poets to have a line between Webster
City and Boone In operation within

]. d. Martin of Charlottesville was
expelled from the federal grand jury
at Davenport a few days ago. He
wrote Judge Mcpherson that he was
a member of church, did not re-
cognize the liquor traffic, and as long
as the United State government per-
mitted the sale of liquor on Sunday
he would not recognize a summons
from a United States court. Instead
of disciplining Martain for contempt,
Judge Mcpherson ruled that he was
irresponsible and incompetent for
service, and expelled him from the
panel. Judge Smith Mcpherson dis
charged the grand jury after it had
ignored the only case brought be-
fore it, the case of Marion and Lou
Kowiske, two young Bohemians, ar.
rested for playing a slot machine
with lead slugs. United States Com
missioner Bush held the men to the
grand jury on the ground that they
had initiated government monep in
making the slugs. They spent three
months in Jail, and have now been
discharged.

the Council Bluffs police station, with
out court, attorneys or police, Jim
Int N oli al
Marant, and Frank Dinuzzo of Oma-
ha, whom they were charged with
cheating out of SAP, settled their diff
ferences among themselves and Din
uzzo dismissed the criminal proceed
ings as we'll as the civil suit which
he had brought to recover the money.
The terms of the settlement are un-
known to even the attorneys for the
men, but it is rumored that Dinuzzo
not only turned over to Rapini and
Martin the $412, but gave them a
substantial sum of money in addition
upon their promise to leave the city.
1t is generally believed that the two
men, through some secret Italian or
ganization, had some hold upon the
Omaha saloonkeeper which prevented
his forcing the charges against them,
as he appeared fearful when in court
and evinced desire for a secret con-
ference with the men, which resulted
| in the settlement.
Many days have now elapsed since
Henry Kaiser, the Marshall county
farmer disappeared, armed, from his
home during a fit of insanity. and
