NOT AT OLD HOME.
Mystery Of Henry Hroer's whereabouts
Not Yet Cleared Up.

Special to Times Republican.
Eldora, Feb. 13.-The whereabouts
OF Henry Broer, the prosperous and
well known farmer living near Hub
bard, is still a mystery. A cablegram
was received here yesterday from his
old home in Germany, which read. "He
Is NIGHT here"
He is a medium sized man with red
whiskers. sprinkled with gray. and is
about SO years old. The family and
friends are making every effort to To-
cate him. but are, as yet, without a
clue.
The gravest fears are entertained
that he is temporarily insane, or has
been foully dealt with. No cause can
be ascribed for his continued absence,
unless insanity or foul play. His fam
fly life was happy and he is In good
circumstances financially. The :rou-
bic in church affairs may have some
thing to do with his mental condition,
hut the fears of his friends are that he
has met with foul play.

Loss of About $4,000.

Keosauqua. Feb. ls.-Fire at Leba-
non on Friday night burned Wilson
Bros store. The fire was discovered
about 1890 o'clock at night, and was
beyond control. Only four barrels OF
coal oil and u pair OF scales were saved.
The postoftice was in the same build
ing, but there was little loss on that.
Wilson Bros were insured for $1,000
on stock, but the building, which be-
longed to G. B. Humphrey, is a total
loss, as he had no insurance. The valu-

Judge Byington Overrules Mo-
ton For Change of Venue
In Gallagher Case
THINKS FAIR TRIAL CAN BE HAD
Court Points Out That the Defendant
is Not to Be Tried on Murder Charge
and Evidence Already Given Can Not

eral Iowa News.
nec,al TO Times-Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Iowa CITY. Feb. 13.-Judge O. A. By
ington today overruled the motion 1or
change of venue in the Gallagher per-
jury case and set the date Of trial Feb
%.
Mrs. Gallaughers attorneys argued
for a change of venue on the ground
that the acquittal Of Mrs. Gallaugher
of the charge of numbering her nus
band last June had so enraged the
people OF Johnson county, both thru
newspaper accounts and false tales
carried from mouth to mouth that the
defendant would be unable to secure
fair trial. Judge Byington refused to
allow the motion because he felt con-
WINGED that Mrs. Gallagher could OBJ
tain a fair trial He pointed out the
great difference between the opinions
as to guilt or innocence which men
may entertain from general KNOW
eddge of a murder case gained from
newspapers and common report ana
that which a man will form VINO goes
on the jury sworn to form his opinions
according to the evidence and the IN
structions Of the court. Judge BylnB-
ton pointed to the acquittal OF Mrs.
Gallaugher three months after the MUIR
der as an instance in point or the
possibility of obtaining fair trial
notwithstanding common opinion OF
guilt.
Judge Byington further pointed out
that Mrs. Gallaugher is not to be triea
for murder but for perjury committed
at the coroners inquest and stated
his belief that twelve men could be
found to try the case and not give
in verdicts of guilty because they be-
lieved the defendant guilty of another
crime than that for which she is to be
tried.
Judge Byington said Of the press re-
ports of the murder and interviews
with the county attorney concerning
what he expected to be able to prove:
These press reports are not of such
character as to prejudice, they are
what is commonly expected Will be
printed in connection with case of
this character. People expect some
thing like the newspapers have been
printing about the case. And, with
all due respect to the newspapers, do
not believe that it is the opinion of
people generally that newspapers al
ways have the absolute truth in
them. Some exaggeration is always
granted to newspapers, it is enough If
we believe that what they bring in
true in the main, or has some solid
basis of fact"
AT the conclusion of Judge Bying-
tons statement of his reasons for over
ruling the motion for change of Venue,
George B. Holbert, Mrs. Gallaugher's
attorney, insisted on trial as soon as
possible. County Attorney FairchflG,
who had accused Mr.. Holbert Of inten-
ton to delay the case in arguing
against his motion for change of venue,
was forced to plead for time and finally
secured postponement Of the case until

and those who go outdoors much.
