AGED LITICANTS
ARE In COURT
Charles Main, Eighty Seven
Years Old, Is Prosecuting
Case Against His Agent
TRANSACTION IN BONDS
Claim That T.R. Hayes With
held Securities Purchased
With Plaintiffs Money

A beginning was made In Judge Sea-
wells court yesterday in the trial Of
the case of Charles Main against
Thomas r. Hayes, personally and as
executor Of the will Of his son. c. e.
Hayes, to recover 600 shares of stock in
the Standard Portland Cement Com
pany. The plaintiff, member Of the
firm of Main & Winchester, is 81 years
old. The defendant went into the
firms employ fifty-one years ago. For
the last ten or twelve years of his
service he was Mains confidential
agent, privileged to make investments
for him without question.
According to the complaint, In Sep
tember, 1902, Hayes bought fifteen Of
the cement company's bonds during
Mains absence in the East and upon
Mains return. at his request. bought
five more. In January of this year,
Main says, he discovered that Hayes
and his son had received and withheld
600 shares of the company's stock
which were given as a bonus with the
bonds. The stock is declared to be
worth $45, 900.
Hayes was on the stand and remem-
bered the transaction and admitted
that the stock was issued In his name
or that Of his son. but he did not reach
an explanation as to his claim Of
ownership, which was set forth in his
answer to the complaint. He was with
drawn as a witness in order that the
prosecution might lay a foundation for
questions along that line by proving
the issuance of the stock by the evi-
dence of the secretary of the COM
pany. Then the case was continued
until next Monday morning.
One of the contentious in the answer
of Hayes is that $4,000 worth of the
bonds were purchased for Mains
granddaughter, with her money. Main
in his deposition denies this strenu-
ously and says that she has not a far
things interest in the security, al
though he might have intended to give
her the bonds later. A letter TO him
from Hayes showed that there was an
entry in a certain book stating that the
bonds belonged to Mrs. Crawford's &C
count. In regard TO this, Mr.. Main
makes an interesting explanation He
says Hayes kept his books and handled
his private affairs without question.
Main had implicit confidence in
HAYES and relied upon his judgment.
A great many years ago. when Main
granddaughters were little children, he
started a separate account for them
and from time to time added to il in
the way of money and securities. In
the case of Mrs. Crawford. he says, her
account had reached $4,000 when she
married and with this she bought a lot
and built a home in Washington, d. G.
The aged plaintiff says that when he
found that stock had been given as a
bonus with the bonds he wrote to
Hayes about it and the latter denied
that it had been so issued; this, says
Main. was a source of great surprise to
him. The defense maintains that when
the stock was issued 1t was not worth
more than $4,000 and is now valued at
only half of what the plaintiff alleges it
to be.

'Salammbo," which will be presented
here at the Columbia Theater on Mon
DAY evening by Frederick Warde and

points it promises to be one of the
most interesting events of the present
season. Its stage pictures and cos
TUNES will represent scenes and man
ners of dress absolutely unfamiliar and
the dramatic action will be accom-
panied by a melodious musical score,
composed by Henry K. Hadley, neces-

THE POST DISCOVERY.
A Revelation in Human Food.

