WAS FOUND NOT GUILTY
Result of the Trial Of j. w. Laswell
at Fl. Madison, la.

j. w LasweIi. who vas discharged
from the city court a few days ago from
a charge of threatening his wife, is again
about and feels that some vindication
is due him TO the public. 1t will be re-
rnembered that he has but recently re-
turned from Iowa, where he was tried
for selling mortgaged property. The
newspaper at Fort Madison, says:
1.-THE trial of j. w. Laswell came TO
a close at 7:S0 o'clock Wednesday evening.
when the jury brought in verdict of
not guilty, after being out only about
two hours.
LAS has been stated before Mr.. Laswell
was indicted by the grand jury on the
charge Of cheating by false pretenses and
the trial of the case commenced Monday.
The case was instituted by the Lee
County Savings Bank, the prosecuting
witnesses claiming that the defendant
sold cattle on which they held mort
gage and on which he made false repre-
sensations. The result of the trial is not
a surprise to those who heard the evil
dence but on the contrary met their ex-
pectations.
"A Democrat representative met Mr..
Laswen today and found him a very
Pleasant man to talk to. He was feeling
very good over the result and said that
he was never treated better in his life
than while ne was in the Fort Madison
jail, Sheriff Tucker doing everything in
Lis power TO make him comfortable. He
said also that he had met with several
other Fort Madison citizens who were
very kind and considerate On his release.

Kindness of a banker his wants Were

hesitation the banker gave him twice the
sum he asked for. He is very appIeci-
ative of this kindness. as a man naturally
would be who is placed in such a position.

experience and has been in nearly every

leave. He went 10 Newton and tried TO
talk with her over the telephone. but
she refused To talk.

tuted and the body of Schuyler Irons

I'm Winfield and were earnest workers in
the Presbyterian church. The body was
taken TO Winfield where the funeral ser
vices viii be held.
Miss Beck is d rather pretty, dark COM
plexioned girl. cultured and refined. and
young Irons was passionately fond OF
her. It is said that he often quarreled
with her because hc did not believe she
returned his affections.

city. He has visited here with the family
OF Dr. Street a number OF times and has
many friends in all parts of southern

PERU, Ind, July 15.-Judge John c. Mel
son, a prominent attorney Of Logansport,
was nominated this afternoon as their can
didate for congressman by the Democrats
of the Eleventh district There was quite
an effort on the part of the managers TO
secure a candidate, and Judge Nelson was
named in his absence and after he had
positively and repeatedly declined. 1t has
been learned, however. since that he will
accept under the circumstances. He will be
the opponent of Frederick Lands, of
Logansport, but Will have scarcely any pos
sible chance for election. since the district
majority is so largely Republican.
The convention to-day was quite con-
trast to that at Wabash. where lands was
nominated, as instead of being attended
by thousands of people, there were only
few over a hundred outside of the city.
District Chairman France opened the con-
vention. George H. Goyer, of Lafontatne,
was temporary chairman, and w. J. Houck,
OF Marion, was permanent chairman, with
Ed Cox, of Hartford City, secretary.
Speeches were made by Mr.. Goyer, Mr..
Houck, Judge Cox, of Peru, State Chair
man O'Brien and Jerome Herff, of Peru.
The resolutions adopted the state platform.
At the same time Howard and Miami
counties selected William Johnson, of Ko-
KomO, as the joint senator nominee, and
Grant, Huntington. Howard, Miami and
Wabash counties selected Louis Conner, of
Lagro, as the joint representative nominee.
