Under the Iowa Compensation Law.
Special to Times-Republfcan.
,Des Moines. Aug. 2s-The first re-
sort to arbitration under the Iowa
workmen's compensation law appar-
entity demonstrated that the arbitration
feature can be made to work out to
the establishment Of Justice. Under
the law, where there is failure to agree.
each of the parties selects an arbitrator
and the commissioner acts as the
third.
A coal mine employe claimed to have
had a sunstroke early in July and
asked compensation as one disabled IN
the course Of his employment. He
claimed that he was overcome while
unloading coal near . brick kiln just
fired and the added heat OF the kiln
was the primary cause Of the accident.
1t was shown that the day was cool.
that ordinarily the kiln did not raise
the temperature to any great degree
where tho unloading was done, and that
the man had in fact suffered from some
other ailments.
The case was really prosecuted by
the Moose lodge which had furnished
the man assistance, and was defended
by a casualty company which sent its
lawyer from ST. Louis. The arbitrators
were unanimous In the decision that
the sunstroke was not caused by the
work the man was employed at and
therefore he was not entitled to COM
pensation from his employer.
There has been some fear that in
such cases the commissioner will be
left to decide these matters alone; but
in this case at least the decision was
unanimous.

and in one more plunge Redwood had

in the fish pond behind the goal posts.
The ball was punted out and fair

Reynolds kicked off. Willmar made
good return and completed forward
pass for 10 yards. Time was called for
first half.
Second Half
Willmar received the kick off, and
the whole story of the third quarter
was a see-saw of the ball, back and
forth, Redwood keeping their goal
safe.
As the fourth quarter opened Will

fourth down and WEIGH made the

catch, and beautiful run of 20 yards,
Redwood was now travelling and made
downs for FIVE straight trials, ending
with the ball again over Willmar's
line. Redwood was called off-side and
penalized five yards. Two downs were
left to again make goal, but in a
mix-up Willmar held and the ball
went over.
Willmar made downs, and gradual
" worked away from their goal. The
time was becoming very short and we
foresaw nice little 6 to 0 for Red
wood, but not so. On fake Will
mar sent a man around the end for
a dandy forward pass making first
down; another forward pass followed
at once for another first down, and
again they succeeded in doing the
same thing for gain of thirty yards.
The ball was on the one yard line
and went over. Time was called.
Willmar failed in kicking, and the
great game was ended.

aggressors, and while not satisfied

Next Saturdays Game
The local team will play Hutchinson

The Hutchinson team is much heavier
than the Redwood team, but after the

excellent fight Saturday. This is al
so an extremely expensive game and
