TOM DENN|SON
IS ACQUITTED
Omaha Policy King Is Found
to Be Not
Guilty.
JURY HELD SHORT SESSION
Two Hours Of Deliberation Are Suf-
ficient to End One of the Most
Sensational Trials in the History of
the Hawkeye State.

Red Oak, June 6.-Tom Dennison,
the Omaha politician, was acquitted
by the jury last night. The jury re-
turned its decision at 11:15 p. m.
The verdict was handed to the bailiff
by Foreman George r. Cooper and
then given to Judge Green who read
the momentous words, mot guilty"
at 1923 p. m.
Immediately on hearing the ver-
dict Attorney George Egan grabbed
Tom Dennison and Rugged and kiss
ed him several times. Then Egan
started to congratulate the jury, fol-
lowed by Dennison who heartily
shook the hand of each juror and
warmly thanked him. Attorneys Con-
nell and Junkin also congratulated
each juror.
None of the attorneys for the state
were in the court room at the time the
verdict was read but all the court
officers were in attendance and about
score of spectators.
Mrs. Dennison anxiously waited for
the verdict at Hotel Johnson.
The jury was out two hours and a
quarter. Two jurors out of twelve
at the beginning voted against &C
quittal.
Congressman Smith completed his
argument at $50.
Judge Green then read instructions
and the jury retired at $50 to delib-
crate on the verdict
The court room was packed to the
doors for the night session. Finely
dressed women predominated. The
heat was almost unbearable.
Attorney w. ]. Connell openly ac-
cused Elmer E. Thomas, attorney for
the Omaha Civic federation, in court
yesterday Of having dynamited his
own home in Omaha last November
to secure sympathy for himself and
hatred against Tom Dennison. Thorn
as turned white with rage at the
charge and Kissed back at 0nnell,
"You lie, you lie." Judge Green
promptly ordered the two attorneys
from the court room, but before go
ing Thomas apolpgized to the court
and Connell did later.
In the ante-room, the two men came
together again and but for the pres
ence of a deputy sheriff might have
gotten into personal combat. Thomas
kicked at Connell as he came from the
court room but did not touch him.
Then followed an exchange of many
oaths and much bitter abuse of one
another. Thomas invited Connell
out on the lawn to settle their differ
ences. but Connell calmly replied that
he would wait until he got back to
Omaha.

MYSTERY EXPLAINED
Henry lochty, Old German, Knew
Dead Mans Secret


Des Moines, June 9.-The Dubois
mystery was cleared in Judge Howe's
court yesterday. Henry Lochty an old
German, a bosom friend OF Dubois,
was the only man who knew the Sec
ret of the dead contractor, and to
whom had been confided the informal
ton that would have sent Dubois to
the fenitentiary.
Lochty, who had evaded the service
of the subpoena for days, was brought
into court yesterday morning by the
sheriff and told the secret which was
supposed to have been held by DR..
Hoffman, and which up to the trial
yesterday had never been divulged.
Lockty testified that Dubois fire.
quently gambled and spent money ex-
travagantly. Just before his death
Dubois had confided in him the Sc
cret of the three wives, and given
the address of each. 1t was on his
instructions that Lochty sent the
mysterious kilograms which brought
Mrs Mary Dubois of Denver and Mrs.
Melvina Dubois of New Orleans to
join Mrs. Victoria Dubois Of Des
Moines He had first signed a ficti-
tious name to the mysterious tele-
grams but later signed his true name.
He said the only reason he kept the
secret was because he didn't want to
become involved in the case.

Reach 100000.

Keokuk, June 1.-THE great food
covering and devastating thousands
of acres of fine Iowa, Missouri and
Illinois farming lands, villages and
railroad tracks, sweeping livestock,

yards, Keokuk Canning companys
tomato and cucumber farm of thous-
and acres, beside losses of large
number of others in the waters wide
track, aggregate enormouse sums.
So unexpected was the food, which
resulted from the heavy rains of Fri
day, that many thrilling scenes Of es-
cape and rescue were witnessed IL
the Mississippi and Des Moines river
bottoms, and Alexandria peolie went
to bed feeling secure and awoke to
find several feet Of water in their
homes.
The roar of the water was heard
two miles. Riley Smallwood, aged
Is, near Alexandria, attempting to
cross a stream with wagon, was

KILLED BY LIGHTNING.
Electrical Storm at Marshalltown
Was Very Severe,

Marshalltown, June .10.-During
the most severe thunder and rain
storm this year "Shord," or Sheridan
Wickman, a young man about II
years of age, was killed by lightning,
and s. M. Rubee was shocked. The
storm broke about o'clock yester-
day afternoon, the rain falling in tor
rents, flooding the streets from curb
to curb, while flashes of the light
ming lit the sky. Sheridan Wickman,
who lives near the Iowa Soldiers
home, had taken refuge in dairy
barn of A. B. Cole, neighbor. A
bolt struck the gable of the barn kill
ing Wickman instantly, and also
killing three COWS. In the barn at
the time was another man, forty-one
cows and eleven calves. The man
was shocked but not hurt.
S. NJ. Rubee, sexton of Riverside
cemetery, was edeavoring to drive
his young chickens to shelter, when
a bolt hit big elm within ten feet
of him. This is the largest elm in the
county. The lightning tore away
about fifty feet down the trunk Ru-
bee was knocked down but quickly
recovered.

SARAH KUHN DEAD
Dies From Poison Taken Three
Weeks Ago.

Des Moines, June 6.-After three
weeks of intense suffering, induced by
her own attempt to end her existence,
Sarah Kuhn died at the state peniten-
tiary at Anamosa Sunday night. The
exact agent used In self destruction
is as yet unknown to the. officers Of
the prison and will probably remain
mystery.
Three weeks ago, bent as she has
been for some time past upon self de-
struction, Mrs. Kuhn succeeded in OBJ
tanning possession of some pois- n,
whose action when swallowed wss
similar to concentrated lye. ImmeC-
ately upon the discovery of her actio<
the prison authorities made all pos
sible haste to get the best of medical
attention, but the latter pronounced
the case hopeless, the membrane OF
the throat and stomach being too bad
ly burned to allow recovery. Her
death occurred at the prison after
most intense suffering, the lining of
the stomach scaling off in patches,
inches in circumference.

Moines, broke the worlds record,

Mrs. Guss Titze, the wife of a Bed
ford carpenter, attempted to commit
suicide. The weapon used was %
calibre rife, and the bullet entered
her left side just below the ribs and
passed entirely through her body.
The doctors, who are in attendance,
say that there is no hope of recovery
and her death is looked for at any
moment Mrs. Titze's mind is more
or less affected and for some time
she has been considered partially in
sane.
David Ziegler, a carpenter, was in
stantly killed while working on F. A..
Westenhaver's new residence at Iowa
City. He fell from some scaffolding
on which he was standing and his
neck was broken. Death was in
Simultaneous. A wife and eight small
children in moderate circumstances
survive him. An inquest was held
over his remains, and the coroner's
jury brought in verdict that the de-
ceased had come to his death from a
fall from a scaffold which he himself
had constructed under his own sup
ervision. This is expected to prevent
the possibility of any damage suit,
and the circumstances show that it
was purely accidental, without any
negligence, even on his own part, as
far as the construction Of the scat
folding was concerned.
