ceived that said message had not beer delivered promptly. The evidence showed that Water Valley is town of $500 or 4,000 inhabitants, and that the distance between it and Gordon's residence could have been travelled by horse in three hours.
 "This court is of the opinion that the jury were justified in finding that sufficient care was not exercised by the agent at Water Valley to have the message promptly forwarded, and that therefore the telegraph company is liable in damages for the mental anguish caused to Mr. Gordon and also to MT Griffin.
 Several other assignments of error are discussed, but the only other point of interest is the contention that the tort, having occurred in the state of Mississippi, the recovery would be governed by the laws of that state which do not allow damages for men tai anguish. This court holds that the contract was made in this state, and that therefore the action would be based on the laws of this state, and not upon the laws of another state.

CRIFFIN'S DAMAGE
 SUIT IS AFFIRMED

The suit of Ben L. Griffin and A. A. Gordon against the Western Union Telegraph Company was decided by the Supreme Court yesterday, the judgment of he lower court awarding $200 damages to each of the defend ants being affirmed. The opinion in the case, which was delivered by Mr. Justice Battle, is as follows:
 ''On Sunday, March 24, 1907, Mrs. Genie Griffin, wife of Ben L. Griffin and daughter of A. A. Gordon, died at her home in Conway. Mr. Gordon lived at Banner, Miss, small place about IS or 20 miles from Water Valley, Miss. A telegram was at once filed with the telegraph company, directed to Mr. Gordon at Banner, via Water Valley. The message had to be sent to Water Valley and then forwarded by special messenger. This was ex- plained to the company's agent at Con- way when said message was filed for transmission, as well as the nature of it's contents and purpose. The mes sage read as follows: Gene died very suddenly at l p. m. today; come at once; answer my expense Mr. Griffin requested that special mes senger be procured at Water Valley to carry the message to it's destination at the earliest possible moment, in or der that he might ascertain whether or not Mir. Gordon would be able to be present at the funeral; and he offered to pay the expense of such special mes senger The agent agreed to have said message thus transported when he accepted the message.
 "The agent at Water Valley testified that when the message was received she asked several parties to deliver said message, without success and that she then placed the message in the postoffice, and it did not reach it's destination for several days, and Mrs. Griffin's body was buried in the mean time, after information had been re-

his fists. Then he spoke slowly:

Coffee and pistols for two muttered studey

Arthur Grscom's rage dubbed up in his brain,

CHAPTER II.
The Open Door.

n ILBERT Rodman strolled westward along Pacific
- Avenue with cigar alght and mind at ease. The
night mild, and the wind that sweeps
chill through the streets of San Francisco for
three hundred nights of the year had forgotten to
blow Midnight had long passed. for the last car
had gone before Rodman stepped out of the club
room, and the unwonted clemency of the air had
lured him to walk to his home. So soothed by
good cigar and clear conscience, he had left the
downtown district, where echoes of the right-fe
of the city still fingered, and paced his homeward
way through the deserted streets of the Western
Addition
The stars cleaned through the haze with friend
ly luster. The street lamps stretched in double
into the dim distance with companionable
illumination, and eye and testified that
in solitude No figure moved along the vista Of
the avenue before him. No sound except his
footballs came to his ear, and the silence called
up some whimsical remembrance of the fairy story
of the City OF the Sleeping Princess. 1t was an
unreal San Francisco, and he tried to entertain
himself with the fancy that some sudden vista
ton of the powers of evil had swept life from the
city, and left him sole survivor of the great army
that but few hours ago had filled it's streets.
Then he dismissed the thought that failed
to please; but it was not to be lightly put away,
and it turned his imagination to picturing the
tragedies that might lie behind the silence and
darkness of the house fronts that lined the
in mute testimony to the wealth and ostentation
of their owners To many of them he could give
name; at many of the doors he had been
ceived with welcome; yet he thought with smile
of the futty of fame; for here among the houses
that gave the outward proofs of achievement
wealth and self-sutficiency, there were scores
whose owners were unknown to him the long
roll of distinguished citizens who had been as
sured of immortality kings of Assyria and
mayors of ancient Memphis.
AS he exercised his memory by calling the roll
of jewellers in the houses he could name, he sud
denly came to halt before handsome mansion.
It's wide frontage announced that its owner a
person of wealth. the elegance of it's design testi-
fed that it's owner person of taste. But
in that district of elegant homes, it neither
the cost nor the beauty of the house that brought
Gilbert Rodman to stand. He had halted by an
instructive feeling that something amiss with
it,

LODGING HOUSE
PLANNED FOR ARMY
Captain jenkins Believes This Fca-
ture Is an immediate Necessity
for Army Quarters.

Recognizing changing conditions
in North Yakima, Capt. jenkins of
the Salvation Army has decided on
another feature to his proposed new
building. preparatory work in con-
nection with which will soon be be-
gun. He has decided to add 100
rooms for lodgings to be let to men
who have aspirations to avoid the
cheap lodging houses, which are now
the only places open to men of small
means.
Capt. jenkins says that this town
is great and growing labor center,
that the number of homeless men
here of the type who seek quarters
in a cheap lodging is large and in
creasing Among these, he says, are
many who would, il the opportunity
offered, avail themselves of such
rooms as he will have and thus avoid
less desira BILE places which, in many
instances, they are obliged to fire.

He thinks he can rent rooms at
$1.00 to 81. so per week to many pat
rons, make the conditions as to clean
Illness and quiet nearly ideal, and
otherwise make that phase of his
work decided practical advantage
to the city and its residents.

ELECTRIC ROAD
FOR FRUIT DISTRICT
TOppcnish to BE Observation-Disclosures
of New Line Would Increase Top
penish Shipments Three Fold.


TOPPENISH, March 9.-Definite
steps for the building of an electric
line with Toppenish as center were
taken at the meeting of the CONNER
cial clubs of the Yakima valley in
this city Monday. The proposed line
will run from Toppenish to Zillah
and Parker Bottom, traversing a rich
fruit and produce district, and maxi
ing Toppenish one of the greatest
produce shipping centers in the state
The fruit and produce of the adjacent
fruit and produce country would be
shipped to this place by electricity,
and then by rail to other points.
The statement is made that Top
penish is the largest produce shipping
point on the Northern Pacific rail-
road. The electric line as proposed
would treble the shipments, and aid
in the settlement of tie rich country.
Preliminary work is expected to be
started soon and be completed in
time for the fruit rush of 1910. The
scheme is partially backed by local
capital.
