CHESTER SUES
CAPTAIN YORK
Asks for $4,000 Damages
For Alleged Slander-
Says He Was Ordered
From Company's Office.
OUTGROWTH OF SUIT
Heard in Cbancery Court Here Some
Months Ago@(aptain York Injured
His Reputation and Character. Says
Plaintiff in His Petition.

Frank Chester. formerly auditor at
the local offices OF the Bluff City
Lumber Company, but who is nov.
connected with the Greenwood Coal
Company at Greenwood, Ark. vester-
day filed suit in the Jefferson circuit
court against Captain B. York for
100000 damages for alleged SANDER,
100000 being asked as compensatory
damages and $4,000 as punitive. At
torneys Austin and Danaher and W
F. Coleman are counsel for the plain
tiff in the legal proceeding.
The suit is the outgrowth of tie
receivership hearing which was re-
corded in the Jefferson chancery
court in this city some months ago at
the instance of John F. Rutherford
and wife, who were successful in
their efforts to have a receiver ap-
pointed for the properties of the Dluff
City Lumber, Captain York and his
son, Robert York, the two controil-
ing stockholders in the company, re-
sisting their efforts. Captain York
and Mr.. Rutherford were named by
Chancellor John N. Elliott as core
cevers and they have since been act
ing in that capacity
/ Frank Chester was at the time of
the hearing employed at the local
office of the lumber company. He tes-
, titled at the hearing and his evidence
was not favorable to the York inter
ests. He alleges in his complaint that
on August 81, 1907, in this city, in the
presence of divers persons, that Ca2.
tain York maliciously and falsely
said to him that he was - -
liar; that you have sworn to a lie and
your presence is not wanted around
this Office"
By his remarks, Chester charges,
Captain York held him up to scorn,
hatred, contempt and ridicule; that he
attempted to falsely impeach his hon
esty, character and reputation and in
jure his standing and reputation in
the community.
The plaintiff says he suffered mcn-
tai anguish and shame and his repu-
tation was injured
The suit occasioned no little SEN
sation in business circles Saturday
and was generally commented upon
on the street corners Chester was
in the employ Of the Bluff City Lum-
Der Company for many years and
he was given a position by John F.
Rutherford at Greenwood, where Mr..
Rutherford owns extensive coal mine
interests.

turned out to hear him were more
thoroughly convinced than ever that.

very little cost as follows: First OBJ

sateen. Stretch material very flight

small leaves, etc., from the hedge
rows or garden. Arrange these in a
natural manner on your background
and fix firmly with small pins. Have
ready a small quantity Of marking
ink in a saucer. Now dip the teeth
of small toothbrush into the ink,
and draw a pin or your finger nail
along the edge of the teeth, thus
making thousands of minutes splash
es on your material in the form of
tiny dots Continue until your
background is dark enough to suit
your taste, then remove pins and
grasses, and you will be surprised at
the result. Every stalk and leaf
will stand out In brilliant relief on

One Of the first pieces the admirer

The reason for this partiality in
favor of the chest is not far to SIX.
The old-fashioned bureau is the most
familiar of all the old-time pieces,
and the best appreciated. Besides, a
good chest is a JOY forever. There is
no other piece that gives such an air
