Grundy Center, Feb 1s.-The Jury In
the embezzlement case Of E. A. Boggs.
the Waterloo monument dealer who
secured large loans from the bank at
Morrison, returned a verdict Of guilty
on the charge of endorsement grow
ing out of the Nelson note. The jury
therefore holds that this note was
placed with the bank as collateral and
in collecting the money thereon Boggs
was not acting as agent for the bank.
The case was given to the jury Tues
day evening at $3.50. AT 9 o'clock its
findings had been determined upon. The
court fixed Feb. % as the date Of sen.
tence and to hear arguments on mo-
ton for a new trial.
Strong Pleas by Attorneys.
Attorney Murtag, of Waterloo, spent
most Of the forenoon yesterday arguing
the case for the defense and as Mr..
Murtag is quite an orator he enter
tanned the audience with his flights Of
oratory and his appeal to the sympathy
of the jury on behalf Of the defendant
and his wife and son who sat by his
side. He made a very strong appeal
along these lines. He was followed by
Charles E. Wheeler, Of Cedar
Rapids. Mr.. Wheeler made an extra
ordinary plea and asked the jury to
return verdict Of not suilty on be-
half not only Of the defendant but his
wife and son. He made one of the
most telling arguments ever made to q
Jury In the county,
The case was closed by the argument
Of Attorney Lovejoy. Of Waterloo. 1t
is recognized that Mr.. Lovejoy's was
the most analytical argument Of the
case that was made. He stuck strictly
to the evidence in the case. The judges
instructions were clear and quite
lengthy.
Arrested on New Charges.
AS soon as the jury had been sent
out with the above case the defendant,
Boggs, was arrested and brought into
court to answer to two new indictments
which the grand jury Of the present
term brought against him, one charging
him with larceny by embezzlement and
the other with passing forged note to
the bank at Morrison. His bond in
each case was fixed at 1000 and he
was given ten days to furnish bonds.
He waived arraignment and pleaded
not guilty. These cases can not be
tried at this term of court.

Des Moines. Feb. 1S.-F'our pertinent
addresses made up the bulk of yester-
day afternoons session Of the Corn
Belt Meat Producers Association.
They were Beef Making In Iowa." by
Prof. A. A. Evvard Of the agricultural
college; "Some Profitable Ways OF
Producing Beef" by Rex Beresford:
Control Of Hog Cholera by DR.. ]. l.
Gibson, state veterlna rian. and weigh
ing at the Market" by James f. Down
ing Of the United States department
of agriculture.
The Importance Of silage as feed for
cattle was the chief point OF emphasis
in Professor Evvard's speech. He
pointed out that the thing OF interest
to the meat producers OF Iowa Is how
they are to produce at the greatest
possible profit. Food materials can be
produced in this state just AS cheaply
or even more cheaply than in any other
state in the union, he declared, AMI
that fact gives lowans tremendous
advantage. A large part OF the address
was devoted to showing in detailed
way by charts and specific examples
how the use of silage means a large
saving to the beef producer. Similar
demonstration of the value OF cotton
meal and linseed meal was made.
Rex Bcresford. the beef expert OF the
state. discussed the two methods by
which beef can be produced most pro-
fitably in this state. These he de-
scribed as the production OF straight
baby beef by feeding the calves from
the cows and fattening them at once or
giving the calves the skinned milk
and rough feed treatment at first. then
feeding latei' to prepare them for the
market at about twenty-four months
of age.
DR.. Gibson's address upon cholera
and its treatment was followed closely
by the meat producers and was fol-
lowed by considerable discussion. The
state has lost approximately $12,o0O.OO0
within a year frob hog cholera. ac-
cording to DIR. Gibson.
The speaker explained to the men,
bers the use of the hog serum and
virus in preventing cholera. the process
OF its preparation and Its efficacy. He
said that to prevent the contagious
spreading the railroads should be COM
PEELED to thoroughly clean and disinfect
cars after making a haul and infected
herds should be placed under quaran-
tine and no one permitted to minglo
among them. a veterinarian In one
community who has gone about during
the last fall from one herd Of swine
to another without changing his

has served at least a million dollars

Gibson. The strictest sanitary meas
ures in handling the disease and In
cleaning up after ii were advised &c
absolutely necessary to prevent the
spread of cholera
The old system Of weighing stock
while yet in the cars was condemned
by James E. Downing. the government
expert. He explained in detail the
system as it operates at Chicago and
pointed out the superiority Of other
weighing systems which have been In
troduced in South Omaha. Sioux City.
