| II. was in No. 3 tunnel with number
of men under Boss Herman Stuart,
testing the tunnel roof. An eastbound
freight received instructions from the

must have misunderstood the instruc-
tions, for he started toward the tunnel
at a good speed. However, a workman
happened TO be outside and gave a re-
verse signal to the engineer. The lat
ter reversed his engine. but not soon
enough, and there was a small colli-
sion, tnjuring Boss Stuart and Thur
man Hayden.
Levi Slator, a wealthy retired far
mer, who owns considerable real es-
tate at Butler, VS. the owner last
winter of duck that laid an egg.
When Slator went to look for the egg,
he found 1t had been filched by some
one, and blamed the adopted son OF
Olive Matthews. one of his neighbors.
The boy denied the charge, and in the
controversy over the question Slator
swore so violently that Miss Matthews
| caused his arrest, and he was fined $25
and costs. This action excited Slator's
temper more than ever. and Miss Mat
thews brought suit against him for
slander. The case was tried, and the
jury returned a verdict against him
for $3.50.
