who have heard the story extend con.

In Police Courts.

A couple of DRINKS and a couple of
Migrants have formed the size of the
police grist since Saturday. A per-
sonal encounter occurred Saturday
evening in the alley at the rear of the
lWetherwax pool hall about eleven
o'clock Saturday night, but it was
lover before officers appeared and no
arrests have been made.
Jonah Mitchem, after being on the
water wagon" for several months,
fell off his seat Saturday evening and
he was placed in Jail. He was ar
raigned before Mayor Ralston this
morning for intoxication, pleaded gull
ty and upon his promise to resume his
seat on the wagon and stay there, the
mayor released him.
Several lads got into a scnffle in
front of the NJ. l.. Shoemake second
hand store on First avenue west, Sat
urday evening. During their scuffle
one of the fellows was pushed against
the glass which he broke. Mr.. Shoe
make secured the names of the mis-
creants and he put the matter in the
hands of the police. But the bows
agreed to buy new glass so no ar
rests were made.

BIG ELECTION BET.
Two Thousand Dollars Posted On
Congressional Results.

Election bets in Oskaloosa have
been few and far between until the
past few days. Taft money has gone
begging at two and three to one.
Money has been freely offered on 9TH
er candidates without takers until Fri
day of last week, when Hamilton
money made its appearance locally at
even chances. Two to one on Ken.
dali are the odds in Ottumwa and at
other places, but here even money
is stipulated. Several hundred dol.
lars were bet Friday and Saturday,
and this Monday morning a bet of
one thousand dollars, no odds, was
posted by Charles B. McCulloch on
Hamilton, and was quickly taken by
William Shipley OF Evans, the same
amount on Kendall. Other bets of
several hundred dollars are reported,
but are not verified.

THREE FIRE ALARMS
Depattm' mt is Kept Busy But Little
Damage Results.

The fire department responded to
three alarms Saturday night and Sun
day morning. All were trivial blazes
and did not do great damage. The
first alarm was sent in about $3.50
o'clock Saturday evening for the old
Carpenter property, No. 1907 High
avenue West, owned by, Mrs. Edna
Hawkins. The house was unoccupied,
tenants having recently removed
ttherefrom The fire was OF incendiary
origin and was started in closet in
the interior of the dwelling. The mis-
creant who fired the place was eyi.
dentally determined to have a blaze,
for the fire department had hardly re-
turned to the station when a second
alarm was sent in. This was soon
after eleven o'clock and the flames
this time had been given good
start. The fire burned hole through
the roof and through the floors.
Water was thrown and the department
had difficulty in preventing serious
damage.
The third alarm was turned in
about $50 o'clock Sunday morning
for the lunch wagon that stands east
of the Albert, Roesch saloon, No. GIT
High avenue West The fire caught
from, a flue through the roof and but
for the timely appearance Of the fire
company the blaze might have re-
suited in an, extensive damage to ad.
joining buildings. 49,. ,''. ., ..,.'...

MALICIOUS MISCHIEF
Hollowe'en Rioters Destroy A De-

About the only piece of malicious
urday night was the utter destruction
of delivery wagon belonging to the
Hoffman & Baker Grocery Company.
Miscreants took the wagon from the
grocery stables on Fifth avenue east,
onto the Iowa Central east division
track south of town. They took it out
to the center of the high bridge"
about two blocks west of Market
street and dumped it from the tres
tie to the creek bed below, distance
of about sixty or seventy feet. The
wagon was utterly demolished, not a
piece of the vehicle being worth saw

cost the firm at least one hundred
dollars.
The vandals took the wagon after
midnight. The company use a num-

result.
The case has been given into the

1913 and 1885 Of the Code. There was
no provisions in the will for the
widow in lieu of dover and it does
not appear that she has made any
election to take her distributive share
in lieu of dover or that she has done
anything to forfeit her right to occu-
|py the premises until her distributive
share is set aside. Upon the death of
her husband she was entitled to pos
|sess. and occupy the same until it was
otherwise disposed of according to
law. The probate of the will did not
deprive her of that right; nor does
lit appear that she ever knew of or
|assented to the contents of the will.
AS widow she would be deemed the
head of family and entitled to the
entire property for life should she de-
sire to use 1t as homestead. She
has never sought to have her distribu-
tive share set aside, nor has plaintiff
done anything to deprive her or her
fright either to the homestead or to
her distributive share. Indeed he does
not pretend to say even inferentially
that his mother has abandoned any of
her rights. He was not certain wneth-
ler he lived with his mother or she
with him. In order to show title and
fright of possession in himself it was
necessary for him to prove in some
manner that his mothers rights were
extinguished He is not suing for
nor was he allowed damages to the
reversion but damages for certain
years during which he and his moth
er occupied the premises in the man
ner before stated. Under such cir
lcumstances the mother was entitled
| to the rents and profits and for all
damages due to interference with the
possession or to diminution of the
rental value. Our previous decisions
are very clear upon this proposition.
Plaintiff showed no arrangement
with the mother whereby he was enti-
tied to the possession of the land, or
to its rents and profits, and as his
claim was for diminution of the rent
| al valued uring the years 1905 and
1906, he did not show himself entitled

owner of the premises and entitled to
the damages for which he sued
| II. The instruction with refer
ence to inconvenience and discomfort
to plaintiffs family heretofore quoted
was erroneous because it assumed
that plaintiff had family which so
suffered. Conceding that such mat
tiers might be considered in award
ing damages, it was a question wheth-
err or not plaintiff was the head of a
family which the jury was to deter
mine from the evidence adduced We
are inclined to the view that plaintiff
did not offer sufficient testimony to
Justify such an instruction.

lcover damages for nuisance or that

property may not do SO. Nor do we
hold that widow may not relinquish
lher homestead rights. But none OF
these questions are in the case as
now presented.

the democratic ticket When before
the students Of Michigan University
today he spoke on the issues Of the

meeting, which was held at noon to-
day in order to afford the students an
opportunity to hear the Democratic

The welcome extended to Bryan by
the democrats was enthusiastic and
the college boys of the democratic
club were especially prominent in the
demonstration. 1t is declared that
the meeting was one OF the most re-
m6rkable political gatherings of stu
dents ever held
Bryan devoted his speech to a dis
cussion of the trusts more particu-
larly, emphasizing some of his former
charges that the republican campaign
wac being supported by trust inter-
ests. He explained his attitude to-
ward labor and discussed the bank
+ deposit guaranty plan which is feat
ure of his present propaganda.
Although importuned by the party
leaders to reply to Roosevelt's accu-
sation that the corporations were sup
porting his candidacy, Mr.. Bryan re-
fused to make any statements in that
regard at the meeting. He declared,
however, that he might have some
thing to say later on that score. Bry-
