A young woman named Emma Kellogg is

The Supreme Court yesterday reversed a
judgment in favor of the Muncie Heat.
Light and Power Company against the
Palmer Steel and Iron Company for $5S1.59
The allegation was made that the steel
company had surreptitiously used gas in
it's furnaces. which the heating company
had not agreed to supply. The heating
company claimed that gas was being used
in six furnaces instead of three, as the
contract provided. The Supreme Court
found no evidence that the steel company
stole any gas other than the mere proof
that more gas was used than was appar-
emily necessary for three furnaces.
The Supreme Court affirmed a judgment
for Reuben A. Borden, of De Kalb coun-
ty, in a suit brought by Kirk A. Smith to
recover the price of a windmill sold by
him to Borden. Borden claimed that the
windmill was all right in a light wind. but
that in gale it would not do the work
that Smith represented 1t would. The
court held that the representations had
been false and that the sale was void.

depredations of chickens in a garden. Mel
vile Sebastian and Ellen McCarty, two
residents of Brookside. have quarreled

cooped up in your yard" and these two
remarks, Sebastian says, have damaged his
reputation for honesty. He places his loss

Theatrical Notes.

theatrical event that should prove an
exceptionally interesting one will be the
engagement of Grace George in Pretty
Peggy" beginning at Englishs this even
ing. Miss George won her first honors
a star last season in Under Southern
Skies" a play that was hardly worthy of
her ability. In this new play by Frances
Aymar Matthews she is said to be given
an excellent opportunity to prove her worth.
The piece deals with the early life of Peg
wellington, captivator of David Garrick
and enthraller of the fancy of old London
town. 1t differs from the Charles Reade
and Tom Taylor versions of the life of the
actress in that IL shows her at the begin
ming of her career, when Horace Walpole
described her as IAN impudent-faced Irish
girl. The romance between Garrick and
herself is treated as seriously as it really
deserved to be, and Garrick, who will be
portrayed by Robert Lorraine. is shown in
an historical light as a miserly little rake,
incapable of honor even in affairs with
women.
Miss George, who is herself of Irish ex-
traction, should be capital in the title role,
her vivacity. and girlish righteousness
