Eldora. Oct 29.-The case of the state
of Iowa VS. f. S. Blydenburgh, charged
with murder of his wife by poisoning
was yesterday on motion of defendant
attorneys. continued until next term.
The case of A. BuckholtZ VS.. the city
OF Radcliffe was called up today. The
plaintiff seeks to recover damages In
the sum of $4,000 for alleged injuries
received last winter by falling over q
wire guy rope supporting a horizontal
bar planted in a little used street at
the rear of A. n. brakes residence.
1t appears that Mr.. Buchholtz claims
to have been driving a COW along the
street in the evening and his foot was
caught in the wire and he was thrown
with great violence to the frozen ground
receiving severe internal injuries from
which he probably will never recover
The case will be hotly contested and
will probably occupy the remainder OF
the week.

Special 10 Times Republican.
Oskaloosa, Oct 29.--The boys who
cut down Henry Brandt's bee tree
and took the honey have to pay for
same. Judgment against two oc the

costs, amounting to 1860. making a
total of $3.50 to be paid by the boys.
No Judgment could be rendered against

The case was brought by Henry

sued for the sum OF $50 The boys
located bee tree on the premises of
the plaintiff. They cut down the tree
and appropriated the honey. The
plaintiff caused the arrest of the boys
and sought to recover the price Of the
property. He claimed that between
200 and 500 POUNDS OF honey had been
taken and the bees destroyed. In the
Adjudication OF the case the value Of
the tree cut down was estimated at

and the value of the honey taken Sill
making total of 500 The question
of the ownership of wild bees was ar
gued carefully. The defense claimed
that the bees were the same as wild
animals and were open property, but
the court did not find judgment IN ac-
cordance with this theory.

Student at coe College Meets With
Great Accident.

II.
Webster City. Oct. 29.-.-Mrs. May
Rhoades, OF this city, milliner at the
Burleson Dry Goods Store has just re-
ceived word of peculiar accident
which befell her son. Ralph. at Cedar
Rapids the other day. While out at
Eagles Nest Gin. the young man had
the misfortune to fall backwards over
the cliff, siNty-five feet TO the shore
below. He escaped almost without a
scratch.
The young man is attending Cos Col
lege at Cedar Rapids. and is in his third
year at the institution. He is financial
manager OF the football team. The
students OF the college were holding a
picnic at Eagles Nest cliff They had
gone out In the afternoon, but the foot
bal lteam and their manager for some
reason did not come out until in the
evening. 1t was dusk when the latter
party joined the remainder of the
student body at the cliff. Young
Rhoades had gone to pail of water
for a drink. The pail sat near the
cliff. Ralph did not realize just how
close 1t was TO the precipice, and in
some way fell backwards over the cliif.
1t seemed impossible that the young
man could escape without serious in
jury and party was sent to the
bottom, expecting, OF course, TO find
him In precarious condition. They
found him, however, practically un-
hurt.
In his descent he had struck the pro-
truding sides OF the cliff two or three
times, which must have broken the
force of the fall. The escape seems
miraculous, and the students are re-
joicing that their picnic was not turn
ed into mourning party.

Special to Times Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Vail, Oct. 29.-News has been re-
ceived here that Henry Weidrick, son
of Mr.. and Mrs. H. Weidrck. has COM
mitted suicide by hanging. DR. E. c.
Vein was sent for but life had been
extinct some time before he arrived,
and there was nothing to be done. The
direct cause of the boys deed, OF
course, is only to be judged from cir
cumstances. 1t seems that he was in
town Saturday, and was seen by some
parties to take some rubber hose from
the rear of the Brocksly blacksmith
shop which was reported to Mr..
Brockelsly. Sunday forenoon the lat
ter drove to the farm and spoke to the
father about he,matter and the hose
was returned to its owner. Both he and
Mr.. Brockelsly spoke to the boy about
the theft and gave him to understand
that he had done wrong Nothing more
was thought of the affair at the time.
The boy was sent out to dig potatoes
for the noon meal. Not returning his
sister was sent out after him, and
found him hanging to a strap which
was fastened to hay knife In the side
of a stack, and the fatal moose about
his neck. The parents were at once
notified and cut him down. but too
late, as life had fed. and help was be-
yond reach
It has developed since that he had
said to some children that he would
some day hang or kill himself, but this
was some time ago. The stealing Of
the hose and the scoldins given him
must have temporarily unbalanced his
mind and caused him to commit the
deed.
