tated Him-court Takes Case Under
Amusement,

Marengo, Aug. 19-The custer case
against Mayor Henderson has been
submitted to Judge Preston and he has
returned to Oskaloosa, where he ex-
poets to decide it soon.
Yesterday Mayor Henderson went on
the stand in his own behalf, testifying
that he had partaken Of the flowing
bowl, but had never been incapacitated
for work and the discharge of his duties
by the load he had taken on
Twenty-Five other witnesses testified
in his behalf, many swearing that they
had never seen him intoxicated. M. A.
Raney, D. NJ. Rowland. City Marshal
Vaughn and others of prominence ap-
peared in his behalf
One witness said that Mayor Hen
derson may have been suffering from
slight alteration at the time that the
states witnesses swore he was under
the influence of liquor
Mayor Henderson on the stand re-
viewed his career in detail and together
with other witnesses conveyed the idea
that the case had grown out of pre-
JUDGE and i'll feeling of enemies.
AT the close of the testimony the at
torneys for Mayor Henderson moved to
dismiss the case, contending that the
Cosson law was invalid in that it lid
not grant an accused official a trial by
jury and summary preceding to oust
him was unconstitutional. Judge Wade
spoke for an hour and half. Attorney
General Byers replied on behalf of the
state. He defended the law and the
principle behind it ard severely ar
raigned a public officer whose conduct
was such as to subject him to the ap-
plication Of the statue.
The court took the motion and the
case under AMUSEMENT, the lawyers
filed briefs with him and so the case
] came to an end

Ambition Of Lifetime.

New York.-In reaching the north
pole Commander Robert f. Peary has
achieved the ambition of lifetime. AS
a boy. his day dreams were of an unex-
plored land for to the northward, and
such printed matter concerning the
polar regions as fell into his hands
was read with intense interest.
Throughout his college career at
Bowdoin and in the years following he
made close study of Arctic explora-
ton, the peculiar fascination which
the subject held for him deepening as
he matured. AS means of livelihood
he adopted the profession of civil en-
gineer, entering the United States
navy in that capacity, october 26.
1881. Three years later he was ap-
pointed an assistant engineer on the
board which surveyed the route of the
Nicaraguan ship canal.

New York.-Peary has reached the
north pole.
1t has been doubly discovered.
From the bleak coast of Laborador
Commander Peary flashed the news
that he had attained his goal in the
far north, while at the same moment
in Denmark DR.. Frederick A. Cook was
being dined and lionized by royalty for
the same achievement
Yankee grit has conquered the
frozen north and there has been cre-
ated coincidence such as the world
will never see again. Two American
explorers have planted the flag of
their country in the land of ice which
man has sought to penetrate for four
centuries; and each ignorant of the
others conquest, has sent within pc
riod of five days laconic message of
success.
Here are the various messages re-
ceived, all dated Indian Harbor, via
victory:
The the Associated Press, New
York.-Stars and Stripes nailed to
north pole. PEARY.'
ITO Herbert L. Bridgman. Brooklyn.
N. Y.-Pole reached Roosevelt safe

men was brief but non-committal;
Peary was even briefer. but specific.
STARS and Stripes nailed to north
nole," he said
September / DR.. Cook sent out from
Shetland islands the first message of
his success-a message which has
aroused storm of controversy around
the world.

view in the land Of ice and unheard
from since August, 1908, startled the
wold by y similar message sent
from In6.an Harbor. Labrador. There

With but word from Peary, the
world waits for details. but none will
be available until he arrives at Cha
teau Bay. Labrador.
Both the old and the new world
were apprised of Peary's great
achievement practically at the same
moment and the excitement
which followed attests to the
high pitch of interest aroused over
this climax of mans perseverance.
Newspaper extras were rushed from
the press and those who read mar
veled at the twist of the universe
| which had snatched the ice mask from
the north in SO strange manner.
1t was comparatively simple mat
ter to ascertain that the April 9th re-
ferred to by Peary was April of this
year. as his expedition did not start
from New York until July Z, 1908.
DIR. Cook was among the first to
cable congratulations to Peary.
