i AT this stage of the proceedings
the Teter men grew frantic, and the
utmost excitement prevailed. They
! ragged and Kissed and tore their hair
/ to employ n honely phrase, and out
of the turmoil came a number Of mo-
/ lions to adjourn and other motions
| all having one object--delay. Delay,
| delay, seem to be the implied slogan

| lions and sawed about In a perfect fit
/ of rage and disappointment. However,
| 1.-THE DAWSON men managed to hold
them level. aud their motions and
counter motions were turned down
