One of the largest public meetings
ever held in Salisbury filled the Court

against the Bell Telephone Company,

franchise recently by the City Council
that did not control the rates to be
charged by the company-formerly Sic
for residential s25 for business phones
raised prices to s25 for residential
phones and $50 for business phones.
The meeting talked arbitration. but
Professor w. II. Holloway suggested
immediate action. Thomas II. Mitchell,
wealthy contractor, suggested new
campany, and, before the chairman
could call the meeting to order, $4,000
had been subscribed and many more
waited to sign the subscription paper.
A committee of five was appointed by
the chairman to obtain the signatures
of subscribers to discontinue the serv-
ices after July l, 1909, provided the
Bell Company does not enter into an
agreement with the city to restore the
old uniform rate, composed of Alexan-
der M. Jackson, DIR. John NJ. Toulson.
Elmer H. Walton. Rev. A. Cooper and
Thomas H. Mitchell. The Bell Com
pany now operates over 700 phones in
Salisbury and Wicomico county.
Many visitors from adjoining towns
on the peninsula were present. and. an
ticipating that the move will be made
upon them in the near future. were
anxious to learn the manner Of handling
the proposition here. II is the general
opinion that new telephone company
will be formed, covering the whole OF
the peninsula.

and of business-like character. He
impressed upon the grand jurors their
duty to bring before the Court all
violations Of law OF whatsoever charac-
ter. Judge Jones drew the following
grand jurors and Mr.. Levin S. Nelson,
of Bishopville, was named as foreman.

it is with this weeks Court proceedings.
Very few cases of Importance have been
tried; therefore, there is very little to
report.
The case of Edward Henry, colored,
against the w. B. Tilghman Company
an appeal from the magistrates court,
was decided against Henry and he will
have to pay $1,000 for fertilizer bought
of the Tilghman Company as well as the
costs If the case.
She suit of Wimbrough Brothers yer.
sus Campbell resulted in judgment foi
the plaintiff in the amount of $74.Sl.
The land case of Pusey versus Pope
was decided in favor of Pope.
Nat Burney, colored, came into Court
and pied guilty of man slaughter. Bur.
ney was implicated in the pleasant little
picnic at st. Pau's Church, colored,
near Stockton, one evening last May in
which two or three colored gentlemen
were pumped full of lead and gave up
the ghost. Burney skipped at the time
and was not tried at the last May term
of Court when his fellow rowdies were
found guilty. He was afterward captur-
ed and spent nearly year in Jail. He
was sentenced to eight years in the
penitentary for his part in the pleasant
proceedings at st. Paul's Church. The
Judge thought about eight years would
be the proper thing and therefore Nat
will go up the bay for that length of
time. and will be a good negro when he
comes out.
The land case of Aaron Jacobs versus
Levin w. Disharoon. which has been
the subject of general interest in and
around Stockton, was taken from the
jury and the Court gave verdict for
the defendant.

Among the Parties.

Yesterday there was put on record

trust agreement between Charles
Batre Of this city and Eugene NJ.
Sanger and Willard b. Hosmer of
Boston. In the agreement Mr.. Hos
mer is named as the trustee for con-
siderable mining property. the evident
desire of the parties to the transaction
being the formation of a sort of part
nership. The trustee is given the right
to dispose of the property of the trust
or to purchase other property with
money received from the sale Of trust
property on the authority of a ma
jority of the members. In case, how
ever, the minority objects to the SELL
ing or buying price of any of the
property, he is to be given thirty days
in which to, in the case of a sale, Sc
cure a higher bid than that being con-
sidered; or, in case of purchase, a
lower bid than that being considered.
The trustee is to be paid a salary of
$1,000 annually and his office expenses.
The trust property at present con-
sists of the Sanger placer claims, Nos.

apai and Maricopa counties, in all, l.

last named group. however. one-third
of the selling price is to be paid to

who owns a third interest.

the provision that in case one should
arise, it shall be settled by arbitration.

Liberty Of the Press Discussed in
Famous Trial.

Meeks. counsel for the defense in the
trial Of Cooper and Sharpe, today ex-
tended the unwritten law to cover
editors who attack private or public
men. You talk of the liberty of the
press" he exclaimed to the jury.
why. gentlemen. no man lives who
believes more firmly in the liberty of
the press than l do. But when man
in an editorial position turns the lib
erty of the press into license, and
to defame and defile you
and your family, what are you going
to do? The prosecution will tell you
that you have recourse in the courts.
Yes, and you get judgment for $4,000
against a man not worth the price
of a plug of tobacco. Is that salts
faction? Oh. gentlemen, 1 tell you
the streets of our city have run red
before with the blood of men who
improperly used other mems names in

IMPRISONED IN TUNNEL
Two Brothers in Hourly Peril of
Death.

Salt Lake. March 9.-Imprisoned in
the tunnel of st. Patrick's mines,
Hughes canyon, above Murray, with
all escapes cut off by a cavein
which closed the tunnel, Geo and
Jerry Patterson, brothers, are in
hourly peril of death, while so men
are working in what seems to be a
fruitless attempt to save them. A
small pipe, caught in the falling de-
bris, is supplying the men with what
little air they are getting, but this is
so bent and twisted it is impossible
to supply food through it. A mes
sage at midnight describes the posi-
ton of the men as extremely pre-
carious. The water has risen above
their knees. Its pressure on the
walls of the tunnel threatens to
bring down fall of earth on their
heads. The rescue party is within a
few feet of the prisoners, but has
found it necessary to procure timbers
and buttress up the passage already
opened before going further. This
may take hours. Danger from suf-
location has been averted by the use

caused by clogged up pores of the
