Cruelty and Consideration.


The modern lady sat down to her
luncheon. The principal dish was a
young SQUAD that belonged 20 al eN.
tremely interesting and beautiful
family of pigeons. The father and
mother pigeon had met their fate a
day or so before at grand shooting
match. AS for the squad, not having
any father or mother left, it was bet
ter, perhaps, that he should fulfil his
mission by satisfying the hunger OF
such charming human being as the
modern lady was,
After she had finished her luncheon,
the modern lady called her maid and
directed her to 60 upstairs and get
her winter coat. This coat was made
of baby lambs wool. The lives of a
great number Of baby lambs had been
sacrificed in order to make this coat.
And it was natural for the modern
lady to say:to the maid:
ssNow, Katy, when the fuErier calls
hand him this for storage, and tell
him to take good care Of it, as am
greatly attached to it,
Then she went upstairs to get ready
to 60 out.
She put on her soft walking boots,
furnished by an afectionate young
kid; also her gloves, furnished by
another kid. She put on her hat, up
OF which was poised beautiful bird:
This had once been alive and had
sung in Southern forest, but one
day he had been shot down, and now
the modern lady was surveying him
critically in her mirror.
AS she stepped out of her door, and
paused moment for her carriage to
come up, if she had been OF refec-
tive turn of mind, or If the subject
had specially interested her, she
might possibly have considered for a
moment the number and variety Of
animals that had been murdered to
make her surroundings more luxuri-
Gus. Through the window in the hall
was the dim outline of a magnificent
moose head. shot last year by her son
in a Canadian forest. On her floor
was tiger-rug skin brought from In
die. On the shoulders of her coach
men were monkey capes. In fact,
no matter where the eye rested, the
remains of some dead animal or bird
testified to mans wonderful skill and
ingenuity of slaughter.
But the modern lady was pursuing
no such rehectioa. On the contrary,
her observation was directed solely to
a stray dog that had wandered incon-
tinently upon the premises and was
looking up at her from safe distance
with strangely pathetic eyes.
She rang the bell again.
Katy she said to the maid, II
left part of a SQUAD on my plate.

door and give it to hin9 Poor little

GRAVES GETS NEW TRIAL.
Was Convicted Of Wife Murder in
First Degree.


Des Moines, May 3.-Judge Nc
Henry, after hearing testimony and
the arguments in the Graves murder
case, set aside the verdict returned
by the jury in the former case and
granted new trial to the defendant,
c. w. Graves. AS Judge McHenry an
nounced his decision Graves broke
down and wept for Joy.
The matter was taken up in the
criminal court in the morning and the
greater part of the day was consumed
in hearing the testimony of Frank
Brice, to whom Foley, the juror, is al
legged to have made his questionable
statements, and others intimately con-
nected with the evidence. Brice
stated that Foley had said to him a
short time after the murder Is alleged
to have been committed, THAT d-n
scoundrel killed that woman" The
statement was not denied, but an at
tempt was made to prove that the re-
mark was made more in the spirit OF
Jest than in earnest.
Testimony was also offered showing
that Foley indicated by his actions in
the jury box during the progress Of
the trial that he was intensely inter-
ested in the prosecution of the defend.
ant. He is alleged to have given vent
to his feelings Of satisfaction When
ever a point was scored by the prose-
cution by calling the attention OF his
next neighbor 1t was also shown
that he attempted to exert his influ-
ence after the jury had retired.

BANKER BROWN
IS INDICTED
The Grand Jury Finds Four
True Bills Against
Him.
OVER SHELDON BANK FAILURE
Member of Railroad Commission
Must Answer to Court--More Than
a Dozen Indictments Were Returned
Against Brown and His Two Sons.

Sheldon. May 4.-Tho O'Brien
grand jury has voted four 1ndlct-
ments against Ed. G. Brown OF the
Iowa railroad commission and pres
ident of the failed Sheldon state
bank. The indictments charge irreg-
ularities in the banks affairs, one
count charging an embezzlement OIL
$4,000. This count charges tnat
the bank loaned this amount to ). W.
Fix & Company, Of which firm Earl
Brown, cashier Of the bank, was a
member. Other counts deal with
sums ranging from $4,000 to $6,ooo.
The bank originally had capital OF
100000, which was reduced half IN
1892. 1t is charged that the new or
ganization carried $4,000 OF worth
less paper, making it insolvent from
its inception. One count charges
Brown with borrowing $4,000 on his
personal note from a Chicago Dank
and later having the amount charged
against the Sheldon bank. IT IS
charged in another count that on
April 10, 1908, the bank declared a
dividend OF $4,000, when 1t was IN
solvent.
Indictments were also filed against
Earl w. Brown and Ed. c. Brown,
Jr., more than a dozen being returned
against members of the Brown family.
The court has fixed the bonds OF the
defendants at an aggregate OF $72,0Oo.
Some time since many OF the de-
positors of the Sheldon State bank,
which failed last November, got to-
gether and employed a special ex-
aminer to go over the books OF the
bank for several months prior to the
failure. AS result, when court con-
vened Monday many OF the deposl-
tors, the examiner, Receiver Ady and
others went before the grand jury,
while Ed. C. Brown and some of his
friends were here and doing all pos
sible to prevent the finding of the in
dictments. In spite Of their efforts,
however, indictments were found on
five different grounds, !embezzlement,
fraudulent banking and others, all
arising from the bank failure. There
will be no trial at this term OF any
of the defendants, but preparations
will be made for trial at the Septem-
Der term, if possible. 1t is expected
that all of the Browns who have been
indicted will make appearance and
give bonds today.
According to an estimate by per-
sons who have gone over the assets
of the bank, it is thought that de-
positors will get from 80 to so per
cent, though it Is not likely that any
considerable dividends can be de-
clared until fall, and after hearings
have been had on various petitions of
Intervention and other matters got
ten into proper shape.
