Determination to keep his colors from
the ruthless hands of upper classmen
seemed to have held a very strong
place in the mind Of a young college
lad in school here. Leslie Pickard, a
loyal member of the middle academy
class, was attacked the other day while
wearing his class colors by several
members of rival class, who sought
to wrench from him his emblem. In
the scuffle he was thrown to the
ground and had it not been for his
presence of mind would have been be-
reft of his colors. He secreted them in
his mouth and when his opponents
sought them, swallowed them. For
several days he was watched by a
crowd of curious classmates who ex-
pected to see something happen. Up
to this time, however. nothing of note

Mason City, March 1S.--New life was
given yesterday ito the troubles and
excitement for the. town OF Meservey
from the famous "Meservey Five" case,
when n ruling granting n new trial of
the case was made by Judge Kelley In
the district court here In the first trial
of the case, which ended a fortnight
ago, the jury convicted four of the five
on charge of conspiracy against the
law. This meant a penitentiary sem
tence for them. Marshal Jones alone
of the five was acquitted.
AS soon as the verdict was returned
attorneys for the defense argued mo-
ton for an arrest OF Judgment and a
new trial. They based this motion on
thirty-s seven different grounds. Chief
among them were the claims that the
evidence was insufficient to convict and
that the court had erred in instruc-
tions to the jury both In the matter of
rejecting instructions as offered by the
defense and in allowing others offered
by the state. After having the motion
under advisement for two weeks the
new trial was granted, thus making 1t
unnecessary to give a ruling on the
motion to arrest judgment following
the recent verdict of conviction for the
quartet. Its members are now saved
from the penitentiary for time at
least All are now ont on bonds II Is
likely that the new trial will be held
at the April term of court. Judge KEEL
ley adjourned the January term here
yesterday after making his ruling In
the "Meservey Five" case.
