was at the head of the combine. When
seen by a reporter for the Eagle this gen
tleman denied that there was the least
bit of truth in this rumor which he ex-
planned as originating in the br-s Of a
workman who could not get a job Of de-
livering ice. Mr.. Stefren said:
II heard of this two or three days ago
and I think I know how il originated.
There are two worknen in this town
who have not been able to get a job Of
delivering ice at any plant in the city
We would not hire them because we had
our regular men and need no more.
Another thing that might lave had its
effect is that we have been changing our
men around SO that the routes would be
more equal. We have only machinery to
make a limited supply of ice and you
know what the situation was last year.
To I'LL our orders We have found II nee
essary to make a contract with Cudahy
for an amount of ice this summer. These
things I believe. have started this rumor
but I assure you there is not the inkling
of truth in it. You may say to the peo-
pie OF Wichita that we viii furnish ice to
them at the same price as last yearS'

While crossing the Douglas avenue

JURY DID NOT AGREE
John Goodyear VIII Be Tried at the
Next Term of Court.

The jury in the case of John Goodyear.
charged with statutory rape on Katie
Dawson, failed to return verdict, and
it was discharged by Judge Dale when
court convened yesterday morning.
When court convened, Judge Dale ord
cred the jury. which had been out all
night. TO be brought into court. The roll
of the jury was called. after which Judge
Dale asked them if they had formed a
verdict. The foreman hesitatingly said
they had not.
The court then asked the foreman to
state whether their difficulty was in re-
gard to a matter of law or of fact. The
foreman said it was both. but the prin-
cipal difficulty was in regard to matters
of fact. Asked to state the matter Of
law. the foreman said it was in regard
to what in this case, constituted rape.
The court informed the jury that he
could not make that matter any palmer
than lie had already done in his instruc-
tons and he said they had better read
them over again. He said he could not
even make q suggestion as to the facts
in the case. THAT was matter entirely
for the jury 10 determine. The foreman
said he did not think there was any
probability that the jury would ever
agree. as they stood the same way from
the start Several of the other jurors
sanctioned this statement.
Judge Dale then told them that he had
no inclination 90 punish them by keep
inc thorn in the Jury room. and they
were discharged from any further con
sideraGon Of the case. Goodyear gave
ID rew bond and left the court house.
There was quite a crowd present. but
there was no unusual interest shown
in The case and very FIVE were heard to
even express an opinion in regard@$o the
action OF the jury further than TO say
that it was victory Tor Adams &

1t was learned that three of the jurors
voted for acquittal on the first ballot

Judge Enoch Has Lot of Trouble of
His Own

Judge Enoch has been in the law bust

and has run up against a good many hard
propositions, but until yesterday he finds
that he really never met the real thing. q"
Two Assyrians, Abdul Hammud himself
and Adula, his "pard.," came into the
office with long tale Of their troubles
wherein was concerned mortgage held
by one of their race who lives in the east
part of Wichita. They managed to tell
Mr.. Enoch what they wanted but when
he asked them to write down a list Of
their belongings so that he might begin
action. what was his surprise when they
handed him three pages written on both
sides in Hebrew, which is written from
right TO left. He hesitated. a thought
struck him with great force, and with
much solemnity and his two friends he
proceeded into the register of deeds Of
fee, where he demanded Of Mr.. Kerr
certified copy of that Hebrew document.
He smiled as Mr.. Kerr absolutely refused,
but that smile faded away as the regis

town is all right. and that two build
ings will be good investments in that
part of town. 1 bought the lots to build

am now figuring with some contractors
as to the probable cost of the buildings
and find that they will cost about $4,000
