Marengo, June 20.-The case of the
State of Iowa vs. A. M Henderson,
mayor of Marengo and for twenty-four
years an employee of the Marengo Saw
ings bank in the capacity of cashier
and assistant cashier, was; commenced
in the district court of Iowa county at
Marengo, Judge r. P. Howell presiding
Owing to the fact that Henderson had
many friends in and around Marengo
who had discussed the merits of his
case, and fearing that the regular pan
Ell would be exhausted before a jury
would be summoned. a panel Of forty
eight men was summoned.
Some of the most skilled and able
lawyers in this part of the country have
been retained in this case, and the case
will be stubbornly fought. Former At
torney General Milton Relnley, of Iowa
City, and Dover & Murphy, of Maren-
go, are assisting County Attorney
Wallace for the state, while Judge
Henderson, of 1ndianola, brother OF
the defendant; Judge Wade, of Iowa
City: Tom IT. Miner, of Belle PLANE;
James F.,Kirby, Of Williamsburg, and
Tom Stapleton, of Marengo, are con-
Quoting the defense. The time of the
court until noon on Tuesday was taken
up in securing a jury. County Attor-
ney Wallace conducting the examina
ton of the jurors for the state, and
Tom Stapleton for the defense
When court opened on Tuesday aft
ernoon. former County Attorney ]. NJ.
Downer, who is assisting the state,
stated the facts which the prosecution
expected to prove.
Judge Wade made a powerful open
ing statement for the defendant, in
which he stated that the case re-
sembled a persecution more than a
prosecution. He claimed that the
Indictment charged Henderson with
five or six crimes and that he was
unable to ascertain which of these
they intended to try him on. He
strongly denied that there was any
collision between the defendant ard
F. M. Rulings and alleged that the
directors were trying te, shoulder the
blame for their own negligence upon
the shoulders of their former cash
Ter who had spent the best twenty
five years of his life in their service.
Immediately after Judge Wade fin
ished his opening statement court was
adjourned until Wedne sday. morning.
The jury will not be allowed to sep
arate during the trial and is being
lodged and fed at the Ketchum hotel
in charge of Deputy Sheriff Cafferty.
1t will be remembered that Hen
derson was indicted by an Iowa coun-
ty grand jury on March 20 of this year

PROBLEMS AT CLEAR LAKE.

Clear Lake, June 20.-The school
board here is up against the propo-
sition here of whether to bond the city
school district for a new heating plant
school district for $4,000 COR a new
heating plant on a showing of "a votes
out of a total Of nearly 500 voters who
staid at home, or call another cleo
ton. The bonding proposition carried
by vote of q to g. but the few who
voted are not calculated to enthuse
the board over the proposition.
There is strong sentiment in favor
of a sewer system. The city has an
up to date water works, but no sew
ers. The waste has been taken care
of by cess pools, but there are becom-
ing filled up and in many places the
cellars are getting the overflow. The
ground is becoming saturated, and as
much of it drains into the lake, there is
considerable uneasiness felt among the
residents Save the money and build
a sewer, or health before education is
the cry Of many.

Iowa City, June 20.-John Griffith,
captain of the championship foot ball
team of the State University of Iowa
in 1900, who for the past two years has
been coaching the foot ball squad of
the University of Idaho and teaching
in tile university, has been employed
by the local authorities to assist Marc
Catlin in coaching the Iowa university
squad next season. In addition, Grif-
fifth will hold fellowship in zoology.
Back of this announcement the fol-
lowers of foot ball In the Hawkeye in
stitution think that they see the pos
sible employment Of Griffith as the
physical director of the university some
time in the future. Catlin is now TAX
ing a course in the college Of law while
engaged in coaching the foot ball and
track teams. He will graduate from
the institution in 1909, two years from
now, and it is understood that he
wishes to enter into the practice of
his profession Immediately. In that
event Griffith would probably have
first call on the position.

Python as Stowaway.

London, Eng.-Among the recent ar.
rivals at the geological gardens is a
python which shipped itself on board
the steamship Hyson of the Ocean
Steamship company, and was only dis.
covered among the cargo of white
logs when the vessel was being I'M
loaded at the Albert docks.
The stowaway was promptly secur.
ed by lee of a sack, which was
thrown over it, and the authorities at
the 200 were communicated with.
When Mr.. Tyrrell, who looks after
the snakes at Regents park, arrived
at the docks he found that the reptile
was a young reticulated python some
three feet long, and, although suffer-
ing from the effects of it's captivity in
the sack, it was otherwise uninjured.
He took it to the "zoo," and is feeding
it on pieces Of fish. The 200" now
owns both the largest and the small
est pythons.

GETTING Rich,

It's very easy to get rich, if you
want to bad enough, Tom Charles
says. Work like fury sixteen hours a
day at least, run back and forth to
your meals, hurry your wife into hys-
terics if she doesn't have every meal
Just when you get there, sleep as little
as you a and live, grasp every dol
lar in sight and dig for some that you
think you are covered up, pinch your
p%ocketbook, shrivel your soul and
overwork your body and you will make
money. You will be rich when you
are old, if you live. You will also be
broken down and miserably despised;
as a miser and a slave driver by all
your neighbors and stunned by your
children. And when you die, which
will be before your time, your children
and lear relatives will fight over your
property.

Woman Lost 100000.

New York.-Mrs. Arthur p. Mason
Of Larchmont is the womn who lost
a tin box containing 1876 $1,000 bills
and jewelry valued at $4,000, While
journeying to New York on the local
New York, New Haven and Hartford
train from her home. Mrs. Mason
made this admission despite the ad-
vice Of her lawyer, Benjamin F. Nor
ris, who has tried to keep secret the
name of his client. Mrs. Mason re-
fused to go into details of the trip.
She placed the box on the seat be.
side her, while the suit case rested
at her feet. It is hardly supposed
Mrs. Mason forgot the existence of
the box when she left the train at the
Grand Central station. It is possible
however, she vas followed from her
home by some crook who knew that
the box contained q fortune.
