Salt to Recover Damages for Breach OF
Contract.
Richard NJ. Hurd began an action yes
terday In the superior court against T. III.
Rollins & Sons, of Denver, to recover $500
for an alleged breach Of contract, concern
ing the sale of electric light and water
bonds issued by the town of Kent. Ac-
cording to the complaint Hurd entered
into contract with the town for the pur-
chase Of $23. 900 worth OF bonds. he to re-
ceive TX per cent commission and $175
for expenses. He disposed of the contract
to Rollins & Sons. who afterwards, how.
ever, refused to accept the bonds, claiming
that there was an irregularity in their is
sue.
It 10 alleged that they reassigned the
contract to Hurd and agreed to return him
the papers covering the transfer. Instead,
however, of doing this. they sent the pa
pers to the town of Kent, thus depriving
the plaintiff of his chance to handle the
bonds. The town then sold them to q
third party, Farson, Leach e. Co.
Hurd claims that if Rollins & Sons had
followed out its agreement and reassigned
the contract to him he could have dis
posed of his bargain at profit of $500, and
he asks damages for that amount.

bodies from the earth and from each other

CHRISTIAN vs.. INFIDEL.


rev. CLARK br80en Lectures Against
Ingersoll and His Foil overs.
The Rev. Clark Braden lectured in de-
Tense of Christianity and poured hot shot
into the liberals and infidels again last
night at the First Methodist Episcopal
church. 1t was expected last night that
the speakers challenge would be accepted
by some member of the Liberal League or
Secular Union and a large audience was
present. While disappointed at not hear
ing controversy, those present heard an
able presentation of What Christianity
Has Done for the World"
Mr.. Braden took up first that branch of
his subject which related to the influence
of the Christian religion on the political
history of the world. He said that the
government of the union recognized God,
His influence dominated and il He were
taken out the Declaration of Indepen-
dence, the constitution of the United
States. Washington's farewell address and
other great writings would have to be
banlshed from the schools. He said that
Tom Paine's political writings had been
produced when he was q Christian and
all his mean, low, vile matter had been
written after he became an in.idel.
Whenever human genius had scared
heavenward it had always flown
on the wings of religion, and
every political reform in every nation
had been preceded by great religious
agitation that paved the way. The
speaker boldly attacked IngersolI for his
statement that martyrdom was lit only for
brutes.
He next took up what Christianity
had done for social progress. He paid
high tribute to the missionary work
of the church, the worlds peace policy.
and all the general social work of the
church. He asked of the liberals where
were their humanitarian institutions. and
what would become of their orphans and
drunkards if the real Christians did not
care for them. Bob Ingersoll had no mis-
sions or orphan asyiums. but was willing
to lecture at $500 per night II he vas sure of
his money.
The speaker then traced the influence of
the church of Christ upon the home and
family and compared the home life OF
the Christians to that of Others. He said
that lniidelity was Bob Ingerso!lism gone
to seed.
Mr. Braden in closing told VIVA. he
thought OF Ingersoll. The great iniidel
was a man of inferior education, not a
well-read lawyer and simply jury advo-
cate who oould fool people. He called
him coward and literary thief aud re-
lated the story of how Ingersoll had
backed out of 8 joint debate agreed upon
between him and the speaker.
Mr.. Brsden said arrangements were
pending which might enable him to de-
liver a course OF lectures here. The usual
collection was taken up.

CORr DIVORCE CASE.
The True Facts About tho Disposition
OF the Children.

An article in the Posr-INrELLIeENcER Of
August IS made some incorrect statements
of legal troubles of John Lindsey White,
better known as John Cort, and his wife,
Marie Louise White. The case first came
into the courts on petition by Mrs. White
for writ of habeas corpus to obtain pos
session of their two children, whom Cort.
or White. had taken from her. This case
was compromised and the children were
left in the custody of Cort's sister.
From the evidence brought out in the
trial it appeared that the woman had been
married to another man. In order to le-
gitimize the children she secured divorce
from the first husband, whom she had not
heard Of for years, and then was married
to Cort. After, by an agreement with
Cort, she secured a divorce from him on
the ground of non-support. Under this
agreement Cort was given the custody Of
one Of the children and the wife the other.
