF the petition
before the board can act. AT the last
city election there were 1.742 votes cast
and 1t required s72 names for the pc
tition for saloons to succeed. The pc
9 tition for saloons contained 1867 names,
but the anti saloon adherents claim
that 165 OF these should be stricken
s OF the list because Of repetition of the
same names and because of other
names appearing who did not vote
at the preceding election. There were
besides Is names taken off the petit
ton who changed their minds so
y that on the face of the returns the
mulct petition lacked 55 names to
carry. When the board had taken up
the matter of canvassing the names
and had proceeded half hour Alder
man ]. ]. Burns and j. E. q. Markley,
attorney, appeared and requested that
the petition be withdrawn from the
board. The county attorney objected
s on the ground that two men could not
withdraw the signatures Of over 1000
names, and that after the board had
commenced the canvass it could not
be stopped. The intent of the with
drawal of the petitioners was; evidently
to gain further time. as the failure Of
this petition prevents any further att
tempt to introduce the open saloon
here for q year. The board will be
governed largely by the result of the
county attorneys advice in the case
4; and az he has been active in defeating
the petition and has been pretty care
ful In his canvass of the list there
5 seems no doubt but that the board will
lind the petition lacking the requisite
