WEBSTER CITY GET
TING HEALTHIER
SO Burial Permits Issued During
the Year 1914-106 Issued
During 1918.

The winter of 1914-15 has so Tar
been an exceptionally healthful one.
The air has been cold and dry
which is always conducive to good
health. People as rule pay more
attention tC keeping well nowadays
than they used to do. The term
used to be getting we'll" and a
physician was not called until the
sick person was really sick and dan
gerously so,
Since Nov. 3rd and up to today.
only fifteen burial permits have
been issued in the city. In the same
length of time one year ago, 81 had
been issued. The burial permits for
the entire year OF 1914 were 80.
The number issued for the year
1913 were LOG. Thirteen less We're
issued this year than last year, not
withstanding the population was
considerably larger during 1914
than 1913. This argues we'll for
the condition OF the general health
of the community.
The number of deaths from sui
eide or accident for 1913 were ).
Those from the same causes in
1914 were 5.
A few persons have died in the
community and have been buried
elsewhere, but these are very few.
The most Of the dead have been bur-
led in local cemeteries.
To those interested in the Stats
tics concerning tuberculosis and
figures have been taken
from the city records showing the
number of persons who have died
as result of these two scourges.
In 1913 there were six deaths from
tuberculosis in the community.
These were not all, however, pull
monary cases. In 1914 there were
three deaths from tuberculosis. In
1913 there were eleven deaths from
pneumonia in Webster City and
and in 1914 there were
nine deaths from this cause. The
causes of the largest number of
deaths have in both years been
heart trouble and apo
plexy. Both latter diseases are U.s.
ually induced by old age, SO tho
greatest cause of death of the young
or middle aged would seem to have
been pneumonia.

COMPANY
FILES ITS REPLY
The Manufacturers Set Fourth
Their Side of the Case in
Petition in Court.

Fort Dodge Chronicles: Attorneys
of the National Bank of Commerce
of Toledo, Ohio, have filed two re-
plies in the district court to the an
swer and counter-claim of the Han
son-Tyler auto company.
They resist the motion filed that
the Overland company be made a
party to the suit brought to recov-
er on a $4,000 note and claim that
the Bank of Commerce is the owner
of the note and claim that the Over
land company has no interest in 1t
whatsoever.
AS to the $4,000 counter claim
filed by the local company on &C
count of an alleged breach Of their
contract with the Toledo concern,
the answer recites seven reasons for
it's cancellation.
First-The Hanson & Tyler com
pany agreed to pay cash for the cars
either F. 0. B. Toledo or Fl. Dodge
Wssen the contract was cancelled
they were owing the Overland com
ipany $4,000 on the previous years
business. In addition to this in
debtedness they were owing to 10
cal banks and accessory houses, au
to dealers and to others total q
lS74,OO0. This was according to theil
own statement
They ordered shipped to them, il
is alleged, for delivery during the
months of August, September ant
October, cars purchased under theil
contract until at the time their con
tract was cancelled there were &C
cumulated on the track here II cars
containing 62 automobiles worth
$6S,OOO. These cars, according tt
the petition, were not shipped from
the factory at one time, but from
time to time, and never more than
one carload in any instance. Han
son & Tyler were unable to raise
the money to pay for the cars, hay
ing but a little over $4,000 in the
bank.
Second-Did not keep six cars on
hand for exhibition and demonstra'
ton, as required by their contract
Third-Did not make weekly re-
port showing number of Overland
cars sold and names of persons max
ing inquiries.
Fourth-Did not keep on hand
$4,000 worth of parts and repairs.
Fifth-Did not spend $4,000 a
year for advertising Overland cars
and send copy to the Overland COM
pany.
Sixth-Took only 70 cars up I'M
der 1914-15 contract up to Novem-
Der /, when they had contracted TO"
236, leaving 164 cars which they re-
fused to take.
Seventh-Immedia prior to
the cancellation of the contract,
Hanson & Tyler had given notice by
wire of their inability to pay for
cars purchased under the contract.
The reply also contains a denial
of the fact that the Overland Fort
Dodge company has any connection
whatsoever with the Toledo concern.

there was enough gunpowder aboard
the ship to blow her into smithereens
the fire was discovered before it
had gained very much headway. How
ever, it took an hour of stiff work on
the part Of the sailors to subdue the
flames, which at one time were so
threatening that squad of men were
