Mrs. Dolan seeks To recover for an all

who was being cioss-examined, SO
sharply did she twist the questions put
TO her into interrogatories aimed at the
attorney.
Mrs. Dolan had among her boarders
some time previous TO the day named
the defendant. Maynard, and he found
occasion TO change his residence. but
she claims he purposed doing so with
out paying a certain board bill OF S24,
though she was willing 10 throw off 81
If the bill was settled quietly. on the
anniversary Of the birth OF the farmer

for his trunk. She declined to give il

refused. The property of the ex-boara-
er ha1 been taken from his room TO the
parlor and Mrs. Dolan and he had quite
a scuflie 10 get into that room. Finally
the door gave way and both entered the
room In very unconventional style. Mrs.
Dolan was very quick and reached the
trunk first. She sat upon il and then
the two men had 10 do some scheming
20 get her off.
The men are the defendants In the
case and they assert that by good plan
ming they got possession of the trunk
with the use of very little force only.
Mrs. Dolan differs from them in this
regard. for she says they used far too
much force. in fact. that they pushed
her off the trunk and against picture
on an easel. By coming in contact with
the picture frame her cheek was badly
cut and by her fall 10 the floor she sus-
talned injuries that have since prevent
