Vincennes, Ind. Sept. 30.---One Of the

campaign of "Drys" against the "Wets"
is taking place today in this (Knox)
county. An option election is being

This historical Northwest Territory

stronghold in the liquor business be-
cause 1t is the supply center for much
Dry territory in Indiana and Illi-

Vets in their defense of the business,

Young Business Man Of Waterloo In
vents Commendable Device.
Waterloo, Sept. 30.-While attending
the theater here two years ago William
j. Peddicord ana his lady companion
had a mishap that gave his inventive
talent chance to exert itself and as
result he has patent pending for
self locking hat and cloak hanging
device for the use of theater patrons
that should ''fill a long felt want
AT the time mentioned Mr. Peddi-
cords derby was ruined as result of
placing x in the clumsy wire con-
and being used as football by an ex-
cited spectator in the rear. Mr.. Ped
dlecord has spent much of the time
since in working out his device and
the invention is attracting favorable
comment among the theatrical men
who have examined the models. 1t is
double hook similar in design to the
wall hooks and claps onto the back OF
the opera chairs. 1t Is adjustable and
when in use projects three or four
inches, but when not needed 1t swings
either way and falls into. a crevice
which locks it. The mechanism Is such
that the hook is sent into the self
locking crevice by a slight touch as
the patrons passes out of the seat. 1t
takes up only a quarter Of an inch of
space when not in use and can be
manufactured either of nickel or oxi-
died copper The inventor is a young
business man of this city.

JUDGE SCORES JURY
Men Who Acquitted Prisoner Charged
With Murderous Assault on Old Man
Roundly Criticized by Judge AIbrook.

Special to Times Republican.
Nevada, Sept. 30.-1n the district
court here Judge C. E. Albrook. of Ell
dora, took occasion to roundly score
the jury in case that returned a ver-
diet of assault and battery in an action
where assault with attempt to commit
murder was charged.
The defendant in the case. it was
claimed by the state. assaulted an old
man and beat him up shamefully The
jury, however. did not think, from the
evidence. that murder was intended,
and returned it's verdict of a simple
assault and battery, the maximum SEN
tence for which is thirty days in Jail
In sentencing the defendant to the
limit under the law the court informed
him that he was sorry he could not
send the prisoner to the penitentlary.
Judge Albrook said, however, that the
prisoner must not get the idea, from
the sentence, that he could go out again
and beat up anybody he wanted to,
because the next time jury might not
stand for it, The judge suggested to
the prisoner, however. that, when he
got out of Jail. he hunt up the jurymen.
who, the court thought, would be glad
to make a home for the defendant thru
the winter. The court also said that, If
the defendant so pleased, he might
jump on the members of the jury and
beat them up, and that he thought the
jurymen might appreciate it.

AN ALeoNA OUTRAGE.
Mrs. John Coon Accosted and Thres

Mrs. John Coon Accosted and Threat
ened on the Street at Night.
Algona, Sept. 30.-Mrs. John Coon,
living in the north part of town. re-
ceived a severe scare the other night
that it is probable she will remember
to the end of her life. She had been at
the Broadway theater and started for
home about 9 o'clock. AS she ap-
preached the alley by the F. S. Norton
lumber office, two young appearing
men came out of the alley and turned
north just in front Of her After walk
ing part way down the block the men
stepped to one side as if to let Mrs.
Coon pass and when she started to do
so one of the parties spoke to her.
saying "Wait a minute, we want to
speak to you" AS she hurried on The
man repeated the request and then
said stop or we will shoot!' and in a
moment more fired a revolver. The
two men then ran to the alley and
turned west. Mrs. Coon crossed he
street and ran into DutSn & Soren-
sens store, where she told her exper-
fence. Irwin Wilson Immediately start
ed down the street and met Marshal
Hackman, to whom he explained the
trouble. Hackman at once ran around
to the west side of the alley where the
men disappeared, making a thorough
search, but without discovering my
clue to the parties perpetrati ting the sill
ly trick.
A mysterious part of the whole af-
fair is that one OR two farmers must
have been close to the place where
the trouble occurred and heard noth-
ing of the shot. Other parties living
close to the place head no shot fired
nor anything of the trouble for some
time after.

under the recently enacted bank guar

under the recently enacted bank guar
anty law.
1T was the first big test for the law,
the Columbia being the biggest bank
in the state, with deposits of more than
$3,000,0O0.
This is the second bank failure since
the guaranty deposit law was enacted.
In the summer of 1908 the Information
al bank of Colgate was closed by the
bank commissioner because the Of
t1cers of the bank had made excessive
loans ito themselves. The banks liza
bilities, about s3s,000, were paid in full.
the bank was reorganized and now is
open.
The first discordant note in the gen.
ial plan for the commonwealth to
assume responsibility for the state
bank losses was the report from Guth-
rie that the state bankers will protest
the payment of the emergency 2 per
cent assessment on capital stock for the
purpose of swelling the bank guaranty
fund sufficiently to take care of the
failure Of the Columbia.
The Columbia was declared insolvent
by the state banking board shortly
dElCl lllluIlSLlI lctSL ulSIlI dlIu lllt QOOIS
were opened at 9 o'clock today by A.
NJ. Young, state bank commissioner.
Fewer than one hundred persons We're
waiting for admittance and when the
doors were closed at 4 o'clockk there
We're only seventy persons in the lobby.
The payment of depositors at first was
made at only one window, but later
payments were being made at three,
cash being handed out at two and
checks on other local banks at the
other window. 1t was not announced
at the close of business how much of
the banks deposits We're paid out.
Securities to the. amount of s250,000
have been offered the bank officials by
local capitalists, but these have been
refused on the advice of the bank COM
missioner, who expresses confidence
that there will be no difficulty for the
state to pay the depositors dollar for
dollar.
Interest thruout the state today
was intense. The Columbia Company
was the reserve for $50 other state
banks and had on deposit s1,30O.000 OF
their deposits. The failure in the APP
plication of the guaranty law would
mean ruin to many of these, and a
financial panic in the state.
