Neil Monroe, the boy burglar who invaded the store of Vic Jennings on East Broadway 4 week ago and stole several dollars, was the vietim, or, perhaps, the hero of a transfor- mation scene yesterday morning. When he was first arrested he was as thoroughly a disreputable looking object as a boy 7 years of age could well be. But yesterday his mother appeared on the scene, and in spite of his dirty, unkempt appearance, procecded to embrace him. A bath was next in order, and when it was over the boy was not exactly picturcsque, but a fine looking boy. He was the means of bringing his father and mother back to one another. arated a long time ago, and ever been living apart, Mr. Monroe in Mills county and his wife in Shelby. For a year and a haif Mrs. Monroe had not seen her son, for she became unable to support him and had him brought to the Christian home in this city, where he remained for some time. After he had become thoroughly acquainted with the home and those belonging to it, he craved a change, and from that time on it was almost a daily occurrence for him to run away. He could not be induced to remain in the insti- tution under any circumstances. The last time he disappeared he stayed away longer than usual, and it was not until a day or two ago that the management of the home made an_effort to have him brought back. The lad's father also heard that he had been In keeping at the city jail for the past week, and he was at the jail yesterday morn- ing at the same time with his wife. Both of them united in asking the court to reles their unruly offspring, saying they could s port him without resorting to charity for assistance. Mr. and Mrs. Monroe had talked over their own differences of opinion and de- cided to set up their lares and penates once more, and with the understanding that they would be good and take care of their off- spring he was turned over to them by Judge Have a Most D JUD 3 SHIKAS, Wite's Negligence i+ a Bar to Recovery of Damitges by the Judges Caldwell, Sanborn and Thayer, sit- ting as a United States court of appeals at St. Paul, have just let go of a case in which the attorneys of western Iowa, and In fact the whole country, are considerably inter- ested, inasmuch as a point of law hitherto undecided is disposed of and Judge Shiras, who_ruled upon it in the district court of the United States last fall in this city, is re- versed. The case is that of W. 0. B. Honey against the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Rally company, and the plaintiff demanded a judg- ment for damages by reason of injuries to his wife by a train belonging to the defend- ant. Mrs. Honey was hurt while crossing the railroad tracks at Red Oak, and on bringing a suit for damages failed to get a judgment, the jury holding that she had been guilty of contributory negligence. The question of whether or not her husband was barred from recovering damages by rea- son of the same negligence was the point raised, and Judge Shiras held that he was not. The jury gave him a verdict for $3,000, The company took the case to the court of appeals, and it was argued at length a few weeks ago. Yesterday a telegram was re- ceived announcing that the court had re- versed Judge Shiras' opinion, holding that the negligence of the party injured was a bar to recovery by either her or her hus- and. The case is remanded to the district court of southern lowa for another trial, and it will come up at the September term.
