Alsn Visibly Affected by
Ihe Event.
That he was guilty of assault with intent
spend the winter' ' to comm,t murder was the finding yester- ,
f Chicago Is the'lny "'rnoon of the Jury In the case of '
tieorge Matheson, the young man charged .
with shooting Deputy Sheriff J. C. "Baker of
this city at Weston on May 7 last. The
case was given to the Jury shortly before 1
o'clock and the verdict was returned at
J: SO. the jury in the meantime partaking of
dinner. . .
The verdict came somewhat as a surprise
to the defense, which maintained that the
shooting was accidental. Toung -Matheson
when the verdict was read broke down and
cried. His father, the only, other member
of the family present at the time, was also
visibly affected. The punishment for the
offense la not to exceed ten years In the
penitentiary, but the minimum sentence Is
left
to the discretion of the court. Judge i
Preston will probably pns sentence next ,
Monday or Tuesday and In the meantime
Matheson Is allowed out on the original
i Sn.floO bond.
The closing argument for the defense waa
mude by Emmet Tlnley. who made a strong
plea for the acquittal of the young man on
the contention that the shooting waa purely
accidental and resulted from the nervous-

jury that the shooting could not have been

county attorney used a revolfer. taking the

At the close of the Mbtheson case the
trial of C. E. Bird, better known .as
"Stretch" Bird, was begun. But little time
was consumed In securing Jury. Bird has

about 800 creameries In Iowa and 17,000 hand
separators, are' In use on the farms of the

and cream good, and these are prime ele
ments in maintaining the great farm pros
perity In Iowa.
. Dairy .Commissioner Wright spoke along
the same line -and pointed out the value of

Constable John Vlckers ('Tided f

I Front a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, Nov. 19. (Spoclal.) " We
are making a beginning," said Governor
Cummins, "In the direction of bringing
order cut of chaos in the matter of pre
serving and circulating the state docu
ments and publications, I feel that It Is
something that has been too much neg
lected. We have had prepared, and It Is
now ready, a complete check list of all the
documents ever printed by the state. We
are having made a complete Inventor', of
the documents In possession bf the state.
By the time we are ready to move Into the
state warehouse some time 'about the first
of the year, we will know better what the
state has and how to handle It than ever
before. The document matter haa been
neglected for many years. It. has not been
the fault of anyone in particular, but no
well digested plan of taking car of this
Important work has been devised. After
we have got the documents catalogued and
Inventoried we plan to have a room some
where In the statehouse where we will
have a complete set of all the documents
available for reference by all persons. We
desire to also place In each c ffl re a full set
of the documents of that particular office
something that has never been done. There
are few offices in the city that now possess
a'.! the printed documents Issued from the
office. To make these documents valuable
there- should also be a general Index, and
Jhe legislature ought to make provision for
the printing of an Index to all the docu
ments.
"These, documents are now going to about
230 public libraries In Iowa. Every one of
these libraries should have as many of the
documents as can be spared, and they
should have catalogues. The members of
the executive council have reached tho
conclusion that the disposal of the docu
menta shonlrt left finally in the hands
of the counc: . nd not be left to the vari
ous state 'ofi.kers. There ls need of some
business management of the whole and
careful supervision, and the council is bet
ter prepared for this than any other body
of the state. At present the documents are
circulated by the secretary of state and
the residue goes to the various offices. Wa
believe that this is one' of the most Im
portant matters In hand at the present
time, and when It In set right It can be
kept right through all time, and In the
coming years this work will be appreciated
by the people."
