A short but beautiful service was
held at the home on Friday at nine
o'clock, and the body was taken via
the Iowa Central to Fremont ana laid
by the side of the wife, who preceded

fifteen years, and Rnetta and Lon

Myrtle died when only six months old.
All the children except Jessie, and al
so mis- brother, Samuel Heinzmal of
Fremont, were at the bedside as ne
passed away. Father Heinzman for
over twenty-five years, or ever since
the writer knew him, has lived a
Christian life, knowing that at any

and he always wanted to be "eady

upon the peaceful face of father we
fully realized that ne was asleep in
Jesus, and was in one of the mansions
that Jesus has prepared for those
who love Him. When we arrived at
Fremont we were met at the depot
by many of his old friends and neigh

cemetery to pay their last tribute to
the friend and neighbor they loved so
well, and as they lowered the body in
the grave ready to receive him, and
as the beautiful words spoken by
Father Barr of his mead friend and to

IN FAVOR OF DEFENDANTS.
Questions Of Law Applicable to
Eiectment Suits

A, verdict in favor of the defendants in
the case of Leander Scott and others agt
Henry A. Herrell and others, has been rem
dered by jury in Circuit Court No. 2. The
case was on trial for week before Justice
Anderson and jury. The plaintiffs claimed
lots and 8, in square 11o7, occupied by the
defendants as a brick yard. 1t is under
stood that a number of questions of law
applicable to ejectment suits were consid-
cred, and that while the lots were not of
great value, the outcome Of the suit will
have bearing on other lots involved In the
same square. The plaintiffs were repre-
scented by Attorneys John E. Roller of Har-
risonburg Va, and Milton Strasburger of
this city, and the defendants by Attorneys
Irving Williamson and w. Mosby Williams.
This case was first tried before Judge
Barnard about eighteen months ago, and by
instruction of the court the jury found in
favor of the defendants, but the Court of
Appeals reversed the judgment on the
ground that certified copy from Baltimore
of the will Of James w. Scott should have
been admitted in evidence. In the second
trial the will was admitted The defend
ants set up adverse possession.

EARLIER HOUR FOR COURT.
Policemen Enjoined to Get Evidence in
Before $50 am. Daily.

Steps are to be taken by the officials of
the Police Court to have police officers pre-
sent their cases at court in time to have
the sessions begin promptly at $50 o'clock
each week day morning 1t Is probable
that a special order will be issued from
police headquarters within few days, tell
ing the members of the department to at
tend court earlier and bring their wit
neSSeS.
Ever since the court moved into the
larger quarters. where much business can
be dispatched at one time, efforts have
been made to have the branches of the
court begin at the appointed time, $50
o'clock But, according to Prosecuting At
torneys Ralph Given and James L. Pugh,
this Is impossible, because the police Off
GERS do not get to the court early enough.
This morning is cited an instance. At
9:25 o'clock, five minutes before the court
was scheduled to begin, only one officer had
presented his case to the assistant district
attorney for investigation, and the wit
nesses in the case were not ready. Both
courts began twenty minutes late as a re-
suit.
The officials Of the court have called the
attention Of the heads of the police depart
ment to the trouble. and it is likely they
Will take steps to remedy the condition.
