About four years ago it was dis
covered that in an unjust apportion--
ment Of bridge taxes the city of Water
loo paid $4,000 more than its share in
the building Of several bridges within
the limits. The matter was brought to
the attention Of the board of superv1s-
ors, who took no action on h matter
and allowed it to drift nearly into OBJ
security. The city council in regular
session has instructed City Attorney
IN. H. Kelly to start action against
Blackhawk county to recover $4,000
due this municipality. If the super
visors refuse to recognize the claim
a suit will be instituted in the district
court.

weeks confined to his bed with a brok-
en- knee and dislocated shoulder, de-
veloped at the end of the week condf-
tions of pleuro-pneumonia; and mis-
condition has since that time been very
serious. The Judgment OF physicians
in attendance is that he Is now no
worse than he has beer and that he
may be somewhat better; but his ILL
ness will continue to occasion. grave
apprehension until there shall be a
marked change for the better. The
trouble is believed to la been fnduc-
ed as the result OF his lying constantly
on his back with his broken knee and
it is aggravated by h fact that it Is
still necessary for him to lie on his
back, instead of being urned over as
is desirable with pneumonia patients.

brothers and Joseph Dodds assaulted
him while in the own of Coon Rapids
with the intent to do great bodily in

that a jury was given and the three
brothers were tried at the same time
and Mr. Dodds demanded and secured al
trial. The case was one In
