SpSC1dl W
Mason City, June 12.-Coercion OF
one of the jurors in the case, improper
influence of another and errors in the
Instructions of the court were the chief
grounds given by attorneys for the
plaintiffs in the case of RENTS Il De-
Buhr VS.. John Uhlenhopp when they
argued motion for new trial before
Judge Clark in this city yesterday. 1t
is Butler county case and involves
an $1,000 note the money from which
has gone to finance the German Land
Company, which failed thru bad deals
in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Canadian
lands.
RENTS & DeBuhr are the proprietors
of the Exchange Bank at Arlington
and they are holders of the note. In the
first place the note was for $4,000 and
then second note of $1,000 was given
to renew the first. Uhlenhopp signed
the first as a surety but claims that he
did not sign the second one and that
his name there IN is a forgery. In the
trial of the case recently at Allison the
verdict returned was for the defendant.
When the instructions of the cour' had
been given the jury was sent out with
orders to return a sealed verdic-. The
one juror who it is alleged was coerced
gives affidavit that he thought the
jury had to remain in the jury room
until a verdict had been reached when
the court ordered a sealed verdic-. 1t
is alleged, also, that another juror con-
versed with a person interested in the
case during the trial. The jury IN this
case was sent out late one afternoon
and returned a verdict the next morn
ing. The case attracted much attention
in Allison during its trial and was I'M
usually hard fought.

himself in an unenviable position when

but that an indictment will be re-

ROBBED ON TRAIN.

Travelling Man Loses Roll While Rid
ing on Illinois Central.
Dubuque, June 12.-E. E. McLaugh-
lin, travelling salesman for the West
ern Film Exchange, of Milwaukee,
Wis., was robbed on an illinois Cen
trail train shortly after leaving Du-
buque on Thursday afternoon.
The victim did not discover his loss
until he was nearing independence;
when he put his hand down into his
pocket to take out some change with
which to pay his bus fare, he was
amazed to find that every cent of his
roll had been taken from him some
time after he had boarded the train
at Dubuque. as he claims to distinctly
remember having the money when he
left the station here.
Mr.. Mclaughlin says that he re-
calls a smooth looking stranger who
iostled against him somewhat unnec-
essarily as he was passing from the
day coach to the smoker after the
train left Dubuque. He attached no
significance to the incident, however,
until he discovered his loss, and then
he was quite satisfied that it was the
stranger in question who had accom-
plished the neat bit of pickpocketing.
