Kneeskern Trials Cost Winneshiek Co. About $25,000 Belief
Decorah, Ia., Feb. 3 -- Special:  It is impossible to tell yet just the cost

Linchan, Smith and O'Connor of Dubuque, $5,258.65; Linnell brothers of

Daykin Succeeds James Cushing As Township Assessor
James Cushing, elected assessor of Dubuque Township at the general election
in November, tendered his resignation to the board of trustees of the
township Saturday.  Raymond Daykin was appointed to fill the vacancy by the
trustees.  Mr. Daykin, the new assessor, will start on his work Monday.

Auto Damaged By Fire
A short circuit in the wiring caused an automobile owned by A. L. Hammel,
2248 Prince street, to take fire shortly after 12 o'clock Saturday noon.
Hose company No. 6 extinguished the blaze.  The damage was slight.

Coal Pile Fire
Engine company No. 2 was called out at 1:45 Saturday afternoon to a coal
pile fire, caused by spontaneous combustion, at the Dubuque Electric company
power plant, foot of Eighth Street.  The damage was slight.

Fireman Ordered Re-Instated By Carr
James O'Connor, city fireman who was suspended following the collision of an
automobile which he was driving with a street car, was ordered reinstated by
City Manager O. E. Carr following a hearing before the manager Friday
afternoon.  At the hearing O'Connor was represented by Attorney Walter
Koerner.

The city manager's statement on the hearing follows:
"The charges were the outgrowth of an automobile accident occurring at the
corner of Eighth and Central avenue about 12:15, the morning of Dec. 30, and
also in connection with reports regarding O'Connors habits, which were made
after the accident.

From the evidence as submitted it is very apparent that O'Connor was driving
recklessly at the time of the accident.  He was not on duty at the time and
there was nothing presented to show that O'Connor had been drinking or was
under the influence of liquors at the time of the accident.  Neither was
there anything presented to indicate that he had been guilty of conduct
unbecoming a fireman at any time although his conduct may not have been
entirely discreet at all times.

After hearing the evidence O'Connor was ordered to be reinstated as soon as
he should be sufficiently recovered from the injuries sustained by him at
the time of the accident.  The heavy damages to the automobile and the loss
of time for perhaps two months to which he has already or will be subjected,
may be considered sufficient punishment for the reckless driving of which he
was evidently guilty.

Team Of Horses Stolen, Recovered
"Ye olden days of neck-tie parties" were recalled Saturday when Sheriff
Kennedy's office, for the first time in many years, was called upon to
investigate the theft of a team of horses which were taken from the barn of
the J. Ryder Wallis farm at Derby Grange.  Late Saturday afternoon the team
was found roaming on a road some distance from the Wallis farm, but all
traces of the would-be horse thief had disappeared.

The foreman of the Wallis farm discovered the theft of the horses early
Saturday morning when he went to the barn to get them.  He immediately
notified Mr. Wallis and the sheriff was asked to aid.  Sheriff Kennedy and
deputies began an investigation during which a neighboring farmer found the
horses roaming near his land.

The owner of the animals and the sheriff believe that the team was stolen
from the barn and that the thief was unable to handle them and finally had
to let them loose.  Both horses, Mr. Wallis stated, were hard to manage and
it is very possible that the thief found it impossible to get them away
successfully.

Twenty Days For Theft Of Watch
Krank  (sic)  "Monk" Keck said to be the owner of one of the moonshine
shacks which was destroyed by fire on Round Island, was sentenced to twenty
days in jail Saturday afternoon by Justice of the Peace Jesse Green for the
theft of a watch from Andrew Miller.  Keck, police department officials
said, confessed to taking the watch from Miller while the latter was
intoxicated in a resort in the south end of the city.

Autos Damaged In Corner Collision
Automobiles used by the Iowa Dairy company and Mullen Brothers Plumbing
company were badly damaged when they collided at the corner of Twenty-fourth
and Jackson streets Saturday morning.  Drivers of both cars escaped
uninjured.  One of the wheels of the dairy company truck and two wheels on
the plumbers' car were torn off by the collision.

Woman Seriously Injured In Fall
Mrs. Laura Ohnesorge, 2134 Central avenue, suffered a fractured hip when she
slipped and fell as she was alighting from a street car at Twenty-First
street and Central avenue shortly after 9:30 Friday evening.  She was
removed to Mercy hospital in an ambulance.

their home, 1630 Lawnsdale avenue, Saturday.

HOME AND STORE DESTROYED BY FIRE
Building Occupied By John Young in Julien Avenue Scene Of Blaze
Fire or unknown origin, starting shortly before 8 o'clock Saturday night,

MAN HIT BY AUTO DIES OF INJURIES
Henry J. Doran Victim Of Accident In East Dubuque
DRIVER OF TAXI IS ARRESTED
Victim Ran Directly in Path of Machine, According to Witnesses -- To Hold
Inquest
Henry J. Doran, 53 years old, a resident of Dubuque, where he moved only
recently from Waukon, died at Mercy hospital shortly before 10 o'clock this
morning from injuries sustained about 10 o'clock last night when he was
struck by an automobile in East Dubuque.  The machine was being driven by
Arthur Raab, a taxi-cab driver in the employ of Peed Brothers' Taxi line.
He was placed under arrest immediately following the accident on a tentative
charge of speeding.

The accident occurred on Sinsinawa avenue, just south of the rail road
crossing.

Doran, according to eye-witnesses, was running from the west to the east
side of the street in an effort to board a bus which would have taken him
across the river to Dubuque.  Apparently he did not notice the automobile
approaching from the south and, it is said, ran directly into its path.  The
machine, it is said, was traveling at a fairly fast rate of speed.  Doran
was dragged for a distance of about twenty feet before he was finally
released.  The automobile came to a stop about twenty feet further on.

Medical aid was summoned immediately and after a hasty examination the
injured man was rushed to Mercy hospital, where it was readily seen that his
condition was hopeless.  He died in less than three hours.

City Marshal J. E. Liddle of East Dubuque was a witness to the accident.
Following the arrest of the driver the marshal explained that he was holding
him on the technical charge pending the outcome of the coroner's
investigation.  Raab was held in jail until this morning, when he was
released on bonds.

The inquest was scheduled to be held some time today.  Coroner Uehren of
Galena sending word that he would arrive some time during the afternoon to
conduct the hearing.

Mr. Doran, the victim of the accident, was a brother of F. B. Doran,  of the
Doran & Kies Monument company, and was a monument letterer  by trade.  He
came to Dubuque recently from Waukon and had planned on leaving for
Independence in the near future where he had planned to make his home.

Mr. Doran, who was well known in Dubuque, was born in Galena, Ill, in 1870.
He was a granite and marble letterer by trade and had been employed in
various cities during the past few years.  He had been married but his wife
preceded him in death some years ago.  His only surviving relative is his
brother, F. B. Doran, of Dubuque.

Funeral arrangements have not been completed as yet but it is expected that
the body will be shipped from the Voelker Undertaking parlors Friday
afternoon to Galena, where burial will be made.
