Petition for Rehearing Argued.
B. F. Jones returned Monday from
Salem where he protected the inter
ests of Independence In the famous
case of Krebs Bros. vs. City of Inde
pendence. The case is well-known
here and it is not worth while to re
late it. Petition for rehearing was
argued before the supreme court last
week and the decision of the court
has not been rendered up to this
time.
