Be Tried in Circuit Court Again

Judge E. B. Belden of the Circuit
Court this morning filed Judgment
"a the Court granting new trial in
the suit of Bert Pierson VS.. The Citi-
zenDs Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany. The motion for judgment on
the verdict as filed by the attorneys
Tor the plaintiffs is denied and the
case IS to have another hearing on the
condition that the defendant company
pays the costs Of the trial within ten
days. In making his decision the

ing a new trial and that the verdict
was nota satisfactory one to him. He
goes into the case at length and re-
views the decision of the jury. It is
not known what further action will be
taken IN the case. 1t is certain that

great surprise to the attorneys for the
plaintiff as they had believed that
the Court would grant judgment on
the verdict.
The case was tried at the March
term Of the Circuit Court and the
plaintiff was given damages to the
amount Of $500 by the jury.

SomnanbuIist Has a Narrow Es.
cape From Death When He
Leaps From Window
ESCAPES WITHOUT INJURY
Man Leaps Twelve Feet From a Win.
dow While Sound Asleep. and
Escapes without a Broken
Bone-Sidewa1k Smashed

Peter A. Elsen, who resides at 354
Orange street, had a remarkable es.
cape from death just after midnight
this morning when, while walking in
his sleep he plunged head first out of
second story window at his home,
alighting on the sidewalk below and
escap ping without serious injuries.
Elsen, it seems, is given to somnam
bulism and for some time his friends
have been worried about his condi-
ton. He had worked hard on Thurs
day and had retired to his room early
IL the evening and when his wife re-
tired IN room on the first floor of
the home just after eleven O'Clock
Elsen seemed to be sleeping peace
fully. Ar hour later his wife was
awakened by the crashing of glass
and going to the window she discov-
cred her husband clad only in his
night clothing lying on the walk in
front of the house. Shouting for aid
the wife went out and assisted IN
picking the man up and carrying him
into the house. Elsen was pretty
wide awake after his fall of ten feet,
but he had no memory of walking
about the house. The window from
which Elsen fell is about ten or
twelve feet from the sidewalk. and it
is claimed that E1sen fell with such
violence that his elbow broke through
an inch board in the sidewalk.
One of the neighbors witnessed the
perilous plunge of the man and she
stated that she had seen Elsen walk
ing about in the room and had
watched him knowing that he was ac-
customed to walk in his sleep. The
window had been left open on account
of the hot weather and the woman
saw Elsen suddenly turn to the window
and without hesitation he plunged
head first TO the ground below. AS
soon as possible DIR. Van Westrinen
was called to treat the injured man
and an examination showed that no
bones had been broken. The man
was terribly bruised about the arms
and shoulders and in his fall he had
thrown one of his arms through a
window on the first floor of the house.
The broken glass had cut the arm in a
terrible manner and Elsen suffered
more from the cuts than he did from
his long leap.
This morning Elsen was very sore,
but there seems to be no danger of his
being permanently laid up as a result
of his flight through midair.
The injured man can recall nothing
leading up TO the leap from the win
dow and claims to have felt nothing
until he struck the sidewalk. It was
at first reported that E1sen had leaped
from the window with the intention
of taking his own life, but the facts in
the case showed this story to be en-
tirely without foundation. Elsen has
been walking in his sleep for years
and it is claimed that he often goes to
bed in one room and wakes up sleep
ing in another room. The cause of
the strange malady Of the man is not
known, but it is thought possible that
it is due to overwork.
