He described his trip from home
down town March,. He said he had
been asked by his wife 10 get pair OF
shoes for his boy so he could go 70 :
children's party, some stockings ana
other things. He had decided to so 10
the market and order his provisions
and have them taken up home and go
on and make his other purchases. lie
lIabilually bought his butter, eggs and
poultry from Mr.. Elig in the mid
die OF the market; his green goods
and vegetables from G. W. Kreiter at
the lower end of the market and the
groceries from Merchant Bros, Hecame
down, intending to go down Market
alley to Mr.. Elig's stand and on through
the market 10 Keiter's and then to
Merchants. As he came tothe alley,
the orders of his wife TO get stockings
cametomind, Eckhart's stocking Factory
being near by on Main street. Before ne
got his mind collected, he was past the
alley, and he remarked to the conductor
not to mind that. he would get OIL at
Eleventh street. He did not always go
TO Elig's, and he had decided not to 80
there that morning. AT the front Of
l.ash's jewelry ste:e, he stepped
off the chr on run and
steppedover onto thepavement, stillun,-
ming. He turned the corner and
saw DR.. Baird only few steps in front
Of him. He was undecided for an IN
slant as to what to do. He had thought
OF crossing Eleventh street, but Dr.
Baird had always yelled after him when
lie showed signs OF avoiding him, and
lie pulled his hat down over his eyes
and started to walk rapidly past him,
hoping to escape insult, and ii not that,
to escape assault Mt least. Captain
Dovener broke in upon the narrative at
several times to ask why he had not
done things he did not do, and court
adjourned with him still on the stand.

Q.-Do you rembember having con-
versation with w. II. Fee2
Ayes, sir. L think it was on the
Sth of last December. Mr.. Fee had
made application for membership in the
a. o. U. W. | had examined him and
sent his certificate on to headquarters.
II had been gone for some. time, and
nothing had been heard Of 1t, and Mr..
Fee was annoyed about it. He said he
had a notion to let the darn thing drop
and pay no more attention to.it. / then
explained to him why it had not been
heard from. Among the questions TO
be answered on the application is, "Who
is your family physician" Mr..
Fees application contained the
name OF DIR. Baird. 1t was sent
in regular form and order and
as is customary; the supreme examiner
of the district wrote to DR.. Baird to ask
further about. Mr.. Fees physical con-
dition, ! told him that Mr.. Hathaway
had said to me that DR.. Baird had said
to him that he would not reply to the
questions Of any director that had that
niger - for an examiner,
and thdt DR., Baird's refusal was the
cause of the delay OF Mr.. Fees applica-
ton. Mr.. Fee said "never mind II that's
the trouble; I'll see the old Doc and
fix it up" l told Mr. Fee not to say
anything about me or my having said
so; ! said to see Mr.. Hathaway and
then see DR.. Baird, for he was already
incensed against me, and did not want
him to be any more incensed.
Odd you have any conversation
with W. c. Beans?
Al saw Mr., Beans on January Is;
he came in and we talked Of the small
pox case and the trouble these people
had given me, and I told him there was
q great deal of spite-work. Itold OF DR..
Baird's insults and the GROWING one,
the letter. He read it and we COM
mentcd upon it. l said this thing had
been carried n long way and that it
must stop; said / had borne these in
suits for the sake OF my family and that
believed he meant to kill mo; / said it
had to stop and that would not stand
personnel violence and that was pre-
pared for him and would defend myself
Ii / was offered personal violence.

Objected to by Colonel Arnett.
Captain Dovener said he desired to
trace that friendship to the point where
it was broken off, and sec who forfeited
the friendship; who first evinced this
hottie feeling by words or deeds.
Colonel Arnett said that the question
of who was to blame in the origin and
which was the original aggressor could
not affect the case one jot or little. The
question whether the friendship broken
up years before was at the instance of
one or the other could have no weight.
The court sustained the objection.

DENTAL CONVENTION.
The State Association in Annual
Session.
A Proposition to Increase It's Membership and
Widen Its Scope of Work-To Visit
the Dental College.

About thirty dentists Of the city and in
terror points throughout the State had as
sembled at &c O'Farrell street when Presi-
dent F. w. Bliss called the twenty-second
annual convention of the State Dental AS
ISOLATION to order yesterday morning.
The business during the morning was
mainly of routine character. 1t was de-
cided to devote the morning sessions on
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday to clinica.
work.
A communication from DR.. L. L. Dunbar
and DIR. c. l.. Goddard, of the Dental College
of California, inviting the association to at
tend the dental college tomorrow evening
and to listen to lecture TO be delivered by
Professor Sudduth of Minneapolis, WAS
read by the Secretary.
A motion of DR.. F. ]. Lane. accepting
the invitation and thanking the college
FACULTY 1or their courtesy. was carried
unanimously.
THE PRESIDENTS ANNUAL ADDRESS.
President Bliss then read his annual ad-
dress, in the course of which he referred to
the advantages to be obtained from clinical
and practical operations, and urged the ad-
Instability OF procuring permanent meet
ing place where such work could be more
effectively carried on.
The outlook for higher dental education,
President Bliss believed, was never brighter
than in the past year.
The next paper was read by DR.. J. P.
Parker, who took rs his subject, "How
TO Make Our Society Meetings a Success"
DR.. Parker advocated that the membership
of the society be widened in order that it
may be made more representative State
association. 1t should contain more than
one-eighth of the practicing dentists of the
State.
Somewhat the same grou nd was covered
by DIR. c. X. Sabin's paper On the "Value
OF Dental Associations" The average at
tendance was smaller than In correspond
Ing associations in the East.
THE NOSE OR TEETH, WHICH?
a. paper on the " Antrum," written by DR..
l. Newman, was read by Dr. Van Orden
This bristled with technical terms and dealt
with disease which specialists were accus-
tom d to assign to nasal troubles and dem
lists to refer the cause to the teeth. In the
discussion which followed a prominent part
was taken by Professor Sudduth, who gave
an account of his experiences with cases of
the kind. The association then adjourned
till tbs evening.
During the evening session several inter
esting papers on chronological subjects were
read.
