Special to Times Republican.
Allison, March 1S.-The fact that
there was no coroners inquest to de-
termine the manner in which Henry
TackmaR came to his death under
mined the contention of the Yeomen's
order that he was suicide and was
responsible for the verdict of the jury
in the case of Sophia Tackman VS.. the
Yeoman. which has been on trial
here. The jury refused to allow the
claim of suicide presented by the fra
ternal order, In which Tackman had
carried insurance, and ordered the
payment of $4,000, the amount of the
policy to the widow.
The case was one of the sensa-
tional order. Tackman was found dead
in his barn, n halter around his neck
and fastened TO the peg above. When
the body was cut down life was ex-
tinct. The Yeomen. under the circum-
stances attending the death, declined
to allow the claim for insurance until
forced to do 50 by the absence of any
proof that Tackinan had come to his
death in any other than normal way.

History of the Glorious Flag shor,
But Momen.ous - Exciting Stray
gle Takes Place on the Roof Of the
High School Building - Ended by
Interference Of the Principal,
Special 10 Times-Republicar..

Special 10 Times RepublicaL.
Clinton, March 1S-According to a
report which has just leaked out there
was a lively color rush on the top %
the high school building. in which the
members of the junior and senior
classes participated. The reason for
the trouble was the unwonted display
of class spirit on the part of the jun
Tors, who. with enterprise most original
had caused their colors to be placed
on the Flagstaff OF the building, there to
float in the morning breeze.
The early arrival Of the seniors was
opportune. for once they came in al
vance of their principal. eager in the
pursuit of their studies. They saw
flag of red and white of ample dimea-
sions, f1oAting from the Flagstaff. bear
Ting on its folds the magic figures II
"'o5' Their Indignation was awfi.
They entered the building. vowing ven-
geance dire on the daring juniors, VINO
had thus usurped the rights of the sem
Tor class of the high school. They as
cended the stairs, not with stealtay
sips, but with bounds, intending 10
bring down the banner. But on reach
ing the roof another surprise awaited
them. There lay a guard of juniors
who had volunteered for the support
of their colors. There waNed fight
most valiant around the standard, and
those below who were on the street,
wondered what the trouble could Be.
The principal arrived and went to his
office. While engaged In routine work
| he was annoyed by a continuous
noise Not being able to locate the dis
turbance he asked some Of the pupils
LIE they knew whence the tumult came,
The answer came back ION the roof
! The principal assembled the stairs, and
gave an order that the banner must
come down.
The history of the flag was short
but momentous. The juniors held q
secret meeting not long since and de-
cided that they would have a flag,
which would be credit to their class.
Accordingly fair haired maiden was
selected for the task of Betsey Ross
After nights Of hard work the needle
work was finished and the wonderful
creation was ready for the next steE.
The banner was eighteen feet long and
nine feet wide, half red and half white.
On the white half the figures 'o5 We're
embroidered in red in six feet lengths.
The next question was how TO get the
flag up. but this WAS finally solved.
All the boys Of the junior class volun-
teered TO assist in raising their en-
blem. They met in the high school
building in the dead of night. A win
dow was found which was not locked
and with the aid OF skeleton keys,
there was nothing to bar the way
They hoisted the flag. tying the ropes
so securely that they could not be I'M
fastened. Then they wendell their way
home, but were on hand early ths
next morning to see that the senior
members did not lower their emblem.

Edward Hall, a farmer who until
few weeks ago made his home with his
father, William Hall, in Marion town
ship. was convicted of larceny in JUS
tice Jones' court and fined s25. He
appealed the case to the district court
and furnished 5000 bond. Hall was
arrested in Sioux City by officers there
on information from Constable H. F.
Buchanan, of LeMars. He was accom-
panied by his wife and they had tick
cts to Spokane, Wash. Hall claims
his arrest is due to dispute over the
ownership of some hay. On Dec. % the
Halls, who have resided in Marion
township for many years, had a sale
preparatory to going to Washington to
live. At the sale Frank Nothem
bought stack Of hay agreeing to pay
for it on measurement The hay was

Subsequently Hall had quantity of
the stack hauled away and disposed OF
it in town.. claiming that there was
more hay than Nothem had paid for.
Hence the suit.
