Wins $4,000 Damage Suit.

The damage suit brought by Bird
against the Hart Parr Co. of Charles
City for injuries received some two
years ago as result of falling into
an unguarded pit on the company's
premises, and which has been occupy
ing the attention of court the past
ten days, went to the jury Saturday
evening. After being out several
hours the jury brought in a verdict
which allowed the plaintiff damages
to the amount of $4,000. The orig
inal claim was for $4,000, but as
near as can be learned the amount
awarded is a fair compensation. The
case has been closely contested and
has been the center of a good deal
of interest, many spectators being
present each day during its progress.

PRAIRIE CHICKENS PLENTIFUL
Ackley, Iowa Farmers Report Birds
More Numerous Than For
Many Years.

Ackley, Ia, Feb. 12.-Everywhere
in this snow covered section comes
the report of the plentifulness of
prairie chickens. 1t can hardly be
accounted for other than on the
grounds that the depth of snow has
made comfortable homes for them
when they burrowed down into it as
their custom is. In addition to this,
farmers are feeding them, and they
are coming through fine. Frank
Eberhart, who lives near Hampton,
says that ne never saw them so thick
in his fields, and they come up to the
barn and he feeds them as he does
his own chickens. They fly to the
barn when feeding time comes.
