The explanation is that a Hamilton

been visiting at the above homes and
was taken sick at the Guthrie home

the Gilmore and Guthrie homes were

( Iowa Falls Jan. 4.--Walter l.. Weav-
er returned home last evening, coming
in on the Short Line from the north.
Mr. Weaver is here in compliance with
an agreement to appear for trial and
plead to the indictments in the dis
trct court, which convenes a week
from today He was indicted last
March on two counts, for uttering
forged instruments.
Up to a short time ago, his where
abouts We're unknown, but thru the
persistent efforts of Sheriff Walsh, he
was located on beard the United States
steamship st. Louis, at Bremerton,
Wash, on the Puget Sound. Sheriff
Walsh at once started proceedings for
eXtradition for the party for whom he
had a warrant. but before matters
could be closed up, relatives appeared
in court and filed an appearance bond
for the young mans appearance at the
January term of court, to answer the
indictments against him. Sheriff Walsh
then dropped the matter. and relatives
secured the young mans release from
the war department, and he will ans
wer the charges in court at the coming
term.
What his plea will be is a matter Of
conjecture, since it is intimated in
some quarters that the plea of mental
alteration at the time he attempted to
float the forged instruments, is an ex-
tenuating circumstance that should
govern in the court passing on the
case. Prior to his trouble, which was
generally regretted on account of his
previous good record, he was a practic-
ing attorney in this county, and was to
have been a candidate for county at
torney before the June primaries.

Most Interest at Montezuma.

Special To i1meS- Repuoilcan.
Montezuma, Jan. 4.--The regular
term of the district court, which was
to have commenced on Jan. 5, has been
postponed until Jan. II, by order of
Judge Willcockson. who presides at
the coming term The great amount of
business in Jasper county necessitated
the delay.
AS was the case last term, the COM
ing term will be largely taken up with
the criminal business. Some OF the
cases which We're brought for last
term, were continued until the January
term, because of the great amount of
work last term. The gambling cases
from Grinnell against the defendants,
Rheder, Kirkpatrick and lesser are to
be tried at the coming term. At the last
term, lesser, and Rheder were found
not guilty of keeping gambling houses
but the other indictments to be tried
against them, charge them with gamb
ling.
The case exciting the greatest in
terest is that of the state VS.. Jesse
Finley who is now in the custody of
the sheriff, awaiting the action of the
grand jury upon his case. 1t is con-
tended by the state that he with anoth-
err. or others, killed an old man by the
name of Read, in Brooklyn. some four
years ago. At the time of the murder,
the authorities tried to apprehend those
guilty of the crime, but without sue
cess and hearings Were had with that
purpose in view, but sufficient evidence
could not be secured to warrant the
commencement OF proceedings against
those suspected. But recently the in
vestigation of the facts has continued
and Finley was arrested upon the
charge of having killed or assisted in
the killing of Read.
