Fourteen thousand dollar Judgment
is asked by John Caylor against the

was filed in the circuit court this
morning on a change of venue from
Randolph county
1t is averred in the complaint that
the plaintiff deposited large sums of
money with the defendant corporation
the total amount aggregating $780,
eco. He opened up his account with
the banking institution in 1901 and
closed it in November, 1903. During
this time the plaintiff AYERS that he
would borrow large amounts.
In strengthening up the accounts the
plaintiff AYERS that he received $4,000
over which there was a contention.
Later, he alleges, he found he was en-
titled to $4,000 in addition to the
above amount. In substantiation of
this claim it is included in the COM
plant, that in keeping of said account
the said defendant raised the amount
Of one check to a sum of $2j in excess

set for trial today was continued until

When the case was called for trial
this morning, the affidavit was read
and the defense sprung a surprise on
the prosecution by filing a plea Of

against Mrs. Hazlitt was filed while
the grand jury was in session, thus
violating the technicalities of the law
in this respect. The grand jury

township school and Harold F1lby, Of
Milton, school boy. Neither of the
two accidents will prove serious, al
though young F1lby is the more SER
iously injured. and may be laid up
for several days.
Fate played a particularly unkind
game on young Filby. While he is
nursing his gunshot wound he will
also have an opportunity for healing
his right arm, which was broken be-
low the elbow, while wrestling, few
days before the hunting accident.
Since breaking his arm, young Filby
has not been attending school but
Wednesday, in company with Will
Philipott and Frank Brumfield, he OPP

south of Milton, where they expected
to spend a few days hunting and fish

three arose and started off in pursuit
of a crow. While crossing a field,

How Baker Was Hurt.
Mr. Baker, accompanied by Will

While crossing a field the explosion
of shot gun was heard in the dis

1t was found that one of the birdshot
had struck him just above the left
eye, after passing through his derby
hat, and lodged in the skin. The shot
was extracted by Mr.. Brown. The
wound bled profusely and swelled to
great size rapidly. However, he was
not badly injured.

These important changes are mainly
the result of experience gained during

the government $1,500,O00 above what
would have been the cost of mainte-
nance and operation had the ships re-

The most conspicuous change which
the civilian observer will recognize is
In the color Of the vessels. The hull,

out by the removal of all the brass fit

is justified not only as a means Of talk
