spec,al to Times Republican.

Baskerville. May 13.-Fred Lenn1ns
a young man aged "a years ana ilViis
with an older married brother just
over the line in Minnesota. was ELMER
the victim OF a murderous assault or
attempted to commit suicide. both
men occupied rooms on the ground
floor. with only a board partition, out
no door between About o'clock In the
morning the older brother and his wife
were awakened by a great noise IN the
young mans room, Mr.. Lenning hur-
ried to the scene of the noise, but had
to pass thru two rooms, which took
some little time, and when he entered
his brothers room found him lying on
the bed in a pool of blood, unable to
speak.
investigation showed that the man
had deep cash beginning at the nose
and extending diagonaliy across the
upper lip. cut thru to the gums and
with such force that two front teeth
were broken off. There We're two long,
deep cuts across the throat. one or
which severed some OF the muscles Of
the vocal chords, rendering speech Inn
possible There was also a stab lower
down in the throat. but not very deep.
After the wounds We're dressed and
the muscles sewed together the young
man was able to speak in a whisper
and declared that he did not attempt
suicide. but that some one attacked
and stabbed and cut him while he slept.
In the darkness. he said. he could only
see the outline OF a human form and
has no idea who his assailant was.
The physicians say it would be next
to impossible for a man to intiict such
wounds upon himself with pocket
knife. the only instrument found in the
room, and especially such cut as the
one which broke off the two teeth. The
doctors believe the young man will re-
cover, but his speech may be per1na-
nently impaired. He has had no thou
BILE with any one and says he has no
idea who committed the e"ed. Some
of the neighbors are incl | to hold
to the theory Of suicide. however. An
investigation will be made by the au
thorities.
Lenning was taken to relatives near
Armstrong in order that he might re-
ceive better treatment. His family
formerly lived I'M Wright county.

Arrives at Waterloo and Is Taken Into
Custody for Alleged Arson.

CUSTODY TOR AHe9eo Arson.
Special to Times Republican.
Waterloo. May ID. G. Willing was
locked in cell at the county Jail by
Sheriff J. D. Caldwell at $3.50 o'clock
yesterday afternoon. Vikings arrest
occurred a few moments previous at
the fremont hotel. The accused man
was arrested on warrant which was
issued on one of the five indictments
returned by the grand jury, naming
arson. Willing arrived in town on
Wednesday night, and had been quar-
tered at the fremont hotel. His arrest
was at the instigation of the county le-
gal department and was made purely
for the county's protection. Willing
was taken completely by surprise. and
as this is the first time he has been
placed in the county Jail he naturally
resents the performance considerably.
His arrest was made quietly, and
without attracting attention from any
persons about the hotel or on the
streets.

ed or the people be aroused.
The issue of imperialism which has
been thrust upon the country involves
a decision whether the law of the lana
or the rule of individual caprice shah
govern. The principle of imperialism
may give rise to brilliant, startling,
dashing results, but the principles OF
democracy holds in check the brilliant
executive and subjects him to the So
Der, conservative control of the people.
The people of the United States stand
at the parting of the ways. Shall we
follow the footsteps of our fathers
along the paths of peace, prosperity
and contentment, guided by the ever
living spirit Of the constitution which
they framed for US, or shall we go along
other and untried paths, hitherto
Stunned by all, following blindly new
ideals. which, though appealing with
brilliancy to the imagination and ambl-
ton, may prove a will O the Wisp, lead

RUSSELL SAGE LOSES
Federal Court Decision In Land Case
Favors Settlers.

Federal Court Decision IN Lana Vase
Favors Settlers.
Russell Sage, assignee in trust for the
Hastings & Dakota Railway company,
lost case in the United States district
court yesterday before Judge Lochren.
The case involved farm lands to the ex-
tent Of 1,120 acres The farms were six
in number, one being In Swift county and
five in Stevens. ."..t
The land in question has been occupied
for twenty years by homestead settlers.
The suit was one In equity. Russell Sage
maintained that the land belonged to the
railroad under grant given to the COM
pany by the state. The settlers claimed
the land as homestead entry.
Some time ago, when the contest was
pending before the general land office,
the secretary Of the interior, not having
been notified Of the contest, by mistake
certified the lands to the state for the
benefit of Sage under the terms of his
grant.
The decision Of Judge Lochren was an
oral one In favor of the settlers. It Is
expected that the case will be appealed
