brought. \ in that can possibly be adj
duced on each side.
It is not likely that the actual trial
will begin until tomorrow; at least it
is unlikely that any evidence will be
taken before that time as it is consid-
cred probable that the selection of
jury will occupy considerable time.
1t is not known whether the other
suit against Captain Carter will be
reached at this term of court or not.
1t probably depends upon the length of
time occupied with the case now on
trial. The next case in order Would
be that of DR.. L. H. Doty against Capt.
Carter for $4,000.
The other suit, Green against Capt.
Carter has been compromised.
Goes Over Until Tomorrow.
On application of the defense in the
Carter-Schuch case, the court this af.
ternoon permitted the suit to go over
until tomorrow morning or account of
three absent witnesses, G. M. Rubbish,
of Meridian; Mr.. Lindsey, of the
Lindsley1Mobley Company, and anoth-
er witness at Picayune, Miss. A lively
Skismish took place between the at
torneys, and the attorneys for the de-
fense announced that they had no
idea at this time of making an appli
1 cation for continuance, but hoped
to go on with the trial in the morning.
The defense, therefore, did not an
nounce ready this afternoon, but it is
believed that they will do so in the
morning. II was stated by the defense
that several prominent physicians
would be asked to examine the plain
tiff, Mr.. Schuch as to the injuries
he had sustained, and the attorneys for
the plaintiff stated that they not only
had no objection, but expected to ask
this themselves.

Trouble by Blowing Whistle On His Engine.

The police testified that Mr.. Laird
had sounded his whistle several times

but Mr.. Laird said he was pushing

that as matter of precaution, he blew
two long and two short whistles.
The ordinance is that the whistles
