Spectal TO IlmeS- RepuDl1Can.
Boone. Aug. Ga poor lone harvest
hand, cumming his way from Boone
to Chicago, met with a sad condition
of affairs last night while trying to get
out of Boone, and as a result, he is
Beaver, this county. Arthur O'Leary,
Of Chicago, came out this way some
time ago, and secured employment
from Mike Shaw, near Beaver. He ac-
cumulated few dollars and some
bills, and decided to go back to his
home city. Accordingly, he came to
Boone and loafed about the city, wait
ing for an opportunity OF cumming
his way to that city. He wandered out
into the Northwestern yards and was
looking at a passing freight train,
when four men approached him. They
asked him to come along and board
the train. He replied that he would If
1t was going east. The train was act
ually going in that direction and
O'Leary boarded one of the cars. He
did not remain long with the men,
however and after giving them cigar
ct papers, went to the next car. both
cars being fiat cars, which made the
passage easy. He sought out corner
and tried to go to sleep.
He was snoozing nicely when the
four men bounced on him They went
thru his pockets and took all the
change he had. They then demanded
more money, one of the men sticking
what looked like a gun under O'Learys
face. He replied that he did not have
any more. This did not satisfy them,
so they tore the clothes off the poor
unfortunates back and took every
thing he had in the way of money,
considerably over $40 One of the men
struck him in the mouth, and another
struck him across the head, in an eff
fort to make him tell where the money
was sewed The train by this time had
reached Ames. The men wanted to get
rid of O'Leary, but they did not want
to let him off in any town. They
waited until the freight had gained a
speed of nearly thirty miles per hour,
before they made him dismount. He
did not move fast enough, ana tne
quartet unceremoniously kicked him
off the car, one of the men using
club with which to give parting
shot.
OI.eary is of the opinion that the
men wanted to knock him so that he
would roll under the wheels and get
killed. He was painfully injured in the
fall, and had narrow escape from
death. He told the T.-R correspondent
today that he could easily identify the
men who did the work. They were all
medium sized. They continuously kept
pulling his hat down over his eyes SO
that he could not see what was going
on around him. He wanted to get back
to Chicago, and has again been COM
PEELED to go back to the Shaw farm
to earn few more dollars

absence OF an important witness for

County Appeals the Nuisance
Case of the State VS.. Della

ACQUITTED IN TRIAL COURT
Judge Bradshaw Directs Verdict Of
AequittaI-Faots Involved Are Ad-
nittcd, the Controversy Being Over
an Interpretation of tho MuIct Law
First Case Of It's Kind Appealed.

/ The supreme court of the state will
be asked to decide whether or not g
corporation may sell Intoxicating liz.
uors at retail. This is the law question
against Charles Delahoyde and George
Marx, who manage the saloon owned
230 South Third avenue. The criminal
case against the two men was tried
| Friday afternoon, and was disposed Of
so far as the lower court is concerned
by a decision Of Judge c. B. Bradshaw
who took the case from the Jury and
directed verdict OF not guilty.
| The question involved is one OF law
and it is the first time that 1t has
been submitted to the supreme court
| for a decision.
Case Appealed by County.
1t was conceded that the case would
be appealed either way 1t was decided,
and as the issues, insofar as they re-
late to the facts. are admitted, there
remains nothing at stake but the con-
struction and meaning of the mulct
law relative to the point.
Because the case was a criminal on1.
1t was necessary to empanel jury.
which was quickly done. Delahoyde and
Marx had pleaded not guilty, on the
ground that they were employed by the
Des Moines Malt company, which had
a license. On motion to do so Judge
Bradshaw directed q verdict Of acquit-
tai.
Permission to Retail Personal Right.
The state is contending that the Des
Moines Malt company, which is a cor
porsltion. Is not entitled under the law
to sell Intoxicating liquors at retail,
altho there is no question but that 1t
has legal right to manufacture and
sell at wholesale. This contention OF the
state is based on the Interpretation Of
the law that the right to sell at retail
is the right of individuals, who may be
imprisoned for violations Of the law.
Since corporation is an impersonal
thing that cannot be imprisoned, the
state claims that 1t is the apparent
purpose of the law to restrict the re-
tail sale OF liquor to individuals or
partnerships. and If it were not so cor
porations would, be immune from pun
ishment by imprisonment.
The defense is claiming that the Des
Moines Malt company, having IL
cense, is entitled to sell at retail.
Sought Transfer Of Ownership.
Incidents in the management Of the
saloon indicate that the Des Moines
Malt company sought, at one time, to
have the ownership Of the saloon in
question transferred to individuals.
Some time ago, following the ruling Of
Attorney General Byers, that corpora
lions could not own and conduct re-
tail saloons, the Des iMoines Malt COM
pany made an effort to have the saloon
transferred. The city council refused to
grant the transfer.

"rAE SPIRIT OF PAUL DOOM
Will Be Seen at the odson Tuesday
Evenino


One of the most intensely dramatic
situations ever conceived by an author
is exploited in Lincoln j. Carriers last
dramatic success 1.-The Spirit of Paul
Doom" The murderer of young
woman is suddenly brought into the
room in which the crime was COM
mitted. A portrait of his victim hangs
from a wall. A storm RACES outside.
A blast of wind, accompanied by
thunder and lightning tears open the
windows and extinguishes the lights.
Terrified, the murderer turns his eyes
to the picture. The painted canvass
is illumined with an uncanny light.
The features of the portrait assume
life like expression, the form leaves
and the young woman floats out Of the
picture frame towards her slayer,
pointing an accusing finger at him.
The Mortified stricken wretch shrieks
and swooms. The wrath floats above
the heads of the characters on the
stage and silently floats back to the
portrait just as one of the frightened
principals brings a light in the
haunted room. Nothing can be dis
covered above the canvass to explain
the mystery. Altho the spectator
knows the episode is the result of an
invention of Mr.. Carriers, who is
nothing short of a stage wizard, he
cannot escape sharing some of the
terror evinced in mimicry by the actors.
