A ISLANDER SUIT.
Sioux City Woman Wants $1,000 for

Damages to Her Character.
Sioux City, April Sin an answer
and counter claim Mrs. Anna Graves
claims s5,535 damages of DR.. j. c.
Krejci, who sued for $545, alleged to
be paid on some Nebraska land.
The amount of $4,000 is claimed by
her attorney, George w. Argo, for
injury to her character and good name.
The petition filed by DR.. Krejci is al
legged to contain false, slapderous and
libelous words regarding the defend
ant; that she made false and untrue
statements regarding the land and OBJ
tanned the money paid under false pre-
lenses.
."This fling of the claim against her
caused the publication of statements
made in the newspapers. and, being
read by her friends, caused her great
mental pain and anguish says the
counter claim.
Two other counts of the petition ask
the payment of note for $145 given by
DR.. Krejci on the land deal and for the
payment of $500 for personal services
to his family from the fall of 1898 to
April, 1901. She represents her SER
vices worth SO week. Mrs. Graves
was a neighbor of the Krejcis at that
time, and at his request, it is claimed,
attended his wife when she was I'LL.

FOR AN OLD CRIME.
Two Men Arrested at Cedar Rapids
for Murder Committed in 1898.
IL

Two Men Arrested at Cedar Rapids
for Murder Committed in 1885,
Special to Times Republican.
Cedar Rapids, April S.-Howard N.
Guess, an employee of the. packing
house, living at 1922 Tenth avenue, and
Frank Horak, Of Ely, who has just
returned from the army in the Phil.
ippines, were arrested yesterday on a
warrant issued by Justice Sloan,
charging them with the murder OF
Edward Moore. on or about October
81, 1898. The arrest is the result of a
long and careful investigation, which
has practically been in progress since
the date of the murder.
| Horak was for some time station
agent of the B., c. r g. N. at Ely,
but it is said that he Wa discharged
from his position for drul.- ness
some time after Moore was murdered.
After his discharge from the employ
of the b., c.. r. & NJ. he enlisted in
the United States army, and went to
the Philippines. He returned from the
Islands to Cedar Rapids about two
weeks ago.
Edward Moore, a young man about
"a years of age, who had been in the
employ of James LIE Gore on his farm
near Ely was found dead about 6
o'clock Friday morning, October 81
1898, lying near the B., c. r. & N.
tracks about mile north of Ely, by
Conductor Edwards of No. 81, the
northbound passenger Of the Cedar
Rapids route. His body was brought
to this city, where it was found that
he had been shot. One bullet had en-
tered the left breast at point so that
it would pass thru the upper portion
of the heart, and which was sufficient
to have caused almost instant death.
The second bullet had entered the
body little farther to the side and
about four inches below the other. The
third bullet had entered the left arm
just above the elbow, struck the bone
and flattened out This bullet was not
found until the next day after a care
full post -mortem examination by Doc
tors Ruml and Poore. At first it was
thought that Moore might have COM
mitted suicide but when, the next day,
the third bullet was discovered in the
arm, the authorities became convinced
that Moore had been murdered.
The testimony of the physicians was
to the effect that it would have been
impossible for the wounds to be self
inflicted.
All the evidence at the inquest
tended to show that he was murdered
and robbed and the jury composed of
Messrs ]. K. McWilliams, w. w. In
gold and Sam j. Brinkerhoff rendered
a verdict finding that the deceased
came to his death from pistol shot
wounds inflicted by parties to the jury
unknown.
The motive of the evidence against
the young men arrested is not
known.

who is to coach for the Penn track
team during the spring, arrived Friday
to begin his labors. Mr.. Wheeler comes
from Chicago and is model team
manage and coach. The way in which
he took hold of the work Friday eve
ming showed that he understands his
business and will do his best to make
the team a winning one. There was a
good showing out to see the practice
and things seem to be picking up for
as good or even a better team than
Penn has ever had. Mr.. Wheeler says
tina the has never seen team with
better prospects, especially in the
weights. He thinks Penn should take
nearly every place in the shot-put and
hammer throw. There was a noticeable
difference even Friday night. The
boys all dio better than heretofore and
seemed to get more system into the
work. The association is well pleased

keane Called to Washington.

Dubuque, April }. Archbishop
Keane has been called to Washington
by Mgr Sbaretti, apostolic delegate to
the Philippines, to consult with him re-
garding the solution of the friar ques-
ton. Mgr. Sbaretti will depart in few
weeks for the Philippines. and he is
DESTROYS of hearing the sentiments of
the leaders of the Catholic hierarchy on
the various matters that will come
within his jurisdiction. While Mgr.
Sbaretti denies that he will become
archbishop of Manila, still it is under
stood that some American prelate will
be called to assist in the duties of that
station, and it is believed that Arch
bishop keane will be asked upon this
question also.
