MRS. LlNHoFF,s TESTIMONY.
Her Evidence Given With Great
Show of Emotion.

| Special to Times Republican.
| Mason City, Feb. S.-The climax in
the remarkable trial of Mrs. A. G. Lin
hon charged with killing Edwin C.
Bromley, on the evening of August 80,
in this city, was reached yesterday
when Mrs. Lena Linhoff, the accused
woman was put upon the stand in her
own behalf. Turnout the trial Mrs
Linhoff has maintained an air almost
approaching stoicism, only once show
ing any signs of emotion and that when
the revolver which sent the deadly bull
let was introduced into the trial. But
when on the stand yesterday her con-
fiicting emotion overcame her at nu-
merous times and caused her mask of
apparent Indifference to give way to
tears. She was questioned closely upon
the story of events and told clear
connected story of every incident.
Mrs. Linhoff is woman standing five
feet four inches. weighs $50 pounds and
is "a years of age. She has been mar
ried to A. c. Linhoff thirteen years and
previous to that time she was Lena
Ochs and lived at Chaska, Mimi, where
her mother still resides. Her features
are regular and full, she has greyish
eyes.
The greatest sensation of the whole
trial occurred when, her voice almost
stified by emotion, she told of the
shooting. She said: II never had 1t
in my heart or mind that night or any
other time to kill Ed Bromley or his
wife. In only fired the revolver that
right to brighten them away and pro-
tect my husband. l did not know that
hit Ed. Bromley till officer Goodwin
told me of it in my own house" Pro-
ceeding she related in detail all the
events which led up to the shooting;
the numerous quarrels with the Rrom-
leys and the final shootings.
Something of sensation was - Gated
in the court when it became known
that the attorneys were arguing with
Judge Smith the question of throwing
the case out of court. alleging that an
error had been made In drawing up the
indictment against Mrs. Linhoff. The
point was argued at considerable length
but 1t is not expected that the judge
Will take immediate action upon the |
case but that as soon as the case is |
he will deliver his charge to
the jury, ignoring the alleged error I'M
til later time.

| Waterloo, Feb. S-The fifth victim of
the fire in the Kushner home Tuesday
night was claimed today, when Anna
Kushner aged years, died from burns
received in the fire. OF a family of
seven only the father and a baby boy,
Is months old, survive.
The boy baby, who suffered little in
jury, is getting along finely. His Group.
which was his only serious ailment, is
yielding to the good care and treatment
that is given him at the hospital, and
there is every prospect that he will soon
be strong and well, without a mark to
bear record of the terrible disaster thru
which he alone came unscathed out Of
a family of seven.
The physicians and nurses who have
been greatly affected by the courage
and patience which the children have
shown while their injuries were being
dressed and other measures taken for
their relief. In spite of the great pain
they must have endured they have
been most accomplishing, bearing their
suffering with a fortitude that many
older patients fail to show in much less
trying circumstances. Whatever of
medicine or nourshment has been Civ
en- them they have readily taken, COM
plying with all the requirements made
of them by their nurses without MUIR

1t is probable the body of the little
girl who died today will be taken to
Cedar Rapids for burial, as the other
members of the family We're inferred
there.
Waterloo. Feb S.-The third child of
Samuel Kushner died here yesterday.
The wife and two of the children had

There are now four dead-the moth

days the grand jury has again gone
home, having concluded its work
AS no discharge was entered in the
murder case against T. w. Reynolds OF
Sioux Falls. 1t is reasonably supposed
that he has been indicted for killing
Rev. Samuel Crofton, the blind negro.
AS 1t had been agreed the trial OF the

has left the Reynolds case in abeyance
hoping for clearer understanding OF
1t by the next meeting.
Crofton was killed on or about Aug.

AN MEDICINE
A New Discovery Which Cures All
! Forms of catarrh.

