are legal age, the uncle a bachelor
and the nephew a husband and ia

service. Both receive mail through

John was drawn 70 serve on the
jury during the September term of
court. John received due notice of
the fact but he is not sure whether
it is John or John they want. John
called up the clerk of courts, S. j..

been drawn and how in Johns name

tended to be enforced, and Judge
Boies held in favor of the teacher.
1t was claimed in the trial and
in the appeal that the superintend-
ent had no authority or power to
change the term of the written con-
tract which was between the school
board and the teacher and that the
5000 is properly recoverable as da-
images agreed upon by the parties.
The Manchester school board in
past years had several teachers who
Jumped their contract for higher
pay and caused considerable trouble
TO the board in finding others for
their places and this clause was put
in the contracts in order to deter
the teachers from breaking their
contracts and the board is deter
mined to have the decision of the
Supreme court as to its validity, be-
lieving that their superintendent
could not waive or change any of
the terms of the teachers contracts.

Manchester, Iowa-The directors
of the Manchester school district

Judge H. B. Boies in the Delaware
District court in the case brought by
the school authorities against Miss
Ruth c. Dudley, a teacher who
signed a contract to teach during
the school year of 1920-l921, and
later signed another contract and
taught at Fernald in Story county.
The contract signed by Miss
Dudley contained a clause guaran-

tract by the teacher, "and in de-
fault thereof, agrees to the for
fixture of all sums remaining due
and unpaid under this contract,
and in addition thereto agrees to
pay the said district the sum
of 5000 as liquidated damages, within
ten days after default is made

the 5000 as liquidated damages and
the defense was based on represen-
tations alleged to have been made

Enraged Bull Cores Man to Death

Lisbon, Iowa-While feeding APP
piles to Guernsey bull George
earned, residing just west of here,
was suddenly attacked by the ami
NAL and before he could escape was
impaled on its horns, which pene-
trated his intestines and passed en-
tirely through the body. When dis
covered the bull was still engaged
in attacking earned, who was so
badly injured that the doctors could
give no assurance of his survival.
He seemed to rally slightly, and until
pneumonia interviewed the family was
encouraged to hope that he would
recover but this was superseded by
complete relapse and death came
soon afterwards.

Oelwein Inventor Patents Novel
Brick Jointer

B. T. Griffith, real estate dealer
of this city, and erstwhile expert
bricksetter, evidently has not for
gotten the tricks of his trade al
though he has not actively engaged
in it lately except as occasion de-
manded.
An occasion recently presented
itself when the proprietors of the
new theatre on South Frederick,
asked him to do the brick work on
the magnificent front of the new
building. Mr.. Griffith consented
and the job as completed bears
testimony to his status as a brick
setter of no mean ability.
But another thing resulted from
this Job. 1t has been the means of
causing this gentleman to patent
what is called a brick jointer. This
is an apparatus for scraping the
mortar from between the bricks
sufficiently to present finished and
perfect piece of workmanship
Hitherto they had an instrument
which had to be adjusted to differ
cnt sizes of bricks and space: How
ever Mr.. Griffith's patent obviates
this necessity, as by means Of a
spring. the workman using the tool
can adjust it as he goes along
without the necessity of even laying
II out of his hand.-Oelwein lowan.

Chandlar Pay Limited;
 Grub and Wood Scarce
Nenana News.

Writing to M. J. Martin, of this city. under date of October l3, Joe Warner, who left Nenana with an outfit on one of the last boats bound up the Yukon, tells of activities in the Chandlar re- zion,
 He landed at Beaver, on the Yukon, tue latter part of last September and moved his outfit to the Chandlar coun- try, which is approximately 40 miles from Beaver. After esta blishing camp and making things snug for the winter he returned to Beaver on October 13 for the rest of his outfit and to mail his letter.
 Q. J. Nicholson and Newt, on Big creek. and Curley Smith, on Squaw, are said to be the only miners, as far as he knows, in the money. and he says they are taking out 8 winter dump which, he predicts, wtli net rsnen7 substantial sum.
 At the time of writing, wood and grub were said to be scarce in the camp, owing to the fact chat the lakes, which are fairly numerous in that re- zion, had not frozen over, making the hauling of supplies almost impossible.
 The od-timer says that he can get lays, but cannot get working interest on any of the creeks in exchange for sinking & hole, as is customary in most camps in the North. He concludes his letter with the statement that the camp is in the making yet and that there are many creeks still opeu to prospectors for stalking
