RIGHTS or GARAGE Defined
UNPRECEDENTED DECISION Rem.
DERED AT MASON CITY.
Judge Edwards, Of the Eleventh Judi
cial District, Holds Obnoxious
Features Enjoinable.

Mason City, July 9.-Judge Ed
wards, of the Eleventh judicial district
of Iowa, has issued an injunction in
the suit Of Mr. and Mrs. Gillian VS..
the Mason City Auto company.
The Gillians occupy residence sit
uated but few feet from the garage
conducted by the auto company and in
their action complained of the gases
arising from the exhausts of the ma
chimes In the building and standing in
front of it, of the odors, the hammer
ing while repairs wore being made in
the garage, the careless handling of
gasoline, and the storage of an ex-
cessive amount in the building, claim
ing that their comfort and rest were
disturbed and that the careless hand
ling of the gasoline put them in fear
of their dives.
The injunction restraints the owners
of the garage from permitting gases
to be emitted from the machines kept
in the garage to an extent that will
interfere with the comfort of resi-
dents in the adjacent house, restraints
the employees of the garage from care
less handling or the spnling or per-
open vessels of gasoline. 1t also pro-
hibits the noises of eXhausts, loud
pounding or hammering and all smok-
ing around the garage.
The garage must be so operated and
conducted, if at all, that it will avoid
giving offense or interfering with the
comfort or enjoyment of residents Of
neighboring homes; otherwise it will
be considered a violation of the re-
Istraining order
The decision is of importance be.
cause it is the first attempt to place
a legal restriction upon the operation
of garages, on the grounds that they
are, as operated in many places, a
nuisance. 1t holds that where garages
are located in residence districts, or
even close to dwelling houses, these
obnoxious features are enjoinable.
So far as is discoverable in a search
Iof legal precendents no case similar
to the Cerro Gordo county case has
been before the courts.

SAYS IT'S A DfTRiMfNT TO CITY
Aid Of Courts will be Asked in Case
City Council Lacks Power to Stop
lt--soard of Health Says II Has
Backing of the State Board.

ColfaX, July Squared to action
by the announcement yesterday that
an institute for the use of the Fried
mann tuberculosis cure would be es-
tablished in Colfax, the board of
health af this city last night passed
a resolution in which the institute
was denounced as menace to the
city and prohibiting its opening to-
morrow morning.
Notice of the determination of the
council, which Is also the board of
health, will be served on those con-
nected with the company today. The
board of health declares 1t is backed
! by the state board of health and that
| it proposes to prohibit the erection
or maintenance of such a home as
| is designed by those who have Sc
cured the Iowa rights for the Ger
man doctors cure.
Colfax was much aroused when it
read the story of the friedman in
stitute being located on the main
street of the city. Members of the
board of health communicated with
the state board of health, and were
directed to investigate the proposed
institute and take what action they
deemed necessary. At the board
meeting the institute was attacked
as detriment to the city, which is
known as a health resort. Mem
bers of the board declared that it
would come under the nuisance class,
and that the board had the author
lity to close it up.
"The whole town is indignant at
the action of the company in locating
their sanitarium here" said a men,
Der of the board. I'VE did not hear
of the institute coming here until We
read the story in the newspapers, and
then We got busy. We were told by
the state board of health that any ac-
ton we would take would be support
ed fully and we expect to forestall
any attempt to open up the institute
THURSDAY morning. despite the fact
l that we have but few hours notice
of the plans of the Friedman COM
pany.
I'VE have secured the opinion of
an attorney and are certain that We
can close up the institution in case it
should ever open. If it should be
determined that we do not have the
authority to do such a thing We will
ask an injunction from the courts
The institute will be a detriment to
the community and We don't want the
people of the state to get the impress
sion that this is going to be home
| for tuberculosis victims"

TORNADO KILLS II
One Town Destroyed and Two
Suffer Severely.
MUCH HAVOC AT SEWARD, NEB.

Eleven Persons Were Killed and Thir-
ty Injured at That Place-Storm
Strikes Omaha and Nervous People
Take to the CeIIaro-TeIegraph and
Telephone Wires Down.
The tornado which formed in the
southern part of Seward county, Neb.,
took seventeen lives, injuring forty
persons and destroyed property
valued at $250,000.
Three towns-Seward, Tomaro and
McCool Junction-suffered from the
elements, the greatest destruction be-
ing at Seward, where eleven persons
were killed and thirty injured.
Tomaro is reported to have been
destroyed with the loss of four lives,
and McCool Junction to have suffer
ed much damage to property and two
deaths.
The Death List at Seward
The bodies recovered and identified
at Seward were those of the follow
ing:
Mrs David Hoover, Mrs. William
Heffinger, Mrs. Chris Westerman and
baby, Mrs. B. l.. Wasserman, J..
Schultz, Burlington section foreman:
Schultz, six-year-old daughter
of j. Schultz Mrs. R. Inlay, Samuel
Grim, Mrs Edwards, Oscar Cogar.
The tornado apparently originated
southwest of McCool Junction and,
gathering force as it moved to the
northeast, struck with full strength at
Tomaro and Seward. All telegraph
and telephone lines were demolished
IN the path of the storm, cutting sew
eral trunk lines of wires between this
city and Denver.
A large force of linemen was quick
ly sent to the scene, but until the
wires are repaired the full extent Of
the damage and the number of casu-
alties will not be definitely known.
Omaha People Rush to Cellars.
Continuing its course, the storm
ragged until it reached Omaha. Here
it crossed the city near the southern
limits, but it's strength had been so
far spent that the damage done here
was nominal. This fact, however, did
not prevent Omaha people generally,
especially those inclined to be ner-
vous, from seeking refuge in cellars
and other places considered tornado
proof.
The experience of Easter Sunday
taught them to consider seriously the
approach of ominous looking clouds,
and the appearance in the southwest
of the storm was sufficient to set
everybody to seeking an avenue of
escape. The afternoon had been op-
pressive and many persons were on
the qui vive and prepared for any
thing.
