II IS ASSERTED THAT INJUNCTION IS
 UNCONSTITUTIONAL

Des Moines, Iowa, August Exchanging among other things that Judge Lawrence De Graff violated the constitution of the United States and of the state of Iowa, when he issued an injunction which ter minated the street car strike here last Sunday, the Des Moines City Railway company today filed in the circuit court it's motion to dissolve the injunction. The answer of the company was also filed. Conductor Hiatt, the man whose recent discharge, was responsible for the strike of nearly 800 union employees of the com pany is charged in 21 counts with having violated rules. It is stated that the com pany has no grievance against the union as a Whole but that Hiatt never will run dismissal of Judge De Graffs order, which compels the company to retain him.
 One of the principal features of the companys answer Is the charge that the street cars were not operated during the strike because of the expressed sym pathy of Police Commissioner Zeckel G. Rowe for the strikers and his alleged failure to provide adequate protection for the companys property.
 In the motion for the dissolution of the injunction the company alleges lack of jurisdiction and failure to give notice that the order was to be granted. It is asked that the order be dissolved only so far as it forces the company to reinstate Hiatt and that it be allowed to stand in reference to the unemployment of union men.

WHICH ONE LlEo7
orundy Center Girl Tsstifie. in Court
That She 10 Unmarried, But Later
the Hired Man startIes Court BY
Claiming to BE tho Girls Husband.

Special to Times Republican.
Grundy Center, March 3.-One Of the
most amusing circumstances that ever
arose in this county in the trial of
lawsuit, occurred in a trial here this
week before Justice OF the Peace c. E.
Butler, in case where Mrs. Barbara
Dutson had filed an information
against one OF her neighbors accusing
him of the larceny OF one Of her steers.
The attorney for the defense requested
that the witnesses be separated and
excluded from the room during the
taking Of testimony During the hear
ing the daughter Of Mrs. Dutson While
on the stand gave her name as Ida
Dutson and stated that she was I'M
married. After testifying. she remained
in the room and their hired man. John
Nelson. was called in to testify. He tes-
tilted that he had been in the employ of
the Dutsons for ten years and upon
being asked il he was married replied
that he was married to Ida Dutson and
that she was his wife. Ida Dutson
promptly spoke up and denied that
they were married.. How these two
people will reconcile their contradictory
evidence on the question Of their mar
riage when they return to the Dutson
domicile can only be conjectured. But
such a condition Of affairs is some
thing new in this vicinity.

exactly the same elements for the d.
Eestion Of food as the natural juices Of
the stomach. The stomach, therefore, is
not called upon to do any Of the work
except to churn the juices furnished
by the tablet and then push the digest
ed food along into the intestines where
At will be still further digested and the
strength taken up by the blood to be
carried to the muscles and nerves Of
the body.
So by taking a Stuart's Dyspepsia

Des Nfoines. March 3.-The fate Of

comes during the present month and
the governor must act one way or the
other on the boards recommendation.
Those who have persistently opposed
the liberation Of the Rainsbarger boys
have filed their written protests with
the governor. Among these is w. V.
Wilcox Of Des Moines. who was sher-
iff Of Hardin county when the Rains
bargers were convicted and sentenced.
There was no question but that the
Rainsbargers had been in lots of
trouble in their county. but they We're
convicted of this crime upon purely
circumstantial evidence and have
stoutly maintained their innocence.

ceration neither has had single de-

made a careful study Of the case be-
lieve that the father-in-law was not

Mr. Miller remained in Des Moines
several days after the vacation ad-

conditions surrounding the sale of
breadstuff. He has discovered that
Iowa has no official "barrel of -four"
and has received reports that because
of this fact they are being sold under
weight. He may introduce bill fixing
an official weight for a barrel of -four
as he deems this as important as hav-
ing the present official weight for a
hens egg. He may also offer bill fix
ing a standard loaf of bread.
