In tn. District Court.

In the district court Monday after
noon, the evidence in the II. D. East
Kirk case was concluded. The argu-
merits, however, have not yet been
made.
The case Of Arthur Andrews. q Lo-
gan township farmer. itvig north Of
Vancleve VS.. Dickerson & Wallace. q
grain firm Of Melbourne, was called
for trial this morning and a jury errt
paneled. The opening statements were
made this forenoon. and the work Of
taking evidence was begun this after
noon. The action is one wherein the
plaintiff seeks to recover $1s5 for corn
delivered to the defendant firm. Tho
latter refused all the plaintiff de-
manded because 1t claimed the corn
was not according to contract. The
case has been tried before, and a YER
dict for the plaintiff was given by tha
fury. The verdict, however, was set
aside.
A settlement was effected in the case
Of the Merchants National Bank OF
Grinnell VS.. e. r. Boban, ct. al. The
action was one in which the bank held
a joint note signed by ten farmers who
had purchased a stallion. A Tow. one
Of the number, failed to pay his share
of the note. amounting to 5000. and
suit was brought against all the MAX
ers Of the note. Mr.. Tow made the
payment today. however. amounting
with interest to $231.50.

Ada Rehan Appears in Superb Produo-
ton Of Shakespearean Comedy.
An attraction Of more than ordinary
interest and merit, despite the fact that
first class attractions are more than
weekly occurrences, was presented at
the Odeon last evening in a superb
production by Miss Ada Rehan and
supporting company Of Shakespearean
comedy. Miss Rehan, who was Of ma
tional renown more than quarter Of
a century ago, and who is one of the
few members Of the old school Of Am
erican actors and actresses still be-
fore the public, has surrounded her
self with an excellent array Of talent
and her production is most superb in
every way. "The Tanning Of the Shrew"
was the bill In which Miss Rehan her
self selected to play in Marshalltown,
that being her choice of repertoire
Of legitimate comedy In which she is
appearing this season.
While the age and the school Of the
noted actress are considered, Miss Re-
hans production is most artistic in
every way. AS the willful termagant,
Katherine she appeared to excellent
advantage, and one can not help but
admire her talent. and recognize the
fact that she is a most wonderful wo-
man. An actress age is her stock in
trade, and yet Miss Rehan carries her

FIND MONEY IN TRUNK
Search Thru Effects Of Mrs. Martha
Mecum, a Ward Of tho County Who
Died Apparently PenniIess at tho
st. Thomas Hospital, Reveals Cash
Aaareaatina $296.45.

Tucked away in ten or a dozen tobac-
trunk, was found by Overseer of the
Poor Harmon Pemberton, $296.45, the
property Of Mrs. Martha Mecum, who
for many years has been ward OF the
county, and who died few weeks
ago at st. Thomas hospital, apparently
without funds or relatives.
Upon investigation Of the relatives
of the deceased, Mr.. Pembertqn To-
Gated daughter in Philadelphia, and
while going thru the personal effects
of Mrs. Mecum, to send them to the
daughter, the money was found, where
evidently some of 1t had been hidden
for years. One hundred and fifty dol
lars was in small change, mostly 5
and 10 cent pieces and quarters. One
hundred dollars was in paper, and the
rest in gold. Where the money came
from will probably never be known. but
from the smallness of the denomina-
tons of most of it, 1t must have been
collected little at time and secretly
boarded away. The peculiar phase of
the case is that both Mrs. Mecum and
her husband, who died a year or more
ago at the poor farm, were wards of the
county, and had been, Mr.. Pemberton
said, for twenty years.
For long time prior to few years
ago, Mr.. and Mrs. Mecum lived in the
old house just this side of the Linn
creek brf1ge, on South Center street.
While living there the county always
paid the house rent, both of the old
people being practically helpless. and
also furnished them with fuel from
time to time. About two years ago
they were removed to the county farm,
where Mr.. Mecum died. Mrs. Mecum
then left the city, but later returned,
and again became dependent upon the
county for aid. She was found by Mr..
Pemberton seriously Ill, and evidently
desperately poor, in an old house on
Mitchell street, and was removed to
st. Thomas hospital, where she died
a week later. An administrator will
be appointed to look after the wom-
ans estate.

