ANOTHER CASE AGAINST c. G. W.
Accident on South Center Street Great
Western Crossing Made Basis Of
Suit for Damaees-Mrs. Pearl May
johnson Sues for Divorce-Other
Cases.

Friday was the last day for filing
cases for the January term of the dis
trict court, but there was not the US
ual rush on the part of attorneys to
get cases on record before it was toe
late to get them in for the term. The
day developed but four new cases, one
of them being another damage suit
against the Great Western Railroad
Company.
This suit is the result of an accident
on South Center street on the evening
of October 10, when the team, wagon
and hay rack driven by an employe OF
Frank Arson was struck by Great
Western south bound passenger train.
The petition alleges that both horses
were badly crippled and that the Wags
on and hay rack were damaged and
property carried in the rack was de-
stroyed. Damages Of $3.50 are asked.
Negligence on the part of the railroad
company is alleged, because of the
wagon was running much faster than
the city ordinances allow. and because
the engine bell was not ringing TO
warn the public, and because there
was not hagman at the crossing,
which it is claimed is also contrary to
the city ordinances.
Home Guards Are Sued.
Mrs. Bertha Hall has filed suit
against the Home Guards of the
World, q local fraternal insurance
company, to recover on a policy issued
to Elvin L. Hall. The petition says
the policy, which was for $1,000, wa
issued Jan. 25. 1907, and that Hall died
July Is Of the same year. The policy
contains clause providing that IN
case of death during the first year OF
the existence Of the policy that the
beneficiary shall receive but 60 per
cent of the face value Of the policy.
Judgment of $500 is sought.
Other Cases.
Mrs. Pearl May johnson filed Fri
day a petition in divorce from Henry
Johnson, whom she charges with cruel
and inhuman treatment. Attorneys
fees of $50 and 5000 permanent ALI
mony is sought. The couple was mar
ried in this city Feb. Is, 1905. Mrs.
Johnson's maiden name was Pearl May
Collins.
j. L. Inman has brought suit against
B. T. Cummings to collect $111.66,
which the petition alleges Cummings
collected on judgment for that
amount that 1nman secured against
Engval Erickson, and which Inman
says he refuses to pay over.

File Substitute Petition.

The Waterloo Reporter says: at
torneys Wenner & Mccoy have filed an
amended and substituted petition in
the case of Mrs. j. w. Hamilton VS.. j.
b. Meloy of LaPorte to recover $4,000
damages for SANDER The petition was
necessary on account of an order of
court in which it was desired to bring
the essential allegations before the
court in more collective order and
without superfiuty of verbiage. This
does not mean that some of the al
legations contained in the first petit
ton will be omitted, but that such
parts as are left out in the second
may be brought out by competent evil
dence during the trial of the case"

was recently appointed a government
inspector under the bureau of labor
of the department of commerce and
labor, who has been in the city for a
few days, will go to Chicago Sunday

DIR. Liebig will be in Chicago for
perhaps six weeks investigating that
cities laundries, OF. more especially
the conditions under which the women
and children are compelled to work
in them and the resulting physical eff
feet OF that work. This will take DR..
Liebig into practically all of the laun-
dries of Chicago and into many of
the homes of the women and children
employed in them. She will visit a
certain per cent of all of the homes of
the women employed, and the whole
is to be embodied later in a report to
the bureau. While she is in Chicago,
she will probably make Sunday visits
to this city, and after finishing there
will go to Michigan to investigate the
conditions under which women work
and the result of the work in the
match factories From there she will
go to New York, Philadelphia and
Durham, N. c., to investigate the en-
ployes in the cigar and cigaret fac
tories.
DR.. Liebig finds the work much to
her liking, and the bureau has asked
that she consent to an extension of
her contract, which was for six
months to one year. She has not
agreed to this, however, altho she may
continue her service under the bureau
longer than the period of six months.

Sec retary Metcalf was then able to award contracts as follows:

Boycott Threat.

Washington. June 29.-Reading be- tween the lines of the statement issued by the Japanese chamber of commerce directed to President Roosevelt and also to American chambers of com merce In Washington, there is an iin piled threat to boycott American goods. The boycott declared by Chinese mer chants against American products two years ago was productive of better con ditiofs, for the administration eXerted all it's power to ameliorate the Chinese merchants. Therefore it Is assumed th. Japanese merchants have decided to have recourse to the same method of showing their resentment against the treatment accorded their people in San Francisco. Unlike the Chinese how ever, they have first served notice of their intention upon American commer clal interests so as to afford them an opportunity to bring pressure upon the merchants of the Pacific coast.
