LINCOLN, Jan. 30(Speclal.)-A case
from AtcCook Involving the right of
health officials of a city to place ob
structlon across a walk to keep people
from passing n house under quarantine
was decided In supreme court today
ngalnst tho Board of Health.
In June, 1910, there was an epidemic of
Kcarlet fever In McCook and a number
of houses were quarantined. In order to
guard against further spread of tho dis
ease tho city authorities caused ropes to
he stretched from the porch of ono
house across the walk and attached to a
ctako driven In tho curb line, ono rope
being about thirty Inches " from the
ground and tho other about four feet.
The plaintiff, Mattlo Sheets, a young
matron In delicate health, while walking
,along tho walk about 8 o'clock In tho
evening fell over the ropes causing seri
ous consequences. Sho Biled the city, but
tho case was decided against her In the
district court and she appealed.
The supreme court holds that the Hoard
of Health has a right to use certain
methods to prevent the spread of dlf case,
but if It allows those methods to become
defective and refrains from curing tho
defect and refrains from curing the defect
and Injuries result becauso of such de
fects the city Is liable. .In this caso the
evidence showed that tho ropes had
loosened and no light was placed at the
point.
Mother Secure Child.
The right of a mother to the custody of
her child Is not lost beyond recall by an
act of relinquishment performed under
circumstances of temporary distress Is the
oplllon of the Nebraska supremo court
in an appeal made by Stephen W. and
Alice Bryant to retain possession of Itob
crt Li. Kendall, Jr., an Infant child of
Alvlra K. Britton.
Mrs. Britton had married her husband
In Lincoln, where the child was born. The
husband failed to support his family and
tho wlfo took the child and moved to
Omaha. She obtained employment as
ticket-seller at a picture show, but was.
taken ill and had to go to a hospital.
She app)led to Bryant for asslBtatnce anH
an arrnngemcnt was made whereby tho
latter were to take care of the child
until such time as the mother could fur
nish Its support. Later sho signed an
agreement relinquishing the child to tho
Bryants, but ho was never adopted.
After, returning from tho hospital Airs.
Britton went to live with the Bryants,
and after securing a dlvorco from her
husband married her present husband,
John Britton. In tho divorce decree she'
waJ given possession of the child. After
her second marriage sho asked for pos
eesslon of the child, which was denied
her.
Tho evidence showed that the Bryants
had failed to send tho child to school
'only a portion of the time after reaching
school age, failed to send him to church
and Sunday school and Were in the habit
of. taking him tot dances and kept him
all night. On, tho other hand, It was
shswn that the homo of tho child's par
ents was under church and school In
fluences and a desirable place for him,
and the higher court affirms the lower
court, giving 'the mother the custody of
tho child.

ceased, up for the second time, was on
hearing for damages against the Union
Pacific railroad for the death of the de
ceased. Tho Jury In the trial In the dis
trict court of Douglas county brought In
a verdict for Zltnlck for $9,500. Tho su
preme court believes the Judgment cx-
cesslvo In that the interest on that
amount would bring In as much aas Zlt
nlck contributed to the family and tho
principal would still romatn. Tho court
therefore cuts the Judgment to $7,000. The
opinion is' by Judge Lct.'on.
Zltnlc was at work cleaning out the
switch points on the defendant company's
railroad In Omaha. It was the custom of
the company, according to ttie plaintiff,
to carry a man on tho front board of Its
switch engines to warn workers ofjthe
approach of the' engine. t)ne this partic
ular morning It was cold' and Zltnlc was
wrapped up about his head and depended
Upon the man on the engine to warn htm.
'He was struck and killed by an englno
which had not provided a man as a look
out and negligence pn the part of the
company waa the basis of the suit.
Hoffman Case Ilevemed.
Tho Judgment of tho district court of
Douglas county Is reversed In a case
wherein John Hoffman, an employo of
the McKeen Motor company, sued the
company and secured a Judgment. The
higher court holds that "there a verdict
Is so clearly wrong as to induce the be
lief on -,the part of the reviewing court
that It must have been found through
passion, prejudice, mistake or tome
means not apparent In the record, It will
bo set aside.
Hoffman had been hurt by a box fall
ing from a truck which was being loaded
and set out that sufficient assistance was
not furnished him to handle tho work
safely. '
ThU Verdict Stand.
Another damage caso from Douglas
county Is ono In which tho supreme court
refuses to Interfere with tho Judgment
of tho lower court. Tho case was brought
by Thomas B. Murray, administrator of
the cstato of Henry B. Miller, against
the Omaha Transfer company, In which
Miller died from tho effects of injuries
recovled by being run over at Sixteenth
and Cuming streets by a wagon In
charge of an employe of tho company.
The suit waa for $15,000 and a verdict was
secured fpr $1,000.

More "Bread and Butter' Questions
Answered
by th
Man of the House
Suestion What do you think of "Glen
t"?
Answer It's great! Best thing that ever came
to tlifs house!
Q.Why?
A. Because it cuts a slice from a biff expense item
and gives the kiddles and me more of what we like.
Q How does "GlendaU" do that?
A. The wife never says "be careful, butter is
going up," now. So we dig in nnd get all we want
on our bread and cakes and baked potatoes and the
like. You ought to see the kiddies go to it.
Q. Is it good for them?
A. I've looked that up 6lnce Armour and Com
pany commenced advertising and I find every food
expert in the land saying this article is every bit
as good as butter. I syiy better, because it's good
every time; not good one time and only fair or bad
another time.
Q. Why so much confidence in "Glen
date"? A. Tbe U.S. Inspected" stamp certifies purity.
Armour nnd Company guarantee the quality,
Q. Going to stick to "Glendale" ?
A. Sure thing! We tike it. And see what it
gives us. More to cat and still money saved. Why,
the wife bought little Dick nn overcoat' with what
she saved in three months by using "Glendale".
