FACTS PUBLIC SHOULD KNOW

During the basket ball season there
has been a general Misunderstanding
by the public in regard to the stand
ing OF the two local teams.
The basket bali enth usiasts have Of
ten asked why there has been no
game this year between the North
and South side. and We think it is
only fair that the public should know
that At three different times South
Canon haS asked for = game and a.
many times has been refused BY North
Canon
The following is the record made by
South Canon Ills season:
Jan s. At Pueblo-centenniai 20.
South Canon 2s.
Jan. at Canon Rocky Ford 10.
South Canon 5s.
Jan. Is. at Florence Florence 10.
South Canon rs.
Jan. %. at saiida,-saiida 20. South
Canon 40.
Feb. 6. at Florence 10,

Besides an alumni game which re
suited In score OF 81 to 20 In favor
Of the high school team.
Averaging theee scores. South Can
on leads BY l5s points. or BY games,
Hhe has lost one In six.
We believe Il 10 only fair that the
people should know that South Canon
is ready to play North Canon at any
time.

CASE OF CLARK AND
KOBER VS.. RECKART &
SON WON BY FORMER


Instructions in the case of Charles
V. Clark and Fred Kober, Sr., versus
Heckart & Son. which was on trial
in the district court on Tuesday and
"Wednesday, were given to the jury
by Judge wilkin at 10 o'clock this
morning.
This suit, which was heard on ap-
peal from the county court, was based
upon a money demand for the sum OF
$4,000 which the plaintiffs allege is
unpaid in connection with their work
on the Y. NJ. C. A. building, for which
the defendants were the contractors.
The plaintiffs, 1t appears. were sub
contractors for the stone and brick
work on the building; taking the job
for $11,5s2. OF this amount Messrs.
Clark and Kober say they received
$11,042 and that a balance of $40 is
due and unsettled A Judgment was
rendered the plaintiffs in the county
court
The defendants claim that they
paid the amount due the plaintiffs in
full, with an excess of s59.01, for
which a receipt was given. The
plaintiff acknowledge giving the
receipt, but state that it was done
hastily and without ascertaining
whether it covered the full amount to
which they were entitled or not. Lat
er it was found, as the plaintiffs al
lege, that the receipt did not include
all that was due them under their
agreement with the defendants by
the amount stated above. Messrs.
Heckart & Son lost the receipt, con-
sequently were unable to produce it
in court.
The controversy between the ilti-
gants hinges about a check for 5000.
which the defendants claim to have
given the plaintiffs. and which the
latter have no recollection of receiv-
ing. There seems to be no record of
the check anywhere and it is because
of that fact that suit was instituted.
An open venire of sixteen men was
subpoenaed from which to select a
jury to try the case; from which the
following panel was chosen: A. H.
Davis, NJ. ]. Evans. Richard Coleman.
NJ. ]. McInery. f. Gresham and VIM.
Staples.
Judge ]. C. Schweigert appeared in
the case as attorney for Messrs Clerk
, and Kober and A. L. Taylor as attor-
ney for Messrs. Heckart & Son.
At 1880 o'clock the jury returned
verdict for the plaintiffs in the sum
asked for in the complaint. Mr.. Tay-
lor was not in court at the time. but
exceptions we're reserved for him on
behalf of his clients. Mr.. Taylor this
afternoon gave notice Of his inten-
tion to ask for new trial and Judge
Wflkin gave him ten days in which
to prepare his petition for that pur-
! pose.

French and Norwegian Vessels Are
Attacked by Germans But
Not Sunk.
BOTH SHIPS REACH PORT
Dispatch From Dieppe Says Vessel
Dinorah Was Attacked With
out Warning.

London, Feb. 20.-Germany sig
nalized the second day of the opera
ton of the sea war zone by torpe
doing two steamships, one of then
belonging to neutral country
Norway. This vessel, the tank
steamer Belridge, was torpedoed BY
a submarine near Falkstone, Eng
land, while the French steamer Di'
norah was badly damaged by SIM
liar vessel off Dieppe, France.
Both damaged vessels managed tc
make port. A Dieppe dispatch as
serts that no warning of an attacl,
was given the Dinorah.
There has been no mention of
casualties on either vessel.
Some Danish vessels were unable
to sail Thursday owing to the refus-
al of their crews to move them. This
impeachment was overcome yesterday,
however, and most of the Dutch
lines also resumed their schedules
under the governments insurance
scheme.
The British replies to the Ameri-
can notes of the use of the Ameri-
can flag by the Cunard line steam
er Lusitania and the decision to hold
the cargo of the American steamer
Wilhelmina to prize court were de-
livered to Walter Hines Page, the
American ambassador, yesterday.
The, notes make clear that while
there is no intention to resort to the
use of neutral flags generally, Great
Britain thinks that neutral cOun-
tries should not begrude her ships
this privilege in view of Germany's
threat to destroy British sea COM
merce and further, that in view OF
the latest German policy of sea war
fare Great Britain contemplates de-
claring all foodstufts to Germany alb
solute contraband.
Both notes are of a conciliatory
character. That in reference to the
use of the American flag points out
that the United States resorted to
the use of the British flag during the
civil war, and that if Germany fol-
lows the usual custom of ascertain
ing definitely the nationality of ship
stopped by her warships no damage
can be done to neutral vessels.

