IOWA SUPREME COURT ISSUES
ORDER FOR FORMER GILMAN
WOMAN NOW in CANADA.
RESULT OF KIDNAPPING
CASE OF APRIL II LAST
Judge Ladd's Order, Restraining Moth
or From Removing Daughter From
Jurisdiction Of This District Is Vic.
lated, Says Higher Tribunal-Ap-
pearance Jan. IL.

The supreme court Of Iowa Wednes-
day cited Mrs. Maude Colebourne-
kreis, formerly of Gilman and this city,
to appear before thtat august body on
Jan. II, 1910, to show reason why she
should not be dealt with for contempt
of court, for the failure to observe the
order of Judge Ladd, restraining her
from removing from the jurisdiction of
the Seventeenth district court, her
minor daughter, Fay Colebourne.
The action of the supreme court is
the result of the alleged kidnapping
of the little Colebourne girl by her
mother and stepfather. which took
place here on April II last. The
Kreises are now in Canada.
Frank Ensminger, OF Gilman, the
child's guardian, had been awarded the
custody of the child and when Mrs.
Ensminger was in the city last spring,
in company with the girl. the Kreises
appeared and took the child, hurrying
her thru Main street store to the
rear, where an automobile was in wait
ing. The girl was whisked out of the
state and has been with her mother
since.
Mr.. Ensminger took up the matter
with the supreme court. and the order
of the court is the result.

The fact that Mr.. A. E. Wilbur is
anxious to retire from business, owing
to his present home being maintained
at Los Angeles, Cal, and Delos A. Will
bur's health is impaired and he desires
change of climate. led the other

member of the firm six years, when
the old firm of Densel & Wilbur sold
to A. E. Wilbur & Sons. The business
is one Of the oldest established in the

agement of the sons the business has
made wonderful growth. The store

elusive retail business.
Mr.. A. E. Wilbur will make his ar
engagements to return to California as
) soon as he is able to close up his in

which she responded.
The address of the afternoon proved
a treat, and was given by Rev w. G.
Muhleman, pastor of the Methodist
church at Hubbard, who spoke on the
subject, Mothers, and Their Relation
to the Child's Religious Life. Rev.
Mr.. IMuhleman comes of German
Swiss parentage His ancestry on his
fathers. the Swiss, runs back to the
royal family.
Rev. Mr.. Muhleman is an enthusiast
tic child lover, and is especially inter-
ested in boys, to the saving of whom
he has devoted much of his five years
ministerial work. He has organized
several boys clubs, for the purpose Of
bringing a better influence into the
lives of unfortunate street urchins
Speaking of various types Of moth
ers he divided the club mothers into
two classes, she who is run by her
club, and the mother who rules by the
use of her club Many Of his ideas are
based on personal observations and
"reminiscences, and incidentally, he
made a strong plea that homes be
made attractive for the boys as well
as the girls. He spoke strongly OF
the influence Of the bad mother on her
children, and next of the careless
mother, saying that carelessness, be-
cause It is carelessness, will not pre-
vent the wreckage of lives. He also
dwelt briefly upon the over-cautious
mother, and the resultant development
Of weak character. He dwelt with JOY
upon the good mother, and paid q
touching tribute to the uplifting infiu-
ence Of his own mother upon his life
Rev. Mr.. Muhleman holds that the
mother is largely responsible for the
religiuos life Of he rchild. and should
begin to develop 1t early.

CASES AGAINST PROMINENT MEN
DISMISSED BY THE
STATE.
SENSATIONAL SUITS
COME TO ABRUPT END
Illness of Two Of the States Witnesses
Assigned as Cause for Action of
Prosecuting Attorney - Defendants
Agree to Pay Costs of Nearly $780,
Others News of Interest.

Mason City, May Am application
for dismissal was made by the STATES
attorney in the case of the state of
Iowa VS.. j. G. Brown, Robert Gobeli,
w. P. Vanderzahm, Herman Fischer
and Lou Jones, the famous "Meservey
Five" County Attorney Robinson filed
this application for dismissal at the
time for the opening of the court and
it was at once granted
Certain conditions were imposed up
on the defendants in consideration of
this dismissal and according to their
own agreement. They are to pay all
of the costs of the first trial except a
pro rata share in the first trial of
Lou Jones, the town marshal of Mes
ervey, who was acquitted in that trial.
All OF the other four of the qulnret
were found guilty on a conspiracy
charge and they at that time faced a
term in the penitentiary Their at
torneys, however, We're successful in
securing a favorable ruling on mo-
ton for a new trial. This new trial
came on for hearing yesterday and a
demand for a separate hearing was
made by the defendants attorneys.
This the court granted and this meant
at least month in the trial of the
charges against the four men. With
the hearing of ex-Mayor Fischer all
ready under way the application of the
states attorney made an abrupt end
to the proceedings.
States Witnesses III.
County Attorney Robinson based his
application for the dismissal of the
charges against the five on the fact
that two of the star witnesses for the
state in this case, j. J. Wilson and
A. Brogan, are at present dangerously
i'll with typhoid fever and consequent
ly unable to testify. The subpoenaes
We're served upon them but Mr.. Rob-
inson states in his application for dis
missal that the officers who served
them failed to notify him of their ILL
ness. He therefore knew nothing of the
fact until when called they failed to
appear. Mr.. Robinson did not deem it
advisable for the state to continue the
trial without these and therefore asked
the dismissal.
Costs Nearly $500.
Total costs in the litigation against
the Meservey Five was nearly $500
This sum was for the expenses in
Cured in the first trial and for the
proceedings in the second trial to the
time of dismissal This sum of nearly
half a thousand did not of course in
clude attorneys fees and numerous
other expenses to which the defendants
have been subject, but represents only
the actual expenses of the trial as dis
| bursed by the county
