STATE RESTS ITS CASE.
Judge overrules Motion for Directed
Verdict in Mackown Trial.

Fort Dodge, Dec. Sat noon yester-
day the state rested it's case in the
Mackown trial Of Webster City, which
was being heard by Judge Evans in
the district court of this city.
Upon the opening of the court the
attorneys for the defense moved for a
directed verdict on the grounds that
the indictment was faulty in that 1t
charged Mackown with enbezzlement
Of a check lawfully obtained and pay
able to him, and not the money, and
therefore, that no crime had been
committed. Judge Evans denied the
motion and defense then took UP its
side Of the case. AT 4 o'clock Mac
kown was placed on the stand to tes-
tify in his own behalf.
He acknowledged getting the draft
cashed in New York for $4,000, and
explained that it represented money
returned to him by F. S. Currie in a
private investment between them
which did not go thru. His departure
from Webster City after burning of
the shoe factory was due to all his
property being attached and he was
unable to make a living under the
circumstances.

depositors out in full, to do either one
of these things is entirely beyond our
power This indeed would be a very
satisfactory thing to do, but 1t Is
simply useless for US to attempt the
impossible.
1--WE expect to meet our legal liabili-

but there seems to be a possible con-
tingent legal liability, the amount Of
which we are now unable to determine,
which makes it impossible to say any

Captain Head has; petitioned for an
injunction to restrain d. r. Lacock

new cemetery which has been laid out
on the ground opposite the old ceme-
terry, in the east p,trt OF the city. Cap
tain Head owns the property which
joins the proposed cemetery on the
east. Among other grounds for the

cites the following:
That there is now a public cemetery
owned by an association which has
been used for more than thirty years
by the people Of Jefferson and vicinity
for the burial OF their dead; that
there are in said public cemetery more
than 1900 lots that can be purchased
by those who may desire to use them
for the burial of their dead
That by reason Of the location of
said proposed cemetery, the premises
Of plaintiff will become unfit for the
residence place Of human beings, and
the said cemetery as proposed will be-
come a nuisance to the premises OF
plaintiff.
That the premises Of plaintiff are
now worth 5000 per acre, and that II
said cemetery is established as pro-
posed, the premises of plaintiff VIII
not be worth mere than 500 per acre
That the establishment of such
cemetery as proposed by the defendant
will destroy one half the rental value
of the premises of plaintiff.
That there is no need Of the location
of any cemetery in or adjoining the
city of Jefferson, other than the public
cemetery now i'll use.
That If said cemetery is established
as proposed, it will prevent plaintiff
from plating his premises into subur-
ban lots and selling such lots for resi-
dence purposes.
Judge Church has made an order fol
hearing in this matter on the 9TH OF
