Attention at December Term

Judge Wheeler has granted a new
trial in the case of Chris. p Ratten-
borg, administrator rs Hans p Bon
nesen which was heard at the Dec
ember term of the Audubon county
district court. The parties interest
ed in this case reside near Kimball-
ton and is the out growth of an auto
mobile accident which happened a
little over a year ago when a young
boy, the son of Mr.. Rattenborg, was
killed.
| Mr.. Bonnesen, the defendant in the
case has for many years be prOmin-
ent business man of this county and
is widely known to many of our read
ers. In the trial of the case last
December Mr.. BOnnesen was fined a
small sum of money. This was not
acceptable to the plaintiff who, upon
hearing the verdict of the jury, at
once made a motion for a new trial.
| This motion has been under con-
sideration for some time, and the
notice sent by Judge. Wheeler this
week means that the case will be
given another trial in the district
court of Audubon county. The petit
jurors draw for the February term of
court will not report for duty until
the 18th of the month instead of the
18th as was first announced.

LEAVE THE SOLDIER HIS PIPE.

Resolutions adopted by a meeting OF
temperance workers cali on Presl-
dent Wilson, all churches and all chris
tian people TO join the resoluters in a
movement to eliminate pipes, cigarets
and all forms of tobacco from the
comfort kits of soldiers.
The plea will not get far. Without de-
tense of tobacco we all know how
necessary it is to the comfort of the
men who use it. Neither the Red Cross,
the president nor the people will give
moments consideration to the de-
mand. The men who use tobacco will
be supplied with it while the war lasts.
The trouble with the resolution is
that it is inconsequential compared
with the emergency. The world would
be better off without tobacco, no doubt
Of that, but the world is at war and
men are freely offering their lives in
defense of this country.
We are certainly not going to at
tempt to throw greater restrictions
about those men in camp and in
trenches than we attempt to enforce
at home.
There are degrading vices which
need our attention much more than the
mild vice of smoking tobacco. We hao
best employ our energies against those
soldiers pipe away from him.
