Defendants Had Intimidated.

In announcing the decision Justice
Wright declared the defendants had
"intimidated, brow beaten and coerced"
the patrons of the stove and range
company until 1t had suffered severe
loss.
Pending an appeal the three defend
ants were allowed to give bail for their
temperance.
Last March the court of appeals mod
flied the decree granted by the supreme
court of the District of Columbia add
ing to the injunction the words 'in
furtherance of said boycott"
This modification was looked upon by
attorneys for the defendants as ma
terially affecting the proceedings for
contempt They claimed that had those
words appeard in the original injunc-
ton the contempt proceedings never
could have been decided against them.
When the decision was rendered
neither the labor leaders nor their
counsel were present.
As forecasted by Mr.. Gompers in a
recent issue of the Federationist, an at
tempt will be made to appeal the case
to the United States supreme court. The
right Of appeal, however. is a matter
of controversy. Some attorneys hos1
that as this decision finds the contempt
to have been a criminal offense the
court of appeals would have the last
say in the matter, as it has of all
criminal cases in the DISCREET. Others,
however, contend taht as the constitu-
tional right of free speech and liberty
of the press is involved, the labor lead
ers may prosecute an appeal.
No action will be taken toward the
arrest of the men until the matter of
the appeal has been determined.
Sheppard Dissents.
Chief Justice Sheppard in his dis
senting opinion said:
AS regards the conclusion that this
proceeding must be regarded as crinrf-
nal solely. and in consequence that the
evidence on which the conviction rests
can be considered because none pre-
scented in a bill of exceptions reserved
on hearing, I will content myself with
saying that l am not clearly convinced
that it must be so regarded.
II have heretofore expressed the
opinion that much of the injunction or
der was null and void because opposed
to the constitutional provision con-
corning freedom of speech and freedom
of the press. Subsequent reflection has
confirmed this view.
Il concede that the court had juris-
diction over the matter in controversy
and of the parties, but / cannot agree
that the decree was rendered in accor1-
ance with the power of the courtpower
limited by express provision of the
constitution"

terms of the Injunction. After hearing
the contempt proceedings Justice
Wright of the supreme court of the
district found the defendants had been
guilty of wilfully disobeying the in
junction and sentenced them to impris-
onment in the district Jail.

MASON CITY AND CLARION
Mr.. cass Proposes to Extend waverly
Line to Mason City and Then Paral-
isI Great Western to Fort Dodge -
Proposed Limo Would Touch Pros
porous Territory.

Fort Dodge. Dec. GA new interur-
pan project of big proportions is in
prospect for Fort Dodge. and not only
in prospect hut very likely to culmin-
ate rapidly and surely. l.. S. Cass. inn
mediately recognized as one OF the
most able men the Great Western re-
Gently employed, is at the head of the
plan TO connect Mason City, Waterloo
and Fort Dodge, by electric lines. 1t is
reported that surveying is going on in
a quiet way al the present time and
that capital is being organized to
finance the plan.
L. S. Cass Is former Waterloo
man. who controls number of lines
between Waterloo and Cedar Falls,
and Waverly. His ability was recog-
nized by the Great Western road
when they made him a vice president
several years ago and his qualifica-
ton as an exceptional railroad bust
ness man. has been amply proven since
Stickney's retirement Until his resig-
nation. it is understood that he was
perhaps the acting head of the road
and his resignation deprived the sys-
tenn of q fine man.
The Present Plan.
1t is understood by quite direct in
formation. that ME-. Cass long has had
in mind q plan for the connection of
several large Iowa c1Tes. by electric
lines. The plan now worked out would
connect Fort Dodge. Mason City and
Waterloo at a minimum cost. as to
connect Mason City and Waterloo, a
line would be necessary only from Ma I.
son City to Waverly, the Waterloo and
Northern extending to the latter place.
The Waterloo and Northern is at
present a steam road but owned by Mr..
electric line joining the Mason City
Waverly extension.
Another branch Of the system
planned would be from Clear Lake, al
most parallel with the Great Western
and passing thru Clarion either to
Webster. City or Fort Dodge, with Fort
Dodge the most probable objective
point The prospective Crooked Creek
electrification would, of course, fur
nish the electric connection to Fort
Dodge for patrons of the new line, even
If the new terminal was Webster City
which is quite improbable.
Activities Now Evident.
1t seems quite evident. from all thai
can be learned here, that this big in
terurban plan is much more than {
mere dream of the future.

is in progress, SO that no estimate car
be made of the cost of such a system

Ackley, Dec. 6.-An Important de-

one-third Of the estate of Mr. Willems,
who died about a year ago.
The widow, Moetje Willems, mar
ried the deceased, about five years ago.
Both had been married before and
both had grown up children. Before
their marriage they came to Ackley
and had a contract drawn by which it
was provided that, upon the death of
Mr. Willems before his intended wife,
she should receive the sum of $1,000
in lieu and place of all claim upon his
estate, including dover and allowance
for support
After his death the widow claimed
that she was unable to understand the
English language, and had been de-
ceived by the deceased into signing the
contract without knowledge of its con-
tents. One of the incidents of the case
was the fact that the contract was not
found after the death of Mr.. Willems.
and had to be proved by copy. The case
was hetly contested by both sides and
had been pending for some time. The
