colors to Mr.. J. p. Campbell and Mr.. E.
P. Hama suffer defeat at the hands Of
Mr.. VIII H. Lyons. Capt. OFarreIl made
hard struggle ard succumbed only after
ninety-six moves had been made. Mr..
Campbell is showing unexpected strength
against the strongest players in the pres
emit tournament. He had the advantage Of
Mr.. Hanna all through their game. but
overlooked mate In three moves and al
lowed his opponent to get draw.
Mr.. Hanna played q French defense
against Mr. Lyons and played q compare
lively even game for thirty-eight moves.
though Mr.. Lyons had been the aggressor,
when Mr.. Henna overlooked a series of
two checks. which cost him rock. He
resigned after fifty moves had been made.
One popularity was that Mr.. Lyons clock
had run twenty-eight minutes during the
game and Mr. Hanna's clock one hour and
forty-five minutes. Mr.. Lyons score Is one
Of the best, but he plays most of his games

If he did not lose games thereby.
Mr.. Gwyer made a bad start In the tour
ney. but he continues to improve his posi-
ton. On Wednesday, night he defeated Mr..
Tibbetts. The latter, however. added a
victory to his score by defeating Capt.
O'Farrell In a game adjourned from the
previous week. iuoT =
Mr.. Odell played Withfhis customary skill
and won a game from Mr.. Crofts. who In
turn scored a victory from Mr.. Adair. Mr.

LANDLORD AND TENANT
Doyle, Ousted by Landlord Martin
Now Asks Damages

Justice Youngs's court yesterday was the
scene of legal battle between John Doyle
and /. T. Martini landlord and tenant, re-
spectively, over the possession of a certain
horse. The suit was commenced by the
tenant, John Doyle, who asks the court to
give him possession of house from which
the defendant ousted him, and also that he
be granted S1sS damages.
The plaintiff testified that some time
prior to August 9th of this year he rented
a small house in the rear of 749 Upper Main
street from the defendant. On that day
because he was 81 back in his rent, Martin
with two other men, broke open the door
of the plaintiffs room and seized all of his
goods and threw them out into the yard.
This sorely wounded Doyle's feelings, SO
much, in fact. that nothing less than s19s
would pacify him.
Martin does not deny that he ousted his
tenant. but says he did not throw the goods
out into the yard, but handled them with
due respect. He testified that he had given
Doyle notice 10 move three days before
but that the plaintiff had paic no attention
to II.
In view of the fact that the justice wished
to hear More evidence, The case was contin-
ued until today.
