the False Ivories.

ST PAUL, Mimi, May 25.-Judge Orr
is trying a jury case IN which the
plaintiff demands $1,000 damages from
a dentist. who. she says. kept her q
prisoner in his Office until she consented
to return him set of false teeth which
she had put In her mouth after he
had put the final touches on them.
Mary ]. Paxton is the plaintiff, and
Gilbert +. Stone the defendant.
She proceeds 10 tell the story IN this
way:
On the night OF November Z, 1906. she
called at the dental offices to secure a
set of false teeth, which the defend
ant had altered and perfected, SO that
they might the better conform to the
jaws and mouth Of the plaintiff. There
were plates Of both uppers and lowers
which he had made for her. She put
the plates in her mouth and told the
defendant that she would wear them
for two days, and then, if they We're
satisfactory, she would pay him the
SO due for the work.
She was leaving the office when the
defendant locked the door and, she
says. foTcibly removed her hands from
the lock and knob keeping her a
prisoner from S:l5 TO HIS o'clock Thus
he compelled her TO disgOrge from her
mouth and surrender the teeth as a
condition precedent to her departure.
