LEGAL CHESTNUT.
The L thompson SHIT in the District
Court Again.

Court Again.
The suit of William F. Thompson against
the Pioneer Press to recover $50, 200 dam
ages for alleged libel, commenced yesterday
morning. Thompson was employed as
bookkeeper by the firm of Farnham &
Lovejoy from the spring Of 1879 to Sep
TENDER, 1882, when he was discharged and
arrested Dec. upon the charge of embez-
zling sums of money, aggregating $14, 600.
While in Jail he made statement to the
effect that James A. LovejOy of the firm
had received the money and had not re-
turned thence the deficit that appeared
upon the books. The Pioneer Press. pro-
ceeded to try the case editorially, and, hav-
ing found Thompson guilty, denounced
him severely, and December 90, 1882 pub
lished the alleged libelants statement con-
corning him in which he was called ssself-
convicted robber," "a would be safe
blower San incendiary" etc. Thompson
was indicted by the grand jury upon eight
counts, tried and acquitted upon each.
Two civil suits against him were also tried
and dismissed. He then turned around
and sued the Pioneer Press for $50. 600
damages. The first time the case was
tried, the jury disagreed. A second trial
was had last October when the jury gave
Thompson verdict for $3.50 damages
Judge Lochren promptly set the verdict
aside in decision that was char
acterzed by exceedingly vigorous
language. He reviewed the case at con-
siderable length, and did not hesitate to say
that he considered Thompson guilty. The
trial, which began yesterday, makes the
thirteenth time the circumstances of the
case have been rehearsed in detail before
juries, and thus far it has not differed ma
terially from any of its predecessors. M.
P. Brewer opened for the plaintiff and Mr..
Thompson gave his evidence. In the after
noon E. M. Wilson opened for the defense
and the balance of the day was taken up
with the evidence of expert bookkeepers.
The trial of the case will probably last two
eWs longer. The greater portion of the

of people living outside of the storm. Ever
since the advent of the great torn ado there
has been futter OF apprehension in the

sumed a threatening aspect, the wind has
stirred or the thunder growled. st looked
slightly ridiculous the other night" said q
gentleman yesterday, ''when I was attending
an evening party to have all the ladies gather
up their dresses and Scurry down stairs into
the cellar. 1t was only laundering q little,
but we couldn't coax them to come up and so
went down stairs and spent a good snare OF

Yesterday afternoon, during the thunder
storm, groups of anxious ladies gathered on
| the entresol OF the West hotel, and several
| times bell boys were sent down to ask the
clerk if he thought the hotel would be blown
over. A lady was passing by the engine
house on Third street when the thunder let
loose resounding roar. She Immediately
shrieked and ran into the engine house to get
out of the way of the cyclone.

Yesterday evening the storm overlook a

Eight or ten girls were seated near the ecu

came merry peals of laughter. Suddenly,
during pause in the peals Of thunder, came
a resounding smack. A chorus OF shrieks
followed, and a dozen hands tore open the
curtains. But the conductor had merely
kissed the back of his hand.

OPPOSED TO SECRECY.

Mr.. Ankeny is also opposed to executive
sessions and favors having the light of day
/ on all proceedings. He also opposed the
employing of both Johnson and Pierson at
the same time. 1.-The only thing that
should rot be published" he said, lis the
contemplated purchase of land, and every
reporter may be trusted to suppress that.
There are many discussions in executive
sessions that should go the public in con-
densed form. At the last meeting there
was an effort to elect Prof. Moore superin-
tendent. [ opposed it for several reasons
and it was defeated by vote of to 3. I
don't believe in that office, on principle, as
it is simply making two heads. Moore de-
pended On Tousley and Tousley on Moore
and the result frequently was neither of
them did necessary work. MOores prin-
cipal duty was buying chalk and pencils,
and for this we pay him $4,000. l
do not say word against his
proficiency. but object to even re-eIecting
him until we have chosen Superintendent.
The latter may be a new man. with new
methods, and Moore's old ideas may not
harmonic. 1t paid the university to bring
in new man, and our experience may be
the same. In any event, two superntend-
entS would be as useless as two mayors. or
two governors"
In relation to these matters it NAV be
stated A. G. Austin denies them generally
and specifically and says he is glad the en-
tire matter is to be ventilated Tt would
now be all right if the schools could also be
ventilated. President Oftedal is absent
from the city, but meeting of the board
will probably be called Immediately upon
his return.
STILL STRONGER CHARGES,
The editor of the Northwestern Archi-
tect, who is instrumental in conducting this
investigation into the sanitary condition of
the public schools, has written the follow
ing letter to the GLOBE, in which still
stronger charges are made:

Austin and the board of education, through
the columns of this journal and published in

taneously by that committee and one of med
ical gentlemen, whose report gives the details
of the sanitary condition of the city school
buildings in the city, and to this report
especially you may well call the attention of
parents, as it shows q dangerous and dis
graceful state of affairs. The report will
appear in our issue tomorrow, and until then
public opinion may properly be suspended.
