HUBBELL WINS BIG SUIT
Judge McHenry Says Contention of
Milwaukee Railroad Company
Makes COMEDY of Errors"

Des Moines, Mar. 14.-The Des
Moines Union railroad was complete
ly indicated of the charges of fraud
made against it by the Milwaukee
railroad and by Judge McHenry of
the district court was declared to be
the owner of the mile of track in
volved in the $1,O0O,O0O suit brought
against it by the Milwaukee road.
The suit, which was on trial in the
district court for three weeks was one
brought by the Milwaukee railroad
in an effort to. establish clear title
to mile of railroad track in the
heart of Des Moines. The company
claimed it purchased the track from
F. NJ. Hubbell, owner of the Des
Moines Union, at the time it purchas-
ed the line of the old Des Moines
Northern & Western of which Mr..
Hubbell was also an owner.
Mr.. Hubbel claimed that the east
ern terminus of the track sold to the
Milwaukee was at West Twenty
eighth street and not Farnham street
as the company claimed. Judge Nc
Henry supported him in his claim.
"The Milwaukee railroad has failed
to prove fraud. 1t purchased the road
from Twenty-eighth street to Boone,
got what it paid for and was not de-
frauded in the action. The decree Of
this court is for the defendant, estab-
fishing it's right and ownership to the
property"

GUT W|FE's THROAT
George Channon Attempts Murder
With a Razor.
AT HOME OF WOMAN'S PARENTS
Couple Had Been Estranged for Two
Weeks, But Apparently Recon-
cliaton Had Been Effected
Taken to Hospital.

Des Moines, Mar. 14.-George Chan.
non, plasterer, attacked his wife at
the home of her parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Richard Burgess, South Fifth
and Harrison streets, cut her throat
with razor and made his escape
from the scene OF his crime. Mrs.
Channon lies at the point of death as
the result of her terrible wounds. She
is patient at Mercy hospital
Channon was captured within an
hour after the tragedy occurred, just
as he entered the home of his father,
John Channon, at 1913 Fillmore street
and when taken to the police station
made confession.
The Channons have been married
for ten years and are the parents of
two boys, George and Harry, aged 4
and years, respectively. The family
lived at 1850 East Grand avenue UNI
til two weeks ago, when Mrs. Chan
non left her husband and went to
the home of her father, taking her
boys with her. The fact that the man
was addicted to drink was given as
the reason for her action.
Saturday night Channon went to
the Burgess home at 1890 o'clock,
ostensibly on mission of peace. He
was invited into the house and ate
lunch with his wife. The other mem
bers of the household had retired.
After the meal Mr.. and Mrs. Chan
non went to the latter's room on the
second floor of the Burgess home, and
it was there, shortly after midnight,
that the tragedy occurred

She lowered her voice so that
heard no more. Holbrook was still
heaping abuse upon Gillespie, who
stood submissively by; but Helen ran
up the bank, the lantern light flashing
eerily about her.
The Italian drew Holbrook toward
the boat that lay at the edge of the
lake. He seemed to forget me in his
anger against Gillespie, and he kept
turning toward the path down which
the girls lantern family twinkled. Gil
lespie kept on after the girl, the Ian
tern flashing more rarely through the
turn in the path, until / caught the
threshing of his launch as 1t swung
out into the lake.
l drew back, seeing nothing to gain
b. appealing to Holbrook in his pres
ent overweight state. The Italian had
his hands full and was glad, judged,
to let me alone. A moment later he
had pushed off his boat, and heard
the sound of oars receding toward the
island.
l found my horse, led him deeper
into the wood and threw off the sad
die. Then l walked down the road
until l found barn, and crawled into
the loft and slept.

Indictment Drawn Up Against IL BY

Let the duke wander for a

working people, and note the stnuted
forms, the pinched features -. And
IL he go to that good charity (but,
alas, how futile is charity without
justice!) where little children are kept
while their mothers are at work, and
children are fed who would otherwise
go hungry, he may see infants whose
limbs are shrunken from want Of
nourishment Perhaps they may tell
him, as they told me, of that little
girl, barefooted, ragged, and hungry,
who, when they gave her bread,
raised her eyes and clasped her hands,
and thanked our Father in Heaven for
His bounty to her. They who told
me that never dreamed l think, Of
its terrible meaning. But ask the
duke, did that little child. thank
