Attorney R. E. Austin attended
fhe fedaral court at Gharlotte last
week. He appeared with his co.
attorneys in behalf of Mrs. Hester
Leonard vs.. the Miami Mining
Co. This case came up for trial
on Thursday morning. Her at
torneys Immediately telegraphed
Mrs. Leonard, but for some cause
the message failed to reach Mrs.
Leonard until some five hours
after being delivered to the West
ern Union. The train was due to
leave this station just as Mrs,
Leonard learned that she was
wanted at Charlotte. Her evi-
dence was vital to the cause of
action, and it was all unfortunate
matter that the case was forced to
trial without her evidence. Fol-
this reason, it appears, the Judge
non-suited the plaintiffs for lack
of evidence. The plaintiffs at
torneys have appealed to the
circuit court of appeals at Rich
mond, asking for new trial. The
case will come up for hearing
about the first of April. In the
meantime, act; n will be taken
against the Western Union Tele.
graph Company for failure to de.
liver the message On time. Mrs.
Leonard is suing the mining com.
pany for $95, 900, damage for the
