ATTORNEYS OUTLINE BOTH
SIDES OF CUNNING CASE

Mt. Ayr, Jan. 2S.-Evidence in the
Day Dunning case has begun. Trustee
John E. Scott was on the witness stand
practically all day yesterday. He tes-
titled that the bank was insolvent on
January ID, 1904 and Tom Maxwell for
the defense spent hours in cross exam
ination on every feature of the banks
condition. The defense asked to ex-
clude the bank books from evidence on
ground Of compelling Dunning to tes-
tify against himself. Judge Evans
overruled the request on the ground
that Dunning voluntarily turned the
books over to Assignee John Patter-
son.
The state, as announced by Judge
Henry in his opening statement, will
attempt to prove that Day Dunning,
sole owner Of the Citizens bank, knew
that the bank was insolvent when he
accepted the deposit Of the Sewers
Lumber Company on January
Is, 1904. The prosecution promises tc
introduce numerous witnesses to prove
that Mr.. Dunning shortly before the
failure estimated the assets at from
IS to Is per cent of the liabilities, and
admitted that the bank should have
closed some years before. Local mer
will swear to the small value of the
real estate and securities, while e
perts will testify that, even counting
the face value of the securities, the

EDITOR HELD
EDWARD RosEwATER OF OMAHA
BEE ACCUSED OF
LIBEL.

Omaha, Neb., Jan. %. ~ Edward
Rosewater, editor of the Omaha Bee
has been bound over to the district
court for trial on the charge of Grim
inal libel preferred by G. ], Mahoney,
chairman of the executive committee
of the civic federation. The finding Of
Judge Vinsonhaler of the county court
was that criminal libel had been com
mitted and that there was probable
cause to believe that Edward Rosewa-
ter committed the offense charged.
Mahoney vas the only witness called.
His direct examination was very brief
but he was subjected to a thorough
cross-examination by Attorney Cornell.
The alleged libel consisted in a charge
that Mahoney had appropriated $4,000
of Bartley's treasury shortage and Con.
nell's questions were directed to bring
ing out the facts of Mahoney'sa rela.
tons with BARLEY as lawyer for his
defense.

NEW ARMORED CRUISER
MARYLAND QUEEN OF SEAS

Boston, Jan. $3.50 successful was
the speed trial of the new armored
cruiser Maryland yesterday that naval
officers believe she has taken the palm
from the Pennsylvania as queen of
the seas" Against the most unfavor-
able weather conditions, with a wintry
northwest vino striking her abeam.
the vessel made an average speed Of
22.306 knots ar hour, while the Penn
sylvania in her trial, under far more
favorable conditions, made 22.43 knots.
1t was unofficially announced by the
trial board last night that the tidal
corrections for the trial of the Mary
land were in the ships favor by from
IL to Is of a knot. If this tidal cor
rection is over .124 of a knot the Mary
land will become the holder of the
speed record for her class. The high
est rated speed of the battleships of
the United States navy is 10 knots,
and those belongin~ in this class are
the Georgia, New Jersey, Nebraska
and Rhode Island. Those of IS knots
are the Connecticut, Kansas, Louisi-
ana, Maine, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio,
Texas and Vermont. All of the ar
mored cruisers have a sped of % knots
except the New York, which is rated

assets amounted to only ,$403, 900, as
against S493,0 900 liabilities.
The defense, as outlined by F. r.
Fuller, will show that the Citizens
bank failure differed from many recent
failures in that there can be shown no
forgeries, no misrepresentation OF
funds.
Poor judgment there may have
been, and too much liberality in loan
ing money to poor men," said Mr.. Full
Ter, but not one bit of evidence of in
territorial fraud"
The defense also proposes to show
by an expert that the face value of the
assets is greater than that claimed by
the state, and that the real value would
have been much greater if Mr.. Dun
ning's creditors had shown considera-
ton. The defense will offer in evil
dence the list Of debtors of the bank,
which is certain to create consterna-
ton among many local people.
OF the twelve jurors eleven live on
farms, and all are from distant parts
of the county. Half the jurors are
under 35 years of age, arr only one is
over 80. They are men of substantial
character. The actual time of their
selection, five n a half hours, was.
the longest ever known to be taken in
Ringgold county for the selection of a
jury. They are being kept absolutely
from communication with the public,
which is a new practice here. The
court room is crowded with spectators,
who come from all parts Of The
county.

