Childrens Day exercises at the
Methodist church last Sunday con-
stituted an exceedingly enjoyable
and successful event. The little folks
acquitted themselves splendidly, to
the great delight of the large audience
present.
The exercises began with the process
slonal, a long line of little girls and
boys marching up the center aisle,
bearing flowers and palms, keeping
step to the professional hymn. This
was beautiful and touching sight
REGULATIONS and songs by the children
were interspersed with music by the
choir. The instrumental music was
rendered by Beans orchestra which
was of a high order. The Bible
Class of the Sunday School called for
repetition of the robin Song
which was exceedingly we'll rendered
by big class Of youngsters, the lit
tie boys joining in the chorus with
tuneful whistling.
III the little folks did well with
their respective parts and not only
won praises for themselves but for
their instructors, under whose train
ing they were brought to such high
point OF efficiency.
No event OF its kind in recent years
was so highly enjoyed, nor brought
more praise for all engaged in Its
rendition.

$4,000 DAMAGES
AWARDED COOPER
In His Suit for $4,000
for Broken Back.
JUROR TAINTED DURING TRIAL
Which Was a Dramatic One
And Earnestly Contested
All the Way.

One of the most dramatic damage
suits in the history of Ohio county
came to a close at noon Friday, when
the jury in the case of James Cooper
against the Williams Coal Company
returned verdict for the plaintiff
saying he had been damaged to the
amount of $4,000.
The case had been on trial since
Wednesday and every point was Wig
orously contested. There was an I'M
usual amount OF interest manifested
IN the case.
The suit was for $4,000 damages,
and was the result Of Cooper being
badly injured in the mines Of the
Williams Coal Company last Septem-
Der.
Cooper, who is twenty-eight years
of age, was a fine specimen of physi-
Cal manhood, weighing 40 pounds.
lie was engaged in operating one OF
the mining machines, when a guam
tity of slate and rock iii one of the
rooms Of the mines became loosened
and fell on him. His back was
broken and he was rendered helples
cripple for life. He has no use Of
his body below his waist. His lower
limbs are slowly decaying.
'rhe plaintiff was brought into the
court room on a cot. IL was from
this cot that he gave his testimony
to the jury. The dramatic feature
OF the trial was when a physician
was on the stand testifying as to
the nature of the young mans inju-
ries and telling of his present condi-
ton. Suddenly one OF the jurors stood
np in the jury box and staggered a
few feet and almost fell to the floor.
He had become sickened att he testi-
mony OF the horrible condition of
the plaintiff. A recess was taken and
it was some time before the juror had
sufficiently recovered for the physi-
clan to continue his testimony.
The defense attempted TO show
that the accident was not the result
o: negligence on the part of the coal
company but on the part Of the plain
tiff;
The case went to the jury at 10:30
o'clock Friday morning ard unani-
Nous verdict was reached at noon.
giving the plaintiff $4,000. The plain
tiff was represented by NJ. l.. Heav-
rim, Ernest Woodward and Ben d..
Ringo. Glenn & Simmerman and Ca, :
tain w. T. Ellis represented the de-
fandant company The closing argu-
ment for the defense was made by
Captain Ellis. Mr.. Ringo closed for
the plaintiff, speaking about an hour
arr. half.
Before court finally adjourned two
prisoners were sentenced to the
oenitentiary. They were Wade Gary,
convicted of the killing of Arthur
Johnson, and given three years in
tie penitentiary, and James john
son, found guilty Of rObbing gin
seLg bed and sentenced to fifteen
rGnths in the enitentiary.
The grand jury in its report con-
demned the present condition OF the
Ohio county Jail. Several prisoners
have recently made their escape from
the bastile.
There was, large docket confront
ing Judge Birkhead when Circuit
Court convened here on the 18th ult.,
but by incessant work the docket was
cleared using only ten days of the
twelve days allotted for the May
