IN CIRCUIT COURT
Suit For Defamation of Character Up
and Spicy Testimony is Given.

The suit of Bob Hood VS.. Bob An
derson, for defamation of character
was called today in the circuit court
The bill alleges defamation Of char.
acter, it being charged that defendant
accused the plaintiff of stealing some
hogs. Damages in the sum of $500
was asked for. H. P. Fguers repre-
scented Mr. Hood and ]. c. VOORHEES,
was counsel for Mr.. Anderson. The
testimony was at times spicy, mad
was greatly enjoyed by the good-sized
audience in attendance. One char
acter witness put on by the defense to
prove the character of the defendant,
after swearing that he would not be-
lieve the defendant on oath, was asked
the following question on cross-exam-
nation:
WAS it twenty-five or thirty men
who swore here once that they would
not believe you on OATH"
1T wasn't either 1t wasn't more
than ten or twelve" was the reply.
This same witness created addi-
tional amusement by testifying that
he had no trouble with the wife of
the defendant. "Our wives had some
trouble" he said. This statement was
explained by saying that the witness
had acted in the family of the de-
PENDANT in the capacity of trained
nurse.
Other character witnesses were ex-
AHMED at the afternoon session, those
put on by the plaintiff vouching for
his character in the neighborhood
where he resides.
In the case of Tucker VS.. the In
dependent Phosphate Company, which
has been on trial since Monday in the
Circuit Court, the jury Thursday after
loon brought in a verdict awarding
he plaintiff $325,OO0.

Mr. Mickey was first nominated by the
republicans for governor In the spring Of
lsO2 lie was living in the privacy of his
banking and farming interests at OsceCla

lists nominated william II. Thompson of
Grand Island. The campaign was waged
with all the intensity OF party strife ON
both sides. The democrats had put up their
strongest foeman and intended to win the
battle, II possible. But it was not possible.

trouble with their employers, Governor
Mickey was importuned by certain ele-

Omaha and called mass meeting of bust
