OBJECTS To JURY;
NAMES ARE DRAWN
Attorneys For sinton Say There 10
Not Legal Number to Choose
From in Present
Panel.
IL MORE TO BE DRAWN
Case VIII be Taken up Tomorrow
Afternoon When There Will be
at Least Twenty-four
to Draw From.

Objections raised by the defense on
the ground that there was not a
legal number of Jurors to choose from
halted the case Of Flickinger VS.. Sim
ton until tomorrow afternoon at two
o'clock An order was made by the
court that twelve additional jurors
should be drawn and Auditor A P.
Meyer and Clerk o. r. Johnston
were called from Fort Madison this
afternoon and with Recorder Ed. G.
Vaughan proceeded to draw the ad-
ditional number.
The code provides that in coun-
ties of $4,000 people or more, there
shall be at least twenty-four jurors to
choose from. When the jurors were
checked up yesterday. it was found
that only twenty out of the fifty
drawn were available for service
Several were Ill and many had moved
out of the state. This accounts for
thte small number reporting.
Talesmen were drawn. but these
were objected to by attorneys for
Sinton. Judge Bank then excused the
had reported, and made an order for
twelve additional names to be drawn.
Counting for the reasonable number
of excuse, ii is presumed that there
will be twenty-four from which to
choose.
Eleven jurors had been selected
yesterday when the objection to the
panel was made.
Ruling Tomorrow Morning.
Judge Bank expects to rule on the
habeas corpus hearing tom orrow
morning. This Is the matter in which
arguments were made yesterday. 1t

QUESTION OF WITHDRAWAL OF
u. S. TROOPS FROM MEXICO
STILL UNDER CONSIDERATION
PERSHING IS GIVEN
ADDITIONAL TROOPS

Paso, out Of the question because of
Carranza's refusal to permit it and
the reluctance of the administration
to authorize its seizure.
Additional troops are being sent to
General Pershing as much for the
protection of those already in Mexico
along the line of communication as to
strengthen the force pursuing Villa
in the region south of Satevo. Marked
hostility has been displayed along the
line of communications by Villas men
and indications have been numerous
that not all the Carranza element,
both military and civil, were friendly.
Scouts are continuing their work of
locating Carranza troops in that vi
cinity
