been made for the ceremony. and all
the theatrical people appearing in On

clerk refused to issue the license The

exacting, when they expect to carry out
their plans.

local railroad man, for several years a
travelling freight agent for the Iowa
Central, with headquarters in this city

to Portland newspapers. Talbot came
to the Iowa Central when J. N Title

The Dies Moines Register and Leader

CITY WINS SEWAGE CASE.
Action Taken From Jury and Verdict
Directed For CITY

r
Directed For City.
! The city won the first of five cases
! brought by residents OF the First ward
for damages claimed to have resulted
/ from sewage backing up into their cell
lars and flooding their premises. When
the arguments had been completed in
the suit brought by w. H Johnson
against the city, Judge Nichols sus-
tanned the motion of City Solicitor F.
f. Nortlup for a directed verdict for
the city late Tuesday afternoon.
Johnson sued fer damages of $3.50
The basis of the suit was the neglect
of the city to furnish an adequate
storm sewer for that part of the First
ward that is drained north along Third
avenue. When the storm sewer put in
North Third avenue ten or more years
go caved in and became stopped, the
city connected the storm sewer that
emptied into it with the sanitary sewer.
1t was claimed that the latter. being
of too small size to carry away the
surface water when heavy rains fell.
became flooded and backed UP into
cellars of residences near the intersec-
ton Of Third avenue and Suayzee
street
The defense of the city was that the
complainants were guilty of contribu-
tory negligence in that they had failed
to put traps in their sewer in their
cellars to prevent the sewage from
backing up into their cellars 1t was
principally on this ground of negli-
gence that the argument was made for
a directed verdict.
The four other cases which were set
for trial Immediately following the
Johnson case. We're continued. These
suits were brought by George E. Will
hanson. Annie Peterson Adeline Wiki
inson and Christine Peterson. The
issues involved in these cases are
practically the same as in the johnson
case.

trial
1t was tried the second time in Oc-
tober. 1913. A verdict of s14.5o0 was
returned for Breen by that jury. The

FORMER MASTER MECHANIC OF
NJ N. 4 ST. L. PASSES AWAY
At sRookFIEL0.
GAVE UP WORK HERE
NEARLY TWO YEARS AGO
Death Due to Tubereulosis Of the
Throat, Following Period Of Poor
Health That Dates Back Several
Ysars-GiIl an Old and Thorough
Railroad Man.

Word received at the master me-
chanic's office Of the Minneapolis & st.
Louis railway tells Of the death at
Brookfeld. No.. of William Gill, for
merly master mechanic Of the road,
with headquarters here. Mr.. Gill died
Saturday at Brooktield Of tuberculosis
of the throat. He had been falling in
health for several years, and two years
ago next April gave up his work here
because of his debilitated condition.
Mr.. Gill came to the Iowa Central
here in 1908 as assistant master me-
chanic, the appointment being made by
the late C. E. Gossett, then master me-
chanic. When Mr.. Gossett was made
general master mechanic Of the Min
neapolis & ST. Louis following the re-
organization Of the Central. he recon-
mended Mr.. Gill as his successor. and.
effective Aug. Is, 1910. Mr.. Gill was ap-
pointed by P. Maher. superintendent Of
motive power.
Long Time in Service.
Mr.. Gill was a most thorough old
time railroad man, and had seen ser
vice covering more than a quarter OF
century. He entered railroad work on
the Missouri Pacific as a boy in the
water service, and as a young man
learned the machinist's trade. For nine
years he was foreman of the shops at
the Hannibal & ST. Joe railroad. Dur
lington system), a Brookheld. Mo. and
in 1904 went TO the Rock Island as gem
eral foreman of the shops at Eldon.
Mo. 1t was from Eldon that Mr.. Gill
came to this city.
Goes West For Health.
Mr.. Gill served as master mechanic
from Aug. Is. 1910. until the middle of
April, 1912. altho during the last few
months of his service he was only nom
inally in charge. His health began TO
fail rapidly in January. 1912, when W.
T. Leyden, was made acting master
mechanic and Mr.. Gill left for Los
Angeles, to see IL a change in climate
would benefit him. He returned to the
city in March, but a month later re-
signed, and Mr.. Leyden succeeded him.
Mr. Gill left again for Los Angeles. and
later went to Lynnville, Utah, where he
went to work for the San Pedro. Los
Angeles & Salt Lake railway. He was
not strong enough to continue his
work, however. and about year ago
went back to Los Angeles. He and
Mrs. Gill reached Brookfed only few
days before Mr.. Gill died.
Wife and Son Survive.
Mr.. Gill was about so years old. and
is survived by his widow and one son.
Louis Gill. The latter was by Mr.. ellis
first wife, and lives in the state OF
Washington.
Mr.. and Mrs. Gill made many friends
during their residence here, and Mr..
Gill was very popular among the rail-
road employees. both in the shops and
on the road. His appointment as mas
ter mechanic to succeed Mr.. Gossett
met with general approval among the
employees, all Of whom will regret ex-
ceedingly to learn of Mr.. Gilrs death.

by pistols popping and flashing some
two miles away, then by growing
rumble OF galloping hoofs.

where Marrophat, Hicks and Jimmy

had built and lighted.

A sardonic chuckle from within