Judge Caswell Dismisscs Case
Against Him In District
Court
STATE RECOMMENDS ACTION
Motion to Dismiss Made by carmean's
Attorney, and County Attorney
Northup Concurs-Procedendo and
Written Opinion of Supreme Court
Filed-costs Amount to $500,

The case Of the state OF Iowa VS..
N. A. Carmean. charging embezzle
ment, was dismissed by Judge Caswell
Monday afternoon, upon the motion of
Mr.. Carmean's attorney and the recon-
mendations of the states attorney. The
case was called to the courts atten-
ton, and the motion, or request, in
troduced by the defendant attorney, to
the effect that dismissal be entertain-
ed and the bond discharged. was made.
Judge Caswell asked County Attorney
Northup for his recommendation, and
the county attorney recommended the
dismissal.
The procedendo and written opinion
of the supreme court, which recently
reversed the lower court, has been fill
ed in the district court, and Judge Cas-
we'll stated that it appeared from the
examination of the opinion that no
criminal act had been done by Mir.
Carmean; that the opinion also found
that no criminal intent was shown;
that evidence that had been offered to
sustain the states case. such as books
and papers, was Improperly admitted;
that some of the instructions We're
wrong, and that the indictment was
faulty, being much broader than the
facts, and it seemed to be held by the
supreme court that neither a criminal
liability nor civil liability was shown
against Mr.. Carmean. The order was
then entered, that on recommendation
of the county attorney the case was
dismissed and the defendants bond
exonerated, and the costs taxed to the
state. The costs in this court and the
supreme court, which Marshall county
will thus have to pay, in this case. will
be nearly $500.
This action makes Mr.. Carmean
free man, with no criminal action
whatever standing against him, and
relieves his bondsmen from any La
bility whatever. The sentence Of the
lower court, on the embezzlement
charge, after a jury had found the
defendant guilty in the transaction
with Roemer & Miller, of Hampton,
was two years in the penitentiary at
hard labor. Mr.. Carmean, who was
formerly at the head of the Rhoades-
Carmean Buggy Company, Of this city,
is now engaged in the buggy business
i'm Los Angeles Cal.

RABBITS WIN ONE.
Take First Victory From the Japs.

The Rabbits, the last Of the league
teams to tear loose from the no per-
centage division, broke the string Of
by walloping the Japs in a game OF
much hitting and frequent errors, by
the score Of % to 16. The Rabbits
figured anything to win a game, so the
score was not considered in the bat
tie, and as a result three Of the six
teams are now a tie for fourth place.
with each having one more game to
play. From the start the Rabbits took
the lead, and by the end of the fourth
inning We're almost out of the reach Of
their opponents, the score then being IL
to 2. Eleven more they made in the
remaining innings. The Japs were
slow in getting away from the scratch,
and it was not until the fifth inning
that they got under Roadway. From
that round until the finish they gave a
creditable account of themselves by
scoring a dozen runs. The lead the
winners had secured, which was help
ed some almost every inning by addit-
ional scores, was too much for the
Japs to overcome. The teams lined up
as follows:
Rabbits-Redel, catch: Ritter, pitch;
Hall, first: Moffatt, second; Bailey.
third; Wood, left short; Pinkerton.
right short; Cole, left field.
Japs-Gettle, catch; Heitshu, pitch;

Petitions for Aid Come Almost Entire.

Petitions for Aid Come Almost Entire.
Iy For Widows and Sick.
Judging from applications made for
aid to Harmon Pemberton, overseer OF
the poor, almost all married men of
the city, who are willing and able to
work, have employment. The bulk Of
the solicitations for help comes from
Widows and those families whose
bread winners are sick and unable to
work. Mr.. Pemberton says there are
about fifty widows with families in
this city, who either thru sickness or
inability to get work, are compelled to
ask aid. The number Of requests this
winter have been below the average,
and last year they were the smallest
for many years. The recent cold
weather has increased the demand only
little and most of these requests
have been for fuel.
