Thrilling Story Of Adventure Is Re-
NeaIed in the SIInrenoa Court

thrilltnS Story OF Adventure Is Re-
vealed in the Supreme Court.
Des Moines, Aug. 5.-The Iowa SUI
preme court has been called upon to
decide whether or not an irate parent
Of giddy girl has right to chastise
with horsewhip the young man who
engineered the elopement Of the girl
with another young man; and il this
is not a statutory parental right,
whether 5000 is sufficient balm for
The. wounds of the young man.
The case of Shoemaker VS.. Jackson
has just reached the supreme court on
appeal from Montgomery county 1t in
wolves thrilling story of adventure
In the quiet little town of Villisca one
year ago. Helene Jackson, daughter
OF the leading doctor of the town, had
become enamored Of one Newell Wey-
err but the senior Jackson frowned
upon their attentions to each other, and
put the usual obstacle in the way of
love making, with the usual result.
Finally, one night, an elopment was
planned. 1t was arranged through two
chums, Clarence Shoemaker and Agnes
Hubbard. Miss Hubbard was with
Miss jackson in the latter's room. Late
at night the good doctor thought he
saw light in his daughters room. He
Shifted and the light went out Again
he was aroused by the shrill whistle,
and this was repeated twice before he
finally went with his son out into the
yard. There he found Weyer and gave
him a chase without success Then he
ran into Shoemaker, who protested he
vas innocent of any wrong intent.
Like in the romances the good doctor
went to bed, and later his wife became
apprehensive, and they found on ex-
animation that there was a ladder set
up against the window, and the room
where the two young ladies were pre-
sumed to be sleeping was vacant.
The long distance telephones were
kept hot for, few hours, but at day
light the doctor met Shoemaker re-
turning leisurely to the town with a
buggy. He said he had taken the girls
to certain town where they wished to
go. The doctor rushed off furiously in
that direction, and later found the
clippers had gone the other way
1t was the next day that the good
old doctor bought horsewhip, and
meeting young Shoemaker OF the
street invited him into his office. The
door was locked and the boy was given
sound whipping.
The jury gave young Shoemaker a
verdict for 5000 on his claim of dam
ages for his bleeding shanks. The
doctor had put in counter claim o.
damages done his daughter by The
conspiracy to which he claimed Shoe
maker was party as he claimed wher
he got her home she was i'll for som,
time.
The affair was the sensation of tn,
day in Villisca, but was kept out OF
the papers until this time. DR.. Jack
son, the appellant, claimed that the
judged erred in refusing to submit hi!
counter claim to the jury. He claim OF
that under the circumstances lie had 1
right to whip the young man in his of
flee. The jury sympathized with til,
young man.
