Restaurant Owner, Fighting For Legal

Restaurant Owner, Fighting For Legal
Rights to Children, Not Discouraged.
Carl Peterson, the Third avenue res
taurant owner whose participation IN
a sensational Chicago episode in trying
to establish his legal rights to his fos-
ter children became public q few days
ago, reached home Thursday from Chi
cagO.
Mr. Peterson is far from discouraged
over the outcome of the case, and be-
lieyes that the court will restore to him
the custody of his adopted daughter,
Jacobina Peterson, aged Is, who, MI.
Peterson says, is now being held under
the Jurisdiction Of the juvenile court.
awaiting hearing in the district court
on Jan. IS, and a hearing in the federal
court under the Mann white slave act
on the day following.
Mr. Peterson and his wife are heart
broken over the turn affairs have taken.
and it has made them feel that the
kind acts they have performed for
friendlcss children are not appreciated,
to say the least.
Peterson tells an interesting story.
He and his family came here from
Cedar Falls. In March. 1895. while
living at that place on a dairy farm a
mile out of town, Jacob Olson died.
leaving a widow, Matilda. and one SON,
Johannas, 3 years old. While the
father was sick the Petersons, who then
had no children Of their own, took the
boy and cared for him. On May Z, fol-
lowing the fathers death, Mrs. Olson
gave birth to a daughter at the home
Of Mrs. Peterson's father. Nels Madsen,
still resident Of Cedar Falls. The
little girl was christened Jacobina in
memory Of her father. Before Olson's
death the Petersons were requested,
according to Mr.. Peterson, to adopt the
boy, for the mother, soon to give birth
to another babe. was not able to care
for him. The adoption papers were
made out and recorded at Waterloo one
and one -half months before Jacob OIL
son died. After Mrs. Olson had re-
covered from her confinement she asked
Mr.. and Mrs. Peterson to take her
daughter, Mr.. Peterson AYERS, and when
little Jacobina was months old she
was legally adopted by Mr.. and Mrs.
Peterson. Johannas and Jacobina have
been reared by the Petersons and are
now IS and is years old.
Two years ago the boy. wanting to

for that city and never returned.
Peterson says he never felt easy about
the lad, and on June II, 1910 Peterson
left for Chicago to see how the boy
was doing. It had been reported to
him that Mrs. Olson, who had married
a man named Durant and later separ-
ated from him. had gone to Indiana to
live, but when Peterson called at what
had been the Durant home he found
Mrs. Durant there. Peterson did not
like the surroundings. and tried to get
the boy to return to Iowa, but the boy
refused.
The day before Christmas, Peterson
says, his foster son came to this city,

RECORD OF LOCAL WEATHER
STATION Is EcLlPsEp ~ ONE
DEGREE.
MINIMUM REACHED
WAS 81 BELOW ZERO
Maximum For Thursday Was 10 Be-
low, and at Noon To-day the Govern.
nent Instrument Registered 10 Be.
iow-Prsvious Record at Government
Station Was 80 Below.

BY one degree Of temperature all rec
ords of the local government weather
station went glimmering today when
the instrument recorded 81 below zero
as the minimum during Thursday
night. This is one degree colder than
ii was last Saturday night. and the
preceding 80 below weather had not
been experienced since February, 1905.
The cold wind that blew from the
north all day Thursday, drifting the
snow and being accompanied by
fresh. but small supply. made the
weather appear even colder Thursday
than the mercury indicated. This
was not strange, however, for the gov
eminent instrument could not be
coaxed above 10 below at the Warmest
period of the entire day. At o'clock
this morning 81 was registered, and at
9 o'clock the weather had moderated
to 81 below. At noon today, with the
sun shining brightly, Is below was re-
corded. The precipitation in Thurs
DAVIS snowfall amounted to .04 of an
inch.
Warmer Weather Predicted.
Slowly rising temperature is the en-
coura cement held out by the govern
ment observation for the next twenty
four hours, but unless the moderation
is noticeably greater during the after
noon than it was this forenoon, another
bitterly cold night is ahead. With l0
below the maximum for Thursday. and
Is below recorded at noon today. there
will necessarily have to be a marked
rise during the afternoon to prevent
the mercury from eclipsing last nights
record tonight.
During the noon hour and early this
, afternoon the temperature had moder-
| ated some. At 1880 this afternoon the
government thermometer showed II
below zero.

Water Freezes and
Engine Can't Move

Because enginemen on the Chicago
Great Western passenger No. 3, due
into this city at 5:48 p. m, were un-
able to shut of the water at the tank
at Reinbeck Thursday evening, the
water froze about the engine wheels SO
rapidly that the big machine could not
be budged either way.
AS the quantity of water around the
wheels increased, the ice formation was
likewise augmented, and it was some
time before the water was shut of.
orders were sent to Waterloo for
another engine and crew. and the
train was finally dug out Of Its casing
Of ice. The train reached this city al
9 o'clock this morning.
