Holds That Verdict Was OBJ
tanned by Quotient, and Was
Therefore Irregular
WILL MEAN ANOTHER TRIAL
Before the Case is Reached in the Dis
trict Court, However, it Will Be Car
ried to the Supreme Court by the
Defendant Point An Interesting
One.

Judge Burnham, in the district court
this morning, set aside the verdict IN
the case of John Ward VS.. the Mar
shalltown Light Power & Railway
Company, on the ground that the YER
dict was secured by q quotient. 1t
will be remembered that the jury re-
turned a verdict Of S67 for the plain
tiff, who sued for $4,000. The plain
tiff, in arguing motion for a new trial,
and to set aside the verdict, alleged
that the verdict was obtained by a quo
tient, and was therefore irregular. The
defense set up the claim that tho a
quotient was used there was no de-
cision to abide by 1t, and the amount
of the verdict was determined and
agreed upon soon after the quotient
was found.
The point involved Is an interesting
one, and the fact as to whether or not
the verdict was obtained by quotient
will be left to the supreme court to de-
eide. While the setting aside of the
verdict by the court means new trial,
the case will not be reached In the dis
trict court, until the supreme court
has given it's ruling. The MARSHALL
town Light, Power & Railway Com
pany will appeal the case from the or
der Of the court in sustaining the mo-
ton to set aside the verdict and grant
ing a new trial

al, and the only way we can account
for it is that people have decided 1t rs
better to get their presents off early
than to wait until the last few days
before Christmas. Express companies
are always swamped just before
Christmas, and it is work all day and
all night without resting. we are
prepared for the rush, but are already
doing nice business to points across
the water and to the Pacific coast.
Agent G. w. Bartmess, of the ADJ
ans, says that he sees every indlcaUoh
of an immense holiday business. Long
shipments are already starting IN good
shape. but the rush will not begin UNI
til about week before Christmas.
Our business has not begun to show
much of q rush az yet, said Agent
Ed Abbott of the WellsF Fargo. "altho
we have had some longhaul stuff.
look for a big rush this year. as all
conditions are favorable. We usually
do not expect much aside from rdin-
AIRY business until about the 18TH and
then no rush until shortly before
Christmas"

OLD TROUBLE RESUMED.
Bad Fight at st. Anthony Results /,
Criminal Action.

Sad Fight at st. Anthony Results IN
Criminal Action.
A fight between two young men liy
ing near ST. Anthony, that occurred
Saturday night on the streets of ST.
Anthony, has resulted in criminal
action being filed by Robert Lloyd,
brother of one of the young men con-
cerned. 1t seems that for some time
bad blood has existed between Patrick
Lloyd and Charles Dunn, which again
eliminated in the encounter OF Satur-
day night. Two years ago last fall, at
Clemens, the men met in a bloody fight
which ended in Dunn being pretty bad
ly used up. Lloyd was the worst in
jured in the recent encounter, and ac-
cording to his brother is suffering from
a badly confused head, the result of IL
blow from some hard instrument, a
badly lacerated finger, resulting from
coming in contact with Dunn's teeth,
and other bruises. Dunn was also in
jured, but not SO badly. No words
were spoken, it IL claimed, before the
fight began, and the men, upon meet
ing, went at one another hammer and
tongs. The information file. by Rob-
ert Lloyd Is In Justice C,arks court,
and charges assault with llltent to do
great bodily injury. Deputy Sheriff
Alva Nicholson left for ST. Anthony
this morning with the warrant for
Dunn's arrest. Friends Of the young
men say both are fine fellows, out that
they will insist on trying to effect a
settlement Of The old grulge between
them. Dunn is son Of Mr.. William
Dunn, who lives seven miles north
east Of st. Anthony, near the Hardin
county line. Lloyd makes his horne
with Patrick Dunn, three miles north
east Of st. Anthony, and is nephew
Of Mr.. Thomas Dunn.

Mrs. P. Fl. King Hatton. who is now
not Mrs. Hatton, but Mrs. King, the
charity CRATER, who has been working
the susceptible people of the country
for several years, arrived in the city
Monday evening and spent the night
here. Mrs. Hatton has been in Gilman
and Grinnell since her visit here little
over a week ago. She says that the
people of Gilman and Grinnell have
been very kind to her and aided her
materially. She spoke in the highest
terms of the Methodist pastor at Gill
man, whom she said was exceedingly
kind. When seen Mrs Hatton said
that she had never been here before, to
the best of her knowledge, or If she
had she did not remember of 1t. She
said her name was not Mrs. Hatton.
but Mrs. King. She never went under
the name Of Hatton, altho to some OF
her more intimate friends she might
be known as Mrs. Hatton, she admitted,
after having been informed that only
week ago she was Mrs. Hatton. The
woman insisted she could not walk
when the train arrived here. and Train
Caller Deuel. and the Iowa Central
brakeman carried her from the train
to the depot in rocking chair After
arranging her toilet she was able to
skip about the waiting room as lively
as any one, altho she used her crutch-
es to good effect. A hard luck story
was told to a young man In the de-
pot, with the result that supper was
furnished her. Mrs Hatton still has
California In view, and says that she
has some very kind friends In that
state. She thinks the climate In Call
ifornia will agree with her.
During the night Mrs. Hatton evil
IDENTIFY played on the sympathies OF
some of the night passengers, to the
extent of a ticket to Montour,. where
she went yesterday. 1t required the
services of policeman and three small
boys to load her and her abundance or

Winter Session of the Iowa State
League to Be Held Here on
That Date
WILL MEET At THE PILGRIM
Official Notice Of tho League Meeting
Has Been Received Here Session
Will be an Important One - Mem :
bership of the League Will be Deter
nnlned-Longer Schedule,

Official notice OF the winter meet
ing Of the Iowa State League, which
will be held in this city on January III,
has been received from President
Frank c. Norton. This will be the
most important meeting Of the year. as
several matters Of the greatest import
ance to the organization are to come
up. The cities who are to be members
will be determined upon and the length
Of the schedule for the coming season
will be determined. The representa-
tives will hold their meetings in the
parlors Of the Pilgrim hotel.
The adoption Of the constitution and
bylaws, prepared by the committee at
Oskaloosa several weeks ago. is Of pri-
mary Importance, and a wordy battle
will be precipitated over the guarantee
clause. The cities which will form the
circuit for the coming season will be
determined upon and those proposed
for membership will be expected to
place in the presidents hands the $500
forfeit money, as they did last spring.
At least one change in the league Will
be made. Ft. Dodge will very likely
drop out and will probably be the only
city Of last seasons circuit which will
not be represented. Its successor will
be determined, and President Norton is
authority for the statement that three
other cities are after It's franchise. The
length OF the schedule and the date for
Its beginning will also be settled. 1t is
very likely that newt san aop'c cobad,,1a
will contain probably dozen more
games thar did this years. The sea-
son will also probably not begin before
the middle Of May. and will run until
the latter part OF September.
Word received from Manager Robert
G. Warner Is to the effect that he will
probably come to the city to attend the
meeting, altho not q delegate.

few rounds had the Rabbits on the
run. The battle wound up with
large score, 20 for the winners and IL
for the others. The Imperials' victory
was due more to their ability to land
