Moody VS.. Mahaska county was COM
pIeted Monday evening and the argu-
ments begun. Attorney C. Yer Ploeg
for the plaintiff offered the opening
plea, County Attorney Jas. c. Patter-
son speaking in defense OF the county
this morning and Attorney S. V. Rey-
holds closing the plaintiffs argument.
an accident occurring in Scott town
ship in the west part of the county, re-
sulting from an alleged broken bridge.
He claims one of his horses ives in
lured bodily and that both were badly
frightened and his wagon broken. The
county claims that as soon as the
break had been reported the bridge
had been barricaded to prevent acct
dents and that some one, for whose
actions the county is not responsible,
must have removed the barricades be-
fore Mr.. Moody drove along.
County Attorney Jas. G. Patterson
won the damaeg suit against the coun-
ty brought by VIM. Moody for alleged
injury to his horses, resulting from
their falling through broken bridge
in Scott ownship. The defense offer
ed by the county attorney was that
the horses were in reality not dam
Iaged perceptibly and that the county
was not responsible for the accident,
as the board of supervisors had taken
the precaution to have the bridge bar
ricaded until repairs could be made,
and that if the 'barricades were remov-
ed it was by some one for whose &C
tons they were not responsible. The
jury returned a verdict for the defend
ant about two o'clock Tuesday after.

FOOT BALL
Played a Tie Game.

The town football team of this city
drove over to What Cheer Sunday,
where they met the town team of that
place Sunday afternoon and neither
side was successful in making any
points. The local team tried a num-
Der of forward passes and worked
them successfully. but in the most of
the game the old style of bucking the
line and running the ends was used
by both teams. The Oskaloosa play
ers say that the What Cheer team
should read a 1909 Rule Book" as
they were somewhat stale when it
came to applying the rules. Several
times on kicks a local player would
signal for a fair catch, but the What
Cheer fellows would pay no attention
and tackle the man just the same.
The referee in several such instances
showed that he was not upIto-date in
his decisions. The lineup of the To-
cal team was: l.. e., Shelton; l. t.,
Hyles; lg.. P.Bullers; c.. Pearson;
Stringfellow; r. t, Read; r. e., Wort
man; g., w. Buffers; |. h., Sullivan;
r. b., Blattner; full, grimes. The
subs were: Jones, Garner and Pilgrim.
Walter Pilgrim. manager of the team,
reports a number of open dates that
he would like to fill with other teams.

of which the following specimens are
among the most choice:

make to the same end.
"You are very good to them, Ed
ward-oh! very good How can I
ever thank your" said Lady Car,
with tears in her eyes. Her nerves
had been little shaken by that
shock, and by the vain perception
that stole over her of two parties in
the family, two that would become
more distinctly two by the progress
of years, unlike in nature and consti-

even this mild expression of opinion

say before her. She looked at him

was full of pain. HE is only child,
she said, apologetically, "and then he
will get that at school," She could
not contradict him, and she could not
argue with him. Poor little Tom
he was her own, though he might not
be all she wished him to be-the
plea rose to her lips unconsciously
that he was fatherless, that he had
drawbacks to contend against, poor
child. What plea to form even I'M
consciously in her mind. She looked
at her husband with such troubled
and wistful appeal that his heart
smote him. He laid his hand upon
her head caressingly, and stopped to
kiss her.

will be all right, Car. He has plenty
of spirit, and that is the best thing
after all. Ready, Tom? Come along,
then. I'm ready, too"

There are lots of nasty things in
life that are true, admits the New
Haven Register. Perhaps we are des-
tined to have some more of them
worked into the plot of the play
wright who is striving for sensation,
but we hope not. These true things
in life are not covered up to any ex-
tent that would hinder progress. The
newspaper tells the millions of them
everp day. That is the newspapers
business-to set down the record just
as It happens. That the stage does
not have to do, and the sooner some
persons get the notion out of their
heads the better it will be for the
stage and for us all.
