MAN WAS MADE TO HUSTLE
A Bio Damage Suit.

Maj. w. H. Bradley of Sails.
bury filed a suit for Christ Nivert
also OF Salisbury, last Saturday
for the November term of circuit

November by the engine on
west. bound freight train No. 81.
At the time the injuries were
sustained, Mr.. Nivert was max.
ing come repairs to the trestle
when the engine struck him,
and claims that no alarm was
given by the engineer so as to
warn plaintiff of the approach
of danger. Plaintiff states that
while in discharge of his duties
as a section hand on the Waba sh
and in accordance with instruc-
tions from the section Doss at sal
isoury, he had been sent to Tx
the railroad track and make any
repairs he found necessary, and
that while placing and replacing
bolts on said trestle to secure
the railing to the track, etc., he
was struck by an engine and
train of cars, being freight,

ders and breast crushed, beside 6

on his head, face and body
and sustaining serious in.
ternal injuries which have rem
dered him almost helpless and
incapacitated him from perform.
ing any manual labor, and tina,
said injuries are permanent and
lasting and oan not be relieved
Plaintiff alleges that the direct
cause of his said injuries are du G
to the negligence, carelessness
and recklessness of the officers,
agents, servants and employ es
of defendant whilst running,
conducting and operating said
engine and train of cars, by fail.
ing and neglecting to ring the
bell or sound the whistle on the
engine or give any other sigma
or alarm or check or stop the
tt ain, etc. This is the same suit
that Maj. Bradley brought fol
Mr.. Nivert at the May, 1907, tern
of circuit court at Keytesville
but took a nonsuit before the
case went to the jury. FREQ
Lamb of Salisbury has brought
the aame suit for Mr.. Nivert

Blind Men Build 4 House.

Two totally blind men built a house
for themselves at Berkeley, Cal, doing
all the carpenter work themselves
without any assistance whatever, says
the Cleveland Leader.
1t Is a coincidence that both these
men are named Joseph--Joseph Brown
and Joseph Martinez. The house Is Of
the popular bungalow type. one and a
half stories high, and constructed en-
tirely Of wood. 1t Is eighteen feet
wide by twenty five feet long.
AS the builders are sightless. the
work necessarily progressed slowly.
From early morning until frequently
long after sunset the two men toiled
patiently at their task. The shades Of
night did not hinder the work. for
MONDAY and midnight are equally
dark to them, and ont OF the bIackness
came the song OF the saw and the
blows OF the hammer to passersby,
who heard but saw no workmen.
From day to day the work was curl
ously watched by crowds. including
many carpenters The general work Il
pronounced as good as that performed
by many builders who are blessed with
perfect eyesight.

John shouldn't answer just like the
above quotation there surely wouldn't
be any wedding. for this judge has
strong antidivorce ideas and also the
courage to live up to them.
The last couple he married was Sci

The average couple apparently does
not figure on divorce, as Judge Weller

istrate in the city.

THE PAPA ELEPHANT
Remote Ancestors Bones Just
Found In Egyptian Desert.
TO BE BROUGHT TO AMERICA.

Jumbo Descended From the little
Meritherium - Another Remarkable
Monster unearthed 10 the Arsinoithe-
rum With Two Pairs Of Horns.
Adyices received at the American
Museum OF Natural History Indicate
that the expedition OF Professor Hen
~ Osborn to the desert of Fayoum,
Egypt. in search OF the extinct ances-
tors OF elephants. rhinoceroses and
horses has been successful. and that
the party will return next month with
tons Of valuable material.
The most remarkable Of the monsters
unearthed BY Professor Osborn is the
arsinoitherium, named In honor of the
queen. says the New York Herald.
This animal had huge pair Of horns
projecting forward above the nostrils
and u smaller pair Of horns lying far
ther back Its nearest allies, strange
TO say, are the extinct animals discOv-
cred In Wyoming and named the dino
ceras. or amblypOda, in sands having
the same geological age as those OF
Fayoum. Although as large az the
bowed with three pairs OF horns, none
had a front pair as large and singular
as those Of the beast OF Fayoum
These specimens, so widely separa ted
geographically, are considered as rep.
resentatives OF great group Of mann
mails which sprung from common an
cestors. The huge horns Of the arsinoi-
theriuln, set In skull three feet long.
with powerful jaws two feet long hay
ing complete series of most remark
able teeth emphasize the present SCI
entific view. that horns Of animals
were primarily not SO much for de-
Tense as to enable the males to fight
for supremacy In their own herds and
lord Ii over the females.
Another extinct wonder which Pro-
fessor Osborn will bring here from
Egypt is the meritherium. somewhat
smaller than the last. which Is undoubt-
eddy an elephant. yet with little re-
semblance to one, as it was apparently
trunkless and had only small, tooth
like tusks That 1t was an elephant at
all is shown by the teeth. undoubtedly
mastOdonlke This animal is regarded
as closely related to the ancestors OF
all elephants. if not the actual ances-
tor. From this piglke meritherium
surely sprang the huge latter day ele-
