Waverly, April 1.-THE litigation ov-
err the Red Cross is attracting large
crowd to the court house nowadays.
Thus far but little has been accom-
plished In court, the attorneys being
engaged in efforts to bring about an
amicable adjustment of the whole mat
ter that would secure to all claimants
and particularly to the mortuary
claimants the payment of a large por-
ton, If not all. of their claims. 1t is
thought that were 1T not for the Ill
feeling engendered by the reckless
charges and counter charges that have
been made, the desired end would have
been reached by agreement. the pros
poets appear to be bright for an adjust
ment that will be alike favorable to
the holders of these claims, who are
the ones who are vitaly interested, and
also honorable to the Bankers Unlon'
with whom the original contract was
made for transfer of the Red Cross as
sets, and It's officers. The array OF at
torneys is imposing. For the appoint
ment of a receiver, there appear Messrs.
Nichols and Tobin, of Vinton; General
Remley, of Iowa City; and Mitchell d

HAD PECULIAR PAsTlME.
John Goldsmith Charged With Main
ing and Disfigurins Cattle.

Special to Times Republican.
Clinton, April 17.-"Maiming and
disfguring cattle by shooting" is the
peculiar charge brought against John
Goldsmith, resident of Beaver Island
opposite the city. by August Henning-
son and a couple Of other farmers
residents of that locality. Goldsmith
is a man sixty years of age or there
abouts, and is a we'll known char
acter turnout this locality. The
charge against him Is a peculiar one
For a year or more the farmers of
the island have made complaints of
injuries inflicted upon their stock by
some unknown person or persons, who
have made practice of shooting the
animals, not in vital portions but gen.
orally in the legs or flank. Dozens OF
manner, and on a number of occas-
ions efforts were made to apprehend
the miscreant, but without success
Wednesday Henningsen, with q couple
of his companions, concealed himself
in a vacant barn on the island for the
purpose OF watching for the culprit,
several of their cattle having been in
jured during the past few days. They
came to Clinton later in The day and
reported that they saw Goldsmith de-
liberately shoot three calves that were
feeding near by. Complaint was made
against the man, and warrant sworn
out for his arrest on the above charge.
Officers drove over in the afternoon
and brought Goldsmith to the city,
placing him in the city Jail. He had
his hearing this morning before Judge
Fink, waived examination, and was
held to the district court in the sum of
$500, which amount was not furnished.
He will await an investigation of the
charges against him by the September
grand jury and the probability is that
he will spend the intervening time in
the county Jail. The farmers of Beav-
err island are justly indignant over the
matter. and the case is to be prose
cuted to the fullest extent.
The penalty for the crime for which
Goldsmith is charged is any term from
a year in the county Jail to five years
in the state penitentiary.

Woman Finds Husband Dead as Shown

Special to Times Republican.
Cedar Rapids, April 17.-Yesterday
morning vaclav Shelacta was found
dead in his bed by his wife and son in
the little one-roomed rustic home To-
Gated on forty-acre piece of land
among the hills near Otis.
It was not by necessity that vaclav
Shelacta lived in this little house
among the hills and woods. He came
to this country from Bohemia, where
he was born, eighteen years ago and
by his thrifty life had gained two
houses and lots In Cedar Rapids. Six
years ago, however, his health began
to fail him. He felt weakness and
the air OF the city seemed to Cypress
him. He geve up his labor and pur-
chased the little nook near Otis. There
he built small house and maintained
bis family by the efforts he placed up
on the farm. The fresh country air
agreed with him and there he chose
to spend his days. The faithful help-
meet kept up her home in the city. but
went often to the rustic home and re-
manned with him over night and thru
the day.
Night before last the woman and her
little boy spent the night in the coun-
try with her husband. In the morning
she was worried and explained her
feeling to her husband by telling him
that she had dreamed that he had died
and she was left alone with her six
children in the world. He laughed at
her, but she is of superstitious nature
and was considerably troubled. 1t is
that season when all is busy in the
country and she came to town yester-
day to get seeds for the garden. When
she returned she found that her hallu-
cination of the night before had come

the validity of some OF the strongest fea-
