Ed. and Pub j ■■ ... ■ - S. C Tel Co. Wins Case The Lincoln evening papers of last Friday gave tiie decision by the Rail way to in mission in tiie case entitled. K. H Ladegard and Others, com plainants. vs. Sherman County Tele phone Company, defendants." This iv #i> started by a Mr. Ladegard •f Litchfield. Neb., who organized a Farmers' Mutual Telephone Company and built a line paralleling the lines >f the Slterman County Co., and when tiie contracts of the subscribers of • lie Slterman County Co. expired they ordered their phones taken out and built their own line to the city .imits and then tried to compel the company to switch them over their ■ • ard by paying a switching fee. Tliis request was refused and the U' tried at Lincoln in October, and decision handed down I)ee. Stil. We k:u<w nothing of tiie merits of tiie case, but understand many of the farmers had taken phones lack from the Sherman County Co., even before tiie case was started before the Rail way Commission. The decision is too long to give in full, but the last two » .auses are as follows: "There can he no question of tiie right of tiie farm subscribers to con 'tr t their own telephone line, even though by so doing they were enter ing itito competition with the Sher man County Telephone Co., and de creasing tiie earning power of that company to the extent of taking from it seventeen subscribers who we re-paying an annual rental of 415.00 each." Tiie question before tiie Commis -ion is: "Can the Sherman County Telephone Co. be compelled to be je me a party to tiie destruction of its own property?" It is the opinion of the Commission that it is the in tention of all law> to protect persons in their property rights, and that to ! make a ruling such as is asked by the | complainant in this case is not equity and in tiie opinion of the commission the complaint should be dismissed." "It is therefore ordered by tiie Nebraska State Railway Commission that tiie above complaint be. and the 'Sine is hereby dismissed." Made and entered at Lincoln. Xeb.. this -tli day of I»ec. 15*10.

Acting Sect Roebeck Forgery Case Headers of the Northwestern will readily remember the case of the fallow wanted at Brand Island for forgery and arrested by Sheriff Wil liams and turned over to officers from that city, all about a fortnight or a \ littie over since. There has been a good deal of discussion over the ar rest and subsequent release of the fellow and some were inclined to find fault with our sheriff over the matter. The following letter to the sheriff j from the Brand Island chief of police will show the facts in the case and relieve one of the best sheriffs in Nebraska of any blame in the matter: "Brand Island. Neb.. I>ee. t>, 1910— Mr. L. A. Williams, Loud City, Neb..

Whatever lie reported up there as to liis guilt. 1 will say he was ab solutely identified by the parties here, this not being the only time lie lias got into this kind of trouble. He lias forged checks before and was sent to | the asylum twice, being too crazy to send to the penitentiary. Perhaps you saw the item in the dailies some time ago about a man up at Shelton. Neb . standing in the middle of the ri»er with a Bible in liis hand, who tried to make the people believe lie :could walk on the water, but failed, and was taken up by the authorities. He was the same fellow. Hoping this will explain everything. Yours truly.* Fran k Hoag land. Chief of Police.
