Decision of Importance In the
Boone County Mutual Tele-
phone Case Is Rendered
BELL COMPANY is BLOCKED
Endeavor to Make Contracts With the
Small Independent Companies For
Toll Line Connections at Better Fig
ures Stopped by Existing Agree
ments.
Special to Times-Republican.

Boone, Dec. 2s.-A decision Of wide
Importance to the Independent and
Bell telephone interests had been
handed down by Judge Bremen at
Des Moines. in which he sustained the
injunction of the Boone Telephone
Company against the Farmers Mu-
tual Telephone Company of Grimes.
The injunction compels the latter to
fulfill it's contract for a period of years
with the Boone county company. In
cidentally the decision prevents small,
independent companies breaking their
contracts with the mutual toll system
and connecting with the Bell lines.
The case was hard fought, five days
being occupied in obtaining evidence
and submitting the arguments and the
result was a great surprise, as the
real scope of the case was not grasped
until the last moment.
Recently, it is said, the Bell inter-
ests endeavored to secure contracts
with the small mutuals turnout the
state, Offering better terms than the
mutual line toll companies The ma
jority of the mutual companies are
linked together for terms of years by
contracts. entered into when the Bell
interests refused to connect with In
dependents. The Bell interests began
connecting with the independents less
than a year ago.
Facts in Present Case.
A few years ago the Farmers Mu-
tual Of Grimes was organized. Snort
ly afterwards it entered into con-
tract with the Boone County Telephone
company whereby it was to have &C
cess to all subscribers on the latter's
lines, and vice versa. One of the pro-
visions Of the contract was that II
either company should not comply, the
other was to give them fifteen days
notice in which to remedy the defect.
If it was not remedied, the other was
to have redress in damages or at lib
erty to terminate the contract.
Later the Farmers Mutual built an
exchange at Grimes and extended a
line to Waukee. From Waukee to Des
Moines the Hawkeye Telephone Com
pany operates line According to
an agreement between the indepen-
QenCS. Ine I1dWhSSC, sAAS A'O
and three other lines have the same
terminals in Des Moines.
In this the difficulty arose. Parples
in Des MONIES wanting subscribers TO
the Farmers Mutual of Grimes and
who resided near Waukee would get
them over the Hawkeye lines, that be-
ing the more direct route. However,
it proved more costly and the Grimes
company entered objections, demand
ing the longer but cheaper service. NO
tice was served on the Boone County
Telephone Company and they took
steps to comply and used the long

the explosion of the boiler of engine
No. 1885, en- Dec. 10, 1904, in Scott
county, Iowa, the explosion being due

Such was the verdict returned by

quire into the death of the engineer
and fireman Of the Rock Island en-
CINE which exploded four miles west Of
Davenport q week ago last Sunday.
The inquest was resumed in Coroner
LAmbach's Office yesterday morning at
10 o'clock. Among the witnesses ex-
amined were the engineer and fireman
OF the Inflated engine, the master me-
chanic at Valley Junction, and two
boiler experts Of Davenport. The evil
dence demonstrated to the satisfaction
Of the jury that the accident was
caused by an insufficient amount of
water in the boiler. but the exact rea-
son for this the jury did not attempt
to determine. No blame for the ex-
plosion was placed on any one, and
the responsibility for the accident will
probably never be fixed.
