many years at Cadet, is the oldest
working agent on the l. M. r. R.,

been at the telegraph keys for
several years on account of i'm

James Orchard, former state
senator from this district and now
an attorney at Eminence, lost his
suit against the Frisco Railroad
in the Texas county circuit court
at Houston last week. Mr.. Orchard
left West Plains in January, 1904,
to become district attorney for the
Frisco Railroad in Southeast Mis-
souri, and located at Poplar Bluff
In March, 1909, there was a re-
organization of the legal depart
ment of the Frisco and Mr.. Or
chard's service was dispensed
with. He filed suit for ten months
salary, claiming that he was hired
by the year, and not by the month.
The railroad company contended
that Mr.. Orchards service could
be dispensed with at any time and
he had a similar privilege and
could quit the railroad service a
his pleasure. Judge Woodside
who tried the case, said the rail.
road company was right in its
contention, and Mr.. Orchard lost
the suit.-West Plains Gazette.
