WOULD DESTROY MuLcT LAW.
Judge WakefieIds Decision Favorable
to Saloons and [ iuuor Traffic

Judge WakeheId'S Decision Favorable
to Saloons and Liquor Traffic.
Special to Times-Republican
Sioux City, July S.-Judge Wake
field of the district court rendered a de-
olson here today which is of the utmost
| Importance in the Interpretation of the
Iowa mulct law, known as the Martin
law. Judge Wakefield held the term
"owner," heretofore understood as
meaning the owner of the property or
building in which the saloon was oper-
ated. applied to the actual owner of the
saloon.
In fighting the saloons injunction has
been the weapon most used and most
effective. In these injunctions the own
er of the building has been included and
subject to punishment for contempt of
court if the injunction We're violated.
Under this new Interpretation, the sa-
Ion keeper can file bond and by pay
mnt of $50 can secure an abatement of
the injunction. The league will carry
the case to the supreme court for final
Interpretation. If the decision of the
lower court is upheld, it will make pro-
cedure against saloons difficult, as by
a change in name the saloon keeper can
render himself free from the operation
of the law or can accomplish the same
by fake sales. 1t virtually destroys the
effect of the Iowa mulct law.
Lawyers who are most familiar with
the liquor law and decisions bearing
upon its operation are sanguine that
the upper courts will reverse Judge
Nakefeld's decision. They argue that
the supreme court has held to strict
Interpretation of the law and cite its
holding on the clause which provides
that no saloon shall be located within
500 feet of a church or schoolhouse.
In these cases the law is interpreted to
provide for 500 feet in an air line and
not around corners. From this and 9TH
or citations they argue that the new in
depreciation made by Judge Wakefield
will not stand with the higher courts.

is STILL A MYSTERY.
coroner's Verdict Sheds No Light on
Case of Matilda Waqner.

Dubuque, July S.-The verdict rem
dered by the coroner's jury in the case
of Matilda Wagner, whose body was
found floating in the Mississippi river
at Eagle Point, fails to unravel the
mystery surrounding the death of Miss
Wagner. Sheriff Homrich, of Galena
and his deputies have been working on
the case. They have followed several
clues and in ne lrly every instance
found them to be without foundation.
In his testimony before the jury Sat-
urday afternoon, MIR. Homrich said that
he made a thorough investigation of
the rumor to the effect that a covered
rig was seen passing thru Jimtown,
Wis, a few days previous to the finding
of the body at Eagle Point. He fol-
lowed the course taken by the vehicle
from Apple River and >Jimtown, but ut
the latter place the clue was lost. The
rig was occupied by two men who sat
on the front seat. No one saw the oc-
cupant of the rear seat Suspicion was
attracted to the vehicle because of the
actions of the driver and his compan-
ion, who stopped at a saloon at Jim
town to water their horses, and when
an attempt was made by several men
to see wha. was in the rear end of the
carriage. the occupants whipped up
their horses and drove ahead on the
road leading to Kimbel's park. Moth
ing further could be learned of the rig
and it's occupants after leaving Jim
town.
The verdict rendered by the jury
practically leaves the manner in which
Miss Wagner met death the same as it
was two weeks ago. There is a strong
probability that the girl was the victim
of foul play, while on the other hand
it may develop, after further investiga
ton. that the young woman may have
plunged into the river with suicidal in
tention.

water only.
Thunder Mountain at one time
occupied a very humble position
compared with surrounding
neighboring peaks, and without
a question was not to be seen at

question that it was at that time
gathering the gold from her
neighbors.

the downward, destructive grind

water were deepened and widen
ed by ice, assure veins were thus
exposed, both of gold and silver.
