OWNER OF HORSE RETURNS.

Man Who Left Horse at Stable Ten
Days Ago Comes to Claim Animal.
The mystery surrounding the own
ership of the horse which had been
left at the Lippert stable more than
ten days ago was solved on Monday
night when the man who had left the
horse called at the stable and claimed
the animal. He stated that his name
was Rottman, but did not give his
residence. He declared that he had
been called to Milwaukee on account
of the illness of his children and that
his time had been so taken up that it
had been impossible for him to COM
municate with the owner of the barn
or direct any disposal of the horse.
Rottman drove away without giving
any more facts in regard to his
identity.

START LEGAL FIGHT
Iowa Woodmen Bring Ac.
ton in the United States
Court Against Rates.
PLAN FOR LONG LITIGATION

That the insurgent Modern Wood
men are strongly organized to oppose
the enforcement of the new high rates
by the head camp, is indicated by the
has been started in Iowa, from Des
MONIES exchanges:
'fBy one of the cleverest coups in
the records of legal procedure the law
committee of the insurgent Woodmen
have fortyeight separate chances of
trial against the national officers.
sGFhe committee established a prece-
dent when it filed its injunction suit
several days ago in the district court
instead of the federal court, as was
expected. The injunction would re.
strain the national officers from col
Letting 400 per cent increase in as
sessments in Iowa. There was some
surprise that the insurgents were com
fning their attack to the Iowa zone.
Today the coup dawned on several
inquirers. Attorney Charles w. Lyon
chairman of the insurgent law com
mitted, admitted that the litigation
had been set in the district court for
a specific purpose. 1t became appar-
ent then to all concerned that if the
suit failed here it could still be prose
cuted in one after another of the re-
naming fortyseven states.
81 In addition to the great scope of
opportunity to try their case, the in
surgents effectively will tie the hands
of the national officers with the indi-
vidual case of Iowa. The officers can
not expediently collect the newly es-
tablished high assessment, over which
the insurgents are warning in other
states and not do so in Iowa. The
! Woodmen throughout the country
would certainly rise against the dis
elimination and the national accounts
would most assuredly be sadly tangled.
THUS the Insurgents intend to win
| if they have to try suits continuously
for years, until every state in the
union has had its judicial try at the
affair. The insurgents believe, how
ever, that their contention will be up
held either in Iowa, Illinois, Missouri,
or New York, the most powerful in
surance commemorative, and the eff
feet of one affirmation would be to
rout the association.
