TROUBLE OVER MILK BOTTLE.
Question of Who Pays For Emp
ties" Leads to Law Suit.

Ottumwa, Jan. 17.-Who pays for
the empty milk bottles or who owes
who cents, were the questions
which formed the basis of a suit
heard in Justice Nosler's court Fri
day and decided by him Monday.
o. l. Belknap runs a grocery store
on Orchard street. A. c. Jones
lives near by and last week he sent
his little boy TO the grocery to buy
groceries and milk. The bill with
five cents deducted for an empty bot
tie which he returned came to 43
cents. The lad had so cents and the
grocer gave him cents in return.
Papa Jones thought there should
have been twelve cents coming to
him and sent the lad back. Nothing
was gained by this so he went to the
store and came back; then the
daughter, Edith Jones started out
and when she came back she didn't
have the cents but she had the
satisfaction of knowing that she had
put it over" on the Belknaps. Mr.,
Belknap came right back by swear
ing out a warrant for their arrest on
the grounds that they had struck and
beat his wife. All this was threshed
out Friday and Monday morning
the court decided to fine the Jones' s
each $40 and costs and suspended
fines on their promise to behave
themselves and not to Start any
more trouble over cents
