Mason City, Jan 24.-The ruling of
the court in Boone county Friday in di-
recting a verdict for that county in the
case brought by this county for the
care of W. E. Wood and by Wood
against Boone county and j. W. Keig-
ley for damages resulting from the loss
of his feet by freezing, leaves the cases
in good shape for the supreme court,
which appeal was made by Attorney
Witwer for this county.
The point raised by the attorneys for
Boone county and upon which the court
ruled was purely one of law as to
whether one county or an individual
could sue another county for a legal
wrong. 1t is question the supreme
court has not yet definitely decided but
will have a chance in this case. The
judge at Nevada where the hearing
was held last week said that j. w
Keigley, supervisor in charge of the
poor of Boone county is answerable anc
the case against him would have beer

Webster City, Jan. 24.-Major N. P.

house in this city, is giving Webster
City an example of disciplining the

some considerable interest over the

ayers. The Freeman-Tribune and Jour-
nal offices have been stricken from the
opera house free list and the house is
being conducted with only such news
paper publicity as is given thru paid
advertisements. The papers thus far
seem to be faring pretty we'll. The
Freeman Tribune Is ignoring opera
house attractions in its news columns
and the Journal has become a free
lance. Only attractions of real merit are
now getting any f1attering notices in
Webster City. The Herald is still on
friendly terms with Manager Hyatt be-
cause, as yet, it has not roasted any
of the opera house attractions.
Trouble here between the manager
and the press has been brewing for
some time. 1t started at the opening OF
the season when the Freeman Trib-
une's critic roasted "The Girl From u.
S. A." the first offering of the year.
The young mans opera house pass
was withdrawn forthwith, tho relations
with the paper were still continued.
Some time later when the big Lyon
REVEALS opened Lena Rivers Cancelled
her date because of the union meetings.
The Journal played this up as news
item and this brought the wrath of the
manager upon its head and all rela-
tions were soon after severed. Then
along came "The Black Crook, Jr.," a
burlesque show The criticism IN the
Freeman Tribune the day following
was not friendly and advice was offered
the manager that Webster City did not
care for any further offerings OF this
class. Major Hyatt evidently did not
share the opinion expressed in the pa
per and so severed friendly relations
including free tickets.
The papers look upon the actions OF
Manager Hyatt as childish. They hole
their opinions above a few free tick
cts Major Hyatt, however, views the
matter differently. He feels they nave
been unnecessarily sharp and proposes
to discipline them in the only way oper
to him. The situation is unique-if not
Indeed, ludicrous The course of Mr.
Hyatt will be watched with no littl'
! interest by all opera house manager
l lin towns where newspapers are won
/ to express individual opinions Should
1 the major succeed in forcing the loca
press to capitulate, he will doubles
have many followers among oper
l house managers.
