ICY WALKS ARE
IN EVIDENCE
Complaints Heard that Sand
Should be Sprinkled
Early in Morning.

The weather Of the past few days,
delightful as it has been, presents one
disagreeable feature, that has been
commented on to some extent, es-
pecially by people in the residence
districts Of the city. The icy side
walks, resulting from the days thaw
and the nights freezing has made
walking particularly disagreeable,
and especially so in the residence
districts, where the snow has been
piled on the sides of the walk and the
melted snow has frozen zyonto the
walk.
Numerous complaints have been
picked up to the effect hat the icy
walks in the early morning make
walking dangerous and that business
men and women going to work have
been obliged to take to the middle of
the street to insure safety of prog
ress. During the cold spell two days
ago the ice vas well sprinkled with
sand, but subsequent thawing and
freezing has rendered this ineffective.
Several citizens, among them a
prominent attorney, said today, in
speaking Of the condition of the
walks in the residence districts,
that in the early morning they were
in a dangerous condition for pedestri-
ans, and the city would probably save
itself some damages, due to broken
limbs, il it attended to the matter at
once.

70 The Herald late this afternoon an
nounces that the Northwestern Tele-
phone Exchange company in Grand
Forks can charge for the use Of only
one telephone where the company has
duplication, according to a decision
handed down by the state board OF
railroad commissioners.
The decision was given In connec
ton with the attempts made by this
city to compel physical connection
OF the two telephone systems. Where
one man has both the Tri-State and
the Northwestern telephones he will
after February l be entitled to full
service from both .switchboards, but
will be expected to pay for only one
telephone, the decision says.
An order was also issued that phys1-
cal connection must be completed by
June l, 1919.
The telephone company in its ar
Euments before the board c%ontended
that the board did not have jurisdic-
ton because of existing interstate
commerce regulations. but this con-
tention was overruled on the grounds
that reasonable physical connection

The company also contended that
the commissioners under the statutes
have no power to order physical con-
nection between switchboards owned
by the same company, but this. too,
was overruled.

Bangs was informed of the announce

IS
ALLOWED ON
EACH CHARGE,
Jury in Spoonheim-P Peterson
Case Deliberates Nine
teen Hours.

1--WE the jury find for the plaintiff
and against the defendant. and assess
the plaintiffs damages at the sum OF
IS, O00-John D. johnson, foreman"
Thus reads the verdict returned this
forenoon by a jury in the district
court after nineteen consecutive
hours Of elaboration over the evil
dence presented in the SANDER suit
instituted by E. K. Spoonheim against
DR.. o. T. Peterson.
In other words-the amount OF
%$1,666.67 vas allowed by the jury for
each Of the three charges which
formed the causes Of action against
the defendant. AS the accusations
quoted in the complaint number a to-
tai of thirty words, it may be easily
calculated that each Of the SANDER
! Gus words has cost DR.. Peterson APP
proximately $3.50. ~
The Spoonheim-Peterson case
which has been pending before the
district court since January 81, has
attracted much attention. and a large
audience has been gathering in the
court room every day. n.
Originally. suit was brought to re
cover $1,000, but as the taking OF
causes of action was withdrawn
leaving only five for each Of which
$4,000 was asked. When all the
testimony had been presented, the de.
PENDANT made a motion to the court
to dismiss all the complaints, and. in
ruling on the motion the following
day. District Judge Charles M
Cooley granted it as far as the fourth
and fifth cause Of action were con-
cerned. The first, second and third
were allowed to remain-a fact which
meant that the total amount sued for
was reduced to $4,000.
w The Penalized Remarks.
The utterances which! DR.. Peterson
will have to pay for, according to the
jury's verdict, were the following:
II a put spoonheim over the
road at any time"
"Spoonheim and "a. NJ Myrand
have. stolen $4,000 from the North
wood Mill & Light Co."
"Spoonheim obtained $500 from
me under false pretenses."
In his charge to the jury yesterday
that the exact form Of the then al.
legged slanderous remarks was not OF
ultimate Importance, but the sub.
stance of the remarks formed the es.
sential elements.
The jury returned to the jury room
at about 4 o'clock yesterday after
noon and continued to deliberate fol
nineteen hours until a little after I!
o'clock this morn@g. The jurors wer'
taken to a restaurant for supper las
night and breakfast this morning, bu'
otherwise remained closeted in the
court house all during the night.
It is not thought that DR.. Peterson
will appeal the case-at least, nc
definite information of this nature
was forthcoming at a late hour thi
Afternoon. .
