Cedar Rapids, Dec: 1.-The case Of
Pisel VS.. Rothrock which has just
been argued and submitted the Jury has
been far and away the most sensational
case Of the term thus far and one fill
ed with most exciting incidents. The
personal feeling developed in the trial
of the case was remarkable and at
time was so great and of such char
acter that the audience was on the qui-
vive in anticipation of an actual con-
flict. Matters progressed so far at
one time that the lie was freely pass
ed between opposing counsel and bets
of thousand dollars to nothing were
offered with no takers. 1t required the
strong hand of the court and his de-
.cided action to maintain order.
The climax was reached, however,
this morning, when e. A. Johnson, in
his closing argument for plaintiff and
stung by the remarks Of Major Smith
and Mr.. Crosby, who had Just preced-

shape Of q rhyme that he evidently had
concocted himself, but the effect was
