Some misunderstanding seems
to exist in regard to the manner in
which a panel Of jurors is selected
for a term of circuit court. Some
people whose names are included
in the list Of eligible jurors think it
strange that they are not called
upon to serve, and some have gone
so far as to censnre the board of
county commissioners under the
impression that the commissioners
make up the panel and have viii
fully slighted them. Briefly the
manner Of drawing jurors is as fol-
lows: A list Of 200 names Of per-
sons eligible to jury service is kept
on file with the clerk Of courts.
When a jury is to be empaneled
the required number Of jurors are
drawn by lot from this list Of 20o
/
names. The COMMISSIONERS then
select the names Of other persons
eligible to jury service sufficient in
number to Fill out the list Of 200 tc
be fled with the clerk Of courts
ready for the next term Of court
Thus it often happens that a per.
sons name remains in the clerks
list for several years before it il
drawn for actual jury service. Tht
IIonly responsibility that the com
Imissioners have in the matter is t
! lsee that only the names of suitable
4 persons are permitted to get int
1 the clerks list, and this duty W,

TAMPICO RESIDENT
WILL SUE FOR DAMAGES

Over LOCO acres of the Burden farm
south of Tampico are under water
this spring on account. it is claimed,
of the canal ditch. Charles Burden
says that a suit will probably be be-
gun this summer against the govern
ment for $1,000 damages on account
of the land being flooded The cul-
vert which conveys the dredge ditch
under the canal is said to be entirely
too small and also clogged up with
dirt which backs the water up on the
east side of the canal and floods over
1000 acres of good farm land. The
Burden farm consists of nearly 1000
acres, and half of this is rendered
useless. When the dredge ditch was
put through the farm a drainage tax
of $4,000 was paid and now the ditch
is worse than ever on account of the
canal. No crops were raised last year
and it is feared none will he this year.
all of which Mr.. Burden thinks justly
entities him to obtain damages.-Ster-

Claims Guns Were Drawn.

Breen testified that as he returned
down the stairway the younger man
exclaimed to his father: Here comes
that -7- of Il mate again. and
to draw his gun. The mate
testified that before he had secured
his own weapon the young man had
his weapon entirely out of the hol-
ster and the old man had his gun
nearly out when he shot him. He tes-
tilted further that the young man
made a move to shoot before he shot
him. He said that he used his left
hand in the shooting. while Rydequist
said Breen used his right hand.
Shortly before o'clock the defense
finished with the direct examination
of the mate and Attorney Let's for
the plaintiff took him upon the cross
examination. But little was devel-
oped upon the cross-examination be-
fore court adjourned for the day.

MATE TEsTIFIEs
Dan Breen Tells Story of Killing
of Two Leonidases Last
Summer.
WITNESS IN SUIT FOR DAMAGES
Claims Both Men Were Drawing
Their Guns When He
Fired.

Particular interest attached to the
proceedings in the trial of the Leoni-
das case in the Scott county district
court yesterday afternoon from the
fact that, Mate Dan BreeQ, of the
steamer Dubuque, who did the shoot
ing, was placed on the stand and for
the first time made public his version
of the affair i'm which he so quickly
snuffed out the lives of the two medi-
cine men on the boat in front of this
city last summer.
The story he told was an interest
ing one, though much of the testi-
mOny in regard to the conversation
he had with the men was ruled out
by the judge as irrelevant.
The Mates Story.
The mate was put on the stand
about o'clock as the chief witness
for the company, which is resisting
the efforts to recover for the death
of the two men. Under the question
ing of n. ID. Ely, attorney for the de-
Tense, he told his story
Breen testified that he saw the men
come aboard and that trouble imme-
diately began TO result over the stor-
"SC VI thc biSSdSS ONHtu DN lIlt INO
medicine men. They had several
packages, among which were boxes,
trunks, and a tent, along with two
bicycles and a large dog. He testified
as TO having had several conversa-
tions with the younger Leonidas, but
the exact wording of these conversa-
tions were ruled out in each case for
the reasons stated above.
Finally the story of the shooting
itself was told. He related how he
had talked with Dr. Schwartz, the st.
Louis physician, making remark
about the Leonidases being cowboys
without hcrses and turned and saw
the younger man standing almost di-
rectly behind him, and of how the
younger man had gone to ask DIR.
Schwartz, and he had heard the
younger man question the doctor
concerning the conversation which
had taken place there. He said that
when it became evident that there
was going to be trouble he went to
the clerk of the boat and procured
the revolver.
