United States Senator James A. Reed.
attorney for state, that the defense
had spirited away Mrs. Clara Wilson,
who made affidavits last week alleging
attempts to bribe the first Hyde jury,
furnished the only feature to enliven
this mornings session, of the hearing
of DR.. B. Clark Hyde's application for
elisors. Most of the time was given
over to an introduction of affidavits
and counter affidavits bearing upon the
treatment of DR.. Hyde while in the
county jail.
Senator Reed said that Mrs. Wilson
after making affidavits that she had
been offered $4,000 to hang the Hyde
jury had disappeared, evidently with
the connivance of the defense. The
state he said, desired to obtain from
Mrs. Wilson an affidavit regarding a
statement she made a year ago which
did not agree with her more recent
ly affidavit. After hour Of wrangling
between Senator Reed and attorneys
for the defense in which the argu-
ments became extremely heated
Judge Porterfield ruled out Senator
Reeds charges.
BY agreement today it was decided
that the second Hyde trial will be held
in Judge Porterfield's court room.
Judge Latshaw, who granted the
change of venue, ordered that his
court room be used.

man using the signature, Chas. J.
Kirby, who seems to be a professional
check writer, stopped off in Topeka for
a few hours last evening and exercised
the signature to the extent of getting
away with $49.50 worth of sporting
goods from the II. B. Howard store.
Another young man accompanied him
everywhere he went and was a party
to his transactions.
The two men had secured rooms at
212 Harrison street and asked How
ards clerk to have the goods delivered.
1t was about 6 o'clock when they came.
The purchaser had left the check in
payment in the hands of his landlady
to turn over to the carrier. She sug-
gested that an investigation be made
before the goods were left. The car
rier telephoned the store and was told
to take the check.
The two men disappeared shortly
afterwards, returning from up town
and leaving with their good. Their land
lady for a few hours told Sergeant
Sauls of the police force today that the
two men had gone up town shortly
after taking a room and that when
they returned one of them sat down
and wrote four checks. One was for
her room rent for a month, another
was the Howard check, another was
for a clothing house, which, however, did
not make their delivery and so did not
lose, and the other she did not see.
When Kirby" had written the checks
he handed them to her to give to de-
livery boys who brought packages.

The Merchants hotel, which had re-

flood, is in immediate danger, as well
as the old postoffice building, the home
of the Jackson County bank. Nothing,

compelled to leave their homes, and
business men of Black River Falls who
were in temporary headquarters have
again moved tc higher ground.
