Eldora. Oct. 6.-L. H. Broer, q
farmer west OF town, has brought
two actions in district court against
Elmer s. Maine ct al, Of Iowa Falls,
in which he asks the district court
to give him judgment for more than
$1,000 on promissory notes. The petit

money by representing to the plain
tiff that he was about to establish a
large tractor factory in Iowa Falls
which would produce q serviceable
machine at a low price. The notes,

Yr
Hoot Owl Stops
Electric Service
For Twelve Hours

Perry, Oct. 6.-Just because a boot
owl chose to lay one OF his wings
gently over wire, Manager NJ. G.
Lyon, VIII Merriman and George
Volker put in a strenuous twelve
hours and the Iowa Railway and
Light Company suffered considerable
loss. All concerned are taking little
consolation from the fact that the
hooter will boot no more, but that
fact doesn't pay the repair bills.
The trouble of the men started
when people began to ask: Whats
the mater with the lights" All the
plant manager and employees knew
was that there was trouble on the
high line between Perry and Boone
and that 1t was out OF commission.
Merriman and Volker Immediately
started on tour of investigation.
They patrolled the line carefully ana
nnaiiy found the trouble over the
Des Moines river. 1t was o'clock
the next morning before things were
functioning properly again.

questions about his name, his bust
ness connections, his residence.
Then the fight began.
Point for point. question for ques-
ton they battled.
Now the attorney general cornered
| Messenger with series Of well
planned questions, only to have him
slip deftly from under the queries
and step into the clear, ready for a
new battle.
: Again the attorney general would
direct fire OF interrogatories at the
witness. this time, perhaps, to have
the witness shift or answer In
indirectly. and to have the court rep
rimand him for failure to answer
the question.
And when at 4:50 yesterday after
noon the court adjourned until to-
day. neither had the state landed a
decisive blow nor had the witness,
fighting an ever defensive battle,
barricaded himself effectively against
the verbal artillery of the attorney
general.
The first witness to take the stand
after the state finished with George
Rowe. cashier of the Mechanics Saw
ings Bank and member Of the Mes

was George Williams, assistant cash
Ter OF the Des Moines National Bank
and assistant to John Cavanagh in
his duties as receiver of the AS

cupied the stand while Havner read
into the record letters verifying
verbal testimony Of previous wit

statesmen and principals for the pack

ness and shrewd lawyer matched
wits against each other yesterday
afternoon in the Associated Packing

read into the records was largely a
REPETITION in letters Of what witnesses
had testified to verbally before.
The attorney general paused.
