Two suits in replevin were filed to-
day, one by Mary A. Hull against c..

tional Bank, and the other by Frank
Driesback against p. S. Balch, cashier
of the Marshalltown State Bank. Each
of these suits We're brought to replevin

somewhat remarkable state of facts
The payee. DR.. j. w. S. Howell &
Co.. of Chicago, it is claimed in Mrs.
Hulls case, fraudulently substituted
a note for a contract, and obtained her
signature to q note of $3.50. In the
other case, 1t is claimed that an agree
ment was made to cure Mr. Driesback
of disease within six months, and by
false representations note of $500
was made to Dr. j. w. S. Howell &
Co., of Chicago, and that the payees
fraudulently and by false representa-
tons obtained the note. The notes
were sent here to the banks named.
and the plaintiffs have obtained pos
session of them by a replevin. The
banks are not interested further than
that the notes We're sent to them. The
cases will probably come or for trial
at the next term of court.
1t is only one of the many cases to
which attention has been called by
the newspapers of late years, in which
parties put faith in the statements of
a travelling doctor that he will cure
them of disease. and he obtains notes
for considerable amounts, then goes
off and sells the notes. In the cases
referred to, if the plaintiffs substanti
ate their claims in court, they will
probably obtain possession of their
notes, which are now in the hands of
the sheriff.
An advertisement was published
some months ago in this paper. from
another party, notifying the public not
to buy his note given to the same

S. Miller Kent and Company in "The
Cowboy and the Lady"
THE Cowboy and the Lady" with S.
Miller Kent as the bright particular
star, was the attraction at the Odeon
last night, and drew to the theater a
very large audience. The play was
written by Clyde Fitch, and while it is
not his best production. it is an extra
ordinary one, containing as it does
much good comedy, considerable of the
dramatic of ordinary merit, and some
tragedy. In fact the story jumps from
comedy to the pathetic and vice versa
with suddenness that is sometimes
startling, leaving for moment an i'm
preston of incongruity. The cowboy
OF the west Is pictured in the romantic
coloring in which he is supposed to ex-
list. rather than in reality. AS play to
please all classes of theater goers at one
and the same time. however THE Cow
boy and the Lady" is a success. There
is sentiment and love and comedy in
sufficient quantity to suit the most crit
zeal, plenty of shooting and an over
abundance of swearing.
The presenting company, with few
was an excellent one. Mr..
Kent is a talented actor, and while he
has followed Nat Goodwin in the part
of Teddy North, a Harvard graduate
who engages in the ranch business in
Colorado, he acquits himself with cred
it. Dividing the honors with him were
c. Blanche Rice as Nudge and Nora
O'Brien as Mrs. Weston, while Miss
Anna Wood and Miss prtssimc otdad
