the restaurants about midnight and
started for homeland that's all he re-
members. When found he had lump
on the back of his head, and it is sup
posed that he may have fallen on the
icy street and made unconscious until
the cold rendered him unable to move.
One theory is that he may have been
struck from behind by some one bent
on robbery. He is now being cared for

would have to be resorted to in order
to spare his life.

In the case Of Jeffries vs. Iowa Rail-
way and Light Company, which has
been on trial in the district court for
almost week, the jury Wednesday
night brought in a verdict Of $1,000 in
favor Of the plaintiff. This case was
one Of the most strenuously contested
cases that has been fought in the dis
trict court for many years. The main
issue in the case was the amount Of
damages the plaintiff was entitled to
recover. The defendant contendel that
the plaintiff was not permanently in
jured, and in support OF this contention
produced some noted experts from the
State University Of Iowa, while the
plaintiff relied on the testimony Of To-
lcal physicians and surgeons. The ac-
cident happened on Jan. 10, 1916, at the
intersection Of Fifth avenue and Fourth
