TOWN PLAT PROBLEM
Discussion Turnout Different Counties
as to Whether or Not Abstracts of
Title Provided for by Law Shall Be
Recorded With Town PIats.

Eldora, March "a new point of
law relative to recording town plats
is causing much discussion in many
counties of the state. BY act of the
last general assembly 1t was provided
that an abstract of title must be at
tached to each plat. together with GER
.tificates Of the treasurer, clerk and re-
corder, as to taxes Judgment and in-
cumbrances before the same can be
filed for record. The point in ques-
ton is whether the abstract should be
recorded with the plat. Such thing
has never been done in this county
hut as the attorney general and other
we'll known attorneys have given an
affirmative opinion it is probable that
all plats OF towns and additions will
have the complete abstract of title to
land so plated recorded with the plat

THE JURY DISAGREED
No Verdict Arrived at in the Lavelleur
Murder Case at Newton-Jury Stood
Eight to Four for AcquittaI.

Special to Times Republican.
Lavelleur murder case was discharged
at o'clock Saturday evening. being
unable to agree. 1t is known that the
first BALLOT stood six for conviction
and six for acquittal. After a short de-
bate on one juror over to the side of the
defendant, making the jury stand to
S. The third and all succeeding ball
lots, OF which a large number were la
ken, resulted S for acquitsal and for
conviction. Only one change was made
after this result had been reached and
that was in ballot taken late Satur-
day afternoon when two of the jurors
who had been voting for acquittal OF
Mrs. Lavelleur turned over and cast
their ballot for conviction. The cange
was made with the hope that it would
lead one or more of the four holding
out for conviction to repay the COM
pliment, and possibly make the jury
united in freeing the woman.
The jurors say they did not consider
the evidence given by Mrs. Langran
in any way and were governed entirely
by other developments Of the trial In
reaching their conclusions.
A new trial of the case will result,
but when 1t will be called Is at present
uncertain. The general feeling about
the city after the state had closed its
evidence in the present trial was that
Mrs. Lavelleur should be acquitted.
The sympathy of the public was clearly

STRIKE IN DIES MONIES.
Edison Electric Light Company EN-
pioyes Walk Out.

Edison Electric Light Company Em-
pioyes Walk Out.
Special to Times Republican.
Des MONIES, March "A strike OF
considerable proportions took place
here Sunday morning, when sixteen
firemen, oilers and haulers and other
employees of the Edison electric light
plant quit work They are striking for
an eight hour day at full pay. AT pres
ent they work twelve hours for full pay.
Their places were filled instantly with
other men. 1t developed yesterday that
the managers of the plants, while hop
ing that the firernen would accept their
proposition for conference, had ar
ranged to protect the plants in case
there was a walk out. The twenty or
more vacancies were filled on the in
slant, and the fires did not burn low for
a second and while the street cars
moved promptly the engines of the light
company continued to energize the dy-
namos which kept up the light supply
for elevator and other private use dur
ing the day and for city lighting during
last night.
No trouble was anticipated on ac-
count of the strike at either plant. The
men simply quit work at 6 o'clock,
which was the end of their shifts. in ac-
cordance with their notice. The shift
which would ordinarily have gone on
did not pick up the shovels, and after a
few seconds the new men were put to
work.
During Sunday afternoon the Trades
and Labor Assembly took cognizance of
the strike of the firemen and practically
decided that 1T had been begun in ir-
regular fashion and that the men ought
TO go back to work and meet the pro-
posal of the managers of the companies
for conference and arbitration. Acting
on this advice the strikers last night
notified the managers of the street car
company and of the Edison light plant
that they would return to work this
morning or last night, if necessary, and
would submit their demand and the
companies proposal to conference to
be held this afternoon at 2 o'clock, COW
ering the whole controversy.
