i RLOOSTON GETS PHONE Judge Spooner Decides For Plaintiff in Case Against Telephone Company. COMPANY MUST INSTALL TELE- PHONE IN SALOON. Evidence of Defense Not Suffi- cient to Prove That the Plaintiff Swore. Judge Spooner Saturday after- noon handed down a decision in the case of Louis Blooston vs. the Iron Range Electric Telephone company which was brought to compel the telephone company to install a telephone in the plaint- iff’s place of business on Minne- sota avenue. The phone had been removed from the establishment because- of the alleged use of abusive language by the proprie- tor, Mr. Blooston. The following memorandum is annexed to the decision: The rules of law in this cause ‘were not a subject of controversy, it being admitted that the res- pondent is obliged to furnish equal telephonic facilities to all who apply for service and that, o1 the other hand, all patrons are bound to recognizeand adhere to reasonable~ rules and regula- tions of the company. One rule of the company is that no inde- cent, profane or offensive lan- guage shall be used over its wire, This regulation has many times been pronounced a reason- able one by courts and a violation of it is sufficient cause for deny- ing the offender telephone ser- vice. This proposition of law is not disputed by the relator and the only question to determine, therefore, is one of fact viz: Did the relator use the language at- tributed to him by respondent? For obvious reasons, courts should stoutly insist on the strict observance of this salutary rule by patrons of telephone com- panies. With telephone wires running into so large a percent- age of homes throughout the land, language of an offensiye nature uttered in one quarter may reach the ears of persons for whom it was not intended, and this, coupled with the fact that operators—many of whom are, as in the present instance— ladies of refinement—must be protected from insult—is alone a sufficient reason why courts should compel the strictest com- pliance with the rule. On the other hand, to deny a Masks at Peterson’s. PRINCESS Grocery Co. Don’t forget that our line of Canned Goods is the best. Our Princess Brand Coftees and Teas cannot be beaten.

Foster was taken with hydrophobia this morning and in a fitof madness came very near biting Wm. Chisholm, night, bartender at the Golden Club saloon and John Cline; night patsy rolman. The dog was seized with the fit very suddenly and with- out a moment’s waruning made for Patrolman Cline, who narrow- ly -escaped being bitten. Mr. Chisholm attempted to assist in capturing the animal but the dog turned upon him also. He escap: ed, however, and the canine was finally caught and taken to Dr. Foster’s residence on Lake Boule vard, where it was dispatched this morning. The fortunate circumstance connected with the affair is that it happened at an early hour this morniug when very few people were on the streets. It is claimed that a number of ocher dogs are simi- larly affected and every precau- tion should be taken to guard against the spread of the disease. HAZEN ASKS FOR DAMAGES Wants $5,000 Damages For Personal Injuries Sus- tained at Kelliher. A. B. Hazen of this city has started suit in district court against the village of Kelliher to recover $5,000 personal injuries which he alleges to hove sustain- ed on account of a defective side- walk. The plaintiff alleges that on October 29 he received injuries to the amount named by falling from a sidewalk just south of the Craig Hotel at Kelliher and that by reason of such injuries he has not retained his perfect health. The village of Kelliher and Timothy Craig are named as the defendants, and the trial will un- doubtedly come up before the spring term of district court at Bemidji. The incident occurred while Mr. Hazen was on a campaign tour just before election. DUDLEY GOES TO SOUTH CAROLINA Former Blackduck Man Will Engage in Logging Busi- ness in the South. Robert Dudley of Blackduck, one of the oldest residents of the county, has disposed of all his in- terests at Blackduckand through- out the county and will leave in the near future for Florence, S. C., near which city his brother, Frank Dudley, is now located. Mr. Dudley intends to engage in the logging business and has purchased a large amount of tim- ber land in the south which he intends to log. person the privilege of a tele- phone—a means of communica- tion which has come to be so use- ful, and in many cases, especially in business houses, almost indi- spensible, it is a serious matter and one which should not be lightly considered, and the evi- dence should be very clear to warrant a court in divesting a person of that right. In the case at bar the testimony on the part of the respondent was counter- balanced and flatly contradicted by the relator, both sides having the same number of witnesses to the main fact, equally credible, and none of whom were impeach- ed in any way. There were many opportunties for respondent’s in the words used or in the source from whence the language came, while there was little ~hance for a mistake on the part of relator, under rules of evi- dence governing such cases, is not sufficient to overcome the stout denial of relator’s wit- | nesses, DISTURBANCE | witnesses to be mistaken, either |- Eit,ension of Minnesota & - International Now An Assured Fact.
