DAMAGE SUIT IS
/ SETTLED fOR $4,000
Case Against Santa Fe Railway for
$4,000 Damages IS Settled
When Superintendent
Arrives.
JURY IS DISCHARGED
Judge Bank Signs Order Allowing
Mrs. Hall to Sign Stipulation
and the Case
Ends.
JURY IS DISCHARGED

" .-5 y
r. H. futile, superintendent Of the
Santa Fe railway at Needles, CAL, who
was reported as coming all the way to
keokuk for the express purpose of
seeing the hydroelectric development
here, breezed into the court house this
morning and proceeded to get the
parties in the damage suit for $4,000
against the Santa Fe in conference
The jury was held an hour this
morning pending the outcome Of the
conference and then excused until two
o'clock this afternoon when the at
torneys produced an agreement signed
by them and an order for Judge Bank
to sign authorizing Maude Hall, the
plaintiff, administrative of the estate
of Harry Hall to sign the stipulation.
BY the terms of the agreement
Mrs. Hall is to receive $4,000 for the
death of her husband each party is to
pay the cost of taking their own
dispositions of which there were many,
each side to pay for its own witnesses
and all taxable costs to be paid by the
! railway company. The trial Of the
case began in the district court here
yesterday morning. 1t was filed about
| two years ago. There were number OF
! witnesses from California here in the
case, among whom were w. H. Oliver
and Lon Perry, of Needles, California
! o. F. Kuenser, w Robbins, and W. O.
Fecas of Los Angeles, and Geo. B
| Marden, of Oakland, Cal.
The Santa Fe had fought the case
hard since it was begun two years age
declaring that the case should have
come under the laws of the state OF
California and later that one count
should come under the laws of Cali
/ fornia and one under the laws of the
/ United States. The case had been re
manded back TO the district cou-
from the United States court TIL.
i defendant claimed that Hall was neg
ligent and under the California statute
if such were proved there could be nc
cause for action. 1t is thought that
dangerous precedent might have beer
established in the case and for this
reason the railway company brought
two of it's best counselors here te
1 fight it and later settled 1t although il
! is known that both sides wished 9
settlement.
This is the last jury case of this
term of court and the new jury fol
the February term will report Monday

a vague idea that something of a re-
assuring character might suddenly
turn up in the news. Abroad. these
desultory hopes seemed TO converge
on the Constantinople situation On
the New York stock exchange South
ern Pacific held the center of the
stage; is advance resulting obvious
" from a stubborn belief that the
tangle with Union Pacific could be
unravelled only by concessions to
shareholders in that property, on the

Judge Lovett's statement that no
agreement had yet been reached
seemed not o discourage this idea
perhaps because it was coupled with
the assurance that there had been no
hopeless disagreement The rest of
the list moved rather irregularly;
hut the tactful patriots who yesterday
began to manipulate American Can

AFRAID OF THE TARIFF
viii Await Action Of Democratic Ad-
mlnlstratlon Before ventur-
ing Far Into the Cat
tie Business.
Especial to The Gate City.l

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 20
Cedar Rapids, republican congress
man from the fifth Iowa district re-
Gently purchased farm in Van
Buren county, his state, and had fig
ured on stocking the place with feed
ers this spring, but the attitude of
the democratic party toward the tariff
has caused him to hesitate. The in
tention of the democratic leaders to
take the duty off meat brought into
the United States In the hope that
this will assist in reducing the high
cost of living, is the thing which is
giving the congressman pause In his
! plan to buy $50 head of feeder cattle
and turn them out to pasture.
"The democratic party surely is
/ going to take the duty off meat" Mr..
Good said, 4and no one can tell what
will happen then"
AS an illustration of what it will
mean when live stock shall be admit
ted to the United States free of duty,
/ Mr.. Good cited an instance of cattle
raiser in the province of Alberta
who last fall shipped several train
loads of fat cattle to the union stock
yards. Chicago, his duty, paid to the
United States government, amounting
to more than $4,000 In addition tic
the cattle which will be shipped in
enormous numbers to the packers OF
the United States from the Dominion
Of Canada, Mr.. Good pointed out
there will be the beeves from Mexico
and Argentina. So, Mr.. Good doubts
4 the wisdom Of his venturing into thu
cattle feeding business just at thi.
time.
