damages against f. B. Within by a
jury in Judge Robinson's court last

days. The jury retired at GAS and re-
turned with its verdict at 1920.
The cause of action was injury sus-
tanned by plaintiff in collision be-
tween defendants automobile and a
hack in which he was riding, near the
Hawaiian Hotel some months ago.
Damages of $4,000 We're asked and Il
similar suit by the hackman, Gumpher,
is pending. j. j. Dunno and w. T.
Rawlins We're attorneys for plaintiff,
and c. f. Peterson represented DEFEND
ant. The case was hard fought
throughout the trial.
Mr.. Dunno. in his closing address to
the jury, INDUCED in some humor at
the expense OF Marston Campbell, an
expert autoist called as witness by
defendant, reciting the following
verses:
OVERWEIGHTED.
He sat on the jury. He noted with
care
Everything offered in evidence there
he took the exhibits. with caution In
hand,
And heard what the witnesses said on
the stand.
As the days passed along he felt sure
he could trust
His judgment to offer a verdict quite
just:
But his confidence straightway gave
place unto doubt
When the experts their theories grave
ly brought out.
OF anatomy now he knows much that
is new;
Of wild autos pranks, and weird dis
tances, too:
Collisions unknown he's able to trace, |
But he's wholly forgotten the facts in
the case.

THIS YOUTH

n. Is, Rose, n young Hawaiian boy
who a few years ago essayed to follow
the sea for living. is an example OF
what Hawaiian can do in the seafar-

mind, behaves himself and is diligent
and persevering.

Leaving the Phelps in Philadelphia
he Joined the S. S. Britannia bound for
Bremen, as chief quartermaster. The
steamer collided with a schooner and
sank, the crew being picked up by the
schooner Lilly S. and landed at the
port of Boston. Rose went thence to
Baltimore where he Joined the w. F.

is as follows:
I'VE left Baltimore June s, 1906, and

When we got our bearings we found

The wind blew until 1t was so bad that
we had to run down before it to save
the ship. With cargo shifting we were
in a pretty bad state. We had bad
weather all the way running the east

court against Frank A. Johnson, a
druggist of Stratford, and J. E. john

their stores with intent to sell same
contrary to law. The petitions further
aver that on or about the 18th day

Mr.. Fry, thru his attorneys, has also
filed another suit against the stock
holders of this bank for $4,000, or the
double liability that the law places the
stockholders Of the bank in for protec-
ton Of the depositors. Each stock
holder in a failure like this one, is la
BILE for the full amount Of the stock anu
for sum equal to the amount OF stock
which he owns 1t is thought that all
of the stockholders, with the exception
of Leroy Ware, the cashier of the
bank, are financially able to and will
nave to make this payment. Mr.. Ware
only owned about $1,000 so that the
amount secured by this suit will be
about $4,000. It is thought there Is
little question but Mr.. Fry can collect
this money, but the stockholders will
likely fight the other suit very hard.
OF course even with that sum they
will not receive dollar for dollar on
