Alleged Conspirator is Freed by a
Jury.

Davenport, May 25.-With Clay
ton Rowland being found not guilty
on the first ballot yesterday, follow
ing the disagreement of the jury in
the Oliver c. Wilson case, the state,
is said to be somewhat discouraged
in trying to convict the alleged con-
spirators in the Muscatine labor
cases and it is probable that there
will be no more trials. 1t took Row
lands jury but a short time to ar
rive at conclusion. The members
received the case shortly after
o'clock, discussed it for while then
took a ballot and came back with
the verdict of not guilty at 5
o'clock. Conflicting statements of
many of the important witnesses of
the state is thought to have been
for the verdict.
The Oliver G. Wilson case is the
only one which remains on the
docket here, the charge against En-
NETT Flood of Chicago, national or
ganizer for the American Federation
Labor having been dismissed.

Lacona, May 25.-Dr. w. D. W.
Stumbaugh, well known physician
here, was brutally assaulted and
robbed yesterday morning at about
s o'clock while driving to visit pa
tient near Oakley, seven miles south.
A stab wound over the heart, sever
al minor bruises and cuts were re-
ceiyed by the doctor. who was
brought to his home here several
hours afterwards in very serious
condition. 1t is doubtful If he will
recover.
After driving for several miles,
the doctor got out of his buggy. A
few minutes later he was accosted
by a dark, heavy set man, who at
tackled him with knife and sand
bag. After stabbing him over the
heart, the robber slashed his coat
in four or five places and struck him
a fierce blow with the sandbag on
the back of his head. After taking
SIS from his pockets, he carried the
body of the unconscious man about
one hundred yards and threw him
into creek, leaving him for dead.
The water soon revived the doctor
and he crawled back to his buggy
and drove half mile where Mr..
Robertson put him In an auto and
took him home. DR.. Stumbaugh was
most of the day and his
chances for recovery are said to be
slight. The sheriffs at Charlton and

Budapest, May 25.-Fierce fight,
ing has broken out again in the
i streets of this city today between
the strikers and the police, who are
aided by a large force of troops.
A big mob of men idisobeyed theil
leaders orders to return to work
and began again the wrecking tao

The Infatuated men first overturn.
ed a number of street cars, and then
demolished some display windows OF
stores on the principal streets.
They then made a fierce attack of
Calvary church, afterwards proceed
ing to Neuschloss, where they set
fire to a factory, feeding the flames
with petroleum. The rioters beat
off the firemen.
Troops put in an appearance and
this was the signal for several vol
leys of revolver shots and stones, to
which the soldiers replied with vol
legs from their rifles. Rioters and
troops suffered heavily.
AT one factory a lively battle oc-
Cured between strikers and non
strikers. Revolvers were used free
" and many were wounded.
The socialists proclamation of
general strike as a protest against
the election of Count Tisza as pres
ident of the lower house had the
most serious sequel in the killing of
seven persons and wounding of
about $50 others, some of them Sc
werely.
Only about one-third of the work
ers obeyed the order to strike. To
the number of $4,000 they marched
through the city, attacking men at
work, and, being frustrated in at
tempts to hold demonstrations out
side the parliament buildings, re-
sorted to reckless violence, pillaging
and destroying property of all kinds.
The rioters stopped all traffic,
formed barricades of street cars and
demolished hundreds of gas lamps,
and came into constant collision
with the police and troops. The
fighting continued until a late hour.

.ST|NSON OF.
POSES FREE
WATER Grant
Against Davenport Dam Until Gov
eminent is Given
Power.
IS A NEW PRECEDENT.
Company May Not Desire to Build
Under These Re-
strictions.
A NEW PRECEDENT.

Washin gton, D. c., May 24.-The
proposed giant dam at Davenport,
intended to rival the Keokuk dam,
has struck a snag. Secretary of
War Stimson has written a letter to
Chairman Adams of the house inter-
state commerce committee in which
he opposes the bills pending in the
house authorizing the dam. His op-
position is based on the fact that
the bill provides for no return to
the government for the grant, and
also that the government is given
no power for future regulation of
rates for power charged by the
Great Northern Development COM
pany which wants to build the dam.
Secretary Stimon maintains, in view
of the nonpartisan conclusions to-
the National Waterways commits
sion, that the government should
get some pay or return for such
and should have power to
fix rates, and that the bill should
not be passed as it stands now. The
matter thus assumes much import
ance. If such requirements are
made in the bill it will set a pref
cedent that will mean a marked
change in government policy as to
future construction of dams and
grants of water power rights.
The existing general dam act makes
no such provision. F. A. Cokefair,
president of the company, will be
here shortly to consult the secretary
of war and members of congress
about the matter.
Representative Pepper believes it'll
will rest with the company to sayI
whether it will attempt to build the
dam under such condition. HeI
doubts, in view of the letter of the
secretary of war, whether it would
be possible to pass the bill through |
congress, especially with the strong
feeling in favor of conservation.
Some question is raised here wheth-
er the influences back of the Keo-
kuk dam are working against the
improvement at Daven-
port, inasmuch as the Davenport
dam would rival that Of Keokuk.

Davis was taken back to the pris-

self-defense and the testimony went
to sustain this.

Two American custom inspectors, J..

refugees were swimming to the

Sanchez and Louis Dellhay, Mexican
government secret service agents,
were captured by the rebels and are
reported to have been executed.
Sanchez had son, Maj. Louis
Sanchez, who commanded the feder-

days ago. 1t Is believed the elder
Sanchez was killed in revenge for
executions in Guadalupe.
The same forces of federals and
rebels which evacuated Guadalupe

After long range battle the rebels
retired. Maj. Louis Sanchez is re-
