APPEAL 11ELPS MATHESON
On Eatond Trial H ii CtiTioted of a
Mlior Offense.
YEAR IN JAIL THE MAXIMUM IN HIS CASE
Trial of Pat Crow tko flisrge of
Holding; tp Street Car la Bet
for Monday In District
Court,
George Matheson of Weston, la., the
young man who shot and seriously
wounded J. C. Baker of this city on the
night of May 7, 1803, while tha latter,
who waa then a deputy sheriff, was In
vestigating the theft ef a quantity of
Jewelry from a store In Weston, will rot
have to go to the penitentiary. The dis
trict court Jury, before which Matheson
had his second trial, brought In a verdict
at 10:10 o'clock yesterday morning, after
being out all night, finding him guilty only
of assault with Intent to Inflict great
bodily Injury.
The maximum penalty under the finding
of the Jury Is one year's imprisonment la
the county Jail or a fine of $500. Matheson
waa Indicted on the charge of assault
with Intent to commit murder and at
his former trial the Jury found he was
guilty of this offense and Judge Prestoa
sentenced him to eight years In the peni
tentiary at Fort Madison. Matheson never
went to the penitentiary, as he filed an
appeal and waa allowed his liberty on a
heavy bond furnished by his relatives.
Whether or not Matheson will appeal from
the present verdict hat not been an
nounced. It is stated that three of the Jurors
stood out for acquittal, while the other
nine were for finding Matheson guilty
charged In the indictment. The verdict
of assault with Intent to inflict great
bodily Injury only, Is said to have been
a compromise, the nine agreeing to it
rather than have a disagreement.
Crowo Case Monday.
The trial of Pat Crowe on the charge
of holding up and robbing two street car
crews at the east end of the motor bridge
on the night of Sunday, July 2, 1905, has
been definitely set for next Monday, and
County Attorney Hess Is subpoenaing wit
nesses for the state for that day. Crowe
waa Indicted In January, 1906, Jointly with
Arthur Levi, but It was stated at the
county court house yesterday that the
defendants Intended demanding separate
trials. If this be the case County Attor
ney Hess stated yesterday he would elect
to try Crowe first.
In connection with the trial of Crowe
and Levi arises the question of the re
ward offered by the street railway com
pany for the arrest of the men who held
up and robbed the two motor crews. At
the time the street railway company of
fered a reward of $500. Levi was ar
rested In this city, but Crowe was cap
tured in Butte, Mont. Deputy Sheriff
Woolman of this city Is credited with hav
ing worked up the caae agalns't Crowe and
Levi and If either are convicted he foels
that he would be entitled to the $5no.
In the trial of the $20,000 personal Injury
damage suit of Nells Hansen against the
Union Transfer company, begun yesterday
in the district court, no testimony waa In
troduced on behalf of the defense. The
Union Transfer company Is now in bank
ruptcy and made no direct defense, but
the trustee, F. E. Everest, and the cred
itors, are represented by three firms of at
torneys. Arguments were begun late yes
terday afternoon and will be resumed this

tion hospital, died yesterday from spinal
meningitis after twenty-six hours' Illness.
Miss Wood recently attended the two chil
dren of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Tlrney, 1119

Speaking of the deceased, a member of

nurse the second child when It was
stricken, well knowing the terribly in
fectious nature of the disease. Her death
Is a great loss and she will be deeply
mourned not only by her fellow nurses, but
by every member of the medical staff of

Wood, the experts who have spent most of ciium! nroduce'to hlah levels. The south
west, central west, soutn ana leaning east
ern centers all send reports of backward
retail trade, which find reflection In advices
of quieter than expected reorders for cloaks
and millinery from Jobbers and wholesalers.
Taken as a whole, crop reports are a trllle
more encouraging. The cold weather, how.
ever, prevent beat growth In winter wheat
and oats and cotton and retards planting
of corn, the last of the great crop, to be
seeded.
There are many lines, however, in which
signs of hesitation are looked for In vain.
The Iron and steel situation, as a whole, Is
really stronger In both crude and finlshel
lines, despite current record outputs. Steel
rails are being bought freely for 19 de
livery and pig Iron sells briskly for the
last half of the year at higher prices. An
other stronKly situated line Is that of cotton
goods, which feel the Impetus of current
demand still exceeding delivery, of higher
prices for "raw cotton and of widespread
advances In wagee of mill help, which Is
still In Insufficient supply north and south.
There Is also more doing In wool In the
west, where the deadlock between dalers
and producers has been broken. Prices
have been psld which. Indeed, Indicate that
eastern n"n'allona must sdvance to show
profits for the dealers. There are reports
thst unfavorable weather has checked
building In some sections; Incldental'y ma
terials ar easier In some localities, but

riomftnd and flrni prices.
