FIGHT WAS IN
THE ATMOSPHERE

A free-for-aH fight took place on
Hotel street yesterday afternoon about
5 o'clock in which Silva, the boxer, and
DevauchelIe. police officer, took the
principal parts. The scrap started
near the Palm billiard parlors~ Some
one said Alderman could whip some
body else and then the row began.
Devauchene and Silva mixed and the
former went down in a heap. Others
were drawn into the fight and big
crowd collected, but police ended the
matter.
About the same time a seaman and
a native became engaged in a fight near
the corner. Before blows could be ex-
changed police officers arrived, but the
men broke away and the seaman
knocked one man down into the street
almost under a rig. They pummeled
each other there for awhile, the Jap
anese driver holding tight rein on his
horse to prevent the men being run
over.

rather go to Jail for sixtyfour days

CERT. who has been out of work for

BIG DAMAGE SUIT
CHANGES COURTS
NOW IN SUPERIOR COURT
MRS. MARY PIERCE is SUING THE
SEABOARD AIR LINE.

Asks Damages in Sum of $4,000
for Death of Her Husband, Who
Was Killed in Railroad Wreck Mt
Evergreen, Fla, in 19O3-PetitiOn
of Plaintiff Claims That Acct
dent Was Due to Negligence On
the Part of Company and Owing
to known ImperfectiOns in
Switch.
The damage suit of Mrs. Mary Pierce
against the Seaboard Air Line Rail-
way Company was filed yesterday in
the Superior Court through her attor-
neys. Twiggs & Oliver. Damages for
the death of her husband are asked
in the sum of $4,000.
The case was recently started in the
City Court and a sensation furnished
when Judge H. D. D. Twiggs, counsel
for the plaintiff, suddenly moved for a
dismissal, giving as his reason that
the rulings of the court were of such a
character as to make it impossible for
him to proceed further.
Attention was directed to the
case during the three days that it
was being heard in the City Court ow-
ing to the hard legal battle that was
fought. The plaintiff was rep
resented by Twiggs & Oliver, and the
defendant company by Attorneys w.
w. Osborne, ]. Randolph Anderson, A.
A. Lawrence, and Judge Rainier. ex-
chief justice of the Florida Supreme
Court.
Made Many Objections.
Though the case had lasted for
three days only four witnesses
were examined. Objections followed
nearly every question asked and. time
and time again the jury was taken
from the room while the opposing
counsel argued the legal points in
question and Judge Norwood made his
rulings. This hard battle attracted
public interest and there were many
spectators in the court room during
the days of trial.
The sudden and somewhat sensa-
tional ending of the case, as far as the
City Court is concerned, will serve
only to increase the interest, and the
trial in the Superior Court promises to
be as hard a battle as was that in the
other court.
Owing to the recent taking of evil
dence in the case, the circumstances
are familiar to readers of the Morning
News The bill for damages brought
by the plaintiff sets forth no new
grounds, merely reiterating the
grounds on which damages were asked
before Judge Norwood
Ran Into Open Switch.
The husband of the plaintiff, Edwin
Pierce, was an engineer on a train
running between Savannah and Jack
! sonville. Near Evergreen, Fla, on
March 4, 1903, the train ran into an
open switch, resulting in the death of
Engineer Pierce. His widow at once
brought the suit through her attor-
| neys. -
It is claimed that the accident was
due. to negligence and carelessness on
| the part of the company and in no wise
was the engineer at fault. The com.
pany is claimed to have made only a
temporary repairing to a defect which
they knew to exist in the switch, that
the proper caution was not taken and
that the usual methods of insuring
safety and strengthening switches had
been neglected.
