MUST PAY FOR NEWSPAPER.

Judge George Thomas, of Columbus,
Neb; recently decided that if a man
accepted the paper, when called upon
he must pay for it. The decision was
rendered in the case brought by the
Columbus (Neb.) Telegram against q
man for $2.35. The Telegram had
been sent to the mans home and he
had accepted the paper. When called
upon to pay for it he refused and suit
was brought. When Judge Thomas
heard the evidence he instructed the
jury to bring in a verdict for the Tele-

old common law principle that what
a man received and used he was bound
to pay for applied in this instance.
