Robert Starr, a Loup City attorney,
acting in behalf on Mrs. Henry Un
zicker and child, has made formal de
| mand upon the Burlington railroad
j company for damages. The claim
: arises from the recent death of Mr. I
j Unzicker from typhoid fever, and i3
based upon the assumption that Mr.;
Unzicker, an employee of the company, j
was supplied impure drinking water, i
as a result of which he contracted ty
phoid fever and died. There isn pros
pect that Ravenna may be made a
party to the suit, it is said. It has been
officially certified that the city water
is absolutely pure and wholesome, and
it is difficult to see how the city could
' in any way be involved in the case.
| but there are so many quirks and
i angles in this law business that one
! can not be sure of anything—particu
I larly when it relates to damage suits
I and the only thing to be done is to
! await developments. Competent coun
| sel is being taken in the matter by the
; city authorities.—Ravenna News.

And we, of all nations, have every reason to
be patriotic for the life, liberty and happiness
our country holds out to us.
