January %, 1908, she was released as
improved"
From the time of her discharge III
til today her mother, Mrs. Elizabeth
Robinson, of Chatfield, had neither
seen nor heard of her daughter.
Fears were entertained that she
might have destroyed herself or had
suffered a recurrence Of her malady
and might be wandering aimlessly
about the country. Efforts were
made to locate the woman, but to no
avail; she had disappeared as com
.pIetely as though the earth had swal-
lowed her.
Several months ago woman in
destitute circumstances applied to SUI
perintendent Joseph Klingaman for
aid. Her case was investigated and
Mary Robinson was sent to the coun-
ty home. o., Recently Mr., Klingaman
learned she had been resident OF
Chatfield, Mimi, and in an effort to
have that county take charge of the
INDECENT, he wrote to the authorities
a letter OF inquiry. The information
was given that the young woman had
been an inmate of the insane asylum
but had wandered away and that the
mother still lived at Chatfeld. Sup,
Ierintendent Klingaman wrote the par.
ent and she arrived on the first train
to care for her daughter.

IN THE DISTRICT COURT
Disposition of Various Matters by
Judge and Jury.

The famous injunction proceed
OF supervisors and DR.. J. E. Morgan,
smallpox physician, terminated in the
district court this morning with find
ing against the Mahaska County Fed
Grafton and in favor of the ,Oard OF
supervisors. The action was for an
injunction restraining the board from
employing a county smallpox physi-
clan. on the grounds that the con-
tract was Illegal under the laws regu-
lating the duties of the board OF
ing the salary of DR.. J. E. Morgan as
such official. The suit was brought
last October and it was agreed that
no temporary injunction should issue
upon the supervisors promise that
the salary for the remainder of the
year should be withheld from the doc:
tor until the litigation had been set
tied. Judge Clements has now ended
the controversy in the district court
b. dismissing the plaintiffs petition
uLon it's merits. An appeal will pro
Lably be taken at once TO the supreme
court and the attorneys for the Fed
Grafton state they are confident that
a reversal will be granted by the high
e. court upon points not covered in
the decision of Judge Clements. The
finding was not made in writing, but
l. is said that the lower court did not
rule definitely upon the legality of the
contract, but based his finding princi-
pally upon the fact that not sufficient
showing had been made that the tax,
payers were prejudiced one way or
the other by the making OF the con
tract, and that, therefore, they are not
entitled to an Injunction. The coun-
sci for the board Of supervisors claim
that the making OF the contract saved
the county several thousands of dol.

co. F TO THE FRONT
Among the Leaders at the State
Shoot In Des Moines.

Company F's detail to the State
Range at Des Moines has returned
home and while they didn't complete,
| ly cover themselves with glory, they
did at last get in with the glory
crowd. Over 800 officers and men
Of the |. n. G. were in attendance and
practically all the best shots of the
| Iowa Guard were in the shoot.
Co. F was represented by Capt. }. e.
Bradbury, 1t. Gus Drinkle, Sergt. Fred
Hill, Corp. Fred Pilgrim and Privates
Jesse Grant and Walter Gable.
In about twelve events Co. F was
entitled to enter. They won three
firsts and two seconds. ......-.
| In the Clark match for teams of six
men from any rifle club or military
! organization affiliated with the Nation
Rifle Association, were AS entries.
Co. F, 54th Reg. won first. with a
score of 256 out of a possible 800, an
Average of AZ 2-3 for each man.
The Clark match Is shot at 500
yards. -...
Considering that q deviation of $50
o. an inch in the amount of sight TAX
ell at 800 yards will throw the bullet
either under or over the target, Co.
F's winning the match with a score of
256 and not a miss in the score is a
record not only for the team and Co.
F. but the whole city of Oskaloosa to
put on airs about.
In this match Co. F had two men,
Privates Grant and Gabel, who had
never shot at 500 yards before, yet
beth those men made scores of 40,
and in the National Guard Trophy
shoot Private Grant shot 40.
In the Tyro of the Shaw match
Private Gable won first at 200 yards
with a score of AZ; also in the same
match 1t Drinkle took second at 800
yards, with a score of 40 out of pos
sible so. Capt. Utly, of MANCHESTER,
took first with a possible so.
These two scores at 800 yards were
high the entire shoot and the more
you study such scores the harder they
look to get.
Corporal Pilgrim won first in the
Consolation Match at 200 yards with
score of 43. 1t. Drinkle made a j.
in his score of AZ or would have been
in the money.
Co d of Washington won the 54th
Reg. cup, with Co. F a close second.
In the National Guard Trophy shoot
Co. F had three men. 1t. Drinkle,
Sergt Hill and Private Grant, on the
oath Reg. team. 1t. Drinkle, an old
man in the game, finished fourth IN
the 54th Reg. team and Private Grant
in his first year of shooting finished
fifth, only four points behind 1t.
Drinkle.
The shooting game is one of the
most interesting of all outdoor sports
and contrary to the general belief.
is one of the hardest to learn. The
more you do learn the more you see
there is still to study out, and for a
man to be an expert with the rife or
pistol he has long interesting study
before him.
Co. F is at this early stage working
on material for next years range de
tail, and no pains will be spared by
the officers md men in making it the
best in the state.

