MOVE TO DIRECT
COURT'S VERDICT
ANCHOR COAL AND MINING CO.
ATTORNEYS WOULD TAKE STIN.
ER CASE FROM JURY.
Upon various grounds the Anchor
Coal and Mining company's attorneys
are arguing to the Wapello county dis
trict court to direct a verdict in their
favor in the damage suit for $2,500
brought by Thomas Stiner, who was
injured in the mines at Laddsdale. At
the conclusion of the evidence ^present
ed by the plaintiff Stiner, the defend
ant company immediately made the
motion to direct a verdict on the
grounds that Stiner had shown con
tributary negligence that he did not
establish negligence in the company
and because the jury would not be
justified in returning a verdict for
him. The defendant's counsel main
tained tbat Stiner was injured because
he assumed the risk in remaining
when' he knew he was in danger. The
defendant's attorneys argued to the
court that Stiner knew his danger and
did not endeavor to avoid it,. and that'
the defendant did not violate a duty,
while the plaintiff was not free from
negligence. They maintained that the
evidence showed conclusively that'the
Injuries to.Stiner were received a» a
result of his own risk and the al
leged negligence which caused the in
jury .was that of a fellow servant and
not the company.
Two Seek Divorce.
Two petitions for divorces have
been filed with Clerk Phillips. OlUe
Abshir, who waB married to L/Ula Ab
shir in McGrady, N. C., January 1,

decree on this ground. Desertion and
adultery are the charges made against
Harry F. Carney by his wife, Edna,
who asks the court to give her a de
cree of divorce and restore her to her
maiden name of Edna Musselman.
They were married in Leavenworth,
Kansas, November 31, 19Q8.

I. & P. Ry. has also been dismissed.

cree of divorce from John P. Swenson
and the custody of their five minor
children.

court, the claims of C. W. Whitmore
for $15 and Ramsell and Morrlssey for'
SI5 against the estate of Annie Hearol
have been allowed, and the court has
issued an order providing for the sale
of the real estate of Elijah Eggers. de

WOULD PREVENT
THROAT TROUBLE
DR. PETERSON NOTIFIES TEACH
ERS NOT TO ALLOW AFFLICT­
ED PUPILS AT SCHOOL.
Dr. A. H. Peterson, city health phy
sician, today notified all of the teach
ers in the schools not to allow any
child to attend school who is suffering
from sore throat. The action of the
city physician is to prevent diphtheria
which is very prevalent at this time of
the year. He believes in the old adage,
"an ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure," and if care is taken,
Ottumwa will not be in danger of a
diphtheria epidemic. The health of Ot
tumwa is excellent for this time of
year. The only contagious disease in
the city was pronounced cured by the
health officer and the quarantine lifted
yesterday afternoon by Sanitary Offi
cer Perry Marshall. Dr. Peterson and
Sanitary Officer Marshall are taking
great care to prevent the spread of
contagious diseases in the city, and
their efforts have been rewarded by a
clean slate, the first time in the his
tory of Ottumwa in this season. As
aoon as a contagious case is reported,
the family is placed under quarantine
and the embargo is not lifted until the
family is pronounced thoroughly cur
ed.

bership committee took a hurried can
vass of the city yesterday, and brought
back to headquarters the signatures
and membership fees of twenty. The
committee will again resume the work
of capturing new material for this live
association of retailers next Friday,
and the boosters expect to have even
greater success than was theirs yester
day. The committee is composed of
A. H. Nelson, George Haw, Jr., J. K.
Dysart, N. W. Johnson, J. A. Phillips
and Secretary W. J. Berry.
Harrison Jury Complete.
Alma, Feb. 2.—(Special)—The jury
for the case of Sarah Harrison vs. the
city of Albia was filed yesterday and

troduced. At the former trial, the de
cision was against the plaintiff, but
