Company, However, Had
Asked for $4,000.
EXCEPTIONS ARE TAKEN
ATTORNEYS FOR THE PLAINTIFF
QUESTION COURTS DECISION,
SAYING THAT THEY COULD
NOT OBTAIN EVIDENCE.
EXCEPTIONS ARE TAKEN

Judgment against the defendant was
rendered in the case Of the Standard
Accident Insurance company against
Edwin M. Campfield in the Wayne cir
cult court today. The plaintiff sued
for $4,000 and judgment was render
ed for @7O7.73. Interest is allowed
from March of last year. Campfield
admitted his Indebtedness for the
amount awarded. The court said the
plaintiff deserved more damages but
the necessary evidence to establish
the claim was not present.
The insurance company was repre-
scented by Shiveley & Shiveley. Char.
les Shiveley took exceptions to the
courts decision. He declared the best
evidence obtainable had been intro
duced. He said the nlaintiff could not
obtain possession of the defendants
books and there was no other record.
Shiveley maintained Campfield claim
ed to him the books had been taken
away from him when his contract
with the state for the erection of the
Madison insane hospital was forfeited.
The suit was the outgrowth of q
policy insuring the defendant against
liability in case Of accident to EN-.
ployes engaged in the construction of
the buildings at Madison and also
buildings at Ann Arbor. Mich. for
(which Campfield was the contractor.

TENNIS POPULAR
IN RICHMOND NOW
Many Courts Are Being Con-

The popularity of tennis this year
will far outstrip that Of past seasons.
Private courts are being prepared In
all parts of the city. Probably the
most pretentious plans are being made
at Twenty-second and South A streets
where the City Association has en-
gagged half acre on which to con.
struct courts. The space has been
fenced in and it is probable that elec-
trio lights will be installed in order
that games may be played in the eve.
ming.
At the play grounds the four courts
are occupied all the time. two of them
by the girls of the Garfield and high
schools. and the other two by the boys
of these two schools. The Garfield
pupils have arranged contests in dou.
bles and singles. Other teams will
hold tournaments on these courts
later in the season.

RECORD OF WEEK. -e.

Approximately three inches OF rain
fell since Saturday afternoon, accord
ing to the records kept by Walter Vos-
sler, government meteorological observ-
er located at the pumping station. east
of the city. The last time the rainfall
was measured was Sunday at midnight
when two and six-hundredths inches
were reported. AS it rained all last
night and little today, it is probable
the total amount will reach three
inhces.
Contrary to expectations the river
showed little indications that hard
rain had been experienced. 1t rose
only a few inches and has been higher
two or three times before this year.
The rain will do a vast amount OF
good in the rural communities, as it
thoroughly soaked the ground.
Weekly Record Broken.
All weekly records of the year have

vossler's report, the rainfall totaled
forty-eight hundredths inches. On
Monday, election day, the hardest rain
Of the week was experienced, thirty-six
hundredths inches falling. The rain

not included in the weekly report.
The variation of the temperature
from rather chilly weather at the first
part Of the week to summer weather
in the last part is shown by the re.

belief the bridge trust existed and
that the state was divided into dis.