Last of Her Type.
The Maryland was built for the
United States government by the New
port News Ship-Building and Dry
Dock company. Her contract speed
requirement was % knots.
The Maryland is the fourth and last
of a type of fast cruisers to have a
trial off Cape Ann. OF the three which
have preceded, the Pennsylvania was
the speediest.
The Pennsylvania and the Colorado.
which made 22.24 knots, We're built by
the Cramp Ship-Building Company of
Philadelphia. The West Virginia, the
third sister ship of the Maryland, was
built by the Newport News company.
This ship average a speed Of 22.14 on
her official run.
Surpasses the BattIeships.
A common mistake is to place the
armored cruisers, on account of their
name, below the battleships in fight
ing rank. On the contrary the vessels
of the Maryland type are the finest
lighting machines in the American
navy. Compared with battleships
they cost s650,o0O more, or s4,25O,OCS
against $4,000, 900. They are some
thing new in the United States navy.

Abba, Jan. %. - This city was
visited by another DISASTROUS
fire again this morning at about
2 o'clock. when the people rel awak-
ened by the fire alarm they found the
Armory almost entirely ablaze. With
this much Roadway it was impossible
to save the building which was en-
tirely destroyed together with the
house On the west adjoining o. ,belong-
ing to Mrs. Shelley and occupied by
Walter Riggs. who but recently moved
here from Oskaloosa. The household
goods we're about all saved. Mr.. Har-
rison Hickenlooper's house on the east,
was saved with difficulty, 1t having
been on fire several different times.
The Armory has been built only about
two years and was a very commodious
and substantial building Of which Co.
A, and Abba were justly proud. A
quantity Of military stores vas in the
building which kept up a constant ex.
plosion, A stranger present was
struck in the face by a flying explosive
but not seriously injured. The origin
of the fire Is not exactly known but
as last night was the annual inspec-
ton it is supposed that the fire caught
from the stores in some way. It will
not be an entire loss to Co. A, as they
held some insurance. The fire COM
pany experienced great difficulty in
obtaining a team to draw the engine
to the scene of the fire.

which must follow before the Russian
populace is thoroughly awakened to
the possibilities of a real revolt and
the significance of a struggle for lib

1t is believed here that the govern
ment, fearing that the numerous re-
cent reverses to the Russian arms at
the front would soSadd to the discon-
tent that the people generally would
take up arms in civil war, ordered
Kuropatkin to gather his forces and
deal the Japanese a crushing blow.
Explains Battle Now On.
This is said to explain the move
ment of a division across the Hun
river. Kuropatkin evidently was sue
~cessful in carrying out the orders Of
the authorities. for from Manchuria
comes the news that the Japanese have
been driven back.
This report has had an electrical eff

people and in re-establishing conf
dence in the government.
Locally the strike situation generally
is improving. In ST. Petersburg there
is no longer any doubt that the strike
is practically broken.

Fighting in Snow.
London. Jan. 2S.-The battle on the
Shakhe and Hun rivers which the
world has been expecting daily since
last October is in progress.
It is a battle fought in the snow and
fog of a terrible Manchurian winter.
The cold is intense, the mercury reg
listening zero and below. Binding
snow storms and dense fogs conceal
the movements Of the troops. No more
gloomy settling for a battle scene can
be imagined.
On Thursday the Japanese began
moving against the Russian right, at
lacking viciously Russian positions
lalong the Hun river, where that
lstream bends southwark.
Inside the Russian lines the belief
existed that General Nogi's army, ar
rived from Port Arthur, was in re.
serve, supporting the movement.
The Russians claim that they not
only beat off the attack after severe
fighting but that they advanced in the
evening to the line of Hugoudi and
Hounlitadzy.
Throughout the night and all day
Friday the artillery was at work, the
cannonading constantly increasing in
strength and extending farther along
the center, becoming fiercer every min
ute.
Forces Are Large.
General Kouropatkin is believed to
have at least 800, 900 mel at his dis.
posal, while Oyama's force is equal if
not superior.

inforced by 10000 or $4,000 troops re.
Gently before Port Arthur and that he
has received hundreds Of pieces OF
heavy artillery, including siege and
