Court Takes Notice.
The supreme court delegated to
the State Bar association the task
OF investigating the matter. and the
bar association appointed a special
committee for this purpose. The

OF Judge Gordon all during the air

he stated that when the matter was

occasion for sorfuw for him. and

Toledo. May 2S.---A rousing repub-

this large gathering Of voters presented
good, sound doctrine, which caused

gressiveness of the nation and the
principals of that rough rider, Theo-
dore Roosevelt 1t is UP to the voters
to cast their vote for such men as

Roosevelt, Cummins and Good The

or coerce such men as Cummins and
Hon. James W. Good should the peo-
pie elect them to the senate and con-

COURT At MASON CITY.
Several Criminal Cases To Come Vi
at Mason City.

Special to Times Republican.
Mason City, May 2s.-Three GRIM
inal cases of unusual interest will
come on for trial in the district court
here, during the first few weeks in
June Court will convene after a pro-
tracted vacation, on June 3rd. The first
case on the docket will be that of
Lester Schindel. a Rockwell youth who
is charged with highway robbery. The
next will be that of Frank H. McDon-
mel, who is the alleged murderer Of
George Stevens, and the third is that
Of the negro, Charles Boston, who as
saulted a yoeng girl in the Collins ho-
tel, a few weeks ago. He is charged
with assault with intent to commit
rape. ALI these crimes created a visible
stir of excitement when they were
committed, and the trials will probably
be largely attended. No change of
venue will be asked in the Mcdonnell
murder case, as was at first contem-
plated by the alleged murderers at
torneys.

Ute, May 28.-Early yesterday morn
ing as Section Foreman Smith of the
c., M. & ST. P. stepped out of his house
near the railroad stockyards, he found
dead man lying on the ground. Ex-
animation of the body found that the
man had been dead before the heavy
rain that fell after midnight, and at
the coroners inquest, evidence was
shown that he had been murdered, as
several bruises were found on his head
and face.
The man had partner in the UNI
brella repairing business. They had
been in the town two days and night
before last four "hobos'' came into
town and they all joined in. and got
loaded up with liquor. A good deal Of
noise was heard in that vicinity, but no
person paid any attention to it. The
dead man is supposed to be a resident
of Fort Dodge, and he went by the
name Of Murphy. Two Of the "hobos'
were arrested, and the other two
skipped out early in the morning. No
evidence was attained sufficient to hold
any of the men.
