(Special to News n Observer
sW~adesboro, June ga novel suit,
the first, OF the kind in this State,
was filed in the Superior Court yes
terday afternoon. Attorney Walter e.
Brock, representing 3. F. Blggs, filed
a complaint asking damages in the
sum of $4,000 from the Seaboar Air

his character. In addition Mr.. Blggs
also asks as damages the Inference
in the amount which he had been re-
ceiving as salary as agent and thai
which he is now receiving as an Cpe-
ratOr.
The complaint alleges that in the
fall Of 1907 Mr.. Biggs was the agent
of the Seaboard Air Line Railway
Company at Wadesboro and that he
asked to be hecked out a. he had
accepted a position as the agent Of
the Atlantic Coast Line at Orange
burg, S. c. The travelling auditor Of
the came to W~adesbOrO and
checked out Mr.. Biggs and he went
the Seaboard Air Line wrote Mr..
Biggs and charged him with q short
age Of $437. In reply Mr.. Biggs
asked for a re-checking and an eX-
of the books. This the COM
pany refused and notified him that
unless he settled the alleged shortage
that they would report him to the
bonding and demand settle
ment from them. This was done by
the railway and h bonding
company began their efforts to secure
the mou from Mr.. Biggs. Attor-
ney Brock was employed, and after
he had made an examination Of the
hoo1yc no -danoon6o6 that tho railway
company accede to Mr.. Biggs' request
and re-check him. Finally, after
threats of prosecution, the
sent a representative to WadeSbOrO
and the investigation brought out the
fact thai there was only a shortage
of 81 and that this was the result of
a clerical error and had been made
by the auditor in the first examina-
ton Of the books.
In the meantime MI. Biggs had
been appointed by the Atlantic Coast
Line as their agent at; WadesbOrO n
in this position applied to the n
ing for a bOnd This was
refused on the ground of the accusa-
ton brought by the Seaboard Air
Line. Mr.. Biggs was forced to give
up his position and accept work as an
operator at Columbia, which position
he now holds. After some time had
elapsed and the second examination
was made the bonding mott
fed Mr.. Biggs that they would issue
him a bond acknowledging the error
made in the beginning Of the con
trOVerSy.
Mr.. Biggs has many friends here,
and this has been his home through
out his life, who appreciate the
trouble which was brought to him
through the. mistake, and who are
happy at his complete vindication.
Because of the damage to his char
acter and the loss or wages the suit
was brought, and it Will be for trial

JONES-BRITT BOUT
IS DISAPPOINTR ENT
Referee Smith Gives UnSat-
isfactory Decision in Favor
of Baltimorean.

To a large delegation Of Washington
sports who went 10 Baltimore expecting
to see a real fight between Willie Jones,
Of New York, and Young Britt, OF Bal
timore, the 90 between this pair last
night was distinct disappointment.
After q few Indifferent preliminariss
the principals entered the ring, but from
the outset It was evident that the New
Yorker intended to force the fight. In
almost every round Jones took the Of
fensive and it was all the Baltimore
boy was able TO do to Withstand his
persistent rushes. The GOthamite went
at II hammer and tOngs and so often
did he land that, to an unbiased mind,
he was clearly entitled to the decision.
Before the bout started, Joe Barrett,
the promoter, announced that the man
selected for referee had left town on
short notice, and il was necessary TO
select an Official from the crowd. The
choice fell upon some unknown, VINO re-
crested that he be called ''Afr. Smith"
If ''AIr Smith" knew the first prtn-
ciples about refereeing,, he did not show
It during the course Of the evening. Be
tween trying 70 answer the protests
from the ringside and pulling the op-
posing boxers apart, Mr.. Smith" had
a most busy session. As the bout went
on, the situation grew worse. until ne
commenced to warn Jones against hit
ting in the breaks, and finally threat
ened to disqualify him. This was about
the tenth round
1t was evident that neither Of the
fighters intended % heed the instIuc-
lions, and so deliberate did they become
in fouling that there were Kisses from
every section OF the rather small crowd

Finally in the fOurteentk round when

Britt the winner, declaring that Jones
had deliberately fouled the Baltimore
boy. Hardly had the word feG MS
