Failure to Reach Verdict in the Ho
sack Case

Failure to Reach Verdict in the Hos.
sack Case.
Special to Times Re publican.
Winterset, Feb. 2S.-The jury in ths
Hossack murder case failed to reach an
agreement after being out thirty hours
and at O'clock last night We're dis
charged. The jury is said to have
stood, almost without change, nine 70,
conviction and three for acquittal. The
three men who were for acquittal could
not be changed in their views, altho the
case was argued for many hours.
This action of the jury throws the
case back practically to where it start
ed, and unless something unusual and
Unforeseen occurs it will have to be
brought up and tried over again.
1t is stated the sentiment of the peo-
pie of Winterset was largely in favor
of acquittal. and the assertion is made
that this sentiment prevailed to a con-
siderable extent among even those who
believed the evidence as given pointed
to the guilt of Mrs. Hossack They ar
gued that there We're extenuating cir
cumstances brought out by the liz )
which the woman and her husband had
led The age of Mrs. Hossack also
brought considerable sympathy to her,
us we'll as did the loyalty for their mo-
Their displayed by her children.

Laurens, Feb. 2S.-Miss Baker a
pretty country school teacher, figures
in one of the most sensational happen
ings which ever occurred here. This
is especially true because of the high
standing of the parties concerned
About midnight Rev. Chambers was

which he opened to find w. Z. Craig, 4
prominent farmer and stock raiser, ac-
companied by Miss Baker Craig re-
quested sanctuary and shelter for the
night for Miss Baker, stating that his
wife had taken the children and gone to
his fathers home, accusing him of init
macy with the teacher. Craig, who has
always borne the best reputation. broke
down and wept, telling his story to the
pastor and declaring his innocence
Miss Baker took the mornings train fos
Ord, Neb leaving her school unfinish-
ed. AS the passenger pulled out from
the depot one of Mrs. Craigs relatives
was seen on horseback watching the
train from distance to be sure that
there would be no mistake about Miss
Bakers going. Mrs. Craig's family is
wealthy and of high standing.
Miss Baker is a very pretty and win
some girl. Craig is tall light complex
toned and of bright and attractive per-
sonalty. The relatives of the wronged
wife are very much incensed, and it is
reported that Craig feared that theg
might do him bodily harm.

A LAND sWINDLE
w. e. McAIpine, of whittemore, Ar
rested by Federal Officials on Charge
Of Using Mails to Defraud-Details
of the Scheme.

Special to Times Republican.
Clarion. FEB. 2S.-Tha arrest by the
federal authorities of w. p. McAlplne,
Of Whittemore, is said to have resulted
In the exposure of scheme by which
scores of people have neen swindled.
McAlpine was brought before the
United States commissioner at Clarion,
on the charge of using the mails to de-
fraud.
The mode of operation was varied to
some extent to suit the Individual cases,
hut in it's most simple form II is ABOUT
as follows. according to the discoveries
riade by the officials: McAlpine wrote
to one man and offered to sell him LOCO
acres of land in Scott county, Tennes-
see. McAlpine said that he held per-
feet title and abstract to the thousand
acres of land, which was heavily
wooded and altogether desirable. This
particular man bit" and McAlpine then
wrote him another letter, telling him
that he would sell him the thousand
acres on the following terms: The pur-
chaser was to send McAlpine S25 and
McAlpine would then deposit the deed
and the abstract in the Whittemore
State Bank Then the purchaser was
to pay him $40 or SIS month until
S75 had been paid, when the abstract
and deed were to be turned over to him.
After this he was to pay $40 month
until 5000 had been paid, and II he sold
the land in the meantime he was to
pay the whole 5000.
The hope of getting thousand acres
Of good land heavily tin bered for S20o
seems to have been a sufficient induce
ment for many people to bite at the
offer. Sometimes there was variation
OF the plan. If the would-be buyer had
no cash, 1t is said that McAlpine was
ready to take almost anything, in trade.

Whatever there is here in the form
of coal shortage is due to the lack
of cars for that line of traffic. With
in the past day or so several of the
dealers here have run out of supplies
in this line, and are uncertain of the
future. They have coal ordered. coal
actually bought and on the road, but
so great is the freight tieup al. over
the country that they have no knowl-
edge of the date of arrival of those
missing consignments. And what is
true of coal is true likewise of other
commodities. There is a general lack
Of vitality In the freight situation. En-
gines are over-taxed, and crews are
worked down SO that they are almost
worn out, but the freight blockade
gets worse. 1t has never been as bad
as it Is, and as it has been for the
past two or three weeks.

State Convention
WILL MAKE AGGRESSIVE FIGHT
J. H. Quick is to be Temporary Chair
man of the Convention and A. j..
Hogan secretary-Matter of the JEFF
ferson Day Banquet Discussed -
Ticket Not Talked.
Special to Times Republican.

Des Moines. Feb. 2S.-The demo-
Gratis had harmonious meeting yes
terday afternoon. They decided their
state convention should be held in Des
Moines June II next Some of the
members of the committee wanted 1t
in some other city. and four votes were
cast for Sioux City. one for Cedar
Rapids and two for Waterloo at diff
ferent times. The early date was Sc
lected without opposition, as all agreed
that this is .he year for the democrats
TO be on the aggressive. They feel that
they can make a real campaign this
year and possibly put the republicans
on the defensive on some matters. 1t
is to do this that the convention will be
held before the time usually selected
by the republicans for their state con-
vei,tion. They do not anticipate the
republicans will hold a convention be-
fore the last of July. Chairman jack
son got together the beginning of an
organization last year and this year
will be able to start off early with
something of an organization. 1t is
expected he will be in charge OF the
campaign again. j. H. Quick, of Sioux
City. is to be the temporary chairman
OF the convention and A. j. Hogan
county auditor of johnson county, the
secretary. The matter of the banquet
on Jefferson day was discussed freely
by the member in the committee
Assurances were given that it would
not be free silver love feast, but a
real democratic gathering, and upon
this assumption the members of the
committee are going to help it along
all they can. The feeling among the
members OF the committee was more
joyful than usual and they expressed
themselves as nightly pleased with the
outlook for a strong campaign this year.
They believe that the supposed fac
tional feeling in the republican party
will rebound to the benefit of the dem
ocrats and are preparing TO take adj
vantage of this. Nothing was said as
to the possible ticket to be nominated

vided by Law

Special to Times Republican.
Mason City. Feb. 2S.-There promises
to be lively war on between the coun-
ty and city authorities on account of
the condition of the county Jail. The
grand jury is required at each session
to visit the poor farm and county Jail
and report the conditions thereof ana
the last grand jury has flied its report,
which is sensational. as it charges the
sheriff with gross neglect for his keep
ing the Jail and censures the county
clerk and attorney for not making the
report to the district court twice a year
as provided by law. The sheriff has
insisted that it is impossible to keep
the Jail clean because the city prison.
ers are kept there instead of in GAIA
the argument from the fact that all the
prisoners kept there are arrested on
state charges and are regularly dealt
with, the same as IL arrested by consta-
bles. The report closes with the regret
of the jury that the careful examination
of the Jail discloses the fact that it is
very filthy and unsanitary, that it is not
fit place in which to incarcerate pris-
oners, that the bedding is lousy and the
floors and walls are filthy and no. prop
erly whitewashed and painted. The
clerk and attorney have made their in
vestigation since the bomb shell was
thrown by the grand jury, and will file
their report in the court next week 1t
is said it will largely confirm the grand
jury report.
