hours.
1t is not definitely known whether
or not it was broken rail or a brok-
en- journal that caused the accident,
but 1t is thought that it was broken
rail, as the cars We're thoroughly in
spected before the train left Dubuque.
The cars We're loaded with coal and
other dead freight and the mass of
ruins was strewn in conglomerated
heap at one end of the bridge. Part
of the wreckage fell over into the

appointed to investigate the deaths of
the three trainmen who were killed
in the Rock Island freight engine ex-
ploson near Scion Monday night, are

the engine was in the best possible
condition, has revived the old rumors
that were prevalent then, that the fault
lay in the construction of the engine.
and the entire county is asking that
the matter be investigated in such a
way as to show the truth or falsity Of
these rumorS.

Nevada Feb. 1.-Two years in the
penitentiary at Fort Madison at hard
labor is the penalty that Morley Har-
will pay for getting drunk and TAX
ing few shots at a friend, out of a
80 calibre gun, the last one of which
took effect in the neck of Dave Ear
wicker, the man of whom he was MAX
ing a target. This sentence was i'm
posed upon Hardesty yesterday after
noon by Judge Evans, after the defen-
dant had been found guilty of assault
with intent to commit manslaughter,
having been indicted under the charge
of assault with intent TO commit MUIR
der.
The crime was committed on the
night Of December 5, when Hardesty
and number of his crowd We're en-
joying one of their regular Saturday
night DRINKS. Hardesty has been Il
most unfortunate boy during his entire
life. Born amidst surroundings not the
best, he has been followed thru life
by train of circumstances not tend
ing to better his condition. Early in
life he lost one of his lower limbs and
while he was a hardworking boy at
times he contracted an abnormal APP
petite for booze" and that has been
his undoing.
Judge Evans gave him "a long and
touching talk before imposing sentence
upon him. U. S. Alderman, his attor-
ney, made plea for clemency to the
court before Judgment was pronounced,
emphasizing the surroundings in which
the boy had been brought up, his I'M
fortunate condition as cripple and the
fact that lie was in a state of almost
helpless ir toxication at the time he
fired the fatal shots.
Pat Coulihan, indicted and pleading
guilty to the charges of conducting a
gambling house and gambling, was
sentenced to pay fine of $3.50 and the
costs of prosecution. Harry Proctor,
who had plead guilty to the charge of
gambling, was fined $50. The balance
of the criminal cases have asked for
and been granted continuances.

Postoffice Fixtures and All the Mail
Saved.
Special to Times-Republican.
Lake City. Feb. 2. - The fire which
destroyed the postoffice building and
Thormallens fruit store started in the
store building, while the proprietor was
at breakfast. He had opened up the
store and after fixing the fire return
ed to the living room in rear of store
for his breakfast, and knew nothing
of the fire until he started back into
the store, when he opened the door
the smoke was so thick he could not
get into the room. The household goods
were saved from the rear rooms, but
the contents of the store were all burn
ed. Loss on the stock about $1,000.
The insurance on same was $1,000.
The building was owned by Hugh Nc
Clure and was fully covered by insur-
ance.
The postoffice building was owned
by DR.. McVay and had $500 insurance
which will probably cover loss as
building was not entirely burned. The
fixtures and mail were all removed
from the postoffice and taken to the
empty store building in the First Ma
tional bank building, and by 1880 in
the afternoon the mail was ready for
distribution in the new location.

A Correction.

Editor Times-Republican In re-
gard to the article from Pocahontas
stating that in order to perfect deed
Mr.. and Mrs. John Hooper were COM
PEELED to secure license and remarry,
it having been discovered that Hooper
had not secured divorce from his
first wife / wish to make the following
statement:
The article referred to is not correct
with reference to John Hooper, as his
first wife died in February, 1886, and
he married his second wife Mrs. Anna
C. Weyland, in the 1888, more than two
years after his first wife died. Perhaps
the second wife OF John Hooper did not
have legal divorce from her former
husband, Mr.. Weyland, whom l under
stand is still living. John Hooper had
been married to his second wife less
than seventeen years, and I can secure
the affidavits of all who know John
Hooper, that his first wife was dead
over two years before he was married
to his second wife.

