Lee opened the sealed verdict in the
breach of promise suit Of Christine OF
teson VS.. Osmund Osmundson. Both

ried before, the plaintiff being widow
and the defendant a widower at the
time of his recent marriage for the sec
ond time, but not to the plaintiff Mrs.
Otteson's home is at Jewell Junction.
The defendant was formerly a resident
of Humboldt county, but his present
home is at Morris, III. The alleged en-
gagement was entered into at a time
when the plaintiff was acting as the
defendants housekeeper upon his farm
near Renwick. The plaintiff sued for
$50, 900 heart balm" The most dam
aging testimony introduced upon the
trial was a letter written by the de-
PENDANT to the plaintiffs brother telling
him of the engagement and referring 70

However. the defendant stoutly main
tanned upon the witness stand That the
letter was only a .'jole'-a very eS-
pensive one as it turned out, for the

Secretary Metcalf. who was reared

to Hinshaw. In reply to letter sent
to him by Secretary MetcaR on the
subject Mr.. Hinshaw says:
under a special provision of the law
/ am allowed to issue permits for TAX
ing soft fish from the lakes only and
am going to go just as far as possible
and get fish from these places and
supply them to the consumer at whole
sale prices, which will be from one half
to one third the retail price. Under
favorable conditions we SHOULD be able
to supply 100000 pounds.
However / have made no arrange
ments to take these fish from rivers,
as the law gives me no authority to do
so. have taken up the matter to
know if it could not be done as a war
measure and if so would be glad to-
arrange to take these fish from the
river also. We started this work last
winter and furnished about 200 900
pounds to the consumer at cents for

If, arrangements are made for put

inb between city officials and the four
teen members Of the fire department
for three weeks became acute shortly
after noon yesterday when firemen is
sued a statement in which they said
that they would refuse to accept con-
cessions offered them by the city coun-
Gil
The firemen are getting wages which,
range from $50 month to $50 month
and get every eighth day off. In pre-
senting their claims to the council
some time ago they asked for a fiat
raise Of $40 a month and every fifth
day off. The council offered a S. raise
and one day off in six.
The men give as the reason Of the
request for increase that the money
they are getting is not enough for the
increased cost of living. They fur
ther assert that nearly all Of the other
cities of this class in the state give
more time off.
The firemen assert in addition that
While other cities in Iowa furnish coats,
boots, hats and might hitch" they are
obliged to make these purchases here
themselves.
The city council members say an in
crease of S will make the pay equal
to or better than cities Of the same
class in Iowa. The city officials also
say that one day on in six is as good
as is offered by any Of the other cities
in the state.
The firemen say that city officials
were told some time ago that they
would stop at the end Of this month
if their requests were not granted.
Mayor Potter said that arrangements
had been made to fill any vacancies in
the department. temporarily at least
should members of the department as
