A number of old friends met at

blage was to celebrate the birth
day of our worthy Postmaster,
Mr. l.. E. Divelhess, who had
just passed his seth milestone
"n the journey of life.
After some hours had been
spent in games and pleasant con-
versation, the hostess, Mrs. Id.

seated with the family at a table
that was generously supplied
with good things to eat and to
which savory viands, it is need
less to say, all did ample justice.
Mr. Divelbess was the recipient
of toasts and wishes of many
happy returns of the event, and
each departing guest was made
to feel that he had shared alike
with his fellows the true hospi-
tality of the pioneer. We regret
that circumstances prevented
our being present but we will
take the liberty to extend the
limit of our invitation about 365
days and try it again.

trial for highway robbery. The COM
plant was fled in Justice Quinn's
court and the girls bail was fixed at

her on the street recently after she
had been talking with Percy Pembroke

be seen conversing with a man with as
black a reputation as Percy. Sheriff
Barnet claims that he never spoke to

'RED- BLAIR DESCRIBES

Union Engineer Tells Story of His
BIoodless Fight With Armed
Guards on the Czarina

Red" Blair, or Edward A. Blair,
the union engineer who ELECTED the
admiration of Attorney R. Porter Ashe
for his gameness in exchanging revol-
yer shots with the guards of the
steamer Czarina during the water
front strike last year, testified yester-
day before Referee Clement Bennett In
the contempt proceedings against An

to questions by H. w. Hutton, counsel

pany, Blair said that he was day en-
gineer of the launch Annie H, owned
by Harry Johnson and hired by Furu-
seth for union picket duty. AS he was
approaching the Czarina with a launch
full of union pickets, one of the guards
fired revolver shot at the union men
in the launch. Blair took a revolver
that was hanging in the cabin and re-
turned the guards fire. The revolver
belonged to the launch, he said, and
was used for giving signals with
blank cartridges.
Blair denied all knowledge of the

they only called one another by their
Christian names. He also swore that
the launch never went near a nom

been issued. The investigation will be
resumed next Saturday at 10 a. m.

became exasperated and last night he

explanation that goes with 1t:
The endless chain Of prayer-"O Lord Jesus
Christ, we implore Thee. o Eternal God TO

recommending that II be rewritten and be sent
