We think the defendant, as one OF
the public and an adjoining lot own
er, had a right to cut the grass for
the sole purpose of improving the park,
and that he was not a>trespasser in
so doing. 1t is suggested that incon-
veniences may result by reason of
some possible conflict in the ideas of
those interested in the park as to
what acts would improve and benefit
it. This is possible. but we do not
think it probable that rivalry for its
improvement in fact will exist to the
extent of inconvenience. The NUM-
cipal authorities may take charge OF
the park under the statutory power to
make bylaws and ordinances for the
proper protection and care OF public
parks and squares" Should any one
unlawfully interrupt the rightful en-
joyment of the park by others he may
be restrained by proper proceedings.
1t follows that this action is not
maintained and that judgment must
be for the defendant

in a verdict for the defendant. The first
verdict was set aside on a motion for
a new trial on the ground of newly dis
covered evidence. The case is now be-
fore the court on PLAINTIFFS general
motion to set aside the second ver-
dict.
From an examination of the record
we think the evidence reasonably es-
tablished, that the machine was set
up and started Aug. II. 1902, that the

obtained and adjusted Aug. Il. or %.

The Withdrawal of Mr.. AIiYaoka is in

CYCLONE IN MISSISSIPPI.
SSix People Killed and Three Small
-
Towns Demolished.

A dispatch from Meridian says 8
small towns were practically demol-
ished by a tornado Friday. Reports
of the number of the killed range
from six to ten, with the smaller
number probably correct.
Mossville, Service and Soso are the
towns destroyed. They are all in
Jones County and all are very small
being merely a handful of scattered
dwellings.
The tornado struck them about
noon, and in most instances is report
ed to have carried buildings in its
path completely off the lots on which
they stood. Nearby fields were COW
cred with wreckage, and the branches
of several trees were Uttered with
small household articles.
L. S. Morrison, a resident of Moss
Vile, said that he was out OF doors
during the blow and was compelled
TO grasp a wire fence to keep from
aaAeing blown away. He said the dead
afMossville are Alexander Wlndham
and wife, negroes.
Near the town he said four Wnlte
persons had been killed, man ana
his wife and their two children
whose names he did not learn. Inc
seriously injured at Mossville are ).
w. Robinson, Mr.. and Mrs. WIN.
Campbell and Minnie Campbell.
Near Service one child OF Ike Hol-
loway is reported dead and also an
unknown negro. The tornado was
accompanied by torrent OF ram
which caused a sudden rise in the
creeks and washed away seVerai

PRAISES BRYAN.
New Jersey Congressman Pa, S
Him a Just Tribute in
Answering Another New Jersey Con-
gressman Who Thought Bryan
Wanted to Boss Things.

For the second time last week pol
itics cropped out during the discus
sion of the Indian appropriation bill
in the house of representatives. Mr..
Hamill of New Jersey got the floor
for five minutes, presumably to talk
on the bill
My colleague, Mr. Leake, last
Monday made some remarks derog-
atory of the conduct of William Jel-
nings Bryan" he said
Mr.. Hamill declared that the senti-
ments as eXpresseL By Mr.. Leake "are
not the sentiments I entertain or the
sentiments that prevail in Hudson
county, which we both represent;
which prevail for that matter,
throughout the State of New Jersey" :"
Mr.. Bryan, he said, had been criti-
cised because Of his knowledge of
the decalogue. In his opinion it was
amazing that Mr.. Bryan should be
opposed on the floor of the house be-
cause he showed an acquaintance
with the Ten Commandments. 1t
was refreshing, he said, to fnd a
man who not only boasted and pos
sessed an acquaintance with the
Ten Commandments, ''but who
throughout the entire course of pub
lie career has consistently put the
precepts of the commandments into
practice"
Shouts Of Democratic approval
greeted Mr.. Hamill's announcements
that while he agreed with the state
ment that Nj. Brvan's knowledge Of
the commandments would fit him to
occupy pulpit with prominence. Il
can also assure, the house, rejecting
at the same time their own convic-
ton, that that same acquaintance
will enable him to occupy with eclat
the post of president of the United
State. The principles Mr.. Bryan es-
pCu:ed, he said, were so undeniably
sound, that his victorious oppon-
ents have appreciated many Of them
and made them the popular features
Of their policies. y
If, said Mr.. Hamill, it was true, as
charged by his colleague, that Mr..
BRYAN was engaged in the practice
of corraling delegates to the Denver
convention, it was the very same
practice indulged in "by the illus
trious gentleman with whom my
friends on the other S.de Of the cham
Der boast of as their political chief
tain"
