Germ Must Pay $4,000 For Injuries

In the Franklin County case OF
Ernest F. Miner against the Vermont
Power and Manufacturing Company
and the Franklin County Telephone
Company, the judgment of the lower
court awarding the plaintiff the sum
of $4,000 was sustained, the opinion
being read by Judge Munson. The
Telephone Company and the Powe :
Company at one time had an agree
ment concerning the mutual use Of
certain poles and while the agreement
was in force, the plaintiff was en-
ployed as a lineman for the Power
Company and holding both com.
ranies responsible for negligence,
he sued each one. The court held
that the plaintiff was in the perform
ance OF his duty when the accident
occurred and that the responsibility
was on the defendant.

manded the cause with mandate.

Orange County, in which case fraud
and concealment is charged, the

quarry was later located and found to
he worth $4,000. She claims she
had never seen the land and relied on
the information furnished by Beedle
when she sold the property Judge
Hasleton read the opinion in which
the cause was remanded.
In the Chittenden County case of S.
A. Ploof VS.. H. w. Putnam, the
judgment of the lower court award
ing the plaintiff $3.50 and costs
was affirmed. The court held that
Putnam had no right to cut the plain.
tiffs boat from it's landing, it being
occupied by him at the time, and a
storm came up during which the
plaintiff almost lost his life.
The defendant in the case of Hattie
Willard against E. F. Norcross, Es-
sex County, asked for a change of
venue, but this was denied by tn
court with costs. The case has been
tried twice in the lower courts.
In the Windham County case of
L. S. Niles against the estate of A
NJ. Carleton an appea! from commits
sioners, the judgment of the lower
court was affirmed and ordered Ger
titled to the Probate Court.

Grand Isle County case of r. K
Hathaway against d l.. Dodds.

Public Service Commission Makes
Report in Regard to Fatal Accident
mt Newport.

dt NtNpOTts
In regard to the fatal accident to
James A. Johnson at Newport, Dec
ember 10, on the Boston and Maine
road, the Public Service Commission
lays no blame on anyone unless pos
sibly Mr.. Johnson himself. The
commission says mo blame can be
attached to the fireman because he
was unfamiliar with the local condi-
lions and what he did was at the
direction and under the supervision
of Mr.. Johnson, who apparently took
no pains to see that his engine was
clear of track No. 6. Mr.. Johnson
was caught between his engine and
a colliding freight while oiling the
bearings and received injuries from
which he died.

TUESDAYS STRENGTH vANlsHEs
BECAUSE OF DECREASED
DEMAND.
COMMISSION HOUSE SELLING
PARTICIPATED IN BY LONGS
strons Demand For Corn Prevents
Market From Yielding to Wheat
5reak-commission Houses Active
Buyers - Oats Steady in the EARLY
Tradins-Ranse of Prices.

Chicago, Jan. 5-Responsive to the
decreased demand for wheat yester-
days strength in wheat vanished in
the early trades today. The decline
ranged from 1s@A to " in different
futures. General commission selling
strong in which prominent longs parti-
cipated freely overcame the underlying
bullish sentiment and caused the initial
falling off. Liverpool cables were
easier. May opened at LAS to LAS,
and held within that range in the early
trading. Receipts in Chicago. Min
neapolis and Duluth were 444 cars.
A rally bringing May wheat to LAS
was followed by sharp easing off to
cent below yesterdays closing figures.
May closed NOS lower at 1.13A.
Corn.
A strong demand for corn kept the
market from yielding to the break in
wheat the buying being from scattered
commission houses. May opened at u
Oh higher at 67A to Sly, and fell off
slightly in the first hour. Receipts
we're 526 cars.
May closed only shade lower than
yesterday at 67A
Oats.
Oats were steady in the early trad
ing. May opened at 461s. Receipts

CAUSE OF COAL SHORTAGE.
Representative of Mine Operators Put
Blame on Railroads.

