Costly Breach of Promise for Assist
ant Fire Chief Kenney

The jury in the Kenney-Joyce breach
OF promise case evidently had no
doubts as to the merits of the con-
troversy. They were only out about
long enough to organize and take a
ballot and returned to the court room
with verdict for Miss Joyce for the
full amount of her CLAIMS, 900.
The result was not a surprise to those
who have followed developments in the
case, unless it was that the full amount
OF the damages claimed were allowed
When the verdict was announced
neither the plaintiff nor the defendant
were in the court room, and Mr.. Ken
ney attended the trial only a few
minutes early in the morning
Yesterday kenney had promised to
produce in court the letter which he
claimed Miss Joyce first wrote him
asking him to call and see her. This
was a point of contention, the plaintiff
Claiming he had written the first letter
and had asked to be allowed to call
Yesterday morning Kenney was again
called to the witness box and asked to
produce the letter as he had promised.
He said he had forgotten to bring it
with him.
You have it at your home, have
you?" asked Mr.. Gallagher.
Yes, sir
Your rig and driver are outside, are
they not?"
Yes, SIR
How long would it take you to go
home and get the letter."
About ten or twenty minutes"
Then you had better go after IT,"
suggested the attorney.
No, l will not. 1 don't care to pro-
duce it" was the reply given in a suIlen
manner. He was pressed no further.
The court room was again crowded
to sufocation and many were locked
out. The two sisters of the plaintiff,
Wilma and Nora Joyce, were placed
upon the stand early in the morning
and by their testimony completely con-
tradicted that of Officers Ring and Col
Inns. The two young ladies were both
pretty and modest in their appearance
and their testimony counted heavily.
Mrs. Eta Gallagher, the one woman
friend of the defendant, who has re-
NAMED constantly with her since the
beginning of the trial. testified to the
good character of Miss Joyce.
The defense then called to the stand
Mrs. Lillian Kerr, the keeper of a place
of i'll repute, and she testified that one
day in October last a certain attorney
had appeared at her place and asked
for Miss Joyce. That was all she had
to tell.
In summing up the defense Attorney
GdlIaSner Ialu especial stress upon the
assertion that his client was insane,
and that his mental condition while III
the witness box was evident to all. His
mind had been unbalanced by the per-
secutions and wiles of the plaintiff.
Attorney Hutchinson for the plaintiff
made some very strong points. He
ridiculed the statement that the de-
PENDANT had been the innocent fly in
the web of the spider. Kenney, he said,
was not crazy, but was playing pos
sum In order to work upon the sympa-
thies of the jury. He scored Officer
Ring numerically and declared that
his testimony was evidently false.
Judge MCGEE then delivered his charge.

General News of the North

BISMARCK, Jan. 2S.-The Prohibi-
tionists of the state are much alarmed
at the attack that has been made upon
one of the vital features of the pro-
hibition law, from the standpoint OF
the "drys," in the writ of habeas corpus
that has been asked from the federal
court in the case of Norman Markusou.
who was sentenced to the state peni-
tertiary for one year for Illegal selling
OF intoxicating liquors, and who began
upon his sentence some weeks ago The
feature of the law which is attacked
is the power Of a judge to sentence an
offender to the penitentiary for con-
tempt without a jury trial, when 1t is
asked. And if this point of the law
should be upset, the Prohibitionists
would find it difficult to prosecute
liquor sellers with any degree of sue
cess in the state. For this reason there
will be a hot fight to uphold the law,
and the case will be carried TO the su-
preme court Of the United States,
whichever way it may be decided

Gentlemen:-A previous experience
with Paine's celery compound, as d re-
storer Of exhausted energy, induced me
recently to take it again. the many du-
ties of the mayors office having taxed
my slight physical resources greatly.
L made no mistake. In one week, I
found my appetite improved, the feel
ing Of WEAKNESS disappearing. and my
nerves becoming steadier. Paine's cell
cry compound has thus been friend in
time of need. and 1 like TO say a word
for a friend. Truly yours.
WALTER L. RAMSDELL.
Nov. 8, 1897.
In every city, in business houses,
banks, newspaper offices-whereve the
friction of worry Is wearing out the
nerves and reducing the nutrition OF
the body, Paine's celery compound is
proving it's inestimable value. 1t in
variably insures sound sleep. and thus
gives the overstrung nerves their natu-
raj rest; it corrects a constipated habit
that so commonly goes with sedentary
occupations, and frees the blood of poi
sonous humors, that at some time or
other develop into grave disease.

fact that prices are very low only

there any disposition to refuse orders.

competition of manufacturers seeking
orders alone prevents a rise Most of
them have all they can manage, many
working night and day, and the great
steel concerns running on Sunday, but
the works not yet filled with orders
are seeking contracts at as low prices
as have ever been reached, indicating
that even these are not entirely un-
profitable. The settlement of wages ON

Two years ago he was elected by the

Ferguson was convicted in the crimi-
nal branch of the county court OF en-
gaging in the plumbing business as a
master plumber without first securing
a license as required by the state laws.
Ferguson held the license granted by
the city, but this was held by Judge
Dyson to be insufficient. under the
