THIRD TRIAL OF THE CASE
Judge Gest Sets Aside Cooley Verdict
For $500.

Judge Gest in the circuit court Sat
urday afternoon set aside the verdict for
$4,000 and allowed a new trial of the
case of Sidney Cooley against the Rock
Island Sash and Door works. There
have been two hearings of the suit be-
fore a jury, the first verdict being for
$3.50. This verdict was set aside also.
Cooley suffered the loss of portions
of three fingers on a joiner at which he
worked in the sash factory, alleging
that the accident was due to the negli-
gence of the defendant in not warning
him of the danger that he was in while
operating the machine. Jackson, Hurst
& Stafford represented the defendant
and Searle & Marshall the plaintiff

Not BravadO.
Il have made inquiries which salts.

be said they are confident, but it would
be quite as inaccurate to say that they
despair a correct statement of the
attitude of mind is a hope which they
believe to be based on rational
grounds. And it should be added these
men are neither fools nor amateurs. Z
1T is possible that these lieutenants
of Judge Parker are right, and all the
rest of us are wiring? Are they wiser
than Wall street, wiser than the bust
ness men throughout the country,
wiser than the newspapers? And if

ssThere is no doubt but that for hve
years these scayengers Of the sea have
wrought more damage to fishing in

They swarm every bay and even pene-
trate our rivers. They came into Cape
Cod by the million i've years ago and
now Names fishing industry is at their
mercy. Years ago they came only about
a month or six weeks each year from
August to September and at the first
n~ortherly wind they disappeared, but
now they are with US about all the year.

cions fish that feeds on every other fish

l remember 20 years ago a boy fell over
board off Monhegan and before he was
rescued he was literally torn to pieces,
the water surrounding being covered
with blood. EF
'"They are not a menace to the lobster,
as claimed. A dogfsh has to turn upon
its back to bite, and the lobster being
bottom of the sea shell fish has ample
protection in his location. There should
by all means be a government bounty Of

consideration and to pay cash for ev-

The bulk of the Chinese troops have

and the population is treasured.
A report from Newchwang says the
foreign consuls have officially notified
their governments that the Russian
commander of the garrison has for
hidden foreigners to go beyond the
mud walls Of the native city, with the
single exception that they are allowed
to use the river bank between the for
eign settlements and the foreign gun
boats. This exception is made solely
on account of the presence of the Unit
ed States gunboat Helena and the
British cruiser Espiegle, which other
wise would be entirely cut off from
communication with their respective
settlements.
The Russian order particularly for
bids visiting the forts on the Lao riv-
er and also Wutaitzu, a village two
miles south Of the fort. The above or
der is declared to be a necessary mill
tary measure on account of the ar
rangements being made for the defense
Of the coast.
Foreigners still have access to the
west and north shores of the Lao and
use the railway and telegraph, al
though the Chinese managers of the
telegraph line have instructed theil
employees to withdraw to Then

This action and also the threatened
withdrawal of the railway staff is Sc.

The Russian authorities have given
notice that no consular commun1ca'
