HAMoN WILL is
DECLARED VALID
Young Widow Is Awerded the Prop
erty Of Her Aged Husband.

Jefferson City, Mo-: Division No /
of the Missouri State Supreme Court
handed down thirty.fve opinions We'd
nesday and adjourned until March 16.
Inc suit brought by Mary Reno
against the st. Louis and Suburban
Railroad Company for personal injuries
was reversed. The trial court gave
her a verdict for $4,000. The reversal
was based on the ground of contribu-
tory negligence.
In the Hamon will case. which came
from Platte County, the court reversed
and remanded the case. The tes-
tatOT, John Hamon, was SO years old
and married a woman fifty-eight years
his Junior on August 2, 1899. Fifteen
days later he made his will, and in
November following he died, leaving
an estate estimated to he worth $751;
900 to $4,000. He bequeathed every
thing to the widow, except some nom
inal requests, naming her brother as
sole executor, without bond. His
heirs attacked the will.
Josiah FogaTty brought suit against
the st. Louis Transfer Company,
seeking to recover $4,000 for per
soDal injuries. In the trial court he
was awarded a verdict OF $4,000, but
THIS was reduced by Temittur to So
900. This is affirmed.
The verdict of the trial court,
which gave Charlotte c. ]. Petty 81
600 for damages against the st. Louis
and Meramec River Railroad Com
pany for personal injuries, was re-
versed.
David f. Wheat brought suit against
the City of st. Louis to recover $10,-
600 damages for personal injuries re-
sulting from his milk wagon colliding
with a manhole which projected three
feet above the street level. The trial
court awarded him a verdict of $1,000.
This is reversed.
In the suit brought by Lulu F. SEES
elbach against the City of st. Louis
and the Fruin- Bambrick Construction
Company to recover $4,000 damages
for personal injuries, the trial court
found in favor of the construction
company and against the city, fixing

FRAUDS N A SALE OF HAY.
Ernndn m Ma,nh casen.

According 10 an article In the CiBeinnatii
Commercial. o ffty-one pound stone was
recently found IN that city secreted In y
bale Of hay OF eighty pounds.

solid gold watch case secreted in the cen-
ter of the case
Gold watch cases arc sold by weight,
and no one can see where this lead IS Sc

taken out and the lead will be found So
creted behind them.
These cases are made by companiesgYho
profess to be honest but furnish the means
TO the dishonest to rob the public. n Is
not pleasant for anyone 20 find that Nc has
lugged lump Of lead IN his watch case.
Another trick the makers Of spurious
solid gold watch cases is to stamp The case
90. S. Assay" The United States does
not stamp any article made out Of gold
and silver except coin, and the fakir, by
using this stamp, wants TO make the public
believe that the government had something
70 do with the stamping or guaranteeing
the ftneness OF watch cases.
Another trick of the watch falSir Is to-
advertise a watch described as q solid gold
hlled watch with twenty or twentyShv0-
year guarantee. These watches ore gem
orally sent @. o. D., and II the purchaser
has paid for the watch he finds tliat the
Company which guaranteed the wlHbeh 70,
wear Is not in existence.
The Dueber-Hampden Watch Couuvanv-

posing these frauds, will furnish the,

An Irish retriever. which had been
taught to bring his masters slippers
when required, was one day expelled
from the drawing room when visitors
were calling, as he was making himself
rather troublesome. The dog, feeling
himself in disgrace, in order to pro-
pitiate his master, went to every bed
room in the house and collected all the
slippers and old shoes he could find,
which he deposited outside the draw
ing room door. Imagine the feelings Of
the lady Of the house, when the door
was opened for the departing visitors,
and this scene was revealed to view.