Will NOT STOP
OATS CAMPAIGN
Black Hawk Farmers Breathing Eas-
Ter With No New Outbreaks
of Disease.

Cedar Falls, Ia, Feb. 20.-With
the outbreak of foot and mouth dis
ease in Buchanan county, adjoining
Black Hawk, and this county still
not put under quarantine for the
second time, apprehension over the
probable cancellation of the big oats
campaign March 10-11 has died
down. The disease appeared on a
farm near Jesup, just over the Black
Hawk county line, where 107 head
of cattle and hogs were slaughtered
by order of State Veterinarian Glib
son, and it was thought likely this
county as we'll as Buchanan would
be quarantinued.
Such quarantine would absolutely
prohibit the campaign of education
in oat culture planned by the Farm
Implement association Of Black
Hawk county. This campaign of
two days will see fifty meetings held
on various farms about the county
at which the formalin treatment for
smut will be demonstrated and other
phases of oat culture exemplified by
experts from Iowa State college
working in cooperation with County
Agriculturist A. A. Burger.

British Transport Lost.

Berlin (by wireless to Sayville)
Feb. 22.-The report of the sinking
of a British transport with troops
and the accompanying steamer,
reached Berlin too late for comment
by the morning papers.
All Of the papers however, feat
ure the report in first page head
lines, together with reports of the
sinking Of other vessels by sub
marines or mines.
If, as indicated by the foregoing,
British transport has been sunk,
the news probably has been with
held in London. Although accounts
of the sinking of various other
steamers by German submarines or
by mines have been passed prompt
ly by the British censors, there was
no intimation in the London dis
patches Of the destruction of a trans
port.

MAKES
DARING FLIGHT
French Altman Spreads Consterna'
ton at Ostend-Hurls Bombs
on Munition Wagons.

Paris, Feb. 20.-A daring fligh,
made the night of Feb. IS by the av
iator, X, who threw down six
projectiles in the vicinity of Ostend

the war office yesterday afternoon.
The aviator left his station al

His first projectile landed on what
appeared to be a number Of NUM-
ton and supply wagons near Mid
delkerke.
The airman flew to Ostend and let
fall three bombs on the Casino build
ing. The violence Of these detona-
lions caused CONSERVATION among
the enemy, who flashed their search
lights on the departing aviator. Lat
er two more bombs were hurled on
a barracks to the west of Ostend.
Searchlights found the French
airman soon after this, and German
machine guns were fired at him, but
without success. During his return

CLAIM THE RUSSIAN
LOSS WAS TERRIFIC
Germans Place Foes Casualties in
Prussia at 10000.

Berlin, (by wireless to Sayville)
Feb. 2O.-Further reports concern
ing the German victory Of the Ma
zurian lakes, in East Prussia, make
it apparent that the Russian defeat
was a severe one. German military
officials in Berlin doubt whether
much remains of about five Russian
army corps, which were engaged in
the recent battle. While the Rus.
slams may have saved some of their
artillery through quick retreat, it
seems certain, army men say, that
Russian troops to the number of at
least 10000 are no longer to be
reckoned with by the German arm
les.
The clearing of the Austrian
crown land of Bukowina of the in
vaders also is taken by German Of
ficials to mean a Russian defeat on
the other extreme wing of the opera
lions in the east.
Included in the news given out
Yesterday by the Overseas News
agency is the following:
"Constantinople reports that the
Greek government on representa-
lions made to it has agreed to pre-
vent the movement of Russian am
munition by way Of Saloniki.
Amsterdam reports that the
boat service from Rotterdam and
to London has been dis
continued. Dutch ship owners have
asked the Netherlands government
to exclude for a period of one year
from Dutch ports all British steam
ars which during these days fly nell
