dence and returned a verdict All IF
the evidence is simply repetition of
the facts as given in The Gate City

testimony was given by Ben Steuter

He said:

-four of us drank about equally. do
not think my wife was intoxicated.
We had no quarrel during the day.
! The only reason I can assign for her
throwing the gasoline was that she
had periodical spells, which she had
frequently. Before she threw the gaso-
line she hit me with slipper on the
head and said: We all three will go
together, and threw the gasoline on
me, but not on the boy. After | got

back and got him. He had been shut

STERNE MAY

Supreme Court UphoIds Judge With
row in Ruling in Sterne-Off
Case and it Can be Tried
in District Court.
SOME PHASES OF CASE
A Heavy Cost Was Assessed Against
Louis Sterne, Defeated cand-

This In Court.
SOME PHASES OF CASE

The supreme court of Iowa has sus-
tanned Judge w. S. Withrow in the
contested election case of Sterne vs..
Off, holding that the district court has
jurisdiction to hear an appeal from
the city council. which decided against
Sterne and entered judgement against
him for nearly $500. The decision of
the higher body means that the case
will be retired in the district court,
according to Attorney Hazen l. Sawy-
er, who represented Mr.. Sterne.
When Louis Sterne, defeated in the
mayorality election of 1908. filed a
contest with the city council, vote
of the council went against him, to
5. Through his attorney the defeated
candidate appealed to the district
court. Mayor OFFS attorney, John E.

concern of which Captain Decker is

with the water power proposition in

statement today of Mr.. Decker, that
if forced to sell out to the water

his plant which would be damaged by
building the railroad tracks through
his present factory site, he could
easily build his enlire factory at the
corner Of Third and Blondeau streets.
Certain engineering lines made by
the chief engineer of the c., B. and

engineers of the Keokuk and Hamil-

that the tracks of the Burlington will
of necessity have to be laid through

Craig, claimed that the district court
had no jurisdiction and filed motion
raising the question as to that courts
right to hear the appeal. The motion
was overruled, Judge Withrow holding
that Stearne would appeal An appeal
from this ruling was taken to the SUI
preme court and the lower court af
firmed.
With costs of nearly $500 assessed
against Sterne the case will go to
trial, even though the term of office
has expired and there is no room in
the mayorality chair. 1t is said that
Stearne. in the evnt that he would
win the case would have a claim on
the salary during the time that Mayor
Off was in office Whether he would
be upheld on this point and collection
could be made from the estate of the
deceased ex-mayor is questionable
