Eldora, Aug. 2s.-The second trial Of
E. S. Blydenburgh for the alleged mur-
der of his wife will be heard at the
present term Of court. In the district
court this morning, Judge w. D. Evans
denied the states motion for a con-
tinuance until the October term. The
state based its motion on the inability
of DIR. Vaughn, its most important ex-ii
pert witness, to be present until the
October term.
Attorneys for the defense secured an
immediate rehearing of the case, how
ever, by agreeing to admit the testi-
mony Of DR.. Vaughn as given at the
former trial, the defense coneeding that
| if DR.. Vaughn were present in person
his evidence would be the same. There
fore on agreement Of the attorneys for
defense the trial was set for next Mon
day at 1:30 o'clock

Sentiment over the hanging is al
most entirely with the lynchers, ana
while the officers are using every eHor'

assisting them to any extent. The fac'
that a hanging was due was pretty
generally known, farmers driving N
early from the surrounding country
and many people coming here by early
trains.
The CRISIS was brought on the pas'
five days, when it was learned thai
Higgins, who had promised to pleao
guilty, having confessed to the murder
of Walter Copple and his wife, changed
his mind, demanded second prelim-
mary hearing and employed lawyers
to defend him. His plea was to be in

and to have had no recollection of his
deed, tho al the time he was captured
he gave a connected story Of the af-

Heavy Rains.
Special to Times Republican.
Waterloo, Aug. 2S.-For the third
time this summer heavy rains Monday
night caused several washouts on the
Illinois Central and played havoc with
the train schedule. All trains from the
east Tuesday We're from one to two
hours late on account of the washouts,
it being necessary to run at low speed
over most of the track between 1nde-
pedence and Dubuque.
The chief trouble the Central had
with its roadbed Monday night was be-
tween Manchester and Delaware.
Spring Creek went on rampage and
flooded the farming lands besides
washing out several hundred feet OF
track The wooden bridge over the
creek was also damaged by the food
as were number of culverts. 1t was
necessary to build a new track around
the washout to avoid a longer delay to
trains.
The Illinois Central has been both
cred this summer by heavy rains more
than for many years and at the pres
ent time the track between here and
Dubuque is in bad shape. Altho con-
struction trains and hundreds Of men
have been working to repair the road
bed for several weeks, their labors
seem to be of no avail, for no sooner is
the track put in shape than along
comes another heavy rain and the
track is in worse shape than before.
