HUNTER TURNS
BREWER LOOSE
COURT TAKES CASE OUT OF
JURY,s HANDS LAST EVENING
AND DlsMfssEs CHARGE.

Taking the case in his own hands
last evening about o'clock, Judge F.
M. Hunter dismissed the case against
Noah Brewer, and the defendant was
declared free man in SO far as guilt
of assault Is concerned. The action
came as a surprise and brought to an
end case that would have taken per-
haps another day to finish.
Brewer was charged with having
shot Charles Taylor colored man, in
fight that took place on South Union
street the day following Christmas.
The evidence tended to show that the
quarrel begun in the Westlund saloon
and the fight took place outside. There
was no question as to who did the
shooting, and the bound up hand Of
Taylor, who was brought to the court
house in a carriage because of his
weak condition, showed that he had
been hurt. The defense claimed that
the colored man had a knife in the
fight, but the state denied this. Finally
when the testimony was all in, about 6
o'clock, the court decided that the jury
would not be justified in finding the
defendant guilty and dismissed the
case on it's merits. Brewer was given
his release.
A petition was filed this morning by
John w. Renfrew for the quieting Of
title. The case is titled John w. Rem.

cover my portmanteau containing a
secret pocket where have hidden the
documents indispensable to recover the
said sum. AS reward I will give up
% you the third part viz: 100000. I

KEARNS FACES
Crave CHARGE
ATTEMPT ON THE LIFE OF MAY
SHIRLEY BY USE OF cARBOLIC
ACID is CHARGE.

After the state and defense counse
had exercised their full number Of
challenges and considerably time was
consumed, jury was finally secured
this morning in the case of State VS.
Joe Kearns, the charge being assault
with intent to take the life of May
Shirley. 1t is alleged in the indictment
returned by the grand jury that Kearns
attempted the life of Miss Shirley by
the use of bottle Of carbolic acid.
The empanel was completed by II
o'clock and the court took recess for
short time. Before the recess the
court excused the jurors not engaged
in the case until Monday at 10 a. M
on condition they so state to the clerk
Of court. The case promises to develop
fight, as the defendant has gathered
about him two additional lawyers to
assist his counsel in making a defense.
The case is an echo of the much tried
piano suit in the justice courts, where
the defendant and his brother were
allied against members of the Shirley
family in the effort to get possession
of piano that Kearns was alleged to
have given Miss May Shirley, but
later sold to his brother, George
Kearns. The Shirleys lost the final
round in the justice court and the next
chapter Of the story opened with an
indictment against Kearns by the
grand jury.
If the case shows tendency to go
beyond tomorrow afternoon before
reaching the jury, the court will this
evening excuse the remainder of the
jury until Monday and devote tomor-
row tol motions and a habeas corpus
case that awaits hearing. The appeal
Of the contestants to the petition for |
to sell liquors, may come up |
tomorrow. The court stated this after |
noon If both sides to the case are sat
sfied to take the matter upon motion
tomorrow, he will be willing to hear it.
The prospect of finishing the state
docket this week has gone a glimmer
ng and it will carry over until next !,
week. Three more cases remain on the
calendar after the completion of the
learns case.

MAGNATES OF JUSTICES CIRCUIT
MAKE HAY WHILE THE
SNOW FLIES.
LYNCH is ENTHUSIASTIC
President Of the Local Association
Says That League Will Be the
One Best Bet During the
Coming Season.

!, It is no dreary tale of strife tha'
comes from the lips of President Frani
! T. Lynch of the Ottumwa club wher
talking about the hay making OF the
Central association magnates in keo
jkuk yesterday. Boss Frank had only
one argument and that finally resulted
in the upholding Of his view, ana OF
course he is not at all displeased Win
the mid-winter session yesterday.
| President Lynch stated emphatlcally
this morning that tho magnates OF the
| Central association this year are go
| ing to make the season the best in the
! history Of any minor league organlza'
| ton. The acquisition OF Muscatlne,
with a guarantee of $4,000 attendance
or the forfeit of 500 simoleons, to-
gether with the division among the
seven old clubs of the bundle of coin
reaped by the sale of Quincy, seems TO
make Lynch effervesce high hopes
of a great season. The local boss is
also happy over the fact that the sea-
son will be of 131 games in 126 days,
and that the distribution Of the holt
day receipts will be materially in
creased by the fact that the grand
stand money is also to be divided.
Lynch Favored Quincy.
When Harry Hofer asked the as
ISOLATION to let Quincy share in the
fines assessed Galesburg and Mon
mouth for failure to come up to the re-
quired attendance, a storm of frowns
overwhelmed the .cheerfulness of
Lynch, and battle of words was i'm
mediately set in motion. Realizing
that the league would be sued for dam
ages by Quincy, Mr.. Lynch maintained
that the Gem city was member of
the league when the fines were as
sessed and was therefore entitled to
its share Lynch made his plea so
strong that the magnates acted favor
ably upon his motion that Quincy share
with the other clubs in the fines.
Then came the motion to divide the
81, 500 received from Quincy, and the
old time smile came back to Lynch.
All the clubs except the infant, Musca-
tine, will share alike in the division of
Quincy's pay streak, and the money
will apply on the guarantee of each.
The matter Of increasing the guaran-
tee for games from $35 to $50 was de-
ferred. Manager E. F. Egan favored
this item, but the motion was lost.
Owner Hayden Of Burlington and
Manager Belt of Keokuk submitted
schedules, and the magnates decided
to accept a chart providing for 131
games in 1926 days, and the season to |
open May 8. February 1 is the latest ,
late that schedules will be received,
and mail vote will be taken on
them.
Egan and Burlington.
The ownership Of the Burlington
franchise was taken out of the hands
If Manager E. F. Egan by the league !
yesterday and the Ottumwa boss is up |
against it for the sale of his grand
stands, bleachers, etc. in the Burling-
on park The boosters of ball in Bur-
ington offered him $400 for his hold
ngs but he wants an additional 81 900,
claiming that the franchise cost him
Il, 400 and he must get that amount out

GOOD TREATMENT FOR SHEEP
Floor Of Barn Should Be Kept Per-
fectIy Dry-Whenever Ticks Arc
Found Dip Animals.

tBy WILLIAM A. CURTISS)
When you see d sheep going down
on its knees frequently you may be
pretty sure that It's hoofs are affected
and need prompt attention.
II the dirt floor OF the sheep barn
cannot be kept perfectly dry a plank
floor with plenty Of stray is neces-
sary.
A hundred feet Of drain tile laid un-
der the floor OF the sheep pen will
keep II perfectly dry all the time.
Whenever ticks are found the
sheep must be dipped at once. There
are number OF excellent dips on
the market which can be obtained In
every town.
II sheep become lacerated on wire
fence or other objects watch the
wounds carefully and II maggots ap-
pear wash the wounds with a weak
solution OF carbolic acid and water
II the wounds are deep and difficult
TO reach inject the solution with q
small glass syringe
Remember that one treatment Of
wounds or OF any disease Will never
cure. Look after the wounded OIL
sick animals every day until the,
are entirely well.
