Dubuque, Sept. 1.-THE case of the
German Catholics of Williams against
Archbishop Keane of Dubuque, will
come up for trial this week in the dis
trict court at Webster City. Attorney
w. J. Knights OF this city will repre-
sent the interests of the archbishop.
The case grows out of a misunder-
standing that arose between the Ger
man Catholics of Williams and the
late Archbishop Hennessey It seems
that the town of Williams is composed
of fair number of socalled German
Catholics and that they subscribed a
large amount for the building of a new
Catholic church on condition that
Archbishop Hennessey would give
them a priest who could speak both
the English and the German language.
