Oskaloosa, Nov. 21.-The Iowa Cen
trail at this point is almost completely
tied up, as the result Of the strike yes
terday of the twelve members OF
switching crews employed here. The
engine men have refused to haul cars
thus complicating the situation, and 1t
is possible the strike will affect other
departments here and grow into seri-
GUS proportions.
The switchmen quit yesterday be-
cause of grievances that the company
considered of minor Importance. Su-
perintendent Hayden, Trainmaster Nc
Carly and Station Agent McCarty
donned overalls, went into the yards
and attempted to keep things moving.
This act on the part of the officials
was not relished by the engine men,
who have headquarters here, and this
morning they refused to work. There
is not wheel turning in the yards, ex-
cept on the thru passenger and freight
runs.
1t is reported that switching crews
are en- routesto this city from Minne-
apolis to take the strikers places, but
this has not been verified.

Sioux City, Nov. 21.-Altho the criti-
cism of the indeterminate sentence law
has extended to nearly every part Of
the state, Judge f. r. Gaynor of the
Woodbury. county court, is the first
to take an official slap at the law.
Should his action today stand, the
law may be robbed of it's force.
Regardless of the fact that Fred
Wright pleaded guilty to the charge
of larceny from the person in the
district court this morning, and ac-
cording to the indeterminate sentence
law he should be sentenced to not more
than Is years in the state peniten-
tiary, Judge Gaynor took the matter
Wright to Anamosa for not more than
five years.
Since the passage of the law, Judge
Gaynor has been opposed to the meas
ure and has given it considerable
thought. The fact that he was elected
to the bench to exercise discretionary
powers in the sentencing of prisoners,
as well as other judicial matters, has
afforded cause for the action of the
judge. The new sentence law takes
from his hands the very work that he
was elected to perform.
Between jury and the board OF
pardons at the prison the length of
prisoners sentence is determined,
and the court before whom the pris-
oner has been tried and who is more
informed in every particular about the
case than the board of pardons, Is sup
posed to simply read a line from the
statutes, which has been prescribed for
each and every case" said the judge
"After the prisoner enters his cell his
sentence is determined by his conduct
while there and not by the conduct
which brought him to the prison"

Famous Libel Case Tried at siou,

City is Ended.
Special to Times Republican
Sioux City, Nov. 21.-Judge Gaynor
ended the famous libel case Of Anna
Shelby against Charles S. Ashton, by
directing verdict for the plaintiff and
fixing the amount of damages at six
cents. The trial lasted less than a day,
and only three witnesses were exam
ined.
Miss Shelby sued Ashton for $10,-
600 damages. AT a former trial, which
|llasted several days, a verdict was re-
turned for the defendant. The supreme
court reversed the case, one Of the
principal grounds being that the court
should have let the jury decide wheth-
er the affidavit was libelous. Mr.. Ash
ton Is now proprietor of the Madison.
S. D., Outlook.
When the court announced the latest
decision Miss Shelby. who had been
sitting opposite Ashton during the
trial, arose and approached him, and,
extending her hand. offered some
words Of apology. Mr.. Ashton coldly
turned his back upon her and walked
away.
During the course of political cam
paign Mrs. AIathilda Drager subscribed
and swore to an affidavit before Miss
Anna Scheibley, notary public, which
reflected on the character of Mccarthy,
Later she made second affidavit de-
nying the contents Of the first. The

Scheibly procured the first affidavit by
