Krebill vs. Henkle Comes Back From
Its Third Trip to the
Iowa Supreme
Court.
IS AN INTERESTING CASE
Suit Grew Out of Possession of Four
Pictures Given as Premium
and Searching of
Room.
The famous Lee county picture
case, that of F. H. Krebill v®. W. L.
Henkle, has made its third trip to the
Iowa supreme court, and this time
has come back affirmed. Judge Horan
heard the case by special assignment
after the hearing had been held
twice before, with Judges Henry
Bank and W. S. Withrow presiding.
Four pictures, given as premium^
were the 'basis of the suit which nas
become as famous as the Jones coun
ty calf case.
The case was brought by Krebill
who sued for damages for alleged
malicious suing out of a search war
rant. Miss Richardson was a school
teaclher who boarded in the Krebill
home, and the pictures in question
adorned the wall of the school in Lee
county, known as the Henkle school.
A dispute arose'over the pictures and
the room of Miss Richardson in the
LKreblll home was scarchcd, and out
of this act grew the suit.
.Miss Rifchardson secured a verdict
for damages against 'Henkle in a
separate suit.
There are a number of interesting
angles In thev case. T. B. Snyder ap
peared for Krebill, and Miss Richard
son who appeared in her suit against
Henkle later married the attorney.
Hollingsworth and Blood of Keokuk,
and R. N. Jottmson of Fort J^adison,
appeared for Henkle. In the second
case Washington Galland, the pioneer
who has since died, appeared. In
the third case he was brought to the
court house from the county home In
I an automobile every day of the trial,
although he was not put oh the
stand. Henkle is now a guard in the
Fort Madison prison.
I The four pictures were those of the
I Rough Riders, battleships, an old
English scene and iRock of Ages.
Another Decision.
Another Lee county decision is that
of Mitchell vs. Beck in which the ap
plicant for rehearing is overruled.
This was a case in which the supreme
court sustained Judge Bank's decis
ion, and a rehearing was asked for.

Observor.
Most every woman
wants a nice, clear com
plexion. and can have it at a trifling cost.
Constipation in women is increasing to
an alarming extent, and this causes poor
circulation which accounts for yellow,
muddy, pimply complexions which so
many women are trying to overcome.
Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets
is the one dependable remedy for bad
complexions. They act on the liver and
bowelslike calomel, yet have no dangerous
afteT-effect. They assist nature to throw off
the impurities that get into the blood.They
will surely clear up, even the most distress
ing condition quickly
and tone up the entire
system, giving a pure, fresh, ruddy skin.
They are absolutely pure—easy to take
and correct constipation. They act quick
ly. cleanse and purify—and make yon
feel fine. Start treatment now. Get a box
from any druggist—10c and 25c.

A FINE TREATMENT
FOR CATARRH
Easy to Make and Costs Little.
Catarrh is s-uch an insidious dls»
ease and has become so prevalent
during the past few years that its
tmitment should be understood by
all.
Science has fully proved that Ca
tarrh is a constitutional disease \$md
therefore requires a constitutional
treatment. Sprays, inhalers, salvea
and nose douches seldom if ever give
lasting benefit and often drive tha
disease further down the air passage**
and into the lungs.
If you have Catarrh or Catarrhal
deafness or head-noises, go to your
druggist and get one ounce of Par
mint (Double Strength). Take this
home and add to it Y* pint of hot
water and 4 ounces of granulated
sugar stir until dissolved, take ona
tablespoonful 4 times a day.
This will often bring quick relief
from the distressing head-noises,
clogued nostrils should open, breath
ing become easy and mucus stop
dropping into the throat.
This treatment has a slight tonic
action which niakes it especially ef
fective in casc-s whore the blocd
has become thin arid weak. It ia
easy to make, tastes pleasant and
costs little. Every person who Wishes
to be free from thi.s destructive dis
ease should g!ve this treatment a
trial. Wilkinson & Co. can supply
you.
