the use of the X-Ray in appendicitis
cases was not proper but DR.. Tucker
objected to their testimony as coming
from physicians of a different school
of medicine than that to which he be-
longed The jury returned verdict
in favor of the plaintiff for $l,295, but
the presiding judge, G. w. Burnham.
cut this amount down to $500 In over
ruling motion for new trial.
The reversal by the supreme court
is based on the admission of evidence
of physician who testifies that he
had been called in various cases to
perform the operation of skin graft
ing for burns by the X-Ray machine
used by DR.. Tucker. In it's opinion the
supreme court says: "The tendency OF
the questions and answer was plainly
to indicate to the jury that the defend
ant had injured other patients than
the plaintiff by his X-Ray treatment,
and that he was either incompetent or
negligent in regard to such treatment.
But it was not proper in making out
case for the plaintiff to show incom-
potency or negligence in other cases
by proving the results of his treatment
in such cases. On this prejudical err
ror the case is remanded back for new
trial
Error in the admission OF evidence
also secures new trial for r. Dague
Thompson of Cedar Rapids who was
convicted of manslaughter in stabbing
Pearl Jones 10 year old girl. Young
Thompson and the Jones girl had been
intimate. according to the evidence,
but on his return from TRIP to Chi
cago he found tha- she had discarded
him and quarrel between them re-
suited in his severely stabbing her
with pocket knife. The supreme
court holds that error was made In al
| lowing the girls cousin to testify that
week before the alteration she had
advised him not to allow Thompson to
come to his home as she was afraid
of him. Error was also made In adj
hitting testimony by the girls father
| as to the character of young Thomp-
son.

ELECTION FIGHT IN COURT.
Town Of ST. Anthony Having Its Fill
of Dessensons,


Marshalltown, May Gust as the
little town of St. Anthony has recov-
cred from church fight of no small
dimensions, 1t is plunged into q poll
teal fight, one that before it. reaches
an end will go through the county
courts Fad end in the supreme court
of Iowa.
At the municipal election held
March q, forty-eight vote were cast
for councilman, Of which ]. A. Bryan
received twenty-four, o. ]. ABBOTT
twenty-three and one ballot was
spoiled, as three council were to be
voted for and only two were to be
elected. o. j. Abbott filed a notice of
protest, claiming that two voters, VIM.
Fischer and Franck Buchan, were not
voters Of ST. Anthony, as they had mot
been residents of the town ten days
preceding the election. In spite of the
notice of protest Bryan was declared
to be duly elected and certificate of
election was issued to him. Bryant
claims that these men had right to
vote; that Fischer was resident of
the town and that his absence had
been only of temporary nature, and
that he had engaged board some time
before the election. Buchan only lived
there five days before the election
When these men voted they were
challenged and each swore his vote in,
and the oath provided by the statute
provides that they must have been a
resident Of the state six months and of
the county sixty days, and there is
nothing in the oath about being in the
precinct for ten days, and the law
provides that when an oath Is admin
istered the vote must be accepted.
Bryant raises the point that the ten
day provision is meant to apply to
cities divided into wards and is for the
purpose of registration, and could not
apply to town like st. Anthony.
If Fischer's vote was received and
Buchan's vote was thrown out the vote
would be a tie, and as Bryant had been
issued a certificate of election he
claimed the right to hold the office
and this would compel Abbott to show
that he had enough votes to put him
in.
The contest was tried Thursday at
the town hall in ST. Anthony and ere.
ated a great deal of attention. Four
attorneys from this city were in at,
tendance, F. e. Northrup, G. H. E.
Boardman. G. Fl. Van Lew and Henry
Stone and the hearing was before w.
7. Clemmons, mayor of st. Anthony
Abbott was represented on the trial
board by J. A. Mabie and William Jul
ian represented Bryant.
The contest was not decided until
sometime after the hearing and word
from st. Anthony states that the
contest had been decided in favor OF
G.. j. Abbott
Bryant will appeal to the district
court and the case will doubtless go
to the supreme court. In the mean,
time Bryant will furnish bond and
act as councilman during the pending
of his appeal, which means that he will
serve his time, as q decision cannot
be received before the expiration OF
his term of Office.

forced him to cover quickly and the
bell rang. The round was an even
one.
