fore Big Audience.

Doom, Feb. 1S.--With the town opera
house as court room. and with an
audience that filled the hall which act
ed as jury in purpose. but not in fact.
attorneys participated i'll a novel trial
here
The case was one wherein a farmer
! and a graf nelevator company had Il
dispute over the price of some grain.
The justice of the peace, before whom
the case was to be tried. rented the
opera house for the trial. and the audi
ence composed of townspeople and
farmers, had already assembled. A
jury trial was demanded, and the JUS
tice ordered the town marshal to pick
the jury from the crowd. This was
done by the guardian of the peace
standing on the stage and choosing
various persons in the room for jury
duty.
After the jury was selected the trial
| proceeded smoothly, and without inter-
ruption: but when the closing argu-
! ments were made the audience joined

was IL mighty cheer from one faction

Head Of Oakland Schools Has Backing
b Of Board in Whipping Case.

Special to Tilnes-Republican
Oakland, Feb. 1s.-The announce
ment was made some weeks ago that
V. l.. Mangun, superintendent of
schools at Oakland, Iowa, had been ar
rested and the reports were that he
had overwhipped a boy, but the facts
are the parent was angered because
the boy was expelled for the balance
of the school year. The boys father
told the president of the board that he
did not object to the punishment, but
the next day he had the superintend-
ent arrested on the charge of assault
and battery. He was shown that he
was pursuing Il very foolish course il
his aim was to get the boy back into
school The board informed him that
the superintendent was carrying out
their instructions in the expulsion. The
superintendent had placed the entire
matter before the board the night be-
fore the expulsion took place, and they
decided that the best interests of the
school demanded the expulsion of this
boy. as his presence was detrimental
in many ways Upon learning these
facts from the board the plaintiff saw
his mistake and dropped the suit. The
board confirmed the action of the SUI
perintendent.
