trip down the south branch Wednesday
as far as What Cheer. The trip was
made In order that the officials might
again inspect the coal fields owned by
Thompson & Walker located southwest
of the town OF Rose Hill. The owners
of the tract Of land are anxious that
the c. & N. w. should build branch
line that would penetrate the fields so
that new mines could be opened. This
is the second "Trip of inspection in that
country that these officials have made.
OF course the railroad men Of this city
are anxious to see the mines opened
and hope the company will decide to
build a new road as it VIII mean an

Clear Lake.
The people living in the south part
of the township are making an effort
to get road located on the section line
between sections ii and Ia and IL ana
Is. the road to run toward Clear Lake.
In connection herewith the intention is
to thoroughly drain the two marshes
which lie near the said section line.
The board of supervisors has
been investigating somewhat the
grounds for damages filed against the
county by several of the farmers whose
land is under water as a result, they
say. of the lake being damned up at
the outlet. The board does not con-
slider that the county is liable for any
damage, because the dam placed at
the outlet has not had the effect of
keeping more water in the lake than
would have been kept there without
the dam. Without the dam the lake
might break out there during high
wind and do a great amount of dam
age below, there being no way to con-
troll it, The farmers who ask damages
are Frank Robb and Fred Warner, $50;
r. j. Scherf. $780, Gustave Knope. $50;
l.. Grell, $50 A. w. and Hans Halvor-
son, S1G0; Frank Robb. $50; Jens
Grandson, $75, and c. Thomas, $25.

Worthington, Mimi, April 20.-lThere
Is a feeling here today that Mrs. Au-

Muscatsne may be convicted Of the
murder OF her husband In Adrian, MINI.
because 1T DIS said that the state has
made a better showing than it did al
the first trial of the woman. II is also
believed that 1t will succeed in intro
sducing certain testimony which was
not admitted at the former trial when
the jury disagreed, the vote standing
IL to for conviction.
The trial is now in progress. Tes-
tmony has been taken since last
been offered yet. Yesterday afternoon
however, the state endeavored to get
before the jury the situation in an Ad-
nan bank, where Mr.. and Mrs. Krause
were occupied for two hours in set
ting their financial matters. This Is
expected, it is said. to bear upon an
alleged motive for the killing OF
Krause. This evidence was not permit
ted to go before the jury in the former
trial.
The state expected to close yesterday
afternoon. 1t is Thought the case will
go to the jury Saturday.
While very little interest is taken in
the case there Is a feeling that the
state has accomplished more than it did
at the former trial.
