Otto Roderick, charged with causing the
death of Clark Moyer, the railway mall
clerk, waa held to the grand Jury yester
day afternoon by Justice Bryant. Aa to
the degree of the crime Justice Bryant
laid he would leave that to the grand Jury
to determine, but deolded that Roderick
was entitled to ball If he could, furnish It
In the required amount, which he placed
at $1,000. The fact that Roderick will be
permitted to give ball Indicates that the
court evidently did not consider the crime
as murder In the first degree. In default
of ball Roderick wai recommitted to the
county Jail. It Is not believed that he will
be able to furnish a bond In the sum
named.
The only witness offered by the state
yesterday wai former Alderman E. C.
Brown, who, with County Surveyor Cook,
dlaoovered the unconscious form of Moyer
on the sidewalk in front of the Creaton
house aaloon a few minutes after he had
been assaulted. Brown testified to finding
Moyer and aa to the nature of the wound
on his face. This completed the evidence
for the state and Attorney Tlnley, for
Roderick, stated he would not Introduce
any testimony at this time. -
Assistant County Attorney Kimball in
his argument to the court accused the
newspapers of trying the case and drew a
vivid picture of Moyer being struck down
by a brick In the handa of Roderlok. This
drew forth a proteat from the defendant'a
attorney, who Insisted that there bad not
been a particle of evidence, or even a sug
gestlon, that Roderick had struck Moyor
with a brick or any weapon.
Counsel for the defense contended that
there had been no evidence offered by the
state to ihow that a crime had been com
mitted; that the testimony of the wit
nesses showed that the assault was the
result of a drunken street row and that
it had been without malice or premedlta
tlon, and therefore no crime had been
committed.

The Predictions for the smallest corn iron
harvested In Iowa In veara average about
eighty bushels to the acre, but there Is
time enough yet, if the weather hnppens
to turn snout ana Pe good, to give the
prophets of evil a reverse. Iowa s corn
crop la not made yet. nor Is It spoiled In

be offset by a fall so warm and so long
extended that the corn that now looks
hopelessly small and quite left behind In
the race will have plenty of time to come
to a tair yicia.
