Chesterfield Courthouse during the
seven hours Of yesterdays session, he
would not have known that man
was on trial for his life within the
little red brick building unless he
asked the cause OF the gathering of
men, women and children. There
was little in the courtyard scene which
did not resent bic country picnic or
some sort OF festive gathering.
In the long rows OF stalls just west
Of the courthouse We're perhaps two
hundred horses, mnnching feed with
harness dangling on their backs or
from hooks IN the nails OF tho stalls
Around the stalls were vehicles OF al
most every description, with lunch

JURY DISAGREED
IN TR0TTER CASE
Former Dsering Man Charged With
Embezzlement May Get Case Dis
missed-cost McHenry
County $500

/. K. Trotler, or four years mana
ger OF the Farmers elevator at Deer
ing, who was charged with embezzle-
on several counts, succeeded in
tying Up the jury, when his trial
came before Judge kneeshaw in dis
trict court at Towner last week. The
judge had directed verdict of not
guilty, but the jury thought the judge
was overstepping his rights in
telling them what they shuold
do. Instead 'of following his
II structions, six Of them concluded
that Trotter was guilty, while the
other half voted to find him not gull
ty. After considering for twenty-four
hours, the jury announced that it
was unable to agree. The trial has
cost McHenry county $1,5OO, and it
will cost as much more if the case
comes to trial again.
Trotter through his attorneys, A. M.
Christensen and C. W. Hookway put
up hard fight and won nearly every
point. The state secured the assist
aEce of E. R. Sinkler of this city.
During the four years that Trotter
had charge of the elevator, he was
never checked up but the once when
he was found to be short between
$aG0 and $1,000 He claimed an error
had been made. The elevator company
hired an expert by the name of Sulli-
van, paying him $25 day, who be-
sides was allowed a couple of assist
aIts. 1t is estimated that lit cost
them a good many hundred dollars
To have the books audited. Trotters
father, it is said, offered to pay $4,000
rather than have the case come to
trial, but the directors of the concern
would not listen to him.
Trotter had acted as agent for sew
eral years at Deering, and several
had ben dealing in options, one be-
ing W. W. Wedge. Several checks
were produced which showed that
Trotter had turned some large
sums of money over to Wedge, for
which there was apparently nothing
given in turn. Trotter explained that
he had been handling Wedges money,
and that Wedge had been winning,
hence the checks. An effort is being
made to have the case dismissed.

MORROW CASE SETTLED
Conclusion OF Long Divorce Case
Reached Yesterday Afternoon
Given Temporary Alimony.

The Morrow divorce case, which was
settled last December and re-opened
last week over the contention OF the
defendant over the non-payment OF
temporary alimony, has been con-
cluded. In a hearing yesterday after
noon before Judge Pollock, the plain
tiff, John Morrow, was refused petit
ton 10 be relieved Of the payment Of
temporary alimony to Mae Grace
Morrow, his wife.
The plaintiff, John Morrow, brought
suit for divorce from his wife last fall,
but this was refused. and the defend
ant was granted temporary alimony
during the time OF the continued sep
aration of both parties.
Mrs. Morrow contended this had not
been paid and last week brought suit
against her husband I'm the nature OF
contempt proceedings for failure TO
pay this alimony. Yesterday she was
granted sufficient back allmony to
cover that which had been due accord
ing to the order of the court last De-
cember, and future alimony.
M. A. Hildreth appeared for the
plaintiff and Pollock e. Pollock repre-
scented the defendant.

day when her mistress, preparing to

over her shoulder the reflection OF

to go along.

on the floor, after the oriental fash

.FRANCIS-PHELPS
CASE REOPENED
FURTHER ADDITIONS ENTERED
IN RECORD IN WELL KNOWN
SETTLEMENT CASE APPEALED
TO SUPREME COURT A YEAR
AGO.

The we'll known Francis Ferguson
VS.. Phelps case, which attracted con-
siderable attention IN court circles
more than year ago and which result
ed in judgment for about 1000 be-
ing awarded the plaintiff. has virtually
been reopened. Another hearing was
held In the case late yesterday after
noon and last evening until about s
o'clock, when the record, which has
since gone TO the supreme court, was
added TO extensively and certain cor
rections entered by counsel for the
plaintiff.
This well known case. in which Mrs.
Eliza A. Francis Ferguson is the plain
tiff, was brought against George II.
Phelps, one time law partner OF the
late Mr.. Francis, first husband Of Mrs.
Ferguson. 1t resulted from a contro-
versy over the settlement OF the estate
Of the late Mr.. Francis, with which the
defendant had some connection.
The case involved monetary con-
sideration which amounted to some
thing in the neighborhood OF 900 a
judgment for which amount Mrs. Fer
guson was given a year ago in the dis
trict court. At that time, however.
through his attorneys, Stambaugh &
Fowler, the defendant appealed the
case to the supreme court and II is yet
undecided.
The record has been returned for GER
tain corrections to be entered by the
plaintiff, and necessary additions made
also before final consideration Is given
by the higher tribunal. The hearing
yesterday was merely for this purpose.

The circumstance that seems to
prove more than anything else that
this dog possesses reasoning power
occurred one day when Ossie was out
in the street taking a scamper, while
her master and mistress sat within
at the open door. A high wind was
blowing ell the loose paper and other
light weight debris OF the street into
a merry dance; numerous bits of
wrapping paper, pieces of newspaper,
and even letters were fluttering around
her. but the dog did not pay the
slightest attention to any Of them,

upon a scrap OF paper, and came
running in with brand new ten

carried directly to her master. show
