BARK BRYANT
WINS AGAIN
Judge Estee Decides Against
Pearson & Potter Co.--The
Plumbers Fight.

In the Federal court yesterday the
case of Brown VS.. Dawson ct al. wa:
argued upon a motion to dismiss as II
certain defendants, upon whom service
had not been made.
The plaintiff contended that the stipu.
'lation agreed to by the attorneys or
both sides, that defendants should have
ten days to file an answer, was an ad-
mission of service by all defendants
This question was extensively argued,
and will be passed upon later.
The case of Pearson & Potter Co.,
Ltd, VS.. The Bark c. u. Bryant was
submitted upon the evidence of facts
presented in the McInerny case, togeth-
er with an additional deposition from
the Bryant's captain. The court there
upon made the same ruling, as in the
McInerny case, in favor of the Bryant,
to which exceptions were given.

THE right man came along one day
when he told me that coffee drinking
was the cause of my gastritis, nervous
ness, torpid liver and trembling hands
that interfered with my business, that
of mechanical drawing, but coffee was
my only habit and l loved it so that
did not see how 1 could give it up.

sardins the relief in his case by leaving
off coffee and taking Postum Food COT
fee I could not have mustered uD will
power enough to abandon my favorite
beverage.
1 left off coffee that day at lunch and
had a cup of Postum. It was made good
and had Il rich, dark color, with deli.
cious flavor that 1 could not tell from
regular coffee. i pleased the eye, smell
and palate, so I had it each day at the
restaurant for the MONDAY LUNCH and
discovered a decided improvementin my.
condition. but it was not until J. left off
coffee for breakfast and used Postum in
its place that real relief set in Now I
am free from gastritis headaches, and
fully appreciate the value of the nerve
ease No more trembling hands and no

HAMMER, CRISEL AND PLYERS.
Surgeons Use Unique Instruments in Treating
Ii1in

Unique case.
1t was with a hammer, 81 cflsel and q
pair of plyers that Drs. Trevillian and
Gills removed the knife that Pleasant
Jackson drove into Tom Elton during the
course of an argument Sunday eve
ming.
The two negroes had a difficulty at
Twenty-fifth and S Streets Sunday after
noon and Jackson drew his trusty blade.
With almost superhuman force he drove
it into Iltons shoulder, forcing it almost
through the scaDula. Several negroes
came to I1lton's aid and tried in vain to
dislodge the blade. Then Il hurry call
was sent in for the city ambulance. DR..
ellis tried to extract the blade, Driver
billiard holding the man to the earth, but
without success. Then Elton was re-
moved to DR.. Trevillian'S Office, where
for over half an hour the two surgeons
worked on him. Finally the blade came
out and Elton was removed to the City
Hospital. He was discharged yesterday.
This case is unique. Such a circum-
stance has not come up for treatment in
the history of the ambulance service in
this city, and it was only through care
full treatment that Elton's arm was
saved

ATTEMPTED MURDER.
Burglar When Discovered Shows Fight and
Sheets

Probably the fact that he only secured
a pair of gloves as his loot determined
the burglar to try murder, and it was
only pluck that saved the lives of Mr..
and Mrs. Ernest Bolton
The Bottoms live at No. III Reservoir
Street, and it was shortly after O'Clock
Sunday morning when Mrs. Bolton was
awakened by the opening of her bed
room door, She walked her husband and
both saw the head of the negro intruder
appear around the door. Mr.. Bolton leap
ed from the bed, and throwing his whole
weight against the door, forced the in
truder into the hall. The latter, how
ever being 4 much larger man. forced the
door open and showing a revolver through
the opening, fired. The ball narrowly
missed Mr. Bottoms head. and striking
the edge of a dressing-table glanced off
and struck the window blinds, finally
falling to the floor
In the meantime Mrs. Bolton and her
daughter by their cries for help brought
some neishbors to the scene.
The negro made his ecape and the
police are looking for him.
