THE SIGNAL WORKED
Police Quickly Called and Robbers
Are Caught.

The Albert Lea tMinn) Evening
Tribune gives an account in Fridays
paper Of an attempted robbery of the
warehouse of the Albert Lea Hide
and Fur Co., of which Abe Hirsch,
brother of Fred Hirsch of the Bee
Hive Bargain House. is manager. The
two criminals were caught red-handed
while in the act of prying open the
vault in which hundreds of dollars
worth of valuable furs were stored, at
about 8 o'clock at night. Mr.. Hirsch
is particularly enthusiastic over the
success of the flash light method of
calling the police used in Albeit Lea,
which made possible the capture OF
the two robbers before they had ac-
|complished their purpose. When he
was informed that burglars were in
the warehouse he telephoned to cen
trail that the police were needed, and
the red lights located on the main in.
|tersections of Broadway were turned
on and the members of the city ipo,
lice force quickly responded. 1t was
on the suggestion of Mr.. Hirsch that
these lights were installed, and they
have served in number of emergen'
| cies to great advantage.

WOULD ENJ0IN RINK
Traction Company Com plains of
Too Much Noise.

Claiming that the roller skating
rink now being conducted by j. NJ
Hagan and David Lewis on the sec
ond floor of the building on the corner
OF High avenue West and A street, on
the first floor of which are located
the general offices and waiting room
of the Oskaloosa Traction & Light Go.
creates such noise, and disturbance
that the roar and din has become a
nuisance and makes the occupancy of
the first floor inconvenient and UNI
comfortable and deprecites the rental
value of. the same, H. W.. Garner, as
manager of the Oskaloosa Traction &
Light Co., through his attorneys, Lacey
& Lacey, has filed a petition with the
clerk of the district court asking for
writ of injunction restraining the
proprie>ors from conducting the roller
skating rink therein and restraining
the owners of the property from rent.
ing the building for such purposes.
The defendants in the action are j.
ors of the skating rink, and Helen
Henderson and Alma Clark, owners OF
the building. The petition states that
since August of last year the first story
of the building has been occupied by
the Oskaloosa Traction & Light Co.
for offices and waiting room and that
the premises have been especially pre-
pared for such occupancy at a cost to
the plaintiff of about $4,000 and that
the first story of the building was
leased to the plaintiff for period OF
ten years, until February, 1917, at the
rate of 81 900 per year. On or about
October ~, 1908. it is claimed that the
defendants, Henderson, q, and Clark,
leased the second story of the building
to Messrs. Hagans and Lewis for a
period of two years for use as, roller
skating rink, and that the plaintiff
objected to the transaction but was
told that by making the floor smooth
and by the use of rubber roller skates
the affair could be conducted practical
ly without noise. 1t is further stated
in the petition that the disturbance
| and inconvenience alleged to be sus-
! tanned as the result of the roller skat-
ing rink cannot be compensated in
damages and that irreparable dam
damages will be sustained if the de-
PENDANTS are not enjoined, wherefore
a temporary writ of injunction is ask
ed, to be made permanent upon final
hearing. 2.
Judge Clements made an order Fri
day setting the case for hearing on
next Saturday, December IL, upon
the application for temporary wri,
of injunction.

am and at present a patient at the

principals, was unraveled by Hon. w.
G. Clements in the district court Fri
day by tleing tighter the knot which
bound the hearts and fortunes of Mr..
and Mrs. Ketcham and which Mrs,
Ketcham was petitioning to have cast
|asunder. She had come into court
through her attorneys, Nelson & Dav-
i'd, for the purpose of securing d.
vorce from her husband, Uriah Ketch
am, but he in turn filed an answer,
through Attorneys Burrell & Dewitt,
denying that they were man and wife
and alleging that one Thos r. Lind,
ley, now said to be an inmate of the
state hospital. was the lawfully wed.
Odd husband Of the plaintiff. Mr..
KNtrfam then pctitiOned the court to
Il, care mis- marriage null and void.
1t appeared that Mrs. ketcham had
been married to Mr.. Lindley a nun.
Der of years ago and that she had sued
him for divorce in 1895. At that
time Mr.. Lindley filed cross petition
and the divorce of mis- wife was re.
fused and Judge A. r. Dewey granted
the husband q decree. Through some
technically, the legality Of the divorce
was disputed and upon that point
hinged the legality of Mr.. Ketcham's
marriage. Judge Clements held, how
ever, that the decree entered on Dec
4, 1895, should be confirmed and held
sufficient and he refused the divorce
prayed for, This legalizes the mar.
riage of Mr.. and Mrs. Ketcham, when
each was petitioning for separation.
