COURT AND ROAD'S RELIEF| Mills $ Rules Such County Judge Jurisdiction in Cases. | CRESTON, ia., Dee. 2 .ii;m Dect- | sion has been given by Judge E. B. Wood- | ruff in the district court at Glenwood In the case of George Mann, a Burlington fireman of this city, against the Burling- ton rellef department. It effects materially one of the rulings of the department, which provides that In case of dispute over the physical condition of a member enjoy- ing the relief the matter shall be referred to the superintendent of the department and from him to the advisory board. Judge Woodruff claims that this is in direct op- position to the authority of the courts and # Dsurpation of their judicial powers, and on this ground ordered a verdict for Mann | amounting to the relief due him from the first of May,/ the tfme at which be was injured, tofhe first of August, the time at which he again went to work. A differ- ence arose at the time Mann was injurad in regard to his physical condition. His own physician maintained that he was not | able to resume his dutles and the relief le- partment maintained that he was and at the end of a week ordered him back. He refused and failed ‘to’ appeal his case, as the rules provided, hence the company maintained that he failed to live up to his agreement and forfeited any claims he might have had to the benefft of the sick relief. The attorneys based their argu- ments qo.this and refused to go Into the question of his physical condition. After the judgment was retwrned the company filed notice of appeal to the supreme court. rence Olinger Missing.

Sooner than the women them- | celves, other people recognized the va'ue of the woman's club as a disseminating| agency and from the very beginning per- who have had something to exploit have endeavored to enlist the clubs in their | enterprises. All manner of projects worthy | and unworthy have been brought to the| clubs and in the same proportion the state | and general federations have been solicited | for larger schemes. It was not until the| General Federation pledged its membership of half a milllon women to combat the evils of child labor and accomplished so much that the possibilities of the national organi- zation were fully realized and since then almost every other national organiza- tion and hundreds of others have sought its support in the advancement of some particlar plan. A few years ago these requests for co- operation became so numerous that # was impossible for the executive committee to investigate them al! and a committee was appointed for this purpose and while this plan has worked well in the national the state organizations are still much em- barassed by such requests.

VERDON, Neb., Dec. 23.—(Special.)— Ralph Garries, an 18-year-old Verdon boy, has been making a gallant fight for life and limb the last six months, asisted by the best physicians of Omaha, where he remains while taking medical treat- ment. His father is an Evangelical min- ister at Verdon. Ralph was a bright student, and ambitious to work during vacation last summer, and secured the place as night watchman at the Missouri Pacific water tank hers. One Sunday night last June he fell asléep at his post, and when he heard a pasenger train comirg, in a dazed and half awakened condition, he rushed into the moving train sustaining terrible injuries. For awhile it was thought amputation of both feet would be necesary, owing to the great wounds. Finally skin grafting was resorted to, and 'at Thanksgiving the young man was deemed well enough for the first visit home. The Missouri Pacific train was ten and one-half hours making the ninety mile trip from Omaha to Verdon, and the long and steady jar loosened particles of the grafted skin, ‘When young Garries returned to Omaha |a few days later, the great patches of flesh that had healed again became raw sores, and once more was the fight made to save his life and prevent amputation, and today the surgeons say the young man is the winner. Bond Jumper is Caught. BROKEN BOW, Neb., Dec. 23.—(Special.) —W. E. Edwards, charged with cattle stealing, who jumped his bonds last fall, was brought in yesterday by Sheriff Ken- nedy, who had ordered his arrest at Calla- way. Edwards, who formerly ran a farm several miles from town, was taken into custody last August charged with having cut out a bunch of his nelghbors cattle and driving them to Ansley, where they were sold to B. J. Tierney. Becoming suspicious, however, the buyer stopped payment on his check and Edwards was brought up for preliminary- examination, which he walved. Bonds were furnished by the prisoner’s father, who took a mort- gage on his son's remaining property in order to secure himself. When the next term of district court convened Edwards failed to report to Judew Hostetler and the bonds were forfeited. Since that time nothing was heard of him until a few days ago, when Sheriff Kennedy got wind of him near Arnold, where he was reported to be working. Learning that his man in- tended going to Callaway after a load of coal, the sheriff telephoned Marshal Penny to make_the arrest, which was done with some little difficulty, as Edwards nearly made his escape when he discovered the officer was after him.
