 The pleasant weather and the rapid fall of the rivers in central Alabazna. incline most of the factors to the view that the damage to the cotton crops will be less than they first fear ed.

Junkin NEARING Soon.

Des Moines.--John Junkin, self con-
fessed slayer of Miss Clara Rosen at
ottumwa. will have another chance
Tor his life before the Iowa Supreme
Court at its next session. A transcript
OF the evidence In the first trial be.
fore Judge NJ. "A. Roberts OF the dis
trict court at Centerville has been
submitted to Governor Carroll, as pre-
scribed by the code in all cases where
the death sentence Is imposed.
According to the statement Of Judge
Roberts, who was in the city attend
ing a meeting Of the directory board
OF the Yeomen, the hearing before the
supreme court will be based entirely
on the evidence in the transcript of
the trial. It being claimed by Mr..
Junkin's attorney, Judge y. C. Mitchell
of Ottumwa, that the courts instruc-
tons to the jury we're prejudiced BY
2 statement made BY the prosecuting
attorney.
The general belief is that there is
little chance Of the supreme court
setting aside the sentence imposed
BY Judge Roberts. and that Junkin's
prospects of escaping the gallows are
slight. The fact that Junkin confess
ed his guilt in the Abba Jail is per.
haps the strongest bit OF evidence
against him. despite the fact that he
denied the confession on the stand in
the district court trial.
