Sensational Case in the Benton
Countp Court Comes to Alb
rupt Ending
IT WAS TAKEN FROM THE JURY
Lena Towe Sued Her Husbands Par
ents for $4,000 Because of Alleged
Alienation of Her Husbands Affec-
tions - Sequel to Divorce Proceed
inus- Much Interest in Case.
70 Times-Repupiican.

Special to Times Republican.
vinton, Dec. 1.-THE case OF Lena
Towe VS.. Lars Towe and Julla loWe
has been occupying the attention o.
Judge Caswell's court for little more
than week. This is a case wherein
the plaintiff seeks to recover damages
in the sum of $4,000 for the alleged
alienation of her husbands directions.
At the April term of the court the
plaintiff in this case was defendant IN
an action for divorce. The huspana
Lewis Towe, alleged a number OF
grounds as causes for his action, prin-
cinal of which was cruel and inhuman
treatment but failed to establish any
of his allegations and the action was
dismissed by the court. The evidence
introduced in the action for divorce
tended to show that unpleasant rela-
lions had existed between the HUSBAND
and wife for many years.
The present action is to some extent
an outgrowth of the former case.
The defendants in this case are the
parents of Lewis Towe, and the plain
tiff, Lena Towe, alleges that much OF
the trouble arising between her and
her husband has been caused by I'M
due influence on the part OF Lewis
parents, and who are now made de-
PENDANTS in this case. She charges
that such influences have caused her
husband to desert her, and 1t is for
these reasons that she seeks to re-
cover as above stated.
The jury in this case was empan-
neled Tuesday the End inst. The re-
mainder of the week was occupied with
the introduction OF testimony. The
case continued thru Monday and Tues
day Of this week. After all the testi-
money was in and both parties had
rested the defendants filed a motion to
take from the jury, which motion was
sustained. Whereupon the plaintiff
dismissed her action without preju-
dice.
A great amount of interest has been
shown by a large number of spectators,
who have attended the trial of the
case.

Employees of the United States
Gypsum Company Go Back
to Work.
A VICTORY FOR THE COMPANY
Gypsum Miners Have Been Idle Two
Weeks and Their Places Were Be-
ing Filled by Non Union Men--Ques-
ton of Manner of Payment Was at
Issue.
to Times Republican

Special to Times
Fort Dodge, Dee. 1.-THE strike of
the employees of the United States
Gypsum Company in this city has been
declared off. The last of the strikers
went to work yesterday. The company
has four of its mills in operation and is
now able to meet all demands.
The strike resulted in victory for the
gypsum company. The miners were
out two weeks. When the men went
out the company began hiring non-un-
ion men and called upon Sheriff OLE
son to swear in deputies to protect Its
property in case the strikers should be-
gin a demonstration. Enough men
were secured to operate four mills, and
it was not until then that the strikers
withdrew their demands and returned
to work. John p. Reese, prominent in
the American Federation of Labor, was
in the city few days ago, and after
reviewing the situation advised the men
to return to work.
The strike was the result of the conn
pany's refusing to grant the demand of
the men that they be paid in individual
checks. 1t has been customary to pay
the men by what is known as the room
system. Two men, and sometimes more,
work In the mines in what are known
as rooms. The company found 1t more
convenient to pay out one check for the
amount of gypsum taken out of the
room than to pay the men individually.
Usually. however, the checks are large,
and the men find difficulty in cashing
them readily. AS the strike resulted, no
change will be made in the check sys
tenn.

Edward Hanson Accused of Cruel
Treatment Of His Wife.
Special to Times Republican.
Cedar Rapids, Dec. II. - Edward
Hanson, who was in the police court for
intoxication yesterday, is accused by
his wife of shocking cruelty toward her
while he was under the influence OF
LIQUOR. She had her husband arrested
because she believed he was about to
repeat former cruelties. She told her
story at the station yesterday morning
and exhibited to the police matron the
marks on her back resulting from the
whipping which Hanson gave her be-
fore they came to Cedar Rapids. She
said during the summer they had been
travelling thru Iowa visiting the fairs,
at which they ran lunch counters. Com
ing from Marengo Hanson became In
toxicated en- route and while they We're
camping out one day he shamefully
maltreated his wife, IL her story is true,
and there seems to be little ground for
doubling 1t. She told the matron and
the officers that he tied her to tree
and then beat her with a rope until
great welts were raised on her back.
She resisted the assault as long as pos
sible. but finally she became exhausted
bv the effort and then 1t was an easy
matter for Hanson, who is powerful
man physically, to securely fasten her
To a tree, which he did.

even in times of high water, as any OF
the high lands in this part of the
country. These low lands, when they
are withheld from the spring rises, are

Jesse Williams is perhaps the most
successful farmer in this section or the
valley. Last year his corn made an
average of so bushels per acre which
was the best average that came to
notice. This year he has gathered
perhaps half of his crop from which
he has realized over 90 bushels per
acre. He is one of the few men who
understand how and when to Guilt
waite the bottom land to secure tn"
best results as his unequaled success
for an extreme dry and extreme wet
year clearly indicates. He says four
years farming on the bottom has con-
WINGED him that the earlier corn can

doing likewise.