Davenport, Jan. Al. w. McKown,
on behalf of the coal mining operators,
says the present coal shortage is due
entirely to the impaired service of the
railroads. Mr. McKown said that he
had report yesterday wherein it was
stated that fifty cars Of coal which the
company had billed to- its different
customers were confiscated by the rail-
road at Bartlett and the customers
were thereby deprived of necessary
fuel.
Mr.. McKown said that the present
shortage was the cause of much in
convenience to the operators in that the
proper number of cars for hauling the
coal We're not forthcoming and with
this situation to face the operators
were powerless to mine any COAL He
said that on last Thursday because
Wednesdays coal had not been taken
away by the railroad company and the
necessary cars pushed in for loading,
the miners lay in absolute idleness,
and the already suffering consumers
were deprived of it's $1,000 tons daily
output. The failure on the part of
the railroad company to pull the cars
is obviously due to a greatly reduced
locomotive power.

result of bad weather conditions. Now,
however, the country appears to be
taking little saner view of conditions
ahead. There are reported, however,
big number of cattle ready to move,
the owners of which are only awaiting
a more favorable situation in railway
traffic which will admit of shipping
with less risk of long delays enroute
consequent to cold weather and storms.
In the west the heavy snowstorm
was taken by the trade to forecast a
moderate supply of stock later this
week.

Prime heavy sheep were in demand
and sold strong to 10 cents higher

for City Hall.

Special to Times Republican.
Mason City, Jan. 5.-The plans of
Mayor Kirshman for a magnificent
new city hall were frustrated today
when the city council held confer
ence with the county board of super
visors to make arrangements for the
leasing of the ground floor Of the Ger
no Gordo county court house for per-
iod of five years, to be used by the city
officers. Arrangements were practically
closed fe- the leasing of the rooms
Mayor Kirshman is put out consider
able by the action of the council and
declares that he will veto their action
in this matter.
The council takes the stand that the
growth of the city will necessitate the
building of larger structure after the
five years have passed and by that
time the city will be sufficiently large
to be able to build one in accordance
with the demands.

this part Of the country with one OF
the most successful seasons Of ice har-

Of the present thickness and quality

The ice this year is not only of unusual

The weather has been favorable to
a large ice crop since early in the fall,

Cedar Rapids, Jan. 5.-John Mas
hama, one of the younger men of the
Muskwaki reservation, has for some
time been accounted good Indian"

a large valise in his right hand, Dr.
Smith, the missionary, and Mr.. Talbert,
the assistant farmer, "smelled MICE"

carrying. Beef" was Mashana's laconic
reply; and when he was finally COM
PEELED to open the valise it was found
that he had told the truth-partly; but
he was also found to be carrying sew
eral large bottles of red liquor, altho
how they happened to be in the valise
was a mystery to Johnnie couldn't re-
member anything.
So Deputy U. S. Marshal Healy Of

was filed against Mashana, charging
him with bringing liquor onto the res
ervation in violation of the laws of the
United States, and he was thrown into

an opinion rendered here, holds that

1910, the date on which the mortgage
on the Rock Island and the Clinton
theaters operated in his name expires,
pay to w. J. Bryson the money that
was borrowed, the sum Of $10,620, or
the theaters would be transferred to
Mr.. Bryson by bills OF sales. This
terminated for the time being the
theater war which has been waged be-
tween Mr.. Bryson and Mr.. Soddni and
which was finally. left to Judge Barker
for his decision. In the case Sodini
claimed that the sum OF $4,000 which
he borrowed from Mr.. Bryson was Sc
cured by what he thought was q chat
tel mortgage but which in reality was
a bill of sale. MIR. Bryson brought
suit to recover the amount involved.

at her home in Miller S. D., few days
ago, aged 100 years and one week. She

Her father saw all the events Of the
revolutionary period and participated
in some of them. While she reached
the advanced age of 100 years, her
health was remarkably good, and only
few hours before she died was there
evidence of physical collapse.
