In THE DISTRICTCOURT
Disposition of Various Matters by
Judge and Jury.


Rutherford's suit against the Cen
trail which has been occupying the at
tention of the court, went to the jury
this morning under an instruction
from the Judge that il the typhoid
fever complained OF in the case could
not be shown to have originated in
the Iowa Central stoch yards, that tne
plaintiff could not recover from the
railroad folks. This was regarded as
very favorable to the defense.
The suit is an action brought
through Frank T. Nash and George
Lafferty for damages in which Mr.. L.
]. Rutherford claims to have suffered
extensive damages from typhoid fever
caused by the condition Of the Iowa
Central stock yards, which he declares
was bad.
The case grows out Of threatened
| typhoid epidemic in that vicinity, in
which not only the stock yards, but
the barns, cess pools, dumping grounas,
ponds, and the muck heaps in the al
| leys were condemned by the city
health officer in order to prevent the
spread of the disease.
A verdict for the defendant was lat.
er returned by ne jury. The jury
was out about an hour and returned
the verdict holding the company not
| responsible for the epidemic of ty'
phoid which threatened southwest Os'
kaloosa last summer. The disposal OF
the case will probably kill several sim.
liar suits brought by neignbors on
similar charges against the company

round of visits upon his patients. In

Of the best colleges of that day was ac-
customed to ride ten, twenty and often
thirty miles or more, visiting the sick

phenomenal. Doctors and families called
him for consultation to towns at con-

especially noted in the cure of obstinate
and distressing diseases of women He
had early discovered that by combining
the extracts of certain native medicinal
plants In just the right proportion, with
out the use of alcohol, his "Prescrip-
ton" almost invariably cured such
cases. Later, in order to place this rem

at Buffalo, N. Y, where regularly quail

in charge to accurately prepare his rPre-

rendered most valuable service. Some

wounded by preliminary Smelling at a

%"The Moros were outlaws and fanat-
les and refused to surrender to the
last, attempting repeatedly to murder
our forces who were rescuing wounded
Moros. There was no killing of any
one except such as was indispensable
to end an intolerable situation: Attack
not ordered until every resource look
ing to possible adjustment exhausted"
