TROUBLES WERE MANY.
Farmer Pollard, of Augusta, Got
Home with Difficulty.

The troubles of Silas A. Pollard, a farmer
from Augusta. were many last night when
he started homeward. Pollard came to
town yesterday with a load of hay, which
he disposed of. About 6 o'clock last even
ing Pollard started home. When ne ar
rived at Congress and Northwestern ave-
nues, in North Indianapolis, his trouble be-
gam. AT this point a sewer is being built.
When darkness came yesterday evening the
contractors or the labOrers, il is said. did
not place red lights near the sewer. Pol
lard drove along near Crown Hill and did
not see the yawnilg sewer before him. Be-
fore he could realize what had taken place
one of his horses fell into the cavity, throw
ing Pollard from the hay wagon. Pollard
was not injured. The other horse did not
fall into the hole. but was saved by Pol
lard, who placed boards underneath its
feet until it was unhitched. Pollard then
detached the wagon from the horse tina
had fallen into the sewer.
Many of the ~neighbors in that locality
heard Of the mans distress and went 70
his aid. A number of workmen with picks
and shovels undertook TO relieve the ami
NAL. The horse. when il fell, was almost
covered with gravel and mud. Little pools
of water from the roadbed fell on the
horses back and added TO its comfitu
Pollard. with the aid of other men, worked
nearly all night in trying to extricate the
imprisoned animal. Derricks were used,
but TO little avail.

JULES " SUIT.
Motion Filed by c. G. Conn O~verruled
by Judge Baker.

A misinterpretation of the decision of
Judge Baker in the suit of Jules Levy
against c. G.. Conn, the musical
instrument manufacturer of Elkhart.
for 100000 damages for libel. led
10 the report that Judge Baker
had sustained Conn's demurrer. AS a mat
ter of fact Judge Baker overruled the de-
murrer TO Levy's complaint and granted
leave to the defendant TO file a plea in
abatement. which the court held was the
proper pleading.
Judge Bakers decision is of interest TO
newspaper publishers. Conn's demurrer
was based on the failure OF Levy TO aver
that he had complied with the Indiana libel
law by serving notice, three DAYS before
beginning the suit of the libel published
so that a retraction might be made.
Conn's attorney held that the Indiana law
was mandatory and denies the plaintiff
the right to sue until IL had been complied
with. S. N. Chambers, Levy's attorney.
held that the law was merely directory
and that the failure to comply with the
law did not affect the right of action of
the plaintiff except as TO the amount of
damages.
Judge Baker held that the failure to
comply with the Indiana statute does not
go TO the right of action but to the right
to presently bring and maintain suit. The
lack OF notice of the Indiana statute is not
a bar 10 the plaintiffs cause of action. The
court holds that the proper pleading Is not
sustaining Of such a plea, he holds. would
not defeat the right to serve statutory
notice and then bring suit on the same
causes of action.
