and Doyener to enter = suit for alleged
libel agalnAtth RegIter, claiming damages
in the sum Of 5000. 1t will be remem-
bsrsd that Some time ago Mrs, Williams
entered suit as the next friend OF her
daughter against Clint Pickett, claiming
5000 damages for seduction and breach
Of promise. When the case was called
for trial the plaintiff was non.Buited on
the grounds that Mrs. Williams was q
married woman, and not responsible for
the costs,
The day this disposition was made OF
the case Mrs. Williams visited the Court
House seeking Pickett. The RsgiIItr the
next day wrote this visit up in . very sen
Sational way, saying it Was Elsa Nixon
who made the call, and representing her

could only be printed by mean Of dsshes.
Miss Nixon demanded q correction, aud
the Register stated the next morning that
it was Mrs. Williams who created the
scene described in its columns, This eI-
planation was entirely unsatisfactory to
the parties who considered themselves
aggrleved, hence the libel suit.
Mrs. Williams denies that she used any
language unbecoming q lady, She was
annoyed Al the sudden failure Of her case,
but nothing took place at the Court
House that would Justify the RtgHtr's
