Judging by the Sound,

The man stammered painfully as he
stood in the dock at one of our police
courts. His name was Sissons. 1t
was very difficult for him to pronounce
his own name. He had the misfortune
to stay out late and make an uproar
one night and to have to account for
it before the magistrate the next
morning.
What's your name?" asked the
magistrate
Sissons began to reply: "Sis-sss-
sss-sss"
Stop that noise and tell me your
name" said the magistrate inpatient
ly.
"Sis-sss-sss'-
THAT will do" said the magistrate
severely. Officer what is this man
charged with?"
The policeman who, of course, was
an lrishman, Immediately responded,
with true Irish wit:
II think. yer Honor, he's charged
with sody wather."

CASES
Plaintiff in Case Of Lee VS..
Winters Gets the
Verdict.

Judge Sullivan has rendered two
decisions in cases which have been
pending for long time.
In the case of Lee VS.. Winters the
plaintiff, Mrs. Lee, was awarded
verdict of $29 and costs. Mrs. Lee,
who hired with Winters, proprietor
of the Northwestern hotel, claimed
that she was to get wages at the rate
of 81 per day for week and $3.50 per
week afterwards. Winters alleged
that he hired both Mr.. and Mrs. Win
theirs for 500 month and wanted to.
pay them on that basis. The Judge
decided that Mrs. Lee was entitled to
above verdict Massee & Finlayson
appeared. for the plaintiff and Bronson
& Collins for the defendant.
The other decision rendered was,
that in the case of the National Art
& Crayon company VS.. Tchida and
Fugleseth. The judge sustained the
demurrers for Tchida, Massee & Fin
layson, and dismissed the action as
far as Tchida was concerned, but rem
dered judgment against Fugleseth
for the amount of $115. Fugleseth.
had no counsel.
The case was complicated one and
involved a very fine point of law
The plaintiffs in the action, the Ma
tional Art & Crayon company, were,
incorporated under the name of the
Worlds Art Exchange company, and
received letters of credit from Tchida
and Fugleseth.
The company then changed its
name to the National Art & Exchange
company. The point involved was:

Judge Sullivan ruled that the let,

after the name of the corporation had
been changed, and rendered judg-
ment accordingly.

Sudden Death.
A little baby's terrible fate.

Last Friday night Mr.. lens
Christensen of the firm of Albertsen
& Christensen grocery dealers at
Audubon, his wife and little
two year old baby girl came down
to Extra to visit with Hans P,
Petersen of the firm of Hansen,
Lohner & Company and after
supper the baby with lot of other
children was out in front of the
Petersen home down in Kickapoo
Park. The little one got too close to
the heels of one of Mr.. Abel
Stones horses which Mr.. Stone
had out feeding on the grass along
by the side of the road, the horse
kicked striking the baby on the
side of the head crushing the skull
like an egg shell. The child was
picked up, carried into the house,
DR.. A. l.. Brooks, of Audubon, was
telephoned for, Doctors John
Riley, R. A. Jacobsen, and j. G.
Newton called, who, upon examina.
tion found that the whole top of
the skull had been so crushed and
mangled that it was loose, the
bones being broken from the side
and above the eye, ranging up
ward and backward nearly to the
back of the head. They did all in
their power for the little sufferer
but death more mercitul than the
horse came to her relief and she
closed her little eyes in death
about midnight, only living about
five hours after the accident.
Undertaken, D. E. Stranger, pre-
pared the body for the tomb and at
three o'clock Saturday afternoon
the grief stricken parents returned
to their home, where the funeral
was held Sunday and the little one
was laid to rest in the Maple Grove
Cemetery. The parents were
nearly distracted by the calamity
which had befallen them. The
mother could not control her grief
and was so prostrated that Mr..
Christensen had to support her
from the carriage, which followed
the remains to the depot, into the
coach. The tragedy cast a gloom
over the entire community and
our hearts go out in sympathy to
the parents whose little darling
was so ruthlessly taken from their

Another Sad Accident.

Mitchell B. Hayward, who has
been employed at the Poplar street
crossing, was struck by east bound
train No. this morning about $50
and instantly killed. He was
walking on the track when the train
came in and was struck by the en-
gine. His body was thrown about
twenty five feet and the side of his
head badly mashed. Death was
instantaneous. The accident
happened in full view of large
number of spectators at the depot,
Frank Kreamer, John Dodge and
Lester Peterman of Extra being
among them, and women hid their
eyes from the terrible sight, while
strong men shuddered from the
occurrence which they were power
less to prevent. The whole Thing
occurred so quickly that it is diffiult
to get at the exact particulars. His
body was picked up and taken to
the baggage room and coroner,
StultZ of Wiota was notified As
nearly as can be gathered from
those who witnessed the accident,
it is one of those cases where long
familiarity with danger from the
cars has created a disposition to
relax vigilance, and the deceased
was not as careful as he might have
been. He has been in the habit of
getting newspaper from the
morning train and in order to get it
he has to go on the south side of the
cars. 1t seems that he followed his
customary practice this morning
and in avoiding the Griswold train,
that was switching at that time he
stepped too far over in the track
and got in the way of the incoming
No. 2, that caused his death. The
force of the blow that struck him
was enough to cause instant death,
before his body struck the ground,
and never realized what struck him
Mr.. Hayward was a man of about
fifty-tive years of age and had been
an employee of the Rock Island
road for the past twenty-siX years,
having been engaged as brakeman
on the Audubon branch from 1878,
the year he came to Atlantic until
1894, when he got his hand caught
| between the cars and lost an arm,
since which time he has been EN-
ployed as tlagman or watchman at
the various street crossings in the
city, first at Chestnut street, and
later after the new depot was built
at the crossing on Cedar street. He
| leaves a wife and four children, one
boy and three girls who will have
the sincere sympathy OF the entire
community in their sudden be.

The Slaughter Was Awful

The Atlantic Blues came up to
Extra one day this week to play a
return game with our base ball
club. They were blue at the begin
ming of the game and as play pro-
ceeded they kept getting bluer and
bluer and bluer until they resem-
bled an indigo bag. The features
of the game were the masterful
ways in which our new pitcher, Mr..
Basil Sergeant, delivered the ball,
his right arm moving with a regu-
larity Of the pedulun of clock;
the splendid catching of Captain
Men efee, at the receiving end of the
battery; and the hard hitting by
every member of the home team.

A terrible cut.

About as neat job of surgery as

ship few days ago. Mr.. Joe
Wheeler had horse that he
thought a good deal OF and one
night several weeks ago, the ami
NAL got one of her feet entangled in
barbwire fence and the foot was
cut off smack, smooth, clean. Mr..
Wheeler shed a few tears when he
thought of having to knock the
faithful animal in the head with an
ak and was meditating upon such
deed when Brother T. 7. Coglan of
Greeley, happened along and said
"Here, what are you going to do?"
why, replied Mr.. Wheeler, this
horse has her front foot cut off and
am going to kill her" "Don't do
that" said Mr.. Coglan, "she can live
just as we'll with only three feet as
l have only one arm, put up that
ak and leave her alone" Mr..
Wheeler did so, poulticed the in
jured leg after having cut off a
piece of bone and drawing the hid e
down over the wound; the anima a
began to thrive from the very start,
the sore began to improve and
under Mr.. Wheeler's watchful care
was soon all healed up and today
passers by the Wheeler home see a
fine looking animal running about
the yard as happy and contented as
if nothing had ever happened.
