LEGAL POINTS IN DITCH CASES
Attorney. For Appellants A'lese IN
constitutionality.

onawa Dec. The hearing IN the
d;+ch anneal cases of Addison Oliver
from the decision Of the board OF sup
ervisors Of Monona and Harrison coun-
ties, ON the big Monona-Harrison dltch
closed Saturday evening as to the 1es-
timony Of the petitioners. Judge ADD
son oliver will have sixty days from
date TO introduce his side Of the case.
Som interesting legal points have
been raised by appellants attorneys,
who contend in their objections ana
exceptions filed that the laws as pass
ed by the Thirtieth general assembly
are UNCONSTITUTIONAL and that the
whole proceedings in regard to the
decentralization ditch, so far, are IL
legal and void.
Appellants claim that the supervisors
elected In Harrison county cannot act
to determine matters in Monona county
and that supervisors elected in Monona
county, cannot act to determine as
sess,nents and costs levied in Harrison
county and that chapter 6S Of the Thir-
tieth general assembly authorizing
them so to do Is in violation of the con-
stitution Of the state Of Iowa, and UNI
lawful: that the board Of supervisors
of Monona county are without jurisdic-
ton to establish drainage district in
Harrison county, and that authorities
of Harrison county cannot act In Mon
ona county; that the board of supervis-
ors Of said county are only responsible
to the people OF their respective coun-
ties: that the attempt Of said law as
passed is in violation Of the constitu-
ton Of the state of Iowa, and interferes
with the local self government Of the
counties Of Monona and Harrison by
permitting tribunal not elected in or
for said counties to determine the es-
adjustment of a drainage district of
their own, and to provide for taxation
against property not within their jur-
isdiction.

RANKIN AT MT. VERNON.
Moulder Orator Will Continue orsani'
zation of Marshal Clubs.

Moutder Orator VIII Sout'Huo " S""'
zation Of Marshal Clubs.
Mt Vernon. Dec. Hon. A. c. Ram
kin, known for years as the mouloer
orator but who in recent years mas
gained more than statewide notorlety
by his activity In the interests OF tenn
perance, and who is the father Oh the
state marshal club bill that was de-
feated by the Iowa Legislature, but that
created wide comment. has entered the
field Of activity again after short
vacation, and has been engaged in
holding meetings here for the past
three days in the interest of his move
ment.
The meetings have been held In the
Methodist church and have been at
tracing large crowds each evening, and
much enthusiasm has been manifested.
Mr.. Rankin Is an eloquent speaker
upon all subjects and when he Is EN-
gagged In the discussion Of the temper
arce question, and in explaining The
workings Of his favorite pet scheme Of
enforcing the liquor laws, he seems to
outshine himself and his oratory is
beyond resistance, carrying the aud
fence with him on all questions.
The object of the state marshal clubs
as explained by Mr.. Rankin is not to
annul the prohibitory law nor to re-
peal the mulct law, nor in fact in any
way interfere with any existing lee.is-
lation. but on the other hand the clubs
are intended to be an aid to the en-
forcement of any and all laws on the
statute books, and their especial effort
is directed toward the enforcement Of
all existing liquor laws.

JEALOUS MAN KILLS THREE.

Professionalism Suicides.

Murders His Wife, Child and Their
Protcctor-Then Suicides.
Rochester, Ind, Dec. 7.--Insane jeal-
ousy of his young and pretty wife, last
night, drove Gilbert Burns, a school
teacher. to kill her. his infant child and
Joseph Grippe, with whose mother the
young woman had sought refuge.
Then, walking to the home of his sis
ter, three miles distant, he blew out his
brains. The only witness Of the triple
murder, Miss Martha Braman, is ly-
ing in a critical condition from wounds
sustained from stray shot.
Shortly after o'clock last evening,
Burns appeared at the door of the Grippe
home. His hands were behind him and
he appeared to be sober and in his right
senses. In response to his knock Mrs.
Burns went to the door. She threw II
open, her baby Juggling at her dress.
I'm going to settle all this right
now" exclaimed Burns, standing in the
light that streamed from the doorway.
Instantly he drew from behind him a
short barreled shotgun and, leveling it,
fired. The first shot killed both mother
and child. Grippe left the supper table
to learn lie CiLuSe lOI lllc SuOC.
"For Gods sake don't" he be-
gan, but Burns, with laugh. fired o.
second time and Cripe's plea never was
finished. 1t was from this discharges
that some of the shot struck Miss Bra
man. She was seated in the little din
ing room while the tragedy was being;
enacted.
With another laugh Burns disappear
ed in the darkness. He appears to nave
sauntered leisurely to the home OF his
sister, for he did not arrive there until
nearly o'clock. Then he calmly recit :
ed the details of his crime and lnocked
at the horror in his sisters face.
'Don't worry" he said, there Will be
no public raking UP of the case. In
tend to finish 1t right now"
Selling his shotgun. which he nad
previously loaded, he walked into tne
yard. Placing his head on the muzzae
of the weapon, he kicked the trigger
with the toe of his shoe. His head was
completely blown away. Ten minutes
after his self destruction posse reach
ed the scene, having tracked him 10
his sisters home.
