PENDANT in Damage Case

Sioux Falls-Judge Garland has
filed with the clerk of the federal
courts an opinion, denying the motion
of the defendant, In the case Of the
United States Of America VS.. The
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy rail-
road, to strike from the complaint In
the action, paragraphs a and of the

with the words and figures "fortytwo
thousand, seven hundred, forty-three
dollars on last line OF page g."
Arguments upon this motion were
heard by the court on July 8, 1910.
This opinion of the court is deliver
ed In connection with the charge OF

ton railway, that On the It'll OF Sep
tember, 1909, sparks from locomo-
tive, running on the Galena branch
Of that railroad, through the national
forest reservation of the Black Hills
Of South Dakota, did set fire to dry
grass and fragments Of bark from
trees, which had been allowed to &C
cumulate along the right OF way Of
that road, through tho reserve. That
the defendant company had failed to
provide spark arresters for Its loco
motives. That the fire escaped from

of the damage done, the double dam

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL,
UNSETTLED OPINIONS
Over the Speculative Outiool-Deoided
Easing in Money Market Tone.

New York Nov. 1.-THE spotty and
uneven fluctuations of prices in today
stock market testified to the unsettled
and uncertain opinions held over the
speculative outlook. These doubts were
the effect of violent reversal of the de-
cline which occurred late yesterday
and which gave warming of the over
extension of the short interest. The
caution thus engendered in the bear
party protected the market from the
raiding tactics which had begun to
make rapid lnroads on prices before
they were checked. At the same time,
the rapid covering of short contracts
which went on in the course of yes
terday's late rally left that interest so
much reduced as to deprive the mar
Ect of a potential support in the neces-
s'fties of the shorts The demand out
side that element was not urgent or
widespread. The advances, which were
general at one time. were converted in
TO small declines at the last
In favor of the recovery was the de-
clded easing IN the tone Of the money
market, both on call and time. The
preliminary estimates of the week s
currency movement showed q. relaxa-
ton in the interior demand on New
York, which promised relief from The
drain on that account. A more effect

which has occurred since election day.

accompanied by q. goodly crowd Of
rooters who with go down with the

Academy football team will travel to
New London today for their clash with
the Buckley gridiron defenders. Since
the game last Saturday against Wind

ing scorin~ strength, Coach Aultman
has been at work steadily with the
eleven, polishing the machine to run
as smoothly Is possible for this i'm
portant game against Buckley, when
1t is up to the Academy to gain back
some of their prestige damaged by the
defeat given them by Buckley when
they played two weeks ago.
With one exception the academy
up as before. The change is in the
backfeld, from which right halfback
Standish has dropped out, Captain
Mccormick moving to that place and
Coughlin taking McCormiclls posi-
ton at fullback. With Roy Swan at
left half and Jimmy Murray at quar-
ter, the Academy back field looks good
and should give a satisfactory account
of itself The lnemeD from end to
end Will be the same that played
Buckley before and got the jump on
the New London line. They can be
depended upon to keen up the classy
record they have made all this sea-
son against opposing forwards. Ha-
vens and Kinney Will be the first
subs. The following viii be the Acad-
envy lineup:

The game is to be played at Can
nonball park this year instead of Arm
strong park Ample police protection
to keep the sridiron clear of the
crowd has been promised by the
Buckley authorities who have as
sured Principal Tirrell that they will
have six policemen on the field. AS
New London crowds have frequently
encroached on the field in former
games hampering the players on both
sides. this will be g big Improvement