The tablet is the ideal form In whlch

Gently no successful catarrh tablet mad
ever been attempted. Ihere is now
however. an excellent and palataple
remedy for catarrh in tablet 1oriii.
known as Stuart's Catarrh Iabiets anu
cold by druggists, composed OF the most
recent discoveries in medicine FOR the
cure of catarrh and results from their
use have been highly gratifying.
The old-time treatment of catarrh
was in the form of inhalers, washes,
douches, sprays, etc. Later on internal
remedies were used with greater sue
cess, but being In liquid or powder form
were announcement to use and ike an
medicines in liquid or powder form lose
their medicinal properties when opened
or exposed to the air.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets contain
highly concentrated antiseptics, red
gum. blood root, etc, which kill the ca
tarrh germs in the blood and mucous
membrane, and in this respect are
strictly scientific and modern. because
all authorities are now agreed that ca
tarrh is a constitutional blood disease.
and local applications can have only
transitory effect.
The use of inhalers. douches and
sprays is a nuisance and inconvenience
and can in no wise compare favorably
with the same antiseptics given
in tablet form internally. where they
can reach the stomach and blood and
kill catarrh germs right where they are
PRODUCED.

A prominent lawyer and public
speaker of Pittsburg says: II have been
troubled with catarrh of the head and
throat for twelve years. In this climate
1t seems impossible to get rid of it.
The continual dropping of mucous from
the nose into the throat caused irrita-
ton and hoarseness, seriously interior
Ing with my public speaking. 1t took
me an hour or more of coughing, gag
gfng, expectorating and sneezing every
morning before could settle down to
work and this condition gradually
brought on catarrh of the stomach,
causing loss of appetite poor digestion
and foul breath. which annoyed me
exceedingly. My physician advised me
to try Stuart's Catarrh Tablets and L
took them for two months and was as
tcnished to find how quickly they
cleared my head. throat and stomach,
end have no hesitation in recommends
ing them. They are not only pleasant
to take. but they seem tc get at the
very root of the trouble. because since
using them I have had no trace of ca
tarrh."
Druggists sell Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lets at so cents for the full -sized pack
age.
They can be carried in the pocket and
used any time and as often as desired.
since they contain no cocaine, mercury
or any other injurious drug.

Fort Dodge, Feb. S.-The supreme
court has decided a most interesting
law suit, ascertaining who was liable
for the payment for paving the right of
way of the street railway, operated by
the Fort Dodge Light and Power Com
pany.
The case was tried in 1899. The de-
cision holds the city liable for the
amount, $4,000.
The Iowa National Bank of Des
Moines attempted the collection of the
certificates for the paving done in Fort
Dodge in 1899. the bank having pur-
chased the certificates from Contractor
Campbell, who laid the paving The
Light and Power Company claimed ex-
emption, on the ground that it's charter,
granted by the city, exempted it from
the paying of taxes.
Judge Whitaker held that neither
the city nor the light and power COM
pany We're liable for payment of the
certificates, pronouncing the pavement
defective. The bank carried the matter
to the higher court. which exempts the
light and power company, but holds the
city liable to the full amount of the
paving certificates involved

Clinton, Feb Son Aug. 80, 1901,
John Ryan, who had been working In
this locality for some time and whose
home was in Troy. n. Y. was united in
marriage to Miss Mary Petersen. of Sa-
| bula. Four days later, on Sept. 3. MIR.
and Mrs. Ryan and Mr.. and Mrs. Peter
sen left in a house boat and f1oated
Gown the Mississippi to East ST. Louis,
H.. reaching that place on Oct. IL. Mr..
Ryan had stated there was man
named Martens working for the Mis-
souri, Malleable Iron Works at that
place, with whom he had once been In
partnership, and further stated that
said Martens owed him about $500.
When they had been In East st. Louis
a couple of days Mr.. Ryan remarked
that he was going to the iron works to
attempt to get the money due him and
asked Petersen to accompany him. AS
Petersen was busy, Ryan went alone.
He stated he would be back in two
hours. but as the day wore on and he
did not return considerable anxiety was
felt concerning him, as he had said
Martens was an ugly fellow. His rela-
tives awaited until the next day and
then as he did not return Mr.. Petersen
went to the iron works to inquire for
him, but was denied admission and
was informed that neither Ryan nor
Martens We're known there. The mat
ter was reported to the police and hos
p:tals and public places We're searched
to no avail. Ryan could not be found
and no trace of him discovered after
leaving the house boat. 1t is the inn
preston of his relatives that he was
murdered. as he appeared to be very
devoted to his young wife and was in a
happy mood when he left her. Hence
the family is confident that nothing
short of death or sudden insanity could
have prevented him from returning. or
at least making known his where
abouts.
Mrs Ryan returned from East st.
Louis, in company with her brother and
wife, and is deeply grieved over the
mysterious disappearance of her hus-
band.
