SUES FOR SONS DEATH.
Thomas L. Watson Brings Action II
Federal Court at Des Moines.

fe0eral court at OeS MOineS.
Thomas l.. WATSON, of this city, bet
ter known as Logan Watson, is plain
tiff in suit for $4,000 damages,
brought in the federal court at Des
Moines, against the Iowa Central. The
action is based on the death of Mr.
Watsons son, William l.. Watson, who
was killed at Hampton while employed
as a brakeman by the Central.
The Register and Leader of this
morning has the following to say con-
corning the beginning of the case:
Thomas l.. Watson's suit to recov-
er $4,000 from the Iowa Central Rail-
way company for the death Of his son,
William l.. Watson, was begun before
Judge Pollock and a jury in federal
court yesterday. Watson was killed
by freight train on which he was
head brakeman at Hampton on June
Is, 1905. He was last seen alive stand
ing on a step at the front of the en-
CINE while 1t was switching in the
yards at Hampton. Senator Thomas
A. Cheshire in his opening statement
to the jury said the plaintiff would
prove that the step turned under. al
lowing Watson to fall and be ground
to death under the wheels. He said the
railroad company was negligent in not
keeping the engine in proper repair
The defence will claim that Watson
had no right to ride on the step, and
he had been warned not to do so. Gen.
eral Counsel John I. Ollie for the rail-
road company said in his statement to
the jury that the defense would prove
that Watson was naturally a care
less man, and that he had been drink
ing shortly before his death. Mrs.
Luella Watson, the widow, was the
first witness. The Watsons live at
MarshalltoWn."

SUPERVISORS TO
SELECT JURYNEN
Judge Bradshaw Will Issue
Order lnstructing Them to
Do So For 1908
NO ELECTION THE cAus'
Because There Was No Election This
Year, There Was, of Course, No
Jury Lists Returned by the Election
Officials Delay in the Selection
May Cause Complication.

The board of supervisors will select
for next year, as they did for this
year, the lists of those who will make
up the grand and petit jury panels
and talesmen for 1908. Judge c. b
Bradshaw will, within q few days, is
sue an order to the supervisors, in
structing them to draw the panel.
This order is made necessary be-
cause, owing to the biennial law, there
was no election this fall, from the
voters of which jurymen for the pam
els might be returned by the election
officials
Judge Bradshaw's order will be that
the supervisors select from the pol
grand and petit jury panels and tales
men. Seventy-five grand jurymen viii
be selected, 500 petit jurymen and 900
talesmen.
Should the election of them be de-
layed there is liable to arise another
complication, due to the law which
requires that the county clerk and
auditor shall, on or before December
1. prepare the ballots for the jury
boxes for the following year. Unless
the lists of names are furnished by
that time, it will, Of course, be i'm
possible for this to be done.
AS the law also requires that the
names Of the petit jurymen, to serve
for the term, be drawn at least twenty
days before the term opens, 1t will be
necessary for this to be done before
December Is. The next, or January
term Of court, convenes on January

advice to any county would be: Don't

a good man in office, keep him there.
a county should not bind itself by any
iron clad two term rule" is the opin-
ion of the judge. He says: THE clerk
of courts is really the court itself on
probate matters, and the court has to
be governed largely by his advice.
Each legislature places some additional
duties upon the clerk. and never We're
more efficient men needed for this Of
flee than at the present time. Whlle
I will not say that clerk ought to be
a lawyer to properly handle the office,
| will say that it wouldn't hurt him
any. In Tama county we have tried
keeping our clerk in office longer than
the ordinarily prescribed two terms,
and I must say 1t works we'll. You
people in Marshall county have fine
clerk now; you ought to keep him In
office" Mr.. Haradon. the deputy. who
can fairly claim a share of the praise,
feels very much inclined to give them
a chance.

that 1 was forced to call in two of the

Emily, had quietly vanished and could
not be found. The chestnut horse
had been purchased in May; by the
end of June he was u~ndeniably a
dingy bottle-green. By July he had
faded to mustard color, and John
Farrell eyed him thoughtfully. A
rainstorm early in August washed all
exposed portions of the changeable
horse to a creamish hue, and finally
the truth dawned upon Emily-a hor-
rible truth, because it shattered more
than one idol.
She had, after all, purchased the
white horse. The rascally horse
dealer, determined to carr the extra
$50 offered by John, which, however,
the culprit had not yet collected, had
used hair-dye, or something equally
potent, to- successfully disguise his
colorless horse.

professor, who was driving with EN-
lily along a country road when this

dire consequences, finally burst in

Tit isn't the horse" sobbed
Emily against her fathers shoulder;

couldn't have believed it of him."
The next day was Sunday. John ap.
peared, as usual, and was genuinely
surprised at the cold reception ac-
corded him. 1t took him some time to

he had already spoken, n for which
piece of carelessness he had supposed
himself forgiven. The hair-dye, he as
sured her, was a complete surprise.
Emily, gazing s%earchingly into Far
rells honest, Indignant blue eyes,
found it possible to believe him.
Once convinced of his trustworthl.
ness, Emily was so relieved that she
%guardedly admitted that she was glad
that she had bought the white horse.
When" asked John, emboldened
by the happiness in Emily's satisfied
eyes, ''are you going to begin to think
about that other matter?"

confessed Emily, blushing an unmis.

later, If that rascally householder

Not Partial to Nursing.

Not long ago a young Irishman was
seeking work in western Illinois, and
among those to whom he applied was
a farmer near Cairo.
The farmer was attracted by the
Celt's frank, CHEEKY manner, and,
while he was not in need of help, he
asked, after a pause:
"Can you cradle?"

we've tried? Anyway, the times al
most up, and I'm just certain that
this horse is all right"
The ne%ighborhood was certain, too.
Only Farrell was dissatisfied. His
disappointment at Emily's latest
choice was pitiful to see. Even Emily
was presently touched by it.
81 had hoped" complained Farrell,
gloomily, that you'd take the white
horse. Now it's all over 1 don't mind
confessing that 1 promised that man
$50 extra If he'd sell you that beast.
He assured me that he'd sell you
a white horse If he had to let 1t
go for $19.9S, and l was foolish enough
to believe him"
BY the end of the week Emily, who
had taken all her elderly nelghbors,
one at a time, to drive, paid with the
utmost cheerfulness for her horse,
for she still loved him.
One bright morning, three weeks
later, the entire neighborhood turned
out to inspect the horse. There was
certainly something very much amiss,
and the trouble, whatever it was, was
visible from the outside.