LIBEL CASE IS
POLITICAL MATTER
Judge Makes Caustic Comment
on Panama Suit.
HAS FORMED NO OPINION
Jurist Explains He's Doubtful Whet ,r
Defendants Maliciously Libeied
Roosevelt, Taft and
Others.

Indianapolis. Ind, Oct. 12.-That the
so-called Panama libel case" was
more or less of political matter"
was the comment of Judge A. B. An
derson of the United States court of
this district, at the close of argument
in the hearing of Charles r. Williams
and Delavan Smith, proprietors of the
ment is seeking to remove to the Dis
trict of Columbia for trial on the
charges of criminal libel
Formed No Opinion.
The court said that it wished not
to give an impression that it had
formed an opinion in the merits of the
case, but that it wished TO point out
the trend of the argument towards its
further enlightenment as to whether
or not this was probable cause for in
dictment of Messrs Williams and
Smith by the federal grand jury of the
District of Columbia for criminal libel
in their having published articles in
timating that there was a graft" of
$2S,000,000 in the sale of the Panama
canal zone to the United States by the
French company.
What is the guilty intent TO be
shown on the part of these defend
ants?" the court asked Stuart McNa-
mara, special attorney for the depart
ment of justice in charge of the pro-
ceedings. The judge went on to ex-
plain that he was in doubt that it could
be shown that the defendants had ma
licious forthought to libel former Pres
ident Roosevelt, President Taft,
Charles p. TAFT, William Nelson Crom-
well, J. Pierpont Morgan, Douglas
Robinson and others.
Canal Political Prs,sct
The whole Panama canal project is
a great political project" said the
court, and there has been, and is,
much honest expression of opinion as
to the ACCESSIBILITY of having chosen
the Panama route in preference to the
Nicaragua route, and now, since the
cost of building the canal is so much
larger than at first estimated, as tc
whether or not the United States
O"h any CdHdl.
The press has public duty to per-
form, and in political discussions 1t
seems to me that the conception of
libel should be greatly different from
the conception that should apply to
case of libel on a persons private
character. | am not seeking to preju-
dice the case at this time; | am only
seeking for light on the question here
as TO whether criminal libel may be
possible in this matter. Criminal libel
is crime against society"
Charges Are Refuted.
Mr.. Mcnamara devoted a large part
of his argument to attempting to es-
tablish the fact of criminal libel on the
part of the defendants. He said the
records at Washington absolutely re-
futed charges of corruption in the Pa
mama purchase, that the defendants
had not considered these records in
publishing the charges complained of,
and that whatever was the intention
in their minds, the act they committed
amounted to criminal libel.
