Matters I'm District court.

Tit trial Of the suit Of Petrus Peterson
against the Des Moines Fire Insurance
company is still occupying the attention of
Judge Green and a jury in the district court
and is expected to do so for the balance
OF the week. The defense is attempting
to show that It was induced to place the
insurance on To- stock and building by al
legged false representations as to their
value.
The personal injury damage suit Of Bes-
sic A.. Woodruff, a minor, against the
Evans Laundry company was settled out
OF court yesterday. The plaintiff sued for
$4,000 for injuries received to her hand in
a collar and cum ironer in April, 1901. and
In full settlement yesterday the company
confessed judgment in the sum of $40.
The motor company filed a motion for a
new trial in the suit in which Chris Pc
terson was awarded $13, 500 damages for
personal injuries. In addition to the usual
grounds the motor company alleges that
the attorney for the plaintiff should not
have been permitted to make a tabulated
statement on the blackboard to the jury, by
which he presented what he claimed the
plaintiff could have earned in the next
thirty years had he not been disabled. By
his calculations the plaintiffs attorney fig
ured out to the jury that his client would
have earned at least SIS, soils in the next
thirty years and claimed this amount as
actual damages, the balance OF $35, 900 asked
being figured in as compensation for the
mental anguish, pain and suffering Peter
son had undergone.

STORM HARD ON The WIRES
Telephone and Telegraph Companies Severe
Sufferers on Account Of sleet,
LINES LEADING WESTWARD ARE ALL DOWN
Temporary Repairs Made During the
Day, but Some Time VIII BE Re-
quired to Restore Nor
mai Conditions.

The snowstorm and accompanying drop in
the temperature Tuesday night following
the fall Of sleet earlier in the day proved
most disastrous to the telephone and tele-
graph companies. For the greater part
of Yesterday Council Bluffs was practically
cut off from communication with Omaha
by telegraph or telephone. The Western
Union and the Nebraska Telephone COM
panies we're the hardest hit. the Postal
Telegraph suffering but little damage west,
although its eastern connections were cut
off.
The main lead Of the Nebraska Telephone
company between Council Bluffs on Ninth
avenue, west Of the Union Pacific trans
fer, has about seventy-two wires and when
the sleet commenced to freeze on these
the poles were unable to stand the addi-
tional weight and one by one thcy collapsed
beneath the strain. A large force Of line
men was placed at work as early as Jos
sible and in a few hours the company had
one cable working between the two cities.
but 1t will be several days before The lam
age can be repaired and the service re-
stored to its normal condition.
The Western Union, whose main lead con-
tains about the same number of wires as
the telephone company. suffered even more
damage than the latter. It's poles, which
are located along the Union Pacific dump
came crashing to the ground with their
heavy loads of ice burdened wire. Bv /
o'clock in the morning, communication
with the west was cut of. Early yesterday
a gang of llnemen was at work. their first
efforts being devoted to secure connection
between the two cities. This was effected
by connecting the wires as they lay along
the ground over the PROSTATE poles. no
attempt being made to raise the poles Until
the western connection was secured. The
company also suffered from breaks in the
line east.
The Postal Telegraph company has not
as heavy a lead west as the Western Union
and consequently did not suffer so much.
It's poles are new and were better able
to bear the strain. East, however. this
company, suffered considerable damage ard
with the exception Of the Sioux City line
all communication east Of this over the
Postal was at a standstill Until 4 o'clock
yesterday afternoon.
The lines of the Electric Light comnanv
did not suffer to any great extent. and but
one wire of the city's fire and police alarm
system broke. This was the wire at the
Union Pacific transfer and City Electrician
bradley had 1t In working order by noon.
