The session cf the United States district court will probably close today. The prin cipal things left over for today Is the sen tencing of the Grlswold bank robbers , Wilson and Smith. A motion for a new trial will bo made In the Edglngton fraudulent pension case. If tills Is overruled sentence will be pronounced on Edglngton today. The case of C. S. Kcenan against the Equitable Life Anura'nce society of the United Slates was to have been tiled yester day , but It goes over for another term. This case Is of considerable Interest , as It grows out of the death of Fannie Mawhor , whose husband , William Mawhor , was Indicted for murdering her , but acquitted. He assigned to Keenan a $3,000 ln urance policy on her life and Keenan Is suing the company. II L. Laird , administrator of Mrs. Mawhor's estate , has Intervened , and when the case comes up It promises to be an Interesting one The company bases Its refusal to pay on the charge that the death was caused by either culclde or murder , either of which would Invalidate the policy. When Maw hoi was tried his defense was that his wife committed suicide , and the evidence put for ward by him at that time will be Introduced by the attorneys for the company. The post ponement until next term was decided upon In order that briefs covering the disputed points of law might be drawn up by both sides , Dot Ii\ert of Adams county was the lasl alleged bootlegger to be tried , and he was discharged on account of lack of evidence against him. Considerable Interest has beer caused by the developments In the boot legging cases at this term , and the jurors are among the loudest In their condemnation of the proceedings. WOHK OF PROFESSIONAL INFOIIMCRS As stated In The Bee a week ago , then have been a number of cases tried In whlcl there was not the slightest evidence agalnsl the accused. The marshal , all his deputies the district attorney and the clerk of th < court have denied In warm language tha they have ever hired any one to act as pro fcsslonal Informer In a whisky case , am ono of the deputy marshals even went si far ns to threaten to offer $50 to any on < who would prove that he had done so Nevertheless , now that the term Is so neai over and the Jurors feel free to talk , the ; have no hesitancy In saying that all appear anccs Indicate that certain men are maklni a business of working up trade for thi United States officials , whether they are hlret or not. "I have sat In the court room for nearl ; three weeks , " said one of these jurors yes terday , a level headed business man o western Iowa , "and watched the trial o these cases pretty closely and I have not i doubt In my own mind , that the greater par of the bootlegging cases are brought abou by professional Informers' , who perhaps gene no pay excepting the witness fees they re celve for testifying before the grand jur ; and at the trials. But whether they go outside pay or not , this sort of business I disgusting to men like myself , who hav to sit and watch It all the way though. I an Investigation were made I have no doub that some Interesting disclosures would b turned up. Eighty jurors are hired at $ a day to try these cases , many of which hav not the slightest foundation. " The offices of commissioner and clerk , mar shal and district attorney are considered fa plums , for they are paid In fees , the amoun of which varies , of course , with the amoun of business done. The commissioners ) ] ! pays , It Is said , $5,000 a year , the marshal ship about the same and the ofllce of distrlc attorney perhaps $1,000 more. STOOD UP FOR HIS REP. William Matlock of Creston , who was or of the principal witnesses In the case of th United States against George Marshall , n cently acquitted on a charge of bootlegglni wrote a letter yesteiday to Judge Woo son stating that his reputation for veraclt had been assailed by someaflldavlts vvhlc he claimed had been signed by acquaintance In Creston and filed by the defendant , Mai shall. His letter was accompanied by afl davits of the several men referred to , sta Ing that any affidavits purporting to hav been made by them Impugning Matlock reputation for truthfulness were false , fi they had known him for several years , ai : knew his reputation to be good. Judge Woolson called upon Marshall's a torney , Colonel Dalley , to tell what he Kne about It , saying thatlf _ any forged aflidav ! had been used the court would put the' ma shal and his deputies at work making t Immediate Investigation. Colonel Dalle stated that no such allldavlts had been usi by his client , and that the nearest thing It was an adldavlt In which Marshall stati that he expected to prove by means of tl several gentlemen referred to that Matloi was a liar. This explanation satisfied tl court , and what looked like trouble for som body was choked off. OAKlON flIKN KOI1I1HI ) AND Kxperlcncft of n Pair of WltnnMm Wl Spout .Hominy Night Celolinttlil ? . C.

The children were clinging to the brave woman nnd she was skillfully guiding the vIclouR animal. A dozen times the rig was on the point of upsetting , and she only avoided a collision with other vehicles by the most daring skill. The horse continued his wild race across the Northwestern railway tracks and a mile further down Broadway before he was conquered by the plucky woman and brought to a standstill without damage to the vehicle or Its occupants.
