FORT MADISON, Jan. 3.-Charg-
Ing that an atmosphere has been
created in Fort Madison, unfriendly
to the defendant, the Mississippi Riv-
er Power company through Attorney
George B. Stewart. Monday, fled mo-
lions for q change of venue In the
cases of H. F. Benbow, John Miller,
and william and Ada Graham against
the power company
In the afidavits in support Of the
claim made by G. w. Kellogg, manag-
err of the power company, quotations
are taken from an article In the Fort
Madison Democrat written following
the verdict for $4,000 secured last
year. 1t is charged in the afidavit
that 1t was common talk on the
streets OF Fort Madison that the plain
tits should receive a heavy verdict
for damages alleged.
The final paragraph OF the affidavit
made by Mr.. kellogg and fled in these
cases above referred to, follows:
"Affiant says that as result Of all
. these things and matters, the inhabit-
ants Of that portion of Lee county,
Iowa, hereinafter referred to are SO
prejudiced against the defendant that
It can not obtain justice or a fair
trial in the district court ofLee coun.
ty, Iowa, at Fort Madison; that it is
in the interests Of justice and of a
fair impartial trial that the venue Of
this case be changed to some coun-
ty where there will not be a large
body OF citizens interested in or who
have friends and relatives interested
In similar controversies"
1t is stated in Manager Kellogg's
affidavit that the construction Of the
dam backed up water for several
miles above the dam and overflnwed
several thousand acres. In which sew
eral hundred residents and citizens Of
Lee county were interested.
Are Bitterly Hostile.
Afiant further states that he has
been reliably Informed that many
such persons became bitterly hostile
to the defendant, held meetings and
made plans to employ counsel to con-
test right Of defendant to go on with
work. It is stated that the company
had dealings with 900 people in ac-
uuiring 1880 acres OF land for flow.
age purposes. It further alleges that
there are twentyseven bits Of property

said to be persons of Influence and
have numerous friends, relatives and
employees living In the part of the
county from which Jurors are
drawn, and that all of such per-
sons create an atmosphere unfriendly
to a~Maine corporation
Afiant further states that in GER
tain suits instituted in the courts Of
Illinois seeking to recover damages
to land in Green Bay township, Lee
county, Iowa, he has been informed
that over sixty residents of Lee coun
ty were witnesses, and by their de-
meanor on the stand indicated great
passion and prejudice against defend

case which has been on trial in the
district court here for the past week,

fact that 1t was one of many similar
cases to reach the hands ola jury OF

It is further claimed that it was
talked freely on the streets during the
trial that, verdict of $4,000 to $780,
600 should be given plaintiffs. Since
then other suits have been filed
against the company.
