The Rock Island Railroad Company Is not liable for the injury of Miss Elma Johnson, of Johnson County, whloh resulted when a brakeman In their employ de livered a love message, weighted with a signal torpedo,- to her last Summer. The Iowa Supreme Court so decided to day. From the court record it appearea that as Miss Johnson's home was near the railroad, it became the brakeman's habit to throw personal notes from tne tra(n on which he was passing. One day he desired to send a message to the girl and a signal torpedo was the hand iest weight he could nna. a Bister ot Miss Johnson carried the torpedo weighted message to her, but in some manner she dropped It and was hurt in the explosion. The court, in Its opin ion today, said: "Like other departments of govern ment, the courts are progreBBlng along some lines. But It will be some time before the courts can hold that a mere aot of courtship can be deemed refer- rable to the commands of the em ployer." The 'verdict of tne lower oourt in fa vor ot the railroad company was af firmed. Jefferson Association Elects. JEFFERSON. Or, May 16.
