Among the finds IL a unique bowl,
with four hippopotami on the rim, a
triumph of pottery work for the pc.

OF preservation. Let the bowl was
made nearly 1000 years ago. There
are beads in plenty, few of gold

Mason City, April 3O.-A demand for

court in the case of the "Meservey
Four" which was once the "Meservey
Six" Six We're at first bound over to
the grand jury, that body returned in
dictments against five, and in the first
trial of the case but four We're con-
victed.
This conviction was on the charge of
conspiracy against the law. Attorneys
for the defense made a motion for a
new trial and that motion was granted.
When the time for the new trial came
on the demand for separate trial for
each of the four was made. OF the orig
inal Six" Auctioneer j. j. Wilson was
the one against whom no indictment
was returned and Marshal Lewis Jones
was the one of the five on trial in the
district court who was acquitted. When
| the four We're convicted on the conspir-
acy charge the charge of resisting an
execution process was at once dis
missed.
Immediately after the demand for a
| separate and distinct trial for each OF
the four defendants was granted the
case against ENMayor Hermann
Fischer began. The other three of the
quartet are a former druggist, j. c
Brown. Robert Gobeli, and the forme,
