SALOON CASE TODAY.

Interest In the saloon cases that are
being tried before Judge F. w. Eichel.
berger since yesterday morning, TOOK
= lively turn this morning when Al
torney 10 Jaques for the defense
called Attorney Joe Posten to the
stand to testify. The questioning of the
witness brought out the statement that
Attorney w, w. Rankin, who is prose
cutting the liquor cases, had accepted a
sum estimated at 5000 from Posten to
dismiss or cease to push cases against
certain saloons where Leisy beer was
sold. The witness could not state with
any degree OF certainty just how much
the amount turned over by him as
agent for the brewing firm to Mr..
Rankin amounted to. He stated that
the amounts were paid at different
times and may have aggregated more
than $500. Attorney Rankin was asked
by the defense's attorney regarding
the payment OF sums to him to shield
the Leisy beer saloons and stated that
he did not know which saloons handled
that brand. The case In which the evil
dence was brought out is that of r. A.
Mills vs.. d. Dryer. Attorney Rankin
was again on the stand this afternoon
and questioned regarding the issues OF
the Westlund saloon case heard IN g
previous term. 1t seems to be the OBJ
feet Of the defense to show that pref
udice exists with the prosecution
against certain brands Of beer sold.
The evidence was completed shortly
after dinner and after the attorneys
made their arguments to the court this
the Injunction was denied.

Fell From Ladder.
The case was one for damages In
the sum of $4,000 brought by Clyde
Stansbury former employe OF the
Wabash Railroad Co. at Moulton. Per-
sonai injury was the basis of the &C.
ton and Stansbury claimed that he
was severely injured while engaged
in supplying dining car with water
at Moulton. The negligence Of the
company as alleged by the plaintiff
consisted in not providing hand holds
on the car for the employee to use in
his work, and that the ladder provided
for the plaintiff was defective and too
short. The injury was caused by the
plaintiff falling while in the act OF
joining the hose with the water tank
of the car. In the fall. 1t was alleged

Counsel Have Tilt.
The case as hard fought by both
sides; the railroad taking the view
that the employee knew of the condi-
ton Of the appliances that were furn-
ished and that his using them was an
acceptance Of the risk incurred. A
tilt between the counsel in which the
lie was passed and comparisons OF
personal regulations was banded
furnished little sensation during the
hearing of the case which took up most
Of the time given Ottumwa for the
October term.
The argument on a motion for new
trial took up much of the time Of the
court this morning. The case argued
was that Of Raymond against the
Iowa Central Railway Co. which was
heard here during the spring term of
federal court. The plaintiff Raymond
at that time was given verdict OF
$1,000 on suit for $4,000. The mo-
ton for the new trial is made by the
defense. At the conclusion of today's
work, the United States court adj
journed for the October term.
