SUSTAINED
BY COURT

Mnna Garberg will get the $3.50 award
ed her by "A jury against the Outlet.
Plaintiff was injured by stepping on a
marble floor at one Of the entrances of
the store. II was claimed in the supreme
court that the verdict was unwarranted
by the evidence and that the damages
awarded were excessive.
Chief Justice Douglas writes the opinion
Of the court. saying:
This case presents plain questions of
fact for the jury. They have found, upon
what seems 10 US competent evidence,
hat the defendant was guilty Of negli-
gence In maintaining a slippery pave
ment directly below and sloping down

10 use II in patronizing the store. And
they have also found by implication hat
the plaintiff was In the exercise Of due
care when she met with the accident OF
which she complained.
we see no reason to disturb their con-
illusions. The damages I'm the circum-
stances cannot be considered excessive"
The court also holds IL was proper TO
allow an expert 10 testify whether or not
a pavement OF such construction. as at
the place OF the accident. and laid at
such a pitch was dangerous.

A suspicious character knocked at the
rear door of an Elmwood residence on
Friday last. and when the maid appeared

the rooms on the third floor to see what

The maid was not TO be fooled, however.
and said there was no work 10 be done
upstairs that she knew anything about.
The man insisted on going up. but the
girl was firm. and the mans game was
spoiled.
He left in a hurry and made tracks

PREPARING FOR
! 4 BOLD STROKE

St. Petersburg, Oct 3o-The city continues outIvardly calm
but there is the most intense excitement beneath the surface. The
strike committee continues to restrain the people from violence, this
being considered to be the best means of attaining the ends in view,
but behind the scenes the members of the committee are holding
constant meetings with the leaders of the various groups and seem
to be preparing for a bold stroke at the opportune moment.
The committee believe that the longer an open collision, which
would force a show of hands, can be avoided the better their chances.
The army. they say, is being gradually won over to the peoples
cause.
Only the Cossacks, who are referred to as Emperor William
