rough STREETS
SUPREME COURT OiEItRUIES
JUDGMENT OF 81 500 IN PER
SONAL INJURY ACTION.

Mitchell, May 24.-Reversing the
decree of the Dawson county circuit
court which awarded James Keen,
jr., of Mitchell, the sum OF $500
in his suit against the city of Mitch
ell, the state supreme court has just
handed down an opinion which alb
solves the city from payment of the
judgment.
The suit was instituted by James
Keen, sr., for his son who is a minor.
TO recover damages for personal IN
jury sustained by the lad because of
alleged defect in one Of the city
streets. The accident occurred ON
March %, 1913, when young Keen
was driving a team Of horses hitched
to a farm wagon with a double box.
The boy was standing on top Of the
load near the middle of the box.
While driving in this position he was
thrown to the ground rs the front
wheels of the wagon entered a de
preston extending across the street.
Both bones in one OF his arms at a
point two inches above the wrist
joint were broken.
The city appealed from the circuit
courts judgment OF $500 damages
and from an order denying a motion
for a new trial. The city contended
that the evidence failed to show that
the city had been negligent in keep
ing the street in proper repair and in
safe condition for travel at the point
where the accident occurred and
that the overruling of the motion for
a new trial was an error.
In its opinion the supreme court
declared that I'VE are of the view
that the appellant is right in this
contention and that the depression IN
the street was of such character that
the officials in charge thereof could
not have reasonably foreseen or ap-
pretended the probability of the hap
pening of the accident 10 the plain
tiff by reason thereof"

ODD TOWN IN IOWA
Farmers Consolidate interests,
Transact Business Profltably.


Though Built Fourteen Years Ago,
When Railroad Was Constructed,
FernaId Has Population of Only 100,
but Air of Mutual interest Would
Please Any One.
Des Moines, Ia.-Out on the prairies
OF Iowa Is one Of the most novel towns
of the country. There is no pickering
between ~townspeople and rural resi-
dents, as Is often the case. The farm
ers for miles around feel perfectly free
to go to town without wearing starch
ed shirts and collars. There il an mir
of mutual interest between town and
country which would gladden. the heart
of any rural life expert. The reason
for this Is that the town is owned 10y
the farmers themselves.
When he goes to town TO buy n bar of
soap or a new pillow the farmer buys Of
himself. or rather he is a partner i'm the
store. When he goes TO the elevator he
sells to his company the grain he has
brought In. Perhaps his e stop viii
be at a bank owned and managed 10y
the farmers themselves.
The town is named Fernald. All of
its business enterprises are owned by
farmers living within n radius of three
or four miles. Though built fourteen
years ago, when the railroad was built,
Fernald has n population of only 10O
and probably will not grow much
larger In the years TO come, because Of
the nearness of numerous other towns.
But this does not mean hat Fernald
does not expect TO grow and prosper,
for the farsighted farmers who own
the town do practically all OF their
trading there instead of ~patrOniZing
mail order houses or buying in neigh
boring towns. In fact, the town Is just
n big social center for the whole com
munity.
The town was founded by the farm
ers I'm order TO avoid making long hauls
In delivering crops to the railroad. A
line elevator was built shortly after
the town was founded, but it was not
until about two years ago that ID was
purchased by n group of farmers OPP

made manager of the elevator. The i'm.
vestment proved a wise one. for i'm the
first year under the new management
the elevator paid n profit Of - per cent
on the 5000 capital.
The Farmers Lumber company was
organized by -four farmers with a cap
ltalization OF $1,000. Mr.. Fleagle also
manages the affairs of this company
ana It's $4,000 stock. Another enter.
prise founded by the farmers was the
Farmers Cooperative Mercantile com
pany. After a brief period of competl-
tion the rival mercantile store was
compelled to close its doors, leaving the
management of the town and its bust
ness affairs entirely IA the hands OF
the farmers themselves.
The towns founders then establish.
cd the Farmers Savings bank, with a
capital OF $4,000. The deposits have
reached the $4,000 mark in three years
Mr.. F~leagle's ability for management
was recognized a third time when he
was made vice president Of the bank.

Buyers We're again successful in
forcing prices down in the hog de-

noted in the offers at the start, but
business finally resolved itself into
a nickel lower deal, as compared
with the average yesterday. Elk

while the bulk of the sales ranged
from $9.40 1880.
In the sheephouse there was very
little shifting of values. the supply
at hand consisting Of clipped lambs
and everything met a prompt dis
posal at steady figures. A string of
clipped lambs made $1,000, which is
the record elevation for the year to

Custody of Child Is
 Given to Grandmother

A suit for the custody of James Leon- ard Narkates, the child of James V. Mar kates and Isola Narkates was concluded in the city court before Judge Charles w. Ferguson yesterday when the court awarded the child to the care and cus- tody of Mrs. M. B. McDanel, the ma ternal grandmother, and l.. M. McDaniel. the brother of the childs mother. The case has been before the court for many weeks and has been bitterly contested for the past six weeks. A number of detectives who had been employed for the purpose of securing evidence as to the character of the child's mother gave their testimony and the trial was held behind closed doors.
 James V. Narkates and Mrs. Isola Mar kates were divorced some months ago and the custody of the child at that time was awarded to the maternal grand mother. Various attempt have been made since by J. V. Narkates, the father of the child, to secure possession, and the final decree of the court was not rem dered until yesterday. Horace c. Afford was the attorney for Mrs. McDaniel, who was granted the custody of the child, and the plaintiff was represented by James Barton. The arguments in the case lasted all day Saturday and the decision of the court was rendered yesterday afternoon.

 Secretary Baker announced tonight that navy yard employees who are members of the National Guard will be given honor able discharges in cases where their serv- ices are needed by the navy. Secretary Daniels had suggested such a ruling. MT. Baker said the government had ample equipment for all the guardsmen ordered out, though the task of taking the sup plies from warehouses and marking, packing and shipping them had entailed some delay in distribution. This is being rapidly overcome, the secretary said.
 Secretary Baker and General Scott, chief of staff, today inspected the District of Columbia camp at Del Ray, Va. where the first of the district guardsmen were being mustered into the federal service. signal corps of 75 men and P officers of the medical and quartermaster's de- partments qualified during the day. A battalion of negro infantry will be mus tered in early tomorrow and a total of about 500 of the 2OO0 men at the camp probably will be ready to entrain for the border before night.

 It was made plain by Secretary Lansing 10 Ignacio Calderon. minister of Bolivia that the Washington government sees nothing in the situation that would war rant arbitration proceedings
 MT. Lansing talked with the minister for half an hour and is understood to have told him that the blame for the grave outlook rested squarely upon Gen eral Carranza. The attitude of the Unit ed States was so fully outlined that MT.
