COMPANY LOSES.
Damage SUIT Corporation Failed to
Make Case.
The suit of BenjarnIn NeIman againgt

The suit of Benjamin Neiman against
the Metropolitan Street Railway com
pany of Kansas City. which has been
on hearing in the federal court, has
been taken from the jury on a demur-
rer to the plaintiffs evidence and the
demurrer has been sustained, which
ends the case.
After the plaintiffs attorneys had
submitted all of their evidence and
rested, the defendant set up the claim
that the evidence did not show a suf-
fcient cause of action. Mr.. Neiman was
a carpenter and while at work for the
company he had a fall and was badly
injured, for which he sued the company
for $4,000 damages The company
claimed that the fall was largely due
to his own negligence, and Judge Hook
took this view of the case after hearing
the plaintiffs evidence. It was on this
ground that the demurrer was sustain

brought to a close by darkness, after
three hours fighting, and it is not
known exactly how many Indians were
killed.
The loss among the soldiers is very
small, not exceeding six killed and
about a dozen wounded. The Indians
probably lost twice as many, as the
soldiers surprised them at the opening
Of the engagement and fired one or two
rounds before the Indians were suffi-
GENTLY rallied to get to cover. During
the first onslaught some dozen or more
Indians were seen to fall. Upon the
approach of night the hOstilities ceased
and the soldiers at once retreated to
the open ground.
From their post of observation in the
open prairie the soldiers noticed quite
a number of signal fires burning along
the mountain tops and it was evident
the Indians were SummOning scouting
parties to their relief as rapidly as pos
sible. The reports reaching Ortiz were
to the effect that the Mexican troops
would renew the hostilities at once in
the hope of effectively exterminating
the main body of Indians before their
allies could come to their assistance.

COMING DRAMATIC EVENTS

all who We're brought into conference
with him. Frederick the Great, as pre-
scented by Lewis Morrison. is at that
age when nature commences to mellow
