suit for damages alleged to have been

which was held in Keokuk several
terms ago, it is understood.
In the district court at Fort Madi-
son Friday, Judge w. S. Hamilton
heard arguments in a couple of Keo-
kuk cases, the testimony OF which

mechanics lien on newly built Keo-
kuk houses, for accounts for lumber
used in the construction. In the first
case the bill is in the neighborhood
Of $40O. 90, the defendant retaining the
sum which he offers to pay to whom
soever the court directs. The second
defendant is less fortunate as he
made his payment to the contractor
and is now forced to resist action on
the account by the lumber company.
his bill being nearly $1,000. Theodore
Craig represents the plaintiff and E..
w. McManus and Ralph Smith are the
attorneys for the defendants. The

defendants.
A motion for continuance In the
Laumann will contest case has bean

ness of one Of the parties concerned
in the suit.

But Ton conspirators Who Sent
Them Said They Had to do
Something to Get
Even.
LOST OUT ON CHARIvARI
Went to Fort Madison to Meet Them
But Were Outwitted-ciaIm
Laugh 10 Theirs
Now.

An express wagon, loaded to the
gunwales with ponderous boxes and
barrels filled with goods carefully
packed. stopped yesterday afternoon
in front of the residence of Mr.. and
Mrs. Irwin Griffey, Fourteenth and
High streets, and the driver and his
helper proceeded at once to the bust
ness of unloading the wagon.
It was only month and half ago
that Mr.. and Mrs. Griffey were mar.
ried. After the evening ceremony was
performed they had been driven In an
automobile to Hamilton, going from
there the next day to Chicago. Eight
or ten OF Mr.. Griffey's friends, believ-
ing the two had gone to Fit. Madison
instead Of to Hamilton. had chartered
two automobiles and headed for the
Gem City. The mud in the roads was
hub deep. Three tires blew out, Reach
ing Fl. Madison they found they had
been fooled They turned back for
Keokuk and passed Rand Park just
as the sun was coming over the hor.
izen
Their chagrin was deep. The receipt
Of postal cards from Mr.. and Mrs
Griffey, written from Chicago and tell
ing them they were great detectives,
didn't make them feel much better.
They assembled in war council
CRASHED their teeth. and swore re-
vsnge. Yesterday the whole ten OF
them laughed. It was the first time
in six weeks.
And here's why they laughed. When
Mr.. Griffey went home yesterday
evening he found his wife highly ex.
cited. Some friend who, no doubt, had
been late In learning of their mar,
riage, had made up for his hardness
| by being most lavish in his gifts
There were twenty-seyen large boxes
and seven big barrels of goods from
the Marshall-Field stores of Chicago

home before opening any of them.
So they opened them, the largest
barrel first They took out layer
after layer OF excelsior and paper. II
must be something valuable, judging
from the way it was packed ~ some
thing that would break easily. More
layers of excelsior and paper were
| taken out. They both were growing
nervously excited when Mr.. Griffey's
hand struck something solid. He took
| firm hold und pulled. Out came coal
bucket, price ten cents. Other packing
cases disclosed five cent pans.
| The conspirators claim they have q
right to a grin or two now.