previous TO the discovery of the Post
process OF changing the starchy part of
Wheat and Barley into form of su-
gar, many people suffered from what is
known as starch Indigestion.
Ihat was shown by gas and all sorts
OF stomach and bowel trouble tsome-
times ending in appendicitis brought
on by the undigested starch in wheat.
oats. white bread, cake, puddings. etc.
Nature ultimately Furnishes any one
who continually takes some medicine
or drug to smooth over or nullify bad
conditions of the body The only safe
way TO cure such is to correct or re-
move the cause. Therefore it was plain
TO Mr.. Post, in working out his dis
covery, that people who show some
weakness IN dlgesting the starchy part
of food (Which is much the largest
part of all we eaO must be heIned
by having the starch digested or trans
formed before being eaten. And Of
course the safest and truest way 10 do
this would be to initiate nature and
avoid all chemicals or outside and nm
natural things. The body digests the
starchy food by the following process:
First it is mixed with the moisture or
juices of the mouth and stomach. then
warmth or mild heat from the body
grows or develops disease from the
ment and when all work together and
the human organs operate properly
the starch is slowly turned into form
of sugar, as 1t must be before the blood
Mil absorb it. and carry the needed
energy 10 different parts of the body
OF course If the body falls to do its
work perfectly trouble sets in.
So in the making of the famous food
Grape-Nuts, moisture, warmth and
time are the only things used to turn
starch into sugar, thus initiating ma
ture and keeping the human food In
original purity, free from outside
things and just as Mother Nature in
tends it shall be kept for advantage
Gus use bv her children. The food is
fully cooked at the factories, and IL
crisp and delicious with little thick
cream poured over.
1t can be softened fer people with
weak teeth, but is most valuable tc
others when 1t must be energetfcally
chewed, thus bringing down the salive
from the gums to go to the stomach
. and help digest the entire meal be-
sides the use Of the teeth strengthens
and preserves them. Nature biesses
the parts of the body that are used and
not abused. Grape-Nuts food brings
peace. health and comfort when peo-
pie are in despair from the ails re-
suiting from undigested food.

ROBBED BANK.

Monday Night.
UP THE SAFE.

ONEONTA. n. Y, May 3.-A band Of
masked robbers rode into the sleeping
village of Gllbertsyille, about eighteen
miles from here, ut 3 O'Clock in the
lcorning, blew open the modern and
supposedly burglar proof safe in the
private bank of +. c. Brewer and made
good their escape with booty estimated
at between $1,000 and $10,0 200. When
TIE startled villagers We're awakened
BY the mdflled roar of the explosion
and had been halted by the pistol fire
Of the retreating bandits they found
that the robbers had completely isolat-
cd Gilbertsville from the outside world
by cutting all the telegraph and tele-
phone wires. Efforts to communicate
with ~neighboring towns were futile,
and when the village folk finally start
CT in pursuit the robbers had gained
"A lead which could o be overcome.
The robbers hastily gathered up all
the money exposed by the explosion
End started on Il run just as the first
of the awakened villagers reached the
scene. Among the first to arrive ut the
bank were W. Il. Ward and C. A. Dan
ielS, who encountered the robbers and
were held in check by their threats to
shoot. Other residents quickly came
UP, but in the meantime the invaders
were making good their escape, firing
as they went.
The alarm spread rapidly through the
town, and in Il short time everybody
was awake and hurrying to the bank.
Then an attempt to communicate with
the neighboring towns was made in
the hope OF intercepting the burglars.
Telegraph offices and the telephone OK
change were opened, but the operators
found only dead, wires. Then plans for
pursuit were quickly made. Postmas-
Ter W. S. Root and c. p. Root, his
brother, started for Mount Upton, the
nearest railroad station. six miles
away. They had gone but half q mile
when they came upon Il team hitched
10 Il telegraph pole. One of the horses
had become ~entangled in the harness
and thrown himself. The robbers ap-
parently had made an attempt to right
the harness in the darkness, but finally
abandoned the effort and made off. The
team proved to have been stolen from
a neighboring barn,
Mr.. Brewer. who has conducted the
bank ut Gilbertville for many years,
said that he could make no statement
rs to the extent of the loss at this time.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1905-05-03

1t is believed that nearly $4,000 in
cash was kept in the safe. Mr.. Brewer
is wealthy and is said to be able to
make good the loss to depositors.
1t is certain that three of the men
who committed the Gilbertsvllle rob
berry are the professional postoffice and
bank burglars who blew open the safe
of the %postofiice at Port Dickinson, adj
joining this city. ten days ago.
The three men were seen 1t Mount
Upton. where a description of them was
obtained. One is a large. tall man,
another short and ~thickset, and the
other medium sized.
From that place it is thought that
they escaped on n %northbound Ontario
