resented, and Rice was thrown out of
the office, during the process of which
action he says that he was struck over
the head with cane by Major Bell and
otherwise roughly handled.
When called to the stand yesterday
afternoon, Rice told his story of how
he had been pummeled by Major Bell
without offering any resistance. Major
Bells son Walter, who was in the Of
flee at the time the trouble took place,
was also called by the prosecution. He
told quite a different story, and stated
that his father had merely laid his hand
on Rice's shoulder and told him to leave,
when the latter jumped up and threw
himself into an aggressive attitude The
young man had sprung forward and pre-
vented Rice from striking his father.
1t was then that Major Bell had secured
his cane and driven Rice from the office.
Major Bell took the stand and related
what had occurred very much as his son
had told it. In describing the conduct
of Rice he said: "Why, I never saw such
a bumptious little rooster in all my life.
He was pugnacious all over, and 1 be-
live if I'd been alone he'd have cleaned
me OUT
Justice Morrison stated that the testi-
mony showed that no unnecessary force
had been used by Major Bell in getting
rid of his caller, and he was accordingly
found not guilty.

A Noisy Meteor

August is the month for meteors, and

ports of several of unusual brilliancy. A
Nyack man says that he saw a record
breaker one night last week. my son
and l." he says, were watching the play
of lightning beyond the top of South
Noun tain, when suddenly vast cloud
area was vividly Illuminated. In a sec
onG or two an intensely brilliant cone of
white light appeared, quickly followed by
an explosion, the parts emitting yell
lowish light In about four seconds we
heard a short, loud report like that of
small cannon. The widely extended light
surrounding the cone was entirely differ
ent in its effects from the broad sheet like
reflections of distant lightning flashes;
it was slower and more brilliant The
heavy clouds had concealed the approach
OF the meteor until it had nearly pierced
them, the heavy rainfall softening the
focus Of light as mist will partially veil
the sum-" The Nyack observer calculates
that the meteor must have been about
$500 feet away when he saw it, and he be-
lieves that its fragments are, imbedd!ed
in the soil of the mountain top.-New
