PERFECTLY FAMILIAR TO HIM
Reason Why Carney Refused to En-

Particular Sunset

ANDY" Rohan, the detective-lieuten.

"A visitor to the city was struck by
the beautiful sunset reflected on lake

Covering Cream Cans.

A great part of the value of keeping
cream cool on the farm and at the
station or creamery is lost if the
cream is exposed to the direct rays of
the sun while being hauled from the
farm to the point of sale. Far too
few people stop to realize the impor-
lance of covering their cream cans
when bringing them in to town. Elk
pensive iacketed cans are not nee
essity to keep the cream cool. In
summer weather just an ordinary
piece of wet burlap thrown over the
cans will keep the temperature of the
cream as much as 20 degrees below
what it would rise to if left uncovered
while being transported over the av-
erage hauling distance.

WATER STARTS $4,000 SUIT
Not Result of CareIessness and
Starts Unique Procedure.

Madison-One of the most unusual
and at the same time important cases
ever brought to the Supreme court of
Wisconsin was given its final hearing
when arguments were heard in the
case of the New Dells Lumber COM
pany of Eau Claire and the estate of
Gerhardt Vennen.
Vennen was a workman for the
New Dells concern. 1t is alleged that
he contracted typhoid fever from con-
taminated water while at work. His
widow is suing for $4,000 for illness
incurred and $4,000 for the result
tant death The case was nonsuited
in the lower court.
The lumber company contends that
this action properly comes under the
workmen's compensation act and that
the compensation according to the
regular schedule should be paid. The
plaintiffs plea is that there was moth
ing accidental, construed in terms of
the compensation act, about the case.
The argument opens an entirely
new field. There is no case In the
history of American or English law
that covers the action. A decision in
favor of the lumber company may
mean that in the future cases of ILL
ness contracted by an employe during
the performance of his duties will
come under the compensation act A
decision for the plaintiff will mean
that damages can be asked in any
amount. The maximum damages that
can be obtained under the compensa>
ton act is $4,000.
