FOUND GUILTY.
Jury Returns Verdict in the
Crawford Case.

The jury in the case of the State vs
f. E. Crawford, of New Sharon, re-
turned Saturday evening at 9:45 o.
clock with a verdict of guilty as
charged in the indictment, having
been out from 1880 Saturday morn
ing.
The verdict was quite surprise to
every one who has known of the evil
dence connected with the case and it
was surprise to the court himself.
The case in the first place came near
being taken from the jury and the in
structions leaned toward acquittal.
The indictment covered about
twenty type written pages, the first of
which was 10 the effect that the de-
PENDANT was charged with obtaining
moneyGunder false pretense.
This was the second trial of the ac-
cused. q The first trial resulted in a
verdict of guilty as charged" and
the verdict was set aside by Judge
Scott on the grounds that the evil
dence did not warrant a verdict of
guilty.
Judge Blanchard of the defense will
file a motion asking for new trial,
and tits very,likely, in the face of the
instructions of the court that the same
will be allowed.

GETS MEDALS.
oskalooaa High School Wins
Three Medals at Grinnell.

The State High school field meet at
Grinnell Friday was one of the best
ever given in the history of the as
ISOLATION. About fifteen schools were
represented and the scores were un-
usually high. The records in the pole
vault, shot put, q mile bike, and
discus throw were all raised several
notches, and it will probably be some
time before they have another such
raise.
The Oskaloosa boys failed to qualify
in the morning preliminaries, but
Bennett saved the day in the pole
vault and high jump.
West Des Moines made the best
score and received the handsome sill.
yer cup. Grinnell was close second
and Correctionville third.
The pole vault and the high jump
were perhaps the most exciting events
on the program. Five of the contest
ants in the pole vault cleared the
state record several inches, but when
the 10 feet and inch mark was reach
ed all were out but Burcham, of Har-
Ian, and Bennett, of Oskaloosa. They
fought hard for some time and finally
divided the points four for each and
tipped for the medal, which was won
by Bennett who also received the
record medal.
In theihigh jump, Grinnell and Des
Moines were almost even and as this
event determined the winner of the
cup the excitement was intense. West
Des Moines won it. Bennett, of Os-
kaloosa, and Reynolds, of Council
Bluffs, tied for second and divided
the four points between them, Ben
nett again drawing the medal.
This made three medals won for
Oskaloosa and also beat the Ottum-
wa score by two points. Oskaloosa,
who had at first been considered as
"easy" was now raised considerably
in the estimation of the crowd and
cries of "what's the matter with Ben
nett" could be heard all over the field.
In the evening banquet was given
to the teams, at the Hotel Monroe,
and there was also an athletic pro-
gram in the mems gymnasium. The
meet was an entire success in every
feature and Grinnell should be COM
plimented for her good management
and hospitality.

STATE PHOTOGRAPHERS.
OskaIOosa Work Ranks well Toward
the Top

II. G. Wilcox returned from the
State Photographers convention last
week. He says the good work was
all done by one or two artists, while
the others were about evenly match
ed but of a much lower grade. The
highest award was given to Sioux
City on a grade of SO. Mr.. Wilcox's
work ranged about 81 and took 4th
place. While the medals were only
given for first and second places, the
Oskaloosa display was above the av-
erage and the pictures show great
skill in light, position. etc. Perhaps
the best of the Oskaloosa display, q
black and white picture of Congress,
man John F. Lacey, was presented
to the HERALD Office by Mr.. Wilcox.

FRANK OFFERING.
OskaIOOsa District Will Give $1,000 TO
the Twentieth Century Fund.

The Montezuma Republican says:
Last Sunday was held in the M. E.
church here the first meeting of the
Twentieth century thank offering
movement in the Oskaloosa district.
Rev. Somerville, of Oskaloosa, and
Rev. Perdew, of New Sharon, were
here and with the pastor, Rev. P. ].
Henness, the movement was given
quite an impetus. In the morning
Rev. Somerville preached a powerful
sermon in the course of which he out
lined the movement and eloquently
plead for the causes represented. At
night Rev. Perdew spoke interest
ingly along the line of Methodism
during the past century and he out
lined the demands for the future in
an intelligent manner. The amounts
pledged at both of the services were
1929, and this with the amounts
previously pledged makes the offer
ing from this charge nearly $500. A
number are yet to contribute and it
is quite certain that the completed
sum will reach well up toward the
thousand dollar line. The campaign
Is now fully on in the district.
