GET CUNNING JURY EASILY.
Wife Gives Close Attention to Evidence
Against Former Banker.

Osceola, Dec 12.--Jt took but an hour
yesterday to secure jury in the case
Of Day Dunning of Mount Ayr, Ring
gold county, charged with wrecking the
Citizens bank Of that place in January,
1904. Dunning was tried at Mount Ayr.
convicted and sentenced to three years
in the penitentiary. but the supreme
court granted new trial because of err
rons in the instructions by Judge Ev
ans. The case was sent here on
change of venue by Judge Evans be-
cause of the large amount of feeling
against Dunning in his own county
among those who lost their money in
the bank.
Dunning, accompanied by his wife
and brother arrived Monday night and
are stopping at the Howe hotel Mrs.
Dunning sat beside her husband in the
court room and gave close attention to
the evidence.
The opening statement was made to
the jury by County Attorney Banker.
He stated that the Citizens Bank OF
Mount Ayr had been run by Dunning
and his son for long number of years,
that 1t was a private bank and Duna
ming knew all about its workings and
the subsidiary companies which he was
interested. There Were over 100000
in deposits on January IA, 1904, besides
some 100000 in overdrafts and about
$4,000 in old notes more or less worth
less. On this date Dunning is charged
with receiving a deposit of $1o6.75 from
j. H. Sewers Of the Sewers Lumber
Company, when he knew that the bank
was insolvent and unable to pay its
debts. There is a mass of evidence to
be introduced to prove the general
charge, but the specific charge is the
Sewers case.

AS 1T APPEARS TO STRANGERS

1t is perhaps not so noticeable
fact to residents, of Eagle River as to
people who happen here once in a
year or two, but the fact remains,
whether noticed or not, that Eagle
River has made wonderful strides in
the past two years. Two years ago
the writer dropped off train here to
spend a week with relatives, (but he
stayed two months) at that time
there were many unOccupied dwell
ings and business places, very poor
sidewalks, and it must be admitted,
matters had s'run down at the heel"
appearance. What is the condition
today? New business blocks have
been built, and others are being en-
ected. New cement sidewalks on the
principal streets and more contem-
plated. A liberal supply of paint has
been scattered throughout the city,
and today Eagle River takes e back
seat to no place of its size in the
state. There are no houses to rent.
If that statement is too hard to di-
gest, get out and see if you can find
one, we whereof we speak.
Population increasing, and alto
gether Eagle River has a rosperous
appearance. Every northern Wis
consin town must experience lull
after the timbe is cut, and until the
farmers get TIE land cleared. This
town has experienced that lull and i.
now beyond it. The farming trade
now amounts to considerable. The
writer, in noting the many improve
ments Eere, was tempted to ask wha
had brought about this neat appear
ance. activity and apparent awaken
ing, and was informed that the pres
ent town board had had much to d.
with it, that they had taken the mat
ter actively in hand, and that thi
was the result. The writer is mo-
acquainted with all of these gentle
men, but he thinks he knows q goot
thing when he sees it, and it is Ger
taintv that the citizens of the town
of Eagle River made no mistake whel
they selected Messrs. Hirzel, Zimpel
mann and Adams 10 represent them
