UNION SUIT CAUSES LAW SUIT.
Six Years Fight Over Underwear Get'
Into Court.

TITO SOuTIs
Special to Times Republican.
Sioux City, Aug. 21.-Six years con-
tention over the collection of a bill for
d suit Of underwear valued att $3.50,
was brought to a climax by a. suit
filed in the district court by the Moen
Clothing Company against n. G. Pot
tenger. The amount alleged due is
$3.50 with interest since May 9, 1908
and is for furnishings. This is one of
the smallest accounts upon which suit
has even been brought in the distric:
court, and promises to be bitterly con-
tested by both parties.
In the petition of the clothing con-
Germ, statement is made that Pottenger
acknowledged the account The de-
PENDANT states that he admits each
item except the one for the suit OF
underwear. Claim is made by Potten-
ger that the disputed item was paid
and he is willing to settle for the re-
mainder Of the bill.
The petition shows that the account
was opened Sept. 26i 1902, and on
Nov. 5, the much disputed union suit
valued at $3.50, was bought, which
with the other purchases made total
Of $3.50.
An accounting was had on May 9,
1903, and the argument renewed over
payment for the underwear. No con-
clusion was reached and the matter
has been hanging fire ever since, dur
ing which time attempts to settle the
account have broken up in heated ar
guments, and the means Of settlement
is now to resort to the district court.

ing from badly infected arm as the
result Of bite on the wrist by a

of blood poisoning which has occurred
here recently. from the same cause.
Miss Shepherd thought nothing Of the
bite at first, but in short time the
place on her wrist began to feel sore,
and 1t grew worse so rapidly that she
consulted physician. Upon examina-
ton 1t was found that blood poisoning
had set in, and the infection now ex-
tends from her wrist to the elbow. 1t
is thought the poisoning resulted from
scratching the bite with the finger
nails. The case is quite serious one,
but is doing as well as could be ex-
pected.

Iowa Falls, Aug. 21.--J. Mccarthy.
of Bellevue, is at the hospital in this
city. his life hanging by a thread as
the result of an accident at Ackley.
He was aboard westbound passenger
train on the Illinois Central, and as the
train neared the station, he alighted.
1t must have been that he miscalcu-
lated the speed of the train, and either
received the injuries by being drawn
under the trucks, or by a fall as he
struck the ground. No one saw the ac-
cident sufficiently well to state just
how it occurred. When the man was
picked up and the company's physi-
clan called, it was found that he was
in q precarious condition, and SO was
brought to the hospital here for atten-
ton. The railroads physician, Dr. w.
NJ. Morton, took charge Of the case, and
found that the mans skull on the left
side was badly crushed, and the brain
is thought to be injured. His night arm
was broken, and his left leg was so
badly mangled from the ankle to the
knee that amputation was necessary
near the knee. The man has not re-
gained consciousness since the acct
dent, so little can be learned Of him.

Forest City, Aug. 21.--This town is
stirred up over the disappearance of
Charley Johnson, who has been oper-
ating a livery stable, and who has
been missing for about a week. Upon
investigation, it was found that he
had been trading off horses that were
covered by mortgage, and this accom-

decamped without leaving his change
of address with the postmaster, or
even telling his friends goodbye.
Coming to this country some four
years ago from Sweden, Johnson
prospered, and last fall bought the liv-
cry stock of M. u. Thompson, who
now resides in Minneapolis, paying a
cash payment and giving mortgage
on the property to secure the balance.
He was of a rather quiet disposition,
and also saving, apparently. Mr..
Thompson, who holds the mortgage,
came down from Minneapolis, and upon
arrival seized everything left and will
offer same at sheriff's sale to satisfy
mortgage. He recovered all the bug
giles, but reports five horses missing.
and 1t is doubtful if he can recover
the horses. as it is understood that

Besides trading off the horses. it
is understood that he left several out
