Judge Reed handed down an import.
ant decision in the United States dis
trict court at Fort Dodge. Mrs. Bertha
Bradley, Of Algona. brought suit for
$4,000 against the New York Life Insur.
ance company, that being the amount of
the policy held by her deceased hus-
band. According to the testimony In
the case, Bradley had made application
for a policy for 5000 and payment for
the first premium had been accepted.
The application had been approved by
the examining physician, sent to the
head offices, where it was also approved
and policy sent to the insurance agent
at Algona for delivery to Mr.. Bradley.
The agent was sick at the time and fail.
ed to make immediate delivery. Brad.
ley was suddenly taken sick and died
before the policy was delivered. The
court held that no contract was com.
pleted until the policy was delivered in
to the hands of the policyhOlder, and
that the widow could only collect the
amount of the first premium payment.
The insurance agent at Algona was
held to be the agent only of the COM
pany and not Il mutual agent or the
agent of Mr.. Bradley.
A lumber dealer at the town of Hart
ley. in O'Brien county, was chosen a
member of the town council. While
serving in this capacity he sold the
town bill of lumber. Some of his fel-
low councilmen objected to the sale,
claiming that it was a violation of law,
and the bill for the purchase price was
turned down. The lumber dealer
brought suit to recover the amount due
and Judge Hutchison, of the district
court, decreed that inasmuch as the
price of the lumber was reasonable the
bill should be paid. An appeal was TAX
en- to the state supreme court and that
tribunal sustained the decision of the
lower court and ordered the bill paid.
This knocks out the law that provides
that business men while holding a po-
sitiCn on the town council or the school
board can not sell any commodity to
the corporation which they are serving
in an official capacity.
Federal court in Des Moines passed
judgment on a number of men who

in charge of the property. Among ten
men convicted are three first lieuten.

stolen goods, believing that the men had

the goods belonged. One grocery firm
in Des Moines bought goods to the value
of $500. The men received various
terms of sentence ranging from a fine

ii is when no one remains alive who

old franciscan missions of California
now possess SO great a fascination for

Ancient Consielio Castle.
During the middle ages Trent was
typical fortified city crowned with an
old feudal castle. Built I'm 1890, this
stronghold, Castle COnsiglio, has come
down to the present generation In a
beautiful state of preservation. While
the Austrians held Trent the place
was used as kind of town Jail.
Ceasare Battisti, native of Trent, an
ardent prO-Italian who had the nerve
to enlist in the Italian army against
Austria, was shot in the courtyard of
the castle, and is today the town and
the Italian nations martyr.
Stored in the wonderful old castle
were $4,000 captured Austrian rifles.
Piles of gas masks, trench tools, MUIR
derOus trench knives and other odds
| and ends of fighting mans equipment
were stacked in several of the large
rooms.
In one of the main corridors was a
| typical Austrian torture machine. 1t
consisted of two rings the first about
second about four feet above ground.
The practice was to fasten a prison
er's ankles to the lower ring by means
of piece of rope, while The unfortu-
nate mans hands were tied behind
him through the upper ring. This
threw all the prisoners weight on the
wrists and ankles. Usually a man
tainted after several hours.
In the highest room of the place, a
circular chamber of the tallest tower,
was all that remained of a German
wireless outfit. The operators had
made themselves comfortable in the
damp old place by putting storm win
dows in the lOOphOles that were orig
inally cut for the convenience of cross
bow men.

Towns of the Trentino.
Trent in itself is a rather incOnsid-
cradle town. 1t had a wartime pop
ulation of some $4,000 persons, large
majority of whom were Italians, we
were told. In peace times the pOpula-
ton is around 10000. But In the
whole province Of Trentino there are
more than half a million people, and
IL Is the province, as well as the town,
that Italy fought for at the cost of
ACC, 900 men killed and nearly a million
wounded.
Back of the Italian demand for the
Trentino is q sentimental reason, and
practical commercial reason. For
the sentimental and national side first,
Italy points out, through her biggest
statesmen, generals and propagandists,
that 1900 of the 100000 persons liv-
ing in the Trentino are Italians speak
ing the Italian language. Trent as
well rs the smaller towns in the
TrcntinO, such as Rovereto, Ala, Arco,
LevicO aud Pergine, are filed with
buildings of Italian design, decorated
with Italian art and using the Italian
language in the schools and offices.
We passed through several of these
towns. The people on the streets were
as Italian as the street crowds of
Padua, Verona and Vincenza, cities of
the Venetian plain through which we
passed in the earlier stages of our trip.

for keeping her tricolor flying from
