Newton, Dec. 81. - The trial or NIL
lard Buck for the murder of William
Porter will probably occupy the a
ance of this week and may commune
until after Christmas. The defense THIS
morning put four witnesses on the
stand to prove the good reputation OF
the defendant prior to the shooting OF
Porter. They had others to TESTIFY a
long the same line, but the court de-
clined to allow more than four W.T.
nesses to testify on the point, as the
roint was not contested by the state
1t is generally considered that the de-
fense is making a strong case in the
direction of Bucks mental unbalance
This morning several witnesses tes-
tilted in behalf Of the defense as TO
threats they a heard Porter make to-
wards Buck in an effort to show thai
Buck had reason to believe Porter
would harm him. One witness testl-
fed to seeing Porter shake his fist IN
Bucks face and strike him three times
and used vile language toward the de-
PENDANT.
Emma Oml testified that on the a
urday before the Monday when the
crime occurred she was talking 70
Buck when Porter came up; that Por-
ter swore at Buck and she ran lnto
the house. Another witness testif1ea
that after swearing at Buck on the

Nevada. Dec. 21.-Papers were filed
al the clerks office in this city yes
terday, in an action iii which Robert
Kirk. a well known citizen Of this place
is made defendant in a 100000 damage
case. brought by Miss Mayrtle Har-
kins, a young lady who worked at the
Kirk home as a domestic for some time.
AS a cause for action, Miss Harkins
alleges seduction and breach Of prom
Use, saying that Mr.. Kirk Is the father
Of her unborn child. Miss Harkins,
who is a comely young woman Of about
twenty-five, states that intimate rela-
lions existed between herself and Mr..
Kirk before the death of his wife,
which occurred some time the latter
part of June and that he accomplished
his desires thru threats to dismiss her
and promises Of marriage, which
promises he now refuses to carry out.
The defendant Is a man about sixty
five n has always been respected as
one Of the most respectable men of the
town and county. He has considerable
property both in this city, where he has
a magnificent home and in the south
part of the county, where he owns a
large farm. The news of the action
comes as a great blow to his family
and friends, who have explicit faith in
him. The young lady made her home
with the Kirk family for several
months and was staying there at the
death Of the wife, leaving shortly af-
forwards. 1t is understood that she
is now in Des Moines. The case will
be bitterly fought as the amount asked
is large and the charge so serious. j.

with a Des Moines attorney in the
plaintiffs case, while Attorneys Addi-
son of this city and Underwood OF
Ames have been retained by the de-
fence. The case will doubtless be
tried before Judge Evans at the jan
uary term of the district court.

Interest.

SpeCidl W
Webster City, Dec. 81. = There has
been a large crowd present all day
dence. in the trial of County Superin-
tendent Gerber for an alleged assault
and battery upon the person of Pro-
lessor l.. II. Ford, superintendent OF
city schools. Several ministers Of the
city were in the audience yesterday.
The case will not take so long a period
of time for trial as had at first been
supposed.
The principal witnesses in this case.
of course, were Professors Ford and
Gerber. Each made a very good APP
pearance upon the stand but in the
essentials as to just what happened In
Superintendent Ford's Office where the
assault is alleged to have occurred,
their stories are Numerically opposed
to each other. Mr.. Ford is resting his
case largely upon the testimony of Drs.
Hall and Whitley and himself. Pro-
fessor Gerber relies for his acquittal
upon his own testimony corroborated
by that of his son Ralph. There are
other witnesses whose testimony will
count of course for both sides.
Professor Ford's recital of h al
legged assault lays the entire blame for
the affair upon Professor Gerber and
brands him as the assailant. He told
in detail just how the assault was
committed and stated that he had been
struck from behind OF the back of he
head by Professor Gerber, that he a
also been dealt a heavy blow in the
face, all of which rendered him UNI
conscious for a time and laid him 10"
for several days. He admitted that ne
had said to Professor McNowan thai
he would have shot Mr.. Gerber 1t ne
had had a gum.
Professor Gerbers testimony was
almost the direct opposite OF Mr..
Ford's. He also told in detail how ne
had gone to the superintendent ONCE
to see if he could in some way stop the
suspension of his boy from school,. he
stated that Mr.. Ford had refused 70
see him and that he waited IN an ante
room several minutes before ne was
permitted to enter. He told OF v
sation between the two men and stated
Professor Ford was in a wild state OF
feeling over the matter. He stated tnat
Professor Ford called him a falslner
and that he replied that Ford too va
a yiolator of the law-referring to Ger
tain laws regarding school books. Al
this. he recited, Ford rushed upon MIN
with a statuette and that In protect
ing himself, he had thrown up ms
hand. striking Ford in the jaw. rms
he alleges was the only time that ne
struck Mr.. Ford. He stated that Fro
lessor Ford made threats to n
set about to find a revolver.
"Was Professor Ford down on tne
floor at any time you were in ms
office" asked Attorney Boeye. for the
defense.
mo" replied Professor Gerber.
"Was his back turned upon you at
any time"
mo"
"Don't you admit" asked D. G. Chase
on cross-examination, that you struck
Professor Ford purposely?
mo; I do not"
It is believed In court circles that
this case will go to the jury sometime
today.
