LUNDY WINS CASE.
Suit Growing Out Of Granite Business
Decided by JUDGE Lee.

Special to Times Republican.
Eldora, March 29.-Judge Lee has
fled his findings in the case of B. 7.
Oldham VS.. E. H. Lundy, which was
tried before Judge Lee last october,
and which he has had under advise
ment for all Of this time.
The suit gre won't of q contract
which was entered into between these
parties and at a time when Mr.. Lundy
was selling a granite business in Ell
dora to Mr. Oldham. Under the terms
of the contract Mr.. Eundy agreed not
to be engag ed in granite business in
competition with Mr.. Oldham in certain
counties adjoining Eldora. At the same
time Mr.. Lundy was interested in
granite firm in Algona. 1t was the con-
tention OF Mr.. Oldham that statesmen
employed by Mr.. Lundy had trespassed
upon the territory which had been re-
served TO Mr.. Oldham and the action
was brought seeking to enjoin Mr.
Lundy from any interference with this
territory.
The evidence OF the trial showed that
previous to the time Of the com mence-
rnent Of the injunction suit, Mr.. Lundy
had sold his interest in the business
at Algona and was not engaged in the
granite business.
The finding Of Judge Lee was that
while there had been al instance in
which the salesman employed by Mr..
Lundy had sold monument in the ter
ritory. the sale was without damage to
Mr. Oldham. and in regard TO the real
merits of the controversy Judge Lee
said: THE plaintiffs evidence i'm
pressed the court that plaintiff was
inspired by a desire to expose trifling
grievances rather than the feeling that
he had or would suffer any substantial
injury, and such impressions do not
appeal TO the conscience Of a court Of
equity"
Mr.. Oldham and Mr. Lundy were
formerly in business together, in Ell
cora, under the name Of the Eldora
granite works.

Sight Has Been Gradually Coming

West-knows Old Friends Only by
Their Voices, Faces Being Unfamiliar.

Cedar Falls. March 2a.-Mrs. A. W.
Rich is receiving the congratulation of
her many friends upon the remarka BILE
restoration Of her power Of sight. For
Everything that medical skill and the
judgment OF the most noted eye spe-
cialists of the country could offer or
suggest failed to produce any beneficial
effects. During the long years of dark
ness she never once gave up that she
was always to be blind. In some way
she believed that in time her vision
would be restored For the past year
it has been apparent that her faith
was to be rewarded and gradually the
burden was lifted until now she is able
to so about unaided. She can easily
distinguish objects and can do house
work with apparent ease.
The greatest surprise has come TO her
in a recognition of friends. These she
has known and recognized by their
voices Now when she meets them
face to face she is not quite able to
place her new found acquaintance as
that she is able to put voice and fea-
lures together she is rapidly getting out
Of her embarrassment The other day
she went out 10 the college IN which her
husband. the genial and compartment Bile

she had known by voice all these years
She had formed an idea of how each
one looked. but her imagination played
her false in almost every instance. She
thought she would know President
Seerley on sight because she had
faint recollection of how he looked years
ago. but then he had Whiskers and was
not so heshy as now. When she found
herself in his presence she had no idea
who he was until he spoke to her.
OF course Mrs Rich has not seen her
husband for nearly twenty years and
within a few days she starts to meet
him in the Adirondack mountains. in
the northea stern part of New York
state. where he is developing a mining
proposition that good judges declare
will some day make him fortune. She
will make the journey all alone and

wife will afford spectacle of rare in
