INDICTMENT WAS DEFECTIVE.
So Rules Judge Whitaker in Case O
State VS.. Iowa Central.

Special to Times Republican.
Eldora, Jan. 24.-Because 1t did not al
lege the corporate capacity of the de-
f. ndant, and because the word did
was omitted in alleging any crime
AGAINST the defendant. Judge J. n.
Whitaker. who is presiding over the
Hardin county court, ruled that the in
dictment in the case of the State VS..
the Iowa Central Railway was defect
i've, and quashed it by instructing the
Jury to return verdict for the defend
ant
What is the Iowa Central railwayg
is one of the questions asked. is 1t a
co partnership or corporation or an in
dividual o. If the Iowa Central rail-
way is guilty of a crime, what can be
done with it?" Can 1t be sentenced to
jail?" etc.
The case in question resulted from a
charge of nuisance. which was alleged in
an Indictment against the Iowa Central
railway" The word Company" wasn't
included in the titled of the defendant,
and as a consequence the corporate ca
pacity OF the defendant was not shown.
For several years residents living south
of Union have used a certain road, which
has always been considered public
highway. but which is, In reality, part
of the right-o f-way of the railroad. The
road parallels the Iowa Central main
line for a half or three-quarters of a
mile, between the town of Union and the
Iowa river bridge. In much of this dis
tance the road is not twenty-five feet
distant from the track, and as a conse-
quence was considered by the railroad
management to be dangerous to both the
public and the railroad The road was
shut off by fences by the railroad COM
pany and as result the indictment for
nuisance was secured.
The end of the case is not yet. 1t IL
likely for the court stated that there
was nothing to prevent another indict-
rient being secured. and If this is done.
as 1t probably will be. great care will be
taken in having the indictment carefully

Market Gossip.


Chicago, Jan 24.--There are no very
fancy lambs here.
Rank Waugh has just returned from
al extended trip thru the state OF Iowa.
He reports the supply of cattle on feed
as not any larger than 1t has been repre-
scented to be.
There were received 963 horses Nom
day. the largest receipts for one day
since April Is, 1901, when 1,004 arrivals
were reported. The largest receipts for
one day in the history OF the market oc-
Cured on March %. 1901, when 1887
horses were received.
E. Zoll, live stock dealer and yell
known autcioneer OF Vermont, H., is OF
the opinion that the understanding
many people in the trade have concern
irg the future supply of hogs is all
wrong. He thinks there will be lots Of
them to come forward all the time. TAX
ing his own neighborhood. he says there
has been little or no cholera. with the
pig crop larger than usual, which COM
bination promises we'll for future sup
piles He says cattle are scarce and
quotes corn at Is to so cents.
The thin, skinny canning cows have
been coming in lately faster than the
demand has warranted, and the result is
that they have been hard to sell at low
prices Most of these old shells are COM
ing from the dairy districts of Wiscon-
sin, Illinois and Iowa, where they have
been MIXED out and owners don't con-
sider it profitable to put expensive feed
into them. Packers want all cows with
flesh. but. as buyer remarked yester-
day, I'VE don't want the kind that the

Chicago, Jan 24.-Wheat-Cold wealth

terday's bearish sentiment carried over,
but on the prediction of very severe
weather and firm cables May wheat
started a shade lower to a shade higher

condition reported, but SHOWS were re-
ported in several winter wheat states,
even in Texas and Oklahoma, which
have suffered badly from drought. There

rand, however, sprang up and May re-
covered and soon sold at 79A.
Trade in wheat continued rather dull,

weather had brought better prices May

Up at 7sss@7s1s.
May corn opened quarter to Il of a

sttuation and some selling brought de-
cline to 62ss. but the relatively firm tone
OF cables. poor Argentine weather and
TO shipments from that country soon
brought rally. Cold weather also had
q houyant effect and good buying set in.
AT the end of the first hour May was
selling at 625s.
Corn tried hard to keep its early
strength, but on weakness in southwest
ern and coast markets it hesitated. May
closed steady 1s4A of a cent up at 627s

Oats were weak. There was still an
attempt to press this pit, but the
strength in other grains was felt. May
opened unchanged to u Of a cent lower
at 45A to 451t, and touched at ASH @45ss.
Some sharp selling brought a slump to

fair support 1t rallied to 44A.
