UNABLE TO FURNISH EVEN THAT AMOUNT Det Introduces No Testimony a Inajsts There is No Evidence a Orime Has Been ted. Com- Otto Roderick, charged with causing the death of Clark Moyer, the rallway m clerk, was held to the grand jury yester- day afternoon by Justice Bryant. As to the degree of the crime Justice Bryant 1d he would leave that to the grand jury to determine, but decided 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 bail indicates that the court evidently did not consider the crime as murder in the first degree. In default of bail Roderick was recommitted to the ocounty jail. It is not belleved that he will be able to furnish a bond in the sum named. The only witness offered by the state yesterday was former Alderman E. C. Brown, who, with County Surveyor Cook, discovered the unconsclous form of Moyer on the sidewalk in front of the Creston house saloon & few minutes after he had been assaulted. Brown testified to finding Moyer and as to the nature of thé wound on his face. This completed the evidence for the state and Attorney Tialey, for Roderick, stated he would mot 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 pleture of Moyer being struck down by a brick in the hands of Roderiok. This drew forth a protest from the defendant's attorney, who insisted that there had not been a particle of evidence, or even a sug- gestion, that Roderick had struck Moyor with & brick or any weapon. Counsel for the defense contended that there had been no evidence offered by the state to show that a crime had been com- mitted; that the testimony of tho wit- nesses showed that the assault was the result of a drunken street row and that it had been without malice or premedita- tion, and therefore no erime had been committed.

The jury returned a verdict to the effect that the boy’s death was due to an accident and that no blame attached to the rallroad company or the crew of the frelght train. The witnesses were W. S. McLeod, con- ductor, Sam Clyaman and R. Thompson, brakemen of the frelght train. Clyaman alone was able to give testimony which was material. He eald that after leaving Councll Bluffs he noticed two boys riding on an olltank car. He told them to be careful and to get off at the first stop. Passiog Underwood he noticed one of the boys walking along the side of the tank car and he motioned him to sit down. The train gave a lurch and a minute later his attention was attracted by one of the boys signaling to him. He climbed over the cars to. the boy and then learned that the other had fallen off and that the train had run over him. Young Meyer's companion was Carl Helntz, whose home is in Des Moines. Leo Meyer, father of the dead boy, ar- rived from Chicago yesterday morning and took the remains home with him last even- ing. He is In the restaurant business at 3440 State street, Chicago. He sald his son was 16 years of age and had left home about three months ago. The boy, be sald, was of a truant disposition and had left times before, but had al- ways kept them posted as to his where- abouts. Two weeks ago he wrote, saying he was on his way home. Mr. Meyer was the untimely death of his son and his grief when shown the mangled body was pititul to behold. Plumbing and heating. Bixby & Son. Keep clean.

Not Many Enlisted. The recruiting officers engaged In secur- ing men for the United States army in Towa report that enlistments are not as easily secured now as they formerly were, and that there is a distinct falling off in the number of applicants for admission to the army. The report for the month of May just made out shows that in that month there were 187 applicants, and of these only thirty-five were accepted and 152 rejected. The army regulations are such to make it more difficult to get men to come up to the full requirements. There are two regular etations In Iowa, at Des Molnes and Davenport, and substations at Sioux City, Dubuque, Burlington, Keokuk, Cedar Rapids, Fort Dodge and Onawa. Two colored men were enlisted during the month. S8ix of the men eniisted for the cavalry service, ! Report om Ins e Hoapital, The annval report of Dr. Gershom H. Hill as superintendent of the state hospital at Independence, covering his last year at that institution, closes with profuse thanks to the members of the Board of Control for their valuable help, for friendly considera- tion at all times and for the success which has been achieved in the work of caring for the insane under their wise direction. The total number of patients treated in the hospital the year ended June 30 last was 1,425, There were in the hospital at the end of the last blennial period a total of 1,047 persons, 637 males and 410 females. During the year 206 were admitted for first time and eighty-two who had been treated before, making more than an av- erage of one a day. Of the 327 discharged 106 were cured, ninety-seven improved, thirty unimproved and one was not in- sane in the first place, Ninety-three died. The average number in the hospital wi less than 1,000 until June 30, 1898, when 1t went to 1,008. The next year the aver- age was 1,008, in 1900 it was 1,08), but in the year just ended it was 1,075. During the iast blennial period the total number discharged as cured was 162, but during the last single year, covered in the report just made, 106 were discharged as cured, “which is a larger number,” says Dr. Hill, “than this hospital has ever reported cured since we have endeavored as care- fully and scientifically as possible to de- termine the exact mental condition of patients who have left the hospital.” The strike of telephone operators Is partly settied. The managers of the Iowa have broken off negotiations, refusing to discharge any of the new operators. The Mutual conceded everything to the strikers and they will go back to work tomorrow.

SIOUX CITY, Ia., July 10.—(Special Tele- gram.)—At & speclal election held here today it was voted to levy a 4-mill tax to straighten the channel of the Floyd river. The vote carried by about 2 to 1.

D., July 10.—(Spectal.) —During the recent session of congress a bill was quietly passed changing some- what the jury system of the United States courts. Originally the grand and petit jurors for the district of South Dakota were drawn from all parts of the state. A number of years ago a bill was passed by congress confining the drawing of jurors from the district of the state in which the term of cvurt was to be held. The bill passed by the recent session of congress changes the procedure back to what it originally was, and in future the jurors for terms of federal court will be drawn trom all parts of the state, without regard to the district in which the term s to be held.
