Kisson on the criminal trial to occur

Kisson on the criminal trial to occur
next November.
The case of Moody Bros. VS.. w.
w. Seayer was dismissed, while
Peter Lloyd secured judgment on
the pleadings in his case against
Redwood Falls township. The case
of George w. Smith VS.. Gottfried
Hoepner and Tom Arnett, a thresh-
ing machine case, resulted unfavor-
able to the plaintiff, who was given
verdict Of $91, but Hoepner had
made a tender of 800, and thus the
costs were thrown on the plaintiff.
S. L. Pierce was the attorney for
the defendants.
In the case of Chas. w. Mead VS..
H. F. Jackson, an action brought to
recover $23 claimed to be due on a
windmill purchased several years
ago the jury brought in verdict
for the full amount and interest,
amounting to 80, in favor of the
plaintiff, Bowers & Howard, attor-
neys.
Probably the biggest victory OF
the term was that won by VIM. G.
Owens, rising young attorney OF
Walnut Grove, in the case of John
A. Lucy VS.. r. r. Freeman, when
he secured an order dismissing the
case after the plaintiff had intro
duced all his evidence. The case
involved a business transaction OF
John J. Dittbenner, and Judge
Weber contended that Mr.. Free
man was right in every particular,
from the evidence of the plaintiff
even, and granted the motion to dis
miss the case. Mr.. Owens prepar-
ed the case and was assisted at the
trial by /. M. Olson and Frank
Clague. A stay of 40 days was
granted. This was the last case
tried and court adjourned at
O'Clock Saturday afternoon.
The James X. Sloan case is to be
tried in chambers during vacation.

The Man Of Many Mysteries.

Professor Newman is undoubtedly
the most prominent, popular and sue
cessful hypnotic entertainer now ira
Yelling through the west. His match
less performances here last year are re-
corded in our memories as most mystic.
rious and interesting, much more so,
because, he is a person whose remark
able talents, the public failed to ex-
plain. Since his last appearance in our
city, Newman has added number of
new hypnotic puzzles which are said to
be far in advance of anything of a like
character ever seen here.
Newman is busy man and an ORR
ginal thinker, always striving to secure
something new and novel in the field
Of mystery.
For his present engagement, he will
present the most bewildering hypnotic
demonstrations he has ever produced.
The leading feature is Mr.. New.
mann's Hynotic Seance, unique and
startling conceit, with which he fairly
dumfounds the audience, demonstrate
ing the marvellous power he so success
fully exerts over the people, who are
bound by his spell.
In addition, Mr.. Newman will pre-
sent the very latest novelties in Mind
Reading. "The Sealed Envelope" and
The Lost Family"
Tho scientific, the entertainment is
overwhelmingly funny and complete
satisfaction is guaranteed to all who
attend.

Too much credit cannot be given
the children of the public school for
the wonderful work they have con
plished the past winter. They have
been very industrious IN their studies,
passing most creditable examinations
in the various branches. Besides
their regular school work. which was
indeed arduous, they have done a
great deal in the way of preparing
and giving entertainments, for the
purpose of raising money with which
to buy II suitable bell. clock, aud en-
cyclopedia, for use at the school
building. There is a spirit OF pride
aud ownership manifested 10y the
scholars in the school which is indeed
commendaDle. They seem to feel
that the school belongs to them, and
that the work accomplished is the
work Of their own hands, and that
they are themselves responsible for
its welfare. This is the right spirit,
aud it serves to keep up the record
for good lessons, department aud the
general well. being Of the whole
school. 1t serves to put them ON
their metal when 1t comes TO giving
an entertainment, to see that all they
do is done Just Ms good as possibly
eau be done. They are deserving Of
a great deal of lcredit for what they
have done, and are doing now.

 News from Guatemala shows that there is much feeling on the part of British residents regarding the non- payment of the debt due to their bond holders and it is asserted that the Brit- ish legation will be removed from Guat- emala City to either Nicaragua or Sal- vador.

DODGE WAS GUARDED
DETECTIVES OF JEROME SHADOW
 IMPORTANT WITNESS.
Counsel for Man Brought From Texas Claims 1t is With His Permis- sion-No Development
 Until Friday.

New York, Dec. 25.-Charles F. Dodge. who was brought back to this city rom Texas on Friday to stand trial on charge of perjury. in connection with the Morse Dodge divorce tangie. ana who was released on his own recogniz- ance yesterday at the request or DIS trict Attorney Jerome, was guarded to- day bv several members of the detec- tive staff attached to the office Of the District Attorney. He received no vis- itors, and did not leave his hotel
 His attorney, former Assistant Dis trict Attorney James W. Osborne, said that whatever has been done by Mir. Jerome, in providing suitable guards for Dodge has been wholly acquiesced in oy Dodge.
 q shall do nothing further in the case until MT. Jerome takes up the matter. probably on Wednesday," said MT. Osborne. T have not seen Dodge since yesterday. I don't think he ob- jects to the guard placed over him. In fact, I know Mir. Jerome was aware before the detectives were detailed to keep Dodge in sight that Dodge acoui- esced in the matter.
 It is said that there will be no move ment made in the case 'until Dodge goes before the grand jury. probably on Wednesday, and that he will remain under guard until the District Attorney no longer needs him as witness.
 District Attorney Jerome today stated that he had not called on the bar as- sociation to take action against certain lawyers in connection with the Dodge Morse case.
 T wish to deny the statement cred- ited to me-" said he, that have asked the bar association since the return of Dodge to take cognizance of the manner in which certain lawyers inter ested in the case have conducted them selves. I put that denial bluntly."
 MT. Osborne, speaking of the prob able action of the bar association, said:
 Tt is almost certain that the bar as- sociation will take some steps in the matter, but not until MT. Jerome has completed his investigation of the case. I do not think 1t likely that the bar as- sociation will make any move until Mr. Jerome Is all through with the case; then, if there has been anything done amiss by counsel in the case, the bar, association, as soon as 1t can feel that 1t has a right. will act. if the District Attorney does not act"
