WANTS WHAT'S COMING
Iowa Falls Laundry Company Burned
Out Over Year Aso-sues Illinois
and Iowa Companies For Insurance
Of $4,000.


Special to Times Republican.
Iowa Falls, Nov. 6.-Two cases have
been filed in the district court of this
county will be watched with inter-
est in insurance circles of the state.
The actions are brought by the Iowa
Falls Laundry Company against the
German Fire Insurance Company of IL
linois and the Standard Fire Insurance
Company of this state. In both cases
w. n. Stevens, of Minneapolis, is made
a defendant. The plaintiff asks judg-
ment for $1,000 in each case, including
interests and cost since Sept. so, 1908.
when the laundry of the plaintiff in this
city was destroyed by fire.
Each company held a policy on the
property and both have refused to
make any kind of settlement with the
plaintiff, hence these legal steps to en-
force an adjustment of the claims. The
insurance was written for the plaintiff
in the two companies by an agency in
Cedar Rapids and, within reasonable
time after the fire, proofs of loss were
filed with the respective companies, but
no attention seems to have been paid
to the claims, at least the plaintiff
claims to have exhausted all reason
able means to effect a settlement but
without success.
w. n. Stevens, who is an electrician
on a coast train out of Minneapolis,
claims some right, title or interest in
the policies thus brought into litigation
and the plaintiff asks in the petition
that this interest be set aside as null
and void, or be held subject to or i'm
ferior to the interests of the plaintiff.

A PLETHORA OF POTATOES.
Early Cold Snap Caused Producers to
Flood the Market.

Sioux City. Nov. 5.-Potatoes are
plentiful at this juncture, thanks to
Jack Frost. Early this fall the report
went out that there would be a scarcity
of "murphies" on account of the ex-
IRENE prosperity of the farmers. which
would make it possible for them to hold
their crop for fancy winter prices
In the presence of such a situation
the sudden cold snap of Oct. IL averted
such a result by chilling a large part
of the potato crop in the ground. Pro-
ducers turnout this section lost conf
dence in the keeping qualities of the
fall crop on that account. and for two
weeks have flooded the market With
potatoes. There has been scarcely Il
movement in the market this week.
Dealers already have stocked up for the
winter, private families have filled their
cellars and further relief may be ex
pected in the form of lower prices.
