DES MONIES, Dec. 12.-(Spectal.)-The
Iowa Telephone company will not rest con-
tent with the decision of Judge Mcpherson
OF the United States district court in the
matter of the injunction against strikers
issued by Judge Sanborn at st. Paul.
Judge Mcpherson threw the case out Of
court for lack Of Jurisdiction. The suit was
brought not by the telephone company
proper, but by the trust company which
has a mortgage on the property. Judge
Mcpherson held that the interests of this
trust company in the securities Of the tele-
phone company were not sufficient to es-
tablish Jurisdiction for this court in such
a case, but he gave the attorneys fifteen
days in which to amend their papers and
introduce evidence to show the close rela-
tionship between the telephone company
and the trust company. They have chosen
not to do this, but to appeal from the
decision Of Judge Mcpherson to the circuit
court Of appeals and stand on their posi-
tion taken before Judge Sanborn. II they
fail in this the case will be dropped. The
injunction is against officers Of the labor
unions to prevent them from interfering
with the telephones Of the company.
Looking for Mrs. Nellie Prince,
Sheriff Mattern of this county expects
to effect the arrest Of Mrs. Nellie Prince

photograph and description, and as she
owns a large amount of property in and

come here to pay her taxes. Mrs. Prince
is wanted in Omaha for the theft of two
valuable sealskin coats from one of the
big stores. She and a confederate are al
legged to have made way with the coats and
left the city Immediately and have not
been seen since. Mrs. Prince was formerly
we'll known here, having lived here with
