Amos ColIess-Alfred Rysrson De-
fsndant in Auto Accident.

Special to Times Republican.
Nevada Dec. 31.-Damage cases as-
gregating $4,000 were filed for trial at
the January term Of court in this
county Saturday. Two Of them grew
out Of fatality on the Ames-Huxley
road on Nov. IS. when one woman was
killed and two men were seriously In
iured, and the other Is an alienation
case.
Warren w. Winslow, a civil engineer
of Ames, says that Immediately after
he married Niva Nichols on April 20,
1917, his mother in-law, Mrs. Annie
Nichols began to take full charge Oh
affairs of his household. He says that
out of love and respect for his VIE
he stood it for time and then when
he resented it and escorted her from
the house. she prevailed upon his wire
to leave with her.
The wife has now applied for d.
vorce and Winslow has filed an &C
ton for damages in the sum of S25,00o
which he claims that he has suffered
because of the alienation of. the al
fections Of his wife by the mother-in-
law.
All of the persons are known In
Ames, the plaintiff being a young
civil engineer, a graduate of l. S. &,
owns a fine home valued at $4,000,
and is capable of making 5000 a
month. according to the petition for
divorce which the wife recently filed.
Result Of Accident.
William Ripkey. OF Palestine town
ship, who was so badly injured in the
accident when the Ryerson Ford col
lided with a motorcycle on which he
was riding on Nov. IS, when Mrs. Car
re Anderson. an occupant OF the Ford.
was killed, that he lost one leg and
has since been confined to a hospital,
is suing Alfred Ryerson, of near Hulk
ley, for $4,000 damages. He states
that Anderson was driving at reck-
less speed without lights after sun
down and was responsible for the &C

Obey Van Gundy, Of Slater. who was

cycle and was also injured, asks for
damages Of $4,000 for the injuries
which he received, and alleges the same
cause for action.
Emma Ripkey, sister Of the in
jured man, who was also riding on
the motorcycle, was severely bruised
up, but was not seriously injured. Mrs.
Carrie Anderson, the Des Moines
woman, died shortly after the accident
occurred. She was sister Of Ryerson

for wagon mine coat u approved 40
the city fuel vceqapission liked Il and
Mr.. webster Approved It. In other
words the fuel administration will not
interfere with the 95.16 price for wagon
mine coal at retail. which Is the coal
from the mines about Des Moines.
Fuel administration officials say they
regard the matter as closed. Des
Moines operators wanted more than
.$5.15."
Mr.. Webster said this was In accord
ance with his understanding. So far
as he was advised the price OF coal
delivered by wagon from local mines
was not changed and would remain as
fixed by the local board.
Mr.. Webster said the only advice he
had received on the subject was con-
tanned in the following dispatch OF
Thursday:
'.Referring to retail price. Des
Moines: Price fxed at $576: price Tor
delivery direct to consumer from mine
or track by wagon should be ex-
amined by local committee and liked
by them or yourself and must be final
ly determined by them or yourself. we
are not taking action because OF the
manifest impossibility Of our doing
justice to such problem at this dis
tance."
II the federal authorities had In
tended to revise the action Of the local
board, they could not have used the
language Of the message, Mr. Webster
thinks.
The state administrator said he
would return to Des Moines Monday,
and intimated hat he would apply to
Washington for a. definite statement
that would put an end to the existing
confusion.
Meanwhile the local coal dealers are
not inclined to doubt that the 1918
ruling applies to deliveries from local
mines as we'll as to outside coal. 1t
is understood that few already have
put the higher price into effect, tho
it is known that some continued to sell
at $3.50 Saturday giving their patrons
35-cent rebate checks, pending final de-
cison on the $5.15 price.

Rain Has Followed Gunless Battles.

That rain follows great battles Is a
tradition that has persisted for cen.
turtles, and the fact-if fact it be-has
usually been attributed to the concus-
sion of the air caused by heavy artil-
lery firing. But a correspondent Of
Nature cites a pass &c from Plutarch
telling Of a battle Of Caius Marius
against the Teutons in 102 B. @. in
which that ancient historian wrote:
1T is well known that extraordinary
rains generally follow great battles, as
If the gods decided to wash and puri-
fy the earth, or as If blood and corrup-
ton, by the moisture and heavy va
pors they engendered, thickened the
cir which Is changed by the most tri-

COURTS CONVENE:
Wednesday, May Is. 1917.

When the president issues his call,
tor those who come within the mill
tary age limit, to register at their re-
spective polling places all over the
country, we hope and feel that there
will be no slackers in Cumberland
:. county.
Our people are just as patriotic as in
any other part of the union and the
material to be found here Is such as
will make the very best class Of SOL
diers In some instances young men
may very likely be of more real help
to the nation by staying on the farm
than by enIsting. 1t will be no dis
grace for any young man TO remain as
q food producer when his services in
that way are worth more than in the
ranks. Food IS Just as much of ne
cesslty as soldiers and those who grow
food are discharging a patriotic duty
of the highest kind, but there should
be no Sinking to avoid joining the
c0iors. The way matters are now
there seems very little opportunity for
the Stacker to escape service any more
than the willing volunteer.
The quota of this county Is expected
to be from 50 to rs, which can easily
