Factor.

A formal motion for new trial in
the case of C. J. Bode, administrator
OF the estate Of A. ]. Noyes, against
the Hydraulic Engineering company,
was flied in the federal court this
morning. The case Was tried at the
October term of the court here and
resulted IN q verdict for the engineer
ing company.
Attorneys for the plaintiff are bring
ing the motion 70. a new trial on the
ground that Judge Mcpherson erred
IN his instructions On the point OF

pany is operating railroad under
the Iowa law.
In his instructions Judge Mcpherson
held that the company was not oper-
ating railroad. The plaintiff OBJ
jected to this instruction and claim
ed that defendant was operating a
road. Judge Mcpherson admitted
that this was good contention and
that he would look the matter ND and
rule on It.
II Judge Mcpherson. on investiga-
ton. finds that he Is wrong and that
ccntributory negligence cannot be
made part OF the defense, the order
for new trial win issue On the

Board Of Supervisors Will Not Take
Definite Action In the Mat
ter Tuesday az
Planned.
ONLY ONE WAY IS OPEN
1 asxssess.s-rse
Property Holder May Declare Ionor-
ance OF use to Which His
Building 10 Being
put.

The board Of supervisors of Lee
county, probably will not take up the
hearing of the appeals Of property own
ers against the assessment of the
quarterly mulct tax on their property
in which alleged illegal liquor trafiic
is said to have been conducted. Owing
to the fact that County Attorney Nc.
Manus is engaged in the trial Of the
Hohl case at Fort Madison, the super
visors expect to continue the appeal
until the county attorney can meet
with them.
Under the law as explained by Sena-
tor D. A. Young, county supervisor
this morning. the possession Of gov.
eminent license is prime facie evi-
dence that illegal traffic In liquor Is
conducted. Under this evidence the
mulct tax of $3.50 per quarter may be
assessed against the property where
these alleged bootleggers have been In
business.
The only chance that the property
owners can have, it is believed, Is to
appeal on the ground that hey knew
nothing of the use to which the proper
ty is being put.
Tuesday, at Fort Madison, was the
time set for the hearing of appeals
from Keokuk property holders who
are said to be liable because their
property was used by some of the al
legged bootleggers who have been more
or less in court Of late. The board will
not hear these appeals at this time,
however, according to present plans.
AS this is a first offense, it is de-
clared by some OF the board that pos
sibly the tax may be RENTED. There
will be no appeal from second of
Tense however.
II the board should assess the tax
the property owner still has the right
to appeal.
