Special 70 Times -Republican.
Waterloo. Feb. 13.-Late this after
noon the jury in the $4,000 libel suit
of Mrs. ]. W. Hamilton against Mrs
Nellie Frank, was summoned into court
and discharged, having been unable to
agree upon a verdict The jury had
been out since Wednesday afternoon at
2:sO.
1t is understood that the jury stood
s to in favor Of verdict for the
plaintiff on the last ten ballots. to-
tai of thirteen having been taken. This
was the case in which Mrs. j. W. Ham
ilton wife of an Evangelical minister
at LaPorte, sued Mrs. Frank. also of
LaPorte, for sander and libel. De-
fendant was charged with slander in
circulating a story to the effect that
Mrs. Hamilton was seen sitting on the
lap of one DR.. Martin an optican, in
the apartments of Mrs. Hamilton, on
two different occasions Libel was
charged in sending a letter and post
cards containing the same allegations.
The judge took the question of SLAM
der away from the jury before the
trial was concluded, ruling in effect
that it was not a crime for married
woman to sit on another mans lap,
and that nothing criminal could be in
kferred from such action. This left only
the matters in the letter and on the
post card to be considered.
Defense admitted that the letter and
cards had been circulated, but in eX-
tenuation claimed they contained
nothing but facts. Defense therefore
sought to prove these facts, and in
troduced several eye witnesses to the
alleged scenes. Some of the jurymen,
however, discredited this testimony,
taking the ground that if Mrs. Hamil-
ton wished to sit on Martins lap she
would not place her chair in front of
a. street window, and Furthermore that
the witnesses could not distinguish the
faces of people thru a window screen
which was over the window,

Taft at Detroit Today.

Detroit. Feb. 13.-Secretary Taft ar
rived here at noon today and was the
guest for six hours of the Michigan
Lumber Dealers Association, which is
in convention here, before which he
made an address this afternoon.
Arthur I. Vooris, manager of Tafts
presidential campaign, arrived in the
city today. When his attention was
called to the statement of Senator For
aker last night that the Ohio primar-
les were so managed that none but
Taft supporters would take part in
them. and that a Taft victory in the
primaries was of no significance, Voors
carefully dictated the following state
ment: '"rhe struggle in Ohio. what
little there ever was of it, is over.
Everyone in Ohio knows l believe it
is useless for anyone to attempt to
make the people in other states be-
lieve that Taft will not have solid
delegation, or that there was not a
fair opportunity to make any contest
at the primaries that any one desired
to make in Ohio"

HORSE KILLED BY HOG.
Five Others Crippled by Brute on
Farm Near Cedar Rapids.


Farm Near Cedar Rapids.
Special 20 Times Republican.
Cedar Rapids, Feb. f1.-A two year
old boar and a number of horses held
a fierce combat on the farm of James
Hickey, three miles from this city on
the way to Ely. The hog got into the
barn with the horses and no one knows
how the fighting began, but the fur-
ious hog played havoc with the horses'
finally killing one and crippling five
others, some of them seriously. The
hog was furious and maddened with
rage. The only way to stop the on
slaughts of the animal was to XIII 1t,
and neighbor came with his
rifle and shot it.
The story seems. at first, almost I'M
possible of belief for it does not seem
possible that hog could accomplish
so much mischief among bunch or
horses. but the facts herein stated are
FULL, verified. The results in that horse
lot suggests new dangers that farmers
will have to guard against. An en-,
ragged hog has all the instincts OF the
wild and savage brute.
