MAY ALLOWED
 5000 DAMAGE '.
Damage Suit In Federal Coul U Results in Judgment For
 Plaintiff.

James May was awarded $z,OVV damages in the Federal court at Little Rock, Thursday morning, before Judge Trieber, in the S2O,- 900 damage suit for alleged false imprisonment, against H. c. liar key, B. F. Lewis, John Allen and Claude Luton, taken up be- fore Judge Trieber in the United States circuit court Wednesday. The trial occupied the entire day, the arguments not being con- cluded until about 5 o'clock. The jury went out, but after deliber- ating about half an hour had not reached a verdict and was al- lowed to separate until Thursday morning.
 The defendants in the suit are officers of the bank of Casa, Per- ry county. MT. Harkey is presi- ident, MT. Lewis is cashier and MT. Allen, in addition to being a director in the bank, is town marshal. The plaintiff, James May, who is a young man who formerly lived at Auyergne. Jackson county in this state, but now resides at Colwell, La, al- legged that he was in Casa De- cember IS, 1903, and that he took a number of bills to the Bank of Casa and exchanged them for silver. He alleged that the bills were old and badly torn, and that this was the reason he desired to exchange them for silver.
 A short time later, while he was seated in a restaurant, he was arrested on a charge of passing counterfeit money. lie was kept in jail for a day, when it was found that the money was good and he was released.
 May then brought suit against the bank officials for $20,000 to compensate him for the humilia- tion and disgrace which he al- legged he had suffered.
 J. c. Marshall of Little Rock and Gustave Jones of Newport appeared for the plaintiff and J. D. Shackelford of that city rep resented the defense.
 R. M. Johnson, J. w. Grubbs and w. w. Dutton were wit nesses for the plaintiff in the suit.

A HERO'S REWARD.

A few days ago an old man named Sam
uel Wilberley was killed upon the railway
by passing train. His last days. II ap-
peared, had been spent in Edmonton
workhouse. At the inquest it was reveal
cd that WHEREBY was an old soldier. He
enlisted when only eighteen in the famous
Ninety-fifth Foot. He distinguished him
self at the battle of the Alma. when Sir
de Lacy Evans mentioned him in division
orders. In the repuise of the Russian
sortie he shone and again in the bloody
grappIe of Inkerman. He volunteered
upon one occasion to carry ammunition to
the Quarries under the deadly fire of that
dav and was in the trenches throughout
the whole OF the siege The Gazette itself
published the services of Corpl. Sn1ueI
Webb-the name under which Wilberley
enlisted and added that the young hero
had received from his queen the CrimeaH
medal with three clasps and from the en-
peror OF the French the cross OF the Le-
gion Of Honor. Corpl. Webb was not en-
titled 20 a pension upon his discharge

account of a Sabbath horse-race; and
was followed by a quartette, composed of
Maud Kilgore The last number was a
farce given by several members of the
society, in which Kate Hibben acted the
part of the hostess and entertained vari-
Gus callers who tried to sell her leman-
squeezers and powder-boxes. spectacles
and the 'virginian.' About one hundred
were present, and although the announce
ment that encores had not been pre-
pared, worked hardship with some of
the boys. All left, thanking the fra
ternity for a very pleasant afternoon.
The Juniors and Seniors enjoyed a very
interesting talk in Room 9 last Friday
afternoon, given by John Griffith who
played Macbeth that night at the
Crawford opera house. He was introduced
by Prof. Duncan. In part, Mr.. Griffith
said that Macbeth" was very heavy
part; that only great big men attempted
it; and that he weighed $50 pounds him
self and wasn't as big as he would like
to be either. Even Booth has been re-
luctant TO take the part. Chas. McCredie
had been the greatest English Macbeth,
and Edwin Forrest the greatest Ameri-
can. Charlotte Cushman was the CREST
est Lady Macbeth and she has a monu-
ment erected to her in England almost
as large as the Nelson monument Thus
even actors may attain honor. Mr. Grit
fifth then proceeded to explain several
difficult points in the Interpretation of
the great tragedy, answering the question
Of Banquos ghost and exposing the real
character of Macbeth as a moral coward.
He said that Macbeth was a bad boy
even before he met the little girl who be-
came Lady Macbeth" and proved his
point by quotation. Mr.. Griffith made
hit when he spoke about the bloody hands
after numbering Duncan" He said lit
was not our Duncan, however, though
some of US might sometimes feel like
numbering him." Upon this mixed muir
murs of assent and protest were heard
That evening, the seat of the most ap-
preciate applause was up in the peanut
gallery" where a crowd of about TWEEN
ty High School boys hung their feet on
the railing. while the others were scat
tered through other parts of the house.
Mr.. Griffith's lecture paid him back with
interest
