Kindly Cincinnati Judge Says He

Cincinnati, o., May 21.- De
claring that the county prosecu-
tor, a judge Of the court of com
mon pelas and perhaps also the
January grand jury had conspir-
81 to deprive George B. Cox of
his constitutional rights, Judge
Dickson today ordered the in
dictments against the republican
leader quashed. Immediately af
ter Prosecuting Attorney Hunt
took steps to have the case APP
pealed to the higher court, his
object being to prolong the life
Of the indictments and force Cox
to trial on charges of perjury.
Practically Cox is free by to-
days decision of Judge Dickson,
and the only hope of the prosecu-
tor is obtaining a reversal of the
decision on grounds of error suf-
ficient to allow him to present
the alleged facts to some subse-
quent grand jury for a new in.
dictment. If he fails in his ap.
peal today's decisions will oper.
ate to prevent this, in that Judge
Dickson found the perjury indict
ments returned last February anC
March defective in substance.

JUDGE GOODS DECISION OF
INTEREST TO FARMERS

Aurora, Neb., May 49, In the
case in which William Worthing-
ton, manager of the Aurora Mill
ing company sued the Farmers
Elevator company of Aurora to
compel the latter company to
transfer to him certain shares of
stock in the elevator which he
had bought from their individual
owners, Judge Good handed
down a decision yesterday, the
stock must be transferred to
Worthington, and dividents on
it must be paid to him from the
time be bought it up till April
10. when the new law went into
effect. providing that such comp
anies as the Farmers Elevator
company could do as they pleas
cd with their returns, and were
not compelleC TO declare any Ill
vidends at all.
On the other hand Worthing-
ION will have to pay a certain
penalty imposed upon him by
the Farmers Elevator company
because he did not %patronize ex-
clusively that elevator company,
IN which he held stock. This
penalty will amount to more than
the dividends he will receive.
Furthermore the Farmers Eleva-
Tor company will not have to
change its methods of doing bust
ness, as Worthington petitioned.
The decision affects all farmers
elevators in the state.

BROODED OVER OPERATION
Hamilton County Man Killed
Himself When Surgeon
Arrived.

Aurora, Neb., May 20.-Frank
Mcclure, living about one mile
east of Giltner, in this county
committed suicide yesterday. Nc
CURE had been afflicted for some
time with a disease pronounced
appendicitis by his physician. BY
appointment the physician was to
meet Mcguire at his home Fri
day and he was to go with him
to Grand Island to submit to a
surgical operation. Accordingly
the physician went to Mcclure s
home. He was informed by the
mans parents that a change i'll
plans had been made and that
no operation would be made.
Upon asking if he could see Nc
CURE, the physician was inform
ed that he was out in the field.
The physician went to the field
and as he neared the sick man
he drew a razor and severed a
jugular vein, dying within a few
minutes. TIL, coroner was called,
but self-destruction was so evil
dent that no inquest was thought
necessary. Mcclure was twenty
nine years old and unmarried. 1t
is thought that he had brooded
over his disease until his mind
had become unbalanced.
