Cannot Sue for Mental Anguish.

Webster City, Ia, Jan. II The
big damage suit of Charles Rowan, Of
Webster City, against the Western
Union Telegraph Company. was
brought to sudden and dramatic
close in the federal court at Fort
Dodge, all because Judge Reed of Du-
buque, who is presiding over the
court, refused to recognize mental
anguish, unaccompanied by physical
injury, as sufficient grounds for
recovery. The telegraph company
demurred to Rowan's petition on the
grounds that mental anguish alone
was too intangible a thing upon
which to make recovery. Judge Reed
sustained the demurrer and The case
has been thrown out OF court.
Rowan is a farmer residing south.
west of Webster City. On June is,
1903, a message was sent him from
Gibson, Ill, notifying him of the

Union failed to deliver it in time and

suit in the federal court asking
damages In the sum of s., 900.
