and W. W. Thayer appeared for plain
| tiffs, A G. NJ. Robertson for the Mu-
tual Telephone Co. and D. L. Withing-
ton for the Rapid Transit Co.
After a few challenges the jury panel
twelve jurors was issued, returnable at
2 p. M, shortly after which the follow
ing jury was accepted and sworn:

ust 10, 1903, by coming in contact with
a live wire dangling in the street, be-
tween King street bridge and the Rap
id Transit Co.'S bridge. 1t is alleged
in the complaint in effect that the fatal
wire belonged to the telephone line and
having been broken fell across the feed
wire of the trolley car line, thus con-
veying high voltage of electricity
which entered the body of the deceased
as he was lawfully walking along King
street
The suit was brought on March 10,
1905, for the succeeding April term of
the First Circuit Court, but the trial
has been delayed until now.
Chas. F. Chillingworth, the coroner
who held the inquest on the victim,
was the first witness. DR.. n. b. Emer-
son, the police physician, was the next
Mr.. Robertson cross-examined the doc
tor closely in the endeavor to compel
an admission that his conclusion, that
the cause of death was electric shock,
was based on what he had been told of
the circumstances of the accident and
not upon his actual knowledge and
observation. There were keen pas
sages between counsel and witness.
They might have been from a hot
stove?" the, attorney queried with ref
erence to wounds in hand and foot.
mo, I knew there was no hot stove
there was the reply.
DR.. Emerson declined firmly to be
tangled up in hypothesis of things not
sarcastically framing a ques-
ton of the moons influence on the
earth as a parallel to the questions he
to answering.
'Or where was Moses when the light
went out?' Mr.. Robertson suggested,
and the jurors laughed with the rest.
Chang K. Tong, a brother OF the de-
ceased who was with him when he
died, was the last witness for the day.

would keep his mind occupied. He
loved the old town. He saw that IL
needed new life. He figured out that
there we're 600 farmers in the neigh
borhood. Each farmer surely spent
$50 a month somewhere for SUPPLIES.
This meant a total Of 100000 a month;
$3.50. 900 a year. Then the few hun
dred people in the town would add
other thousands to the volume Of bust
ness. Why not build great store and
supply the wants OF the people? He
would spend some money and build
up the town. He bought half block
on which three OF the stores stood.
He erected a large brick building, and
soon he had installed in II great stocks
OF goods. Other merchants in the
town shook their heads. The Public
Spirited Man was certainly crazy.
Farmers when they came to town
looked up the big building with won

away for type to set up the page ad-

get new press for the printing OF cir

One month after the opening OF the
store the graveyard quietness OF the
town had passed away. Streets were
lined with the teams and the wagons

grain had been started. The railroad
placed a new switch In the yard TO &C
