GOOD PROGRESS
IN SPERRY CASE
THE DEFENSE is MAKING QUICK
WORK OF MANY WITNESSES
six WITNESSES TOOK THE
STAND ON BEHALF OF DEFEND
ANT-TRYING TO PROVE ALIBI.

The case against Clyde Sperry who
is on trial in the district court here
on a charge of mansIaughter in the
first degree, is progressing rapidly.
The defense called six witnesses to
the stand this morning and from pres
ent indications the case will be given
to the jury by Saturday. The witnesses
called by the defendant this morning
were: Julia Walhood, Gerbart Nelson,
Mrs. H. M. Burdick, Claude Barney,
Mabel Miller and Grace Burdick. The
last named witness is a school girl of
tender years and testified to the effect
that she saw Clyde Sperry in the OPP
erahouse the night Kenneth was
burned.
Practically the whole effort of the
defense is centered on the attempt to
prove an alibi.

Although the detectives were sent
here by the relatives Of Grace for the
purpose of investigating Mrs. Grace,
they are spending a great deal OF time
in delving into the record Of the hus-
band.
They discovered that Mrs. Grace
carried a revolver while here, and
often declared she would kill her hus-
band if she found him too fond of an4
other woman
The detectives refuse to explain the
minuteness with which they are
deavoring to get the history Of the un-
set diamonds owned by Mrs. Grace.
Originally there were thirty eight OF
these, ranging from one-half to three
karats and the detectives have discov-
cred that the first husband of Mrs.
Grace purchased these diamonds for
$500 each.

matter of ordering certain pavements
last year and as a consequence Judge
Grindeland has sustained the appeal
from the paving assessment on South

Winter Wheat.

Chicago, March 21.-Our reports
showing low figures Oh condition for
wheat in Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio,
Indiana n Illinois and indicate ex-
cess winter killing. Except in the ex-
treme southern part Of this district
the ground is still frozen and snow and
ice cover a large part Of the fields
n there has been no growing wealth
er anywhere. Our advices show en-
phatically that the general impression
among farmers is hat wheat east Of
the Missouri river is badly hurt. but
the impression grows out Of the char
acter of the winter. Ordinarily at this
date there has been sufficient grow
ing weather to give a line on the
strength Of plant and root, but this
year there has been no chance yet for
definite knowledge. The farm opin-
ion is that the situation is bad but it
must be taken for what is it, simply
an opinion based on weather exper-
lence' Bartlett Frazier Co.

Authors and Their Books.

At the dinner given by the Harper

he sailed for England a dinner which
was attended by many of the literary
lights that live in or near New York,
d discussion. came up as to whether
in this day Of the rapid output of lit
erature man could live by his books.
Mr.. Bennett said he was sure that
many authors could, and he instanced
the case of a young author he knew
in London who was so hard up that
he could not get enough cash to pay
for his dinner.
An idea struck him. He visited his
publishers and there asked for six
copies of his latest novel, which was
priced at five shillings, ordering that
the books be charged to his account
This was done. With the volumes
under his arm he visited second
hand book dealer in the neighbor-
hood, and, as the books were perfect
ly new, he managed to sell the six
of them for ten shillings, with which
sum he had a rafting good dinner
and an evening at the theater.
ooh, yes,' said Mr.. Bennett, "even
the humblest author can live by his
books-if he has published any
books"

Sugar has had its champions as well

stimulation that is without perceptible

went an operation for appendicitis, and
| III was thought that she WAS getting along
| nicely, but little later complications
| set in and two operations were necessary.
! Until about two weeks ago the patient
had been getting along nicely, was up
| and about, and high hopes for her com
| plete recovery were entertained by her
! relatives and friends. On Monday, April
H. she became rapidly worse and was
taken to the hospital at Iowa City, where
she underwent another operation, but it
was OF no avail, and she became weaker
and on Saturday last passed away.
Lutte Clara was au exceptionally

| who knew her, and her death has cast a
| deep gloom over the community in which
| she lived. All that the best Of medical
aid anc loving hands could do to save
her life, was resorted to but the young
| life could not be saved. She had always
| been Christian, and on May Is, 1909, she
| united with the NJ. f. Church at Mt
Auburn, of which SHE was faithful
