PREACHER SERVES ON JURY.
Or. Parsons of Mason City EmpaneIed
On Jury in Damage Suit Case.

| Special to Times-Republican.
Mason City, Sept. 25.-The spectacle
of a regular minister in a city pulpit
serving. on a jury in the district court
has been presented here for the frs.
time in the history of the Jurisprudence
of this county and perhaps In the state
for a long time. DR.. f. w. Parsons of
the First Baptist church of this city
invariably attends eac term of court
following the interesting cases thru. He
does this partly because he has a liking
for the law and wishes to enlarge his
legal knowledge and argumentative
aeumen and partly to study the style
of the most effective oTatory Of the
bar. Yesterday on ~empaneling a jury
talismen had to be drawn and the ball
if in a spirit Of jocundity drafted the
preacher. He has preached SO many
times about the business man and the
professional mar Sinking this respon-
sibility that he consented to serve altho
exempt by law. The case Is a damage
suit wherein one A. B. Arnold sues the
kilmer Drug Co. for damages alleged
to have been received by falling thru
the trap doc OF the drug house. a
local paper suggests that DR.. Parsons
will preach soon on the Trap Door Of
the Devil" but intimates that 1t Will
have any reference to the defendant
in this case.

Special to Timas-Republican.
Webster City, Sept. 25.-A vari-col-
ored manc in real life came to light
in this city last evening when Mrs.
f. NJ. Berger, who yesterday had az.
information sworn out against her hus
band, charging him with having threat
ened her life, withdrew 1t then the
case came on for trial. 1t was with
drawn for the reason that Berger
agreed to leave the city and nave MOTH
ing more to do with his wife. AT the
last term of the district court Mrs. Ber-
ger filed an application for a divorce
from her husband, but 1t is said that
thru the forecast of a gypsy fortune
| teller she withdrew the petition. 1t is
said that the gypsy predicted that
Berger would die and therefore Mrs.
Berger figured that she would soon be
rid Of her erring spouse without the
expense OF getting a divorce.
1t is alleged that the prediction given
Mrs. Berger by the gypsy vas that old
and time worn tale about the rich
husband which never fails to tickle
the ears of young and giddy girls but
which in the case of more matured
persons generally causes a mere smile.
According to the gypsy, Mrs. Berger's
present husband would soon die and
that she would shortly thereafter be
wooed by a wealthy man and. that
he would wed her in time. The petition
for divorce had been filed but Mrs.
Berger, thinking that if the prediction
OF the gypsy We're to come true the
getting Of the divorce was needless
went to her attorney and had it with
draw.
Up to the present time, however.
Berger has failed to die n In fact a
few days ago became so lively as to
cause his wife much worry and dis
tress of mind by threatening to put
her out of the way" He alleged that
his wife spent too much time talking
to other men, altho it is not alleged
that he ever charged that these men
We're wealthy. However, the couple
could not get along we'll together AMI
things went from bad to worse. Fin
ally the matter came to a crisis yester-
day when Mrs. Berger had her husband
arrested with the expectation of having
him put under bonds to keep the peace
Before the case came on for trial, how
ever, Berger told his wife that if she
would withdraw her information he
would agree to leave the city and the
again modest her. She agreed and the
information was in consequence with
drawn. Berger had been employed as q
blacksmith while in the city. He left
last night and where he went is not
known.
1t Is expected that Mrs. Berger will
soon file in the district court another
petition for divorce. It is believed,
however, that her faith in gypsy for
tune tellers is somewhat shaken.
