DEBATE FRIDAY NIGHT
Inter- ollegians to Discuss Govern
ment Ownership of Railroads.

A debate of more than usual inter
est will be held Friday evening in
Penn college chapel when the argu-
ers representing the local college will
compare points with debaters from
Parsons college. On the same even
ing a second team from Penn will
hold down another corner of the tri-
angle formed by Penn, Parsons and
Des Moines, when they meet the Des
Moines college team at Des Moines.
For some years past Penn has had
q triangular debate with Parsons and
Leander Clark. Last year the ALI
ance with these schools was broken
and q new one formed with Des
Moines college and Parsons. In the
old league Penn was very fortunate
in winning contests and carried off
a large share of the ribbons. In the
four debates held with Parsons, Penn
has won three, and the dope has it
that another victory will be chalked
up this week. The winning spirit
is in the air for Penn.
The question for debate is a live
one: Resolved, That the Federal
Government Should Own and Oper-
ate the Railroads Within the United
States" Penns representatives have
sifted the question to the bottom and
If the opponents succeed in punctur-
ing the supposedly hole-proof argu-
ment they will have to put up a
mighty good exhibition of forensiCs,
Walter Dexter and Chase ConoVer
Wil Damn pt hnFnn and
port the affirmative of the argument.
Ralph Sherman and Arthur Hotten'
stein have a little tilt in Des Moines
where they support the negative side
of the question. Dexter is a whirl-
wind on the platform. He repre-
sents Penn in the State Oratorical
Contest this year and has been on
the debating team for three consecu
tive years. He was on the team
which defeated Leander Clark last
year. Conover, the running mate
with Dexter, won second place on the
home oratorical contest this year and
was an alternate on one of the debat
ing teams last year. He has the
voice and the argument to convince
the most stubborn. Sherman was
half of the team which won from
Leander Clark last year and heads
the aggregation which will be the
first to secure a victory from the lads
in the capital city. Hottenstein
though a freshman, can produce the
goods and viii be there with thu
hammer of conviction to clinch the
nails In the structure OF argument.

DAMAGE SUITS FILED
Mr.. & Mrs. Ben Mccoy Bring Action
Against c. R. !. & p. Ry.

Two suits involving an aggregate
sum of $4,999 have been filed in dis
trict court against the Chicago, Rock
Island, and Pacific Railroad Company
by Ben Mccoy and Mary MCCOY hus-
band apd wife, of this city. The
allegations of the two petitions are
practically the same.
The plaintiffs aver that upon Feb
ruary q, 1913, a mile west of Rose
Hill, the horse they were driving be-
came frightened at an unsafe cross
ing of the defendants, and ran away
with the result that both were
thrown out and suffered serious in
juries. They claim that the APP
proaches to the crossing were out OF
repair and out of grade, that the
crossing grade was higher than the
highway grade and the approaches
were steep, and that there was a
deep depression from the crossing
onto the approach. They say that
the buggy falling onto the horse
when it came down into this depres-
sion caused the animal to run. Mr..
Mccoy asks $2,799 for injuries to
himself and 5000 for damages to the
horse and buggy, while Mrs. Mccoy
demands $4,000 for injuries she sus-
tanned. The firm of Mccoy & Nc
Coy represent the plaintiffs.
w. A. Anderson has filed suit
against J. L. and Edith AlIender,
asking judgment for $90,31 on one
count, and $118.15 on another. His
attorneys are l. c. Johnson and d.
w. Bates.
George Groves and c. L. Wilson,
in a petition filed recently, demand
judgment against f. H.. Carpenter for
$2S7.75, alleged to be due on con-
tract for real estate deal. The
plaintiffs are represented by Mccoy
& Mccoy. $780,. ..

$73.05 from Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Comstock for goods and merchandise
alleged to have been furnished. e.
A. Schmidt is the attorney.