FAlDEL TO FIND THE BULLET
Man Who Was Shot by Dog Catcher
at Davenport Operated Upon.

Man Who Was Shot by Dog Catcher
at Davenport Operated Upon.
Special to Times Republican.
Davenport, Feb. John Gibson, the
man who was shot by Herman Jas
per, the dog catcher, was operated or
at Morbonia hospital this morning, but
the physicians failed to find the miss
ing bullet.
From the course of the wound it was
thought that the lead pellet might have
lodged near his spine and if there the
physicians thought that it was advis-
able to take it out.
A search under the shoulder blade
and along the spinal column failed to
locate it, however, and the physicians
decided that it was not advisable to
submit Mr.. Gibson to the knife any
further and the search was abandon
ed.
1t is now thought that the bullet
must have entered the lungs or some
part of the body in the abdomen.
The patient suffered but little from
the effects Of the operation and the
physicians state that he will recover
all right unless something unexpected
happens. DR.. T. D. Starbuck, assisted
by Drs. I.ambach, Bowman and Ru-
dolph performed the operation.
In the meantime the case against
Jasper which was to have followed the
Weaver VS.. Walker case has been post !.
poned until Gibson shall have recover
ed sufficiently to take the witness

DAVID KEPT uRIAH AT FRONT
King of Sioux City syrians is Ac-
cused.


Sioux City. Feb. 2.-1'he old story of
David sending Uriah to the front OF
battle that he might possess the OIL
GERS wife, was brought up in district
court Tuesday afternoon, when the
$4,000 damage suit of Charles Elias
against Hassan Hanoon WIS called.
All of the parties are Syrians and
Hanoon is the father of his people, rep
resenting the local Syrian colony In all
transactions with the outside world.
He runs a wholesale house and fur
nishes supplies to peddlers who go
out the country. Elias is a ped
dlet uys supplies furnished by
Ha 1.n-.
1t will be urged that Hanoon took
great case that Elias was supplied
with goods at various places for
year, and that in this manner he was
kept away from home. while Hanoon
was making free with the wife of
Elias.
In his petition Elias says that he
went away from home in July, 1903,
and that he did not return for year.
On November 10. 1904, Tekia Elias,
wife Of Charles Elias, gave birth to a
child. and Hanoon, the king of his peo-
pie, was at once made defendant In the
suit by the Uriah, who had been at
the front selling beads, linen and
other pack articles.
While Elias was away, his wife liv-
ed in a house in the Oemig row, on
East Fifth street. lannon's wholesale
house is at 220O East Fourth street.
Elias and his wife were married seven
ord have two children.
The court room presided over by
Judge Gaynor looked like a corner OF
Jerusalem when the case was called.
"A number of Syrians were in attend
ance. Their dark, swarthy faces and
the chatter of their foreign language
lent a tinge Of romance. Many of the
witnesses do not speak the English
language, and interpreters will be used
freely. 1t is expected that Joe Ham
mid and B. Bsharah will do most of
the translating of the testimony so that
the jury can understand.
The case will be hard fought one,
it is expected, as Hanoon is wealthy.
Sullivan e Griffin appear for Elias, and
Fred Sargent is defending Hanoon.
The opening statements were made
to the jury, showing that an attempt
would be made to clear Hanoon of the
charge by accusing a young Syrian in
his employ of being intimate with Mrs.
Elias. 1t was declared that Hanoon
had given the woman a place to stay
because Elias was so poor he had no
place to leave his wife.
Direct charges of criminal relations
between Mrs. Elias and the young man
will be established if the defense keeps
promises. Attempts at abortion will
be described in detail. The defense
claims Hanoon was the victim of in
gratitude. Attorney Fred Sargent said
it was an attempt to get money out of
the only Syrian in Sioux City from
whom a Judgment could be recovered.
