In District Court

In the case of J.C. Watson against Jerry Forney—a case arising out of a dispute concerning the taking of ice from the river on Mr. Watson’s place—the Judge sustained a demurrer to most of the items of damage claimed and the jury awarded the plaintiff fifteen dollars attorney’s fee for a previous case. The plaintiff had recovered damages in a previous case and the court held that he was barred from further recovery at this time.

The net proceeds from the home talent play given two nights last week was $306, of which half went to the director and the other half to the Priscilla Club. The club appropriated $100 to the running expenses of the City Library and the remaining $53 they will use for the library. A large table and chairs that will match the Mission bookcases, which the club has before purchased for the library, will be bought. This is a fine use of the money and the club deserves the appreciation of the town.

Speaking of the Woman’s Suffrage proposition that is to be submitted to the voters, the humor of the situation does not escape you. Only the men are to be permitted to vote on the question of whether women shall have the right to vote. Or is that humor?
