SUPREME COURT TO DECIDE.
Will Determine Who Is Required tC
Clean Sidewalks.

According to a decision of the district
court at Concordia, Cloud county, the
city ordinance of Topeka which re-
quires people to clean the snow and ice
off their sidewalks in winter within "a
hours after it falls is not of much ac-
count
Concordia had such an ordinance. An
old man named Silas S. Evans fell on
a slippery walk and was injured. He
sued the city for $1,000 damages, and
after his attorney had stated his case
to the court, the city moved for a judg
ment on the facts as stated, on the
ground that they did not state suffi-
cient cause for action. The court grant
ed the motion, and gave judgment for
the city, Mr.. Evans being obliged to
paw the costs, amounting to about $50.
Evans appeals the case to the supreme
court.
