suit of Hysore & Son vs. l. T. Quigley
was resumed
William A. Cross testified that he was
an employe of Hysore & Son. He had
seen the floor covered with water, and
had worked in rubber boots The water
came from the room overhead. In the
room where the hair was kept there were
icicles as thick as his legs.
Higgins-"When was IL that the water
put the electric lights out"
Bird-"Speak only of your own knowl-
edge He claimed that Mr.. Higgins was
trying to entrap him. Mr.. Higgins
objected to the interruption and appealed
TO the court.

imputations ON me-
"Bird-"Yes, have, when you deserve
them"
Higgins-'1 am not used to such in
science.
Bird-"well you will get some more

| Bird then rested the case.
| Philip O. Churchman, opened for the
defense. He denied that Quigley had
placed the hair there with intent to in
| jure Hysore & Son; on the contrary he
gave the firm work He did not try to
force the Hysores out The cause of the
water dropping through was an expert
ment made by the Hysores. No water
dropped down before the experiment
began aud the flow ceased when Hysore 4
lubor-saving experiment ceased He
would show the character of the expert.
ment which would not work 1t was tc
squeeze all the water out of the hair,
and to carry II up stairs, but It did moi
do So Quigley ordered that the machine
be taken out The shed capacity was
also too small and did not comply with
the requirements of the contract He
said he would show that Ellie Rust did
not work Tor Quigley at the time or IN
the manner that he swore he did.

A Dangerous Fly Bite.

:. To be threatened with death from the
bite of m ordinary house fly is a strange
thing, but recently Joseph Swain was in
danger of losing his life from that cause.
Mr.. Swain had a slight abrasion on the
skin Of his left hand. It was a very SIM
pie injury, not being severe enough to
break the outer cuticle. On Saturday,
while seated in his house, he felt a
sharp, stinging sensation OF the injured
spot. A fly was biting him, and he had
to shake his hand several times to drive
him away. Immediately Mr.. Swain felt
pain in his hand and the hand began to
swell. By evening the swelling and the
pain had extended to the wrist, and the
next morning, when DIR. Peyton was
called in, the whole arm as far as the
elbow had assumed abnormal proper
tions. The patient was suffering excru-
ciating pain, and he had passed night
of agony.
Everything indicated blood poisoning,
and the physician regarded it as seri-
ous case. The doctor is of the opinion
that there is a new species of fly about
here, the bite of which is poisonous.
They resemble the blouse fly in every
wa5, excepting that they aresmaller and
blacker.
The most probable theory is that the
fly injected into Mr.. Swain,s arm some
poisonous substance drained from some
thing upon which the fly had been feed

the handsome binding. In it are con-

one finds line quoted from some more
or less noted poet to indicate the senti-

communicated itself to his pen at the
time he made the inscription, or some
sad or joyful happening that has caused
him to leave behind thesimprint of his
state of mind by purloining phrase
from familiar author.
The name of the writer is sisssed TO
each inscription. and for. weeks after

for the amusement of the initiated by its
