HEARING IN THE ROBBIN9 CASE
Mroasr Evidence Brought Oat Agwlnst
the Arensed.
Isaac Robblns, who Is charged with a
particularly atrocious assault on Annie
Clucas, a diminutive 5-year-old child, had
a partial preliminary hearing In the court
of Justice Gardiner yesterday. The evi
dence so far Introduced would indicate
that Robblns, after attacking the child,
who was alone In her home, smeared her
I air with either kerosene or gasoline, ex
pecting that the child would catch fire and
possibly be burned to death, as If by acci
dent, and his crime thus hidden.
The child, who mas In court, had her
head, face and honds still swathed In
bandages, as she Is still suffering from
thi- severe burns she received the after
noon of the alleged assault.
The witnesses examined by the state yes
terday afternoon were Dr. V. I Treynor,
Mrs. Ed Clucns, mother of the little girl;
Mrs. George Clucas, sister-in-law of the
child, and John T. Mowery, a neighbor,
who took the child Into his home when she
rushed out of her houee wtlh her hatr
and clothing on fire.
The mother and the child's sister-in-law
testified as to what the little girl had told
about the alleged assault and as to what
she said about Bobbins pouring something
from a bottle on her head, which, when she
was standing near the stove later, caught
fire. They also testified that when they
licensed Robblns of assaulting the child he
offered them everything he owned, includ
ing his horse nnd wagen, If they would
drop the ensc. This part "f the testimony
was corroborated by Mowery, who was
standlr.g by and overheard, ha said, Rob
blns pleading for clemency and making the
offer to give everything he had If the
child's family would drop the case.
Mowery also testified to the alleged fact
of Robblns being alone In the house with
the child for half an hour the afternoon
of the alleged assault and to the fact of
the child running out of the house with
her hair and clothing on fire shortly after
Robblns had left the place.
Dr. V. L. Treynor, who examined the
child at the request of the county attor
ney, testified as to the evidences of an
assault having been commlttd.
The hearing will be resumed Monday,
when the child will be placed on the stand
to tell her story. When an attempt to
auestlon her was made yesterday after
noon the child became almost hysterical
and Assistant County Attorney Ross, who
Is conducting the hearing for the state,
deemed It best to postpone further pro
ceedings until Monday.
"If the child's story is true, and I see
no reason yet why It U not. this Is the
most atrocious case brought to my atten
tion since I became connected with the
county attorney's office," said Mr. Ross
yesterday afternoon.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DE3 MOINES, Jan. 17. (Special.)
Speaker Feely of the Iowa house of repre
sentcttves has adopted the method of
"ellmlr.ation and deduction" In tha fix
ing of hie standing commltteea for the
session. During these few days recess
the speaker la hard at work. He has
drafted a great aheet with the names of
all committees and under the heads of
these varloua committees he has written
the name of every request for member
ship. It Is needless to say that there are
toj many names for nearly every commit
tee, especially the big ones. . Nooj Mr.
Feely has commenced the process of ar
rangement, elimination and final decision
as to the makeup of the commltteea.
He has a gigantic task. Naturally every
member will be disappointed If he does
not receive Just what be wanted In the
way of appointment. The speaker Is try
ing to Injure as few feelings as possible.
He has decided upon the chairmanships
of the numerous committees, but he will
not give these out until he announces
his full committees Tuesday and possibly
not until Wednesday.
Representative Ripley from Hancock
county has discovered a hole In the
"Inebriate" law and Is preparing a good
slxl patch to plaster upon it. As the
law now stands it provides a punishment
for a saloonkeeper who sells liquor to a
drunkard or a discharged inebriate. It
fixes no penalty, however, for selling to
paroled inebrlatea. So, Mr. Ripley would
have the law changed to make this also
a crime.
For County Hospitals.
To permit counties to construct out of
county funds and maintain county noa-
nltaln is the object of a oin wnion wm
he Introduced by Representative Felt of

Enough Money In Sight to Par All
Obligations.
The new Board of Directors of the Na
tional Horticultural congress met Saturday
evening in the rooma of the Commercial
club and devoted considerable time to go
ing over the remaining bills from the re
cent fruit ahow. These bills are In the
aggregate aomewhat more than had been
anticipated, but while there ia not suf
ficient funds on hands at present to pay
them all, there will be ample funds to
meet all the liabilities when the stock of
apples left from the show Is disposed of
and when a number of oustanding accounts
are collected.
"We wtll have ample funda within the
next sixty days with which to pay all
theae bills." said President Keellne, "but
we may have to ask aome of our creditors
to wait a little. We will have sufficient
money to pay everything we owe, I believe,
without calling upon the guaranty fund."

the most active candidate waa E. P. Peck.

valiantly for him, and likewise did the ad
herents of the other five. The result was
