Huth Ayres of Hayes t'enter,
Xc!.ra?ka, last August and of the"
dt-ith of Miss Ayres which occurred
on August Sth at the home of Mrs.
Minnie Deyo, practical nurse, who
will also go on trial on the same
-h..vg;e in January.
he penalty for the crime of which
the physician was convicted is from
one to ten years ia the penitentiary.
l iclds attorneys have three days
in vhich to file a motion for a new
t riM. In case the' motion is denied
the; will appeal immediately to the
state supreme court.
Fields will attempt today to raise
bonds which-will MjtairL-his release
from the county jail during any fur
ther nroceedings. .His bond, which
war; sr. 000 before the trial, will In
not Uss than S 10.000 now. it was
learned on unquestionable authority
la&t nifrht.
Only three or four persons outside
the jury, court officials and newspa
per men. were present when the jury
ror .rted. Fields, by an ironical turn
of fate, had watched the jurors take
the last fatal I allot. From the win
ricv of the cell he was occupying
in '-e county jail he could look di
rectly down into the jury room. As
ho accompanied Deputy Sheriff J
Charles Johnuon to the court room
he remarked that he felt the case
had gone against him.
The jurors were. unusually solemn
as they filed into the court room. No
member of Fields' .family was pres
ent, and the physician sat, his face
bloodless and his hands clasped tight
ly, together. As the clerk of the
court announced the verdict the pris
omr's head sagged forward on his
brci-st and he did not speak, even to
his attorneys, for several minutes.
1$ X. Robertson, representing
Fields, asked that the jury be polled.
Thi:-; was done under instructions of
the rourt, each juror confirming the
verdict.
The technical charge against
Fields was murder by abortion. He
wa$ alleged to have performed two
operations noon Miss Ayer. one on
August ? and a -second on August 5.
The girl hnd come here from Hayes
f'or.tr following tragic developments
in a Jove affair with Francis" Watson
Axander, 19, a boy of her home
town with whom she had been keep
ing com puny for four years.
She refused to marry young Alex
ander, the evidence disclosed, and in
sisted upon the operation performed
by Fields.
Whether or not the supreme court
upholds the conduct of the trial
will depend almost solely upon
whether or not it affirms Judge
Troup's action in admitting as evi
dence a letter 'written by the girl to
Alexander on August 3, naming
Fields as the man who was to per
form the operation the following
day. In the letter the girl said she
was to be taken tov 2704 Xorth Sixty
fourth street, the home of Mrs. Min
nie Devo.
Fields denied the first operation,
endeavoring to prove his innocence
by establishing an alibi. He admit
ted the second oneration but faid
jthe cirl had come to him in a dying
I rondftion cn August 4 and that he
jbad operated to saye her life if pos

Mrs. William Stohlman went to
Omaha Wednesday where she will
stay with her little granddaughter,
Lenora Gaebel for a few days and
thus let the little girl's mother,
Mrs. Henry Gaebel, return home for
a rest. Little Lenora recently un
derwent a serious operation for ap
pendicitis at the M. E. hospital and
has been having considerable of a
struggle, but she is coming out all
right and her family hope she will
be, able to return home by Christmas.
Mr. Gaebel has been gofng back and
forth as he had to be at home to look
after his farm part of the time.
The Shelhorn boys, Fred and John
who farmed the Ernest Pautsch quar
ter section west of Louisville this
year, raised so much corn that they
scarcely know what to do with it.
Two large cribs have been filled to
their extreme capacity and they have
twenty-five acres or more in the field
and no place to put it. And talk
about corn. If any of the big seed
houses could have secured such corn
a few years ago they could have
disposed of every ear of it at a fabu
lous price. It is of the white variety
ar.d the ears are large, sound, uni
form and filled out to the very ends.
The boys say that with the present
priceof lumber and the low price of
corn they will pile the remainder of
teh crop on the ground.
Mr. and Mrs. Hans Loberg cele
brated their silver wedding anniver
sary at a quiet family dinner last.
Wednesday at their home in the east
part of town. All the members of
their family were not present upon
this occasion, as Christmas was only
ten days off and they expected to
gather under the parental roof at
that time. Mr. and Mrs. Loberg
were married in Hudickvall, Sweden,
December 15, 1895 and lived there
until in April, 1904,. they came to
America and settled at Alta, Iowa.
They brought with them to this
country, four children. Since com
ing here, three little daughters have
been born to them, making a fam
ily of seven. Mr. Loberg moved his
family to Louisville soon after com
ing to Iowa, as he had brothers here
and he obtained work in the quar
ries where he has worked regularly
ever since. Mrs. Loberg was also
ambitious to give their children the
advantage of good schooling and she
helped to enlarge the family income
by taking in washing and they have
bought and paid for a comfortable
home, furnished with everything to
make it attractive and ijiome-like.
