ten opponents, and their interest grew
as the contest neared the end, especially
as one after another of the players
found himself defeated, and in some
cases completely routed. The result of
the contest was as follows:
ConneIl defeats eight men, draws
with one. and is vanquished by one.
The crowd which gathered was some

of his being a typical giant, as they
expected, they gazed upon very boy

Mrs. Cunningham telephoned to her hus-
band. and he hurried to the Four Courts.
where he demanded and received written
apology to his wife:
Madam: humbly ask your pardon for
having addressed you this morning." wrote
the accused in part.
The apology was signed Lewis Garrard
Castleman.
When arraigned before the Desk Sergeant.
the young man gave the name Of Samuel H.
Clark. and the address No. 4O79 Olive street.
After being placed behind the bars, and
after the arrival of the irate husband. the
accused man seemed only to worry about
the notoriety which might follow his arrest
he stated that he would do anything to
make reparation and hoped the matter
would not get into the newspapers.
Later he requested that message be
sent to Humphreys Castleman, superin-
tendent Of Insurance at the Worlds Fair
grounds, Who he said, was his father.
GRIPPED HER PARASOL-
The trouble. according to Mrs. Cunning
ham, started on an Olive street car.
Il boarded the car somewhere in the
vicinity of Maryland and Boyle avenues"
she said. II don't know where the man
that annoyed me got on. but 1 remember I
noticed him shortly before Ninth street was
reached.
Il happened to turn my head when no

Of recognition.
IT could not recall having seen him before
and turned my head away. At Eighth
street. as I passed out Of the car, he
reached over and touched my hand. but I
paid no attention to him, except to denote
my displeasure.
HE followed after me quickly. and as
reached the curb he made an insulting re-
mark. Again I passed on, going into the
Post Office to mail few letters I had in
my hand. When I came out 1 again met
the man. who seemed determined to annoy
me. He got holder and holder. Then 1t was
determined to thrash him.
II gripped my parasol. and was about to
strike him, when thought Of the publicity
such proceeding would cause. I thought
that, judging from the way he talked to
me. to thrash him would be waste of time
and strength. Just then / saw a fatherly
looking policeman across the way. and, run
ming over to him, asked for his protec-
ton"

Further than that, they are malicious.

ut looks very much as though Major

action at all, but who says that he repre-
sents the purchasers of my stock, was at
tempting to confuse matters by this suit.
in order to shield himself from his obliga-

erything to the courts representative.
Whether the plaintiffs in this suit arc
trying to condone the offense of a manager

something like 5000. I do not know. but Il
looks very much like it.
"One thing Is sure; am hero to meet
these malicious stories in court, one side Of
which has. of course. only been heard IN
the granting OF this order for a receiver.

this suit have never put one dollar into the
