here and there. His age is 81. He
was born in Floyd County, Virginia,
and got into the navy via Utah, be-
ing appointed at large by President
Buchanan. His full name is Bobley

Samuel Andrew Jackson Evans, and
Bob was named for the noted DR..
Boblev Duaglison of Baltimore,
whose son was a famous physician
and author in Philadelphia, DR..
Richard James Dunglison.
Bob acquired the sobriquet OF
"Fightinc Bob" as every one ought
to know. when he visited Valparaiso,
Chilli. with the Yorktown in 1891,
and threatened to blow a hole in the
Andes big enough to sail a flee.

MANY ways and is liked in tnc navy.

COMMON PLEAS COURT,
Mrs. Oxner Gets Verdict For S510-
Juries Dismissed Wednes-
day Morning.

In the common pleas court, Judge
Ernest Gary presiding, the juries
were dismissed on Wednesday morn
ing. Three cases had been set for
trial on Wednesday, but owing to the
illness Of Mr.. Fred. H. Dominicl,
who was Of counsel in each
Of the cases, the cases were
continued. All the cases on the ros-
fer prepared by the bar having been
disposed of, there was 10 further
need for the juries.
Equity matters, and matters not re-
quiring a jury, were then taken up.
The case Of Mrs. Annie P. Oxner
against the Western Union Telegraph
company resulted in verdict Of five
hundred and ten dollars for the plain
tiff. Mrs. Oxner's suit was for ST.
500. She alleged that on the Both OF
March, the day after the fire in New
berry, she filed with the Western I'm
ion at Whitmire a message directed
to her father, Mr.. Geo. W. Pearson,
at Newberry, asking, care you
safe." She alleged that her two
children we're in Newberry in Mr..
Pearson's home, and that all ner
household goods. were in her fathers
home. She further alleged that the
telegram had never been delivered to
her father. Judge Gary, after hear
ing the testimony Of the plaintiff
withdrew the question of mental
anguish from the jury, on the ground
that the telegraph company had not
been put on notice, either by the tele-
gram or otherwise, that Mrs. Oxner
was worried about her children, the
operator at Whitmire not having
been informed, and there being moth
ing on the eface of the telegram to
show, that Mr.. Pearson was Mrs.
Oxner's father, or that Mrs Oxner
had children in NewberTy about
whom she was worried. Judge Gary
submitted to the jury the question as
to whether or not the plaintiff had
sustained actual damages by the
failure to deliver the telegram, PLAIN
tiff having paid twenty-five cents to
the company, and whether or not II
there was negligence on the part OF
the company in failing to deliver it,
the negligence was so gross as to
warrant Furnishing the defendant.
Miss Sue Dean, operator at New
