At this point Luce made a forty yard run carrying the ball to the center of the field thereupon Bridgeport's delegation was ready to start a riot for the reason that Bridgeport had the ball on Hart ford'ss yard line on the 3rd down. but it was given to Hartford because Boardman, the Hnesnan. said the ball was Hartford's on the 4th down. Boardman is a Bridgeporter.
 Then Foster and Bill, by series of gains, carried the ball to Hartford s 25-yard line, but it was lost on downs. Hartford brought the ball back to

LAST WEEK OF
SEPTEMBER TERN
Case of State VS. Pierce Proves Very
Saiacious, and One Which Just-
fled Exclusion Of Public.
wlEsE PLEADS GUILTY OF CRIME
The Court Will Remain in Session
Today and Tomorrow to Try
Cases That May Come Up

This week closes the last week OF
the September term of the district
court which convened on the seventh
day of September. The work accom-
plished at this term is perhaps less
than at any term for long time. Thls
fact is accounted for by reason OF one
week of the term having been taken
up in the trial OF the Marshal! case.
Another thing to be considered is
that there were large number OF
criminal cases, enough, il all had been
tried. to consume the entire time OF
the term. The supposition was that
they would be tried and that the civil
business would go over the term.
The attorneys interested in the trial
OF civil cases were reluctant to come
TO an understanding that there was
little probability of any civil busi-
ness being tried. but arrangements
were made by which it was practical
.ly understood that the civil business
would have to be postponed. AS 1t
turned out, however. few OF the Grim
inal cases were tried, which leaves
a portion of this week which might
be devoted to civil cases provided at
torneys can arrange for them.
The criminal case first put on trial
was that OF the State OF Iowa VS.
Pierce. in which the defendant was
charged with adultery. This proved
to be very salacious case and one
which would have justified the eX-
clusion of the public from hearing.
Apparently human nature seemed to
have broken down SO far as this case
is concerned, Judging from the exhi-
bition of depravity in one Or more re-
spects. Those who heard the trial
We're impressed with the fact that an
oath administered to a witness does
not always insure the truth being
spoken. Before the case had conclud-
ed, at least one party had been taken
into custody on the charge OF perjury
1t is TO be regretted that the interest
of people in lawsuits will prompt eX-
hibitions OF 50 much daaelieracy as
when witnesses in the trial of eases.
and especially those OF q domestic
character, will commit Willful perjury
The verdict OF the jury was in favor
OF the defendant, which occasioned
no surprise in view OF the fact OF the
confusion of the testimony when it
had all been introduced. We are not
to be understood as contending that
The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1915-09-22

the defendant was innocent or that the
verdict OF the jury was right, but 4
jury inexperienced in weighing testi-
nony should not be blamed if it does
the best it can do and we have no
doubt but what it did so in this case.
Another criminal case tried was
that of the State Of Iowa VS. MCGEE, a
sanity appearing veteran charged
with the crime of rape upon young
girl down in the neighborhood of Vail.
This defendant was willing to have
the jury acquit him on the ground Of
alleged insanity, which was suggest
ed, but not proven by the evidence. 1t
was fortunate for this party that the
of the young lady were un-
able to locate him promptly after the
commission of the crime. 1t might
have been that his fate would have
been worse than as the result OF the
trial, wherein the jury found him
guilty, and he was sentenced to the
In the State VS. Wiese plea of
guilty was entered by the defendant.
as was true in the case of several 9TH
er of the defendants who were indict-
ed. The court will remain in session
today and tomorrow in order to try
anything that can be found for trial.

SEED HOUSE FOR DENlsoN
Messrs. Jacob Weiss and e. c. Baum
Plan to Launch New Enterprise
Building Being Constructed.

Messrs. Jacob Weiss and Ed Baum
have entered into a partnership and
will conduct seed house in Denison.
They are constructing a seed house
lust north of the Nicholson produce
plant, where they will have a capacity
for handling 1000 bushels of seed
corn.
The building is being constructed
along lines especially adapted to seed
corn. The foundation is concrete and
the building is being built OF lumber,
the dimensions being 32X4O feet, and
IS feet high. The interior will be
partitioned off and wire frames built
especially for drying the corn on the
cob will be installed.
1t is the plan of Mr.. Weiss and Mr..
Baum to sell seed corn to farmers in
Crawford county, They have already
contracted for several hundred bush
els of corn from farmers in the vicin-
ity OF Denison. Only the very best
corn raised will be used for seed pur-
poses as they have made arrangements
to select this corn as it is picked from
the field. The corn will be taken to
the seed house. where it will be placed
in racks and thoroughly dried Each
ear will be tested and all those which
do not show strong germiuation will
be cast aside.
A seed corn establishment is some
thing that Crawford county has long
been in need of and we believe that
it will prove a paying investment to
the two Denison men who have gone
into the business. Heretofore it has
been necessary for farmers desiring
extra good seed corn to send out Of
the county for it and in many in
stances corn has been purchased at
an eXorbitant price.
Harry Berger, formerly clerk in the
r. knaul drug store, now residing in
Charter Oak. was visitor in Denison
yesterday. Mr.. Berger has been car
rying the mail on one of the routes
out of Charter Oak. using a Ford ma
chine. In speaking OF the change OF
the rural carriers out of Denison. he
stated that he did not believe that
the seven routes out Of Denison could
be handled successfully by three car
riers with autos. During the winter
months when the roads are bad it is
almost impossible to cover route in
a car" said Mr. Berger. During the
past summerI have served the patrons
on route out OF Charter Oak at
loss, and [ do not see how the post
office department can expect toi,serve
the patrons on seven routes out of
Denison with three carriers in ma
chimes over roads that are next to i'm
possible for even team and buggy
during the winter months

EXPERT INSTRUCTOR HERE
Crawford County Telephone Company

erators--Here Three Weeks

Miss Anne Barnes, of Springfield,
Ill.,, who is state travelling Instructor
for the Independent Telephone Asso-
citation of Iowa. will be with the Craw-
ford County Telephone company for
the next three weeks.
The telephone company will move
into their new building the first of
next week, and the instructor is here
for the purpose OF training the oper-
ators the standard methods OF hand
ling local and long distance service;
also to train the operators how to op-
crate on the new up-to-date board,
which Miss Barnes says is the finest
she has seen since coming to Iowa.
The company is sparing no expense
to give to its patrons efficient service.
The instructor says most operators
speak Incorrectly over the telephone.
She is now training them to speak
low, and very distinct.
The word Hello" has been elm
mated from the operators vocabulary
and has been substituted by the phrase
Number Please"
With the passing Of the word
Hello" from the Denison exchange
it would be we'll to suggest that the
patrons, when answering call, would
say This is -------" instead of Hello"
Patrons of all large cities have adopt
ed this plan.a B.f:s4
