Nevada, April 1.-THE erection OF a
handsome new church home for the
Salem congregation at Roland Is now
an assured thing. A year ago at a
congregational meeting 1t WAS decided
that a new building should be provided
and it was then decided to expend not
to exceed $4,000 for the erection OF
the same.
A committee, consisting OF NJ. n,
Grove, o. r. Thompson, Harry Evenson.
T. Sorem and knudt Hill, was ap-
pointed to raise the funds by sub
scription. At meeting in February
this committee reported the funds all
raised and an architect ordered to
draw tentative plans. The plans for
one building to cost $4,000 and an
other at an estimated cost of $4,000
were submitted and the congregation
decided that the latter was the one
most suited to their needs and the COM
mittee was instructed to continue their
solicitation for the purpose Of raising
the additional $4,000. AS this has been
practically all raised the congregation
has decided to go on with the building
and committee consisting Of O. NJ
Anenson, J. H. Larson, o. T. Thomp-
son, NJ y. Grove and John Evensor
We're instructed to have the building
plans prepared and let the contract fol
the building, which Is to be erected or
the lot north Of the old building and
have frontage both on the north ant
the west. 1t is expected that work
will start early in May.

VETERAN ATTORNEYS LAST CASE
judge Cook Expects to Retire When
Railroad Action IL Settled.


Des Moines, April 11.-Judge J. c.
Cook, the veteran attorney for the Mil
waukee railroad, once more argued TO
the supreme court the famous case in
volving mile of railroad in Des
Moines. The case has Seen pending q
number of years. On the previous
submission Of the case nearly two
years ago, Judge Cook was confronted
by n. T. Guernsey, the lawyer who
went to New York on a $4,000 salary
from the telephone people. But Cook
won his case and the decree was that
the Milwaukee railroad company
owns the mile Of track which for
many years had been in possession OF
the Des Moines Union. This time Par
rish and Parker made the argument for
the Hubbells in an effort to induce
the court to reverse itself.
Judge Cook very likely will never
argue another case in the supreme
court. He long ago said that when he
had finished this case he would retire,
and his health has been so poor that
it was with difficulty he has remained
with the case to the present time.

Evidence to Begin Monday.
With the jury completed today the
introduction of evidence is expected tC
begin Monday. A new feature of the
chain of evidence to be presented by
the state was revealed today when II
was learned that City Superintendent
Of Schools Hunt Of Forest City, prob
ably would be called to testify. Mrs
Brazzell told the coroner's jury she
had been called Ito Forest City by the
illness Of her daughter by former
marriage. Miss Minnie Cushman, a
teacher in the Forest City schools. The
evidence it is proposed to secure from
Mr.. Hunt Is that Mrs Brazzell came to
the school and abruptly insisted on
being shown to Miss Cushman's room
That the daughter was not expecting
her and that she was surprised and ev-
identity annoyed by her appearance, are
expected to be confirmed by the su-
perintendent Miss Cushman was no;
and had not been i'll.
Theory 81 the State.
The states contention is that the
Staying of Brazzell was done on the
Monday evening previous to the Sat
urday when the body was discovered
and by or with the knowledge of the
woman, that she. in her excited condi-
ton. turned from the scene Of the
crime and fastened to her nearest rel
alive, which happened to be her daugh-
ter. Miss Cushman., at Forest City
There she remained, acting strangely
nervous and restless. until she came
back to Dubuque. where thru her own
agency the murder was discovered The
woman's highly nervous condition will
be substantiated bys witnesses from
Forest City. ~
As to the motive for the killing the
state believes it can prove anger based
on jealousy and repeated threats
