urday evening, and caused much damage.
The telephone company was perhaps the
greatest loser. Many of the poles went
down under the heavy weight of ice, and
wires in every part OF the city were either
or torn down. The electric light
company also sustained heavy loss. The
telephone exchange was not in operation
this week, n in many places the cleo
trio lights were cut off. The two COM
are at work repairing the DANA
yes, and will be in full operation in the

The long-drawn-out controversy be-
Tween Colonel Charles II. Jones and the
Publishing company was decided
the supreme, court in bauc Wednes-
Law. The decision was handed down by
Judge McFarlane, and is OF great length.
The opinion sustains the trial court in
nearly every contention, and is a com
olete victory for Jones. Judges Sherwood
Robinson d~issented, but offered no
opinion. The suit grow out OF an
effort made by Joseph Pulitzer and his
associates to Dust Colonel Jones from the
management of the Post-D.spatch, IN the
ground tha he had violated his contract.
Jones obtained an injunction in the
circuit court, and Pulitzer took an appeal,
only to suffer another defeat in the super
or court.
