Verdict for DR.. Pierce
AGAINST THE

Sending truth after a lie. II is an old
maxim that "a lie will travel seven

OF good people read the unwarranted and
malicious attack upon DR.. r. V. Pierce

In the May $500 number OF tho Ladies'

splcuous heading, published two months

BOARD OF HEALTH
MAKES INSPECTION
lFrom Thursdays pally.D


Under the guidance OF Street Com.
missioner Warren three members Of
the board Of health made trips over
various parts of the town yesterday
afternoon. They will embody the
substance Of their observations in a
report to the council next Tuesday.
The party drove through the al
leys over most OF the town and on
the whole found conditions OF alleys
and premises 10 be good. In only a
few places were the conditions de-
serving Of sharp criticism but In
many places the existence OF alley
closets not connected with the sew
or made a nuisance which with the
coming Of warm weather will create
a menace to the public health. In
most cases the open closets were To-
Gated on rented property. The board
will notify the owners OF the proper
ty TO make the necessary improve
ments as soon as the work can be
done. The water shortage which
has been given as an excuse for not
making the connection can no long
er be given as a valid pretext and
the city will push the matter OF
sewer connections in every case.
The party also made a trip to the
sewerage disposal plant north OF
town. The work at the plant is be-
ing done successfully but the plant
needs several improvements which
will be recommended by the board.

After an exhaustive review OF the
evidence by the attorneys on both
sides and spirited discussion of
the principles involved the Cowans
case for $4,000 against the Denver
road went to the jury this afternoon.
The case involves a great deal Of
evidence and has been tried several
times before so the common opinion
is that the jury will have consider
able difficulty in reaching a verdict.

cess, Yesterday the suit Of the T.
Carrabine company against L. O.

Judge Browning granted the divorce
at special hearing yesterday. Gus
Bader, who did not appear in the

der case last fall. He bears a de-
cidedly unfavorable reputation.
Hope to Conclude Goodman Case.
The court was occupied all day
with the Goodman case but hoped
to close the case and send 1t to the
Jury this afternoon. This is the
suit OF j. r. Goodman and wife
against the Rock Island for failure
to put the railroad in operation after
the plaintiffs had sold or rather CIV

COWAN'S JURY
IS STILL OUT

tFrom Fridays Daily Panhandle.)
For over twenty-four hours the
jury in the Cowans case has been out
and this afternoon there was appar-
emily no ground for expecting a de-
cislon at an early date and It is COM
monty advanced that the jury will
not reach verdict. The plaintiff
asks for 100000 from the Denver
road on the grounds which have
been outlined in the Daily Panhan-
die. The plaintiff contended that the
road had set the car from which he
was to unload at a certain place and
mad further Indicated that such =
crossing should be used by the team
sters. This crossing, however, was
defective and caused the accident
which manned the plaintiff.
Goodman Damage Case Up.
This afternoon the court took up
another case which will require
long and tedious trial. 1t is the case
OF j. r. Goodman against the C. o.
& G, railway for damages from fail
ure of the company to construct and
operate the road after the right OF
way had been secured and the road
made. This case was tried at the
last term of the court but the jury
failed to reach verdict Hall G
Frederlcks represent the plaintiffs
and Madden & Truelove and others
will represent the defendant which
is now THE Rock Island system.
