TO go 10 the jury, after hearing counsel
for Mr.. Chase make motion TO have
the case dismissed. ruled oct the as
sumpsit count in the declaration which
was predioate9 on a contract had by
the complainant with the defendant.
Ticket Revokable.
IL was said that the contract especially
provided that his ticket Of admission
could be revoked when so desired by
the proprietor. The two remaininl
counts Of the declaration. one in tort
and the other i'm trespass, alleged that
the complainant was properly in the
theater but improperly elected. and that
his eviction from the playhouse was
accomplished with more force than alb
SOiutely necessary.
The contention of counsel for Mr.

and the proprietor had the right 10

Trains from the eastern and western

Seats in the court house were at a

but all available standing room was

I. There is always more or less fighting,

court week. but it is prophesied that
Marlinton will eclipse itself at this term.
Open threats OF violence have been
made against Senator OsentOn and At
1orneys Price and Gilmer for defending
the prisoners, but the lawyers say they
have heard such talk before. and are
not in the least frightened.
Many persons have visited the CORY
scene of the atrocious outrage and re
turned with the determination to see
that punishment is melted the prisoners.
Photographs Of the scene Of the assault
are in the possession of the prosecuting
attorney and Will be placed in the hands
OF the jury.
Il is generally conceded that miscar-

for Ratlin and Cay to escape the hang

Course of Defense.
Attorney Osenton. a graduate OF

Washington. is a skillful criminal law

men charged with homicide and other
serious offenses. Several weeks ago ne
successfully defended two men indicted
for a crime similar to that with which
Ratlif and Gay stand charged.
Public sentiment was just rs strong In
that case as it is here and feeling ran
high against Senator Osenton for par
ticipating IN the trial.

has been mapped out by counsel for the

TRIED TO BREAK JAIL
JailOr Smith Stops Two Prisoners
from Tearing Down Door

Had it not been for the watchful-
ness Of Jailer Luther Smith, there
might have been Jail delivery at the
federal jail last night.
About the time the storm came up
Smith thought he heard some unusual
noises coming from the jail and went
out to investigate and found Charles
Pratt and Charles 0sburn, the two
men put in yesterday afternoon charg-
ed with breaking into Rock Island
freight cars, engaged in tearing the
oak door to pieces. The door is Of
heavy oak, three thickness, and the
men had found something with which
to pry it loose and had gotten of one
thickness. The men were both put
in a cage by the jailer at which they
got sore and became very abusive.
Smith told them TO keep cool or he
would put them in shackles, and they
promptly invited taem to try it. He
not only tried it but did it. They
were quiet after that.

In the % counties that had been re-

TELEPHONE TALKS.
"THEY DON'T ANSWER. /,

1t is always annoying when you are try
ing to get somebody on the telephone to be
told that "they don't answer" And if you
are in an unusual hurry, or are particularly
disappointed, or are a little excited-for the
moment you have waited seems like an age
sometimeS-you may think that "Central''
Is to blame. Ii you are specially irritated
you may even accuse the operator of not
having tried at all to get the person you
want.
Look into your exchange some day-the
manager will be glad to see you any time
and watch how its work is done. Then
you'll feel differently about it. You can
rest assured that if Central says "they
don't answer" they don't. She has
tried her best to get them, but without
success.
The first thing the operator does when
you give her call is to "test" to see if the
number you ask for is busy. If the line is
not in use, she connects with it and rings
the subscribers bell. If nobody answers
her first ring within Is seconds she rings
again. II there is still silence after another
quarter OF a minute she rings third time
If there is no response in the next Is Sec
onds she reports to you "they don't
answer" Then she will ring again, and
again, if you ask her to. 1t is good deal
like ringing someone's doorbell. If nobody
comes to let you in after you have rung two
or three times you make up your mind that
the family is out and go away. The tele-
phone company has to stop somewhere,
and it gives up at the end of minute and
half to two minutes, after ringing three
times, unless it is asked to keep on.
Most often, you will notice, it is whee
you call up residence that you are toln
they don't answer" The reason is simple
when you come to think of it, but probably
1t doesn't occur to everybody. In business
place the telephone is pretty sure to be
located where the bell can be heard easily
and there is some one whose business it is
to answer calls. At any rate, there is
always somebody near the instrument to
answer promptly in business hours. There
are lots OF times. of course, when there is
nobody at home to anwer a residence tele-
phone. Besides, good many people insist
on having their house telephones put in
out of the way corners. The result is that
the ringing of the bell is not always heard,
and, even when it is heard, anwerng it
means trip into another room or upstairs
Then, too, it is not always convenient to
drop housework or leave company and go to
the telephone instantly, and that makes
delay which gives the Impression that there
Is nobody on hand to answer your sum
mons.
These things no doubt have good deal to
do with your being told 'they don't answer"
In many cases they account for your meet
ing friend every now and then who says,
when you tell him you tried to call him up
ana couldn't get him, that he twas there all
the time" They also 90 to explain why,
When you answer your own telephone after
a delay, you are sometimes told by the
operator that there is nobody on your line
now" The person who was calling you has
given you up and gone away.
