Marking Status of Wrecks.

There is an odd provision in the
English law on wrecks 1t used to be
that wrecks, like pretty nearly every
thing else, belonged to the king. Some
times, II 2 vessel were only, partly
wrecked and 1t could be raised, an
owner was averse to surrendering It;
but 1t was generally seized for the
king In accordance with the law, until
the question came UP as to just what
was wreck. It was generally admit
ted that when all hands were lost. that
was wreck; but as they wanted to
get as narrow definition as they
could. they got parliament to establish
this law, that in future nothing shall
be considered wreck out of which
a cat or dog escapes alive; and from
that time until the present day no YES
sci coasts about England without
Carrying cat or dog.

Grateful for an opportunity to rest
my cramped limbs, | scrambled from
the chair, then stood transfixed with
fear and terror. Coming over the
crest Of the mountain were hundreds
of torches and lanterns. Family from
far away came strange, wild voices,
shouting and screaming. Louder, loud
er swelled the weird, fantistic noise,
and drums, bells and gongs could be
heard.
Turning to the men, cried, What
is this?" and pointed to the strange
thing now descending quickly toward
US. The men in an excited way talked
all together I could see that It was
something very unusual and they
seemed to be very much frightened.
My Christian boy, Ke Hal. came to
me to keep me from being alarmed.
He carefully explained, but using
] listened, more mytifled than ever;
whether 1t were a mob or an upris-
ing l did not know. He saw that did
not understand, and SO at great length
and with many more strange words,
not in my vocabulary, he tried to en-
tighten my bewildered mind.
Nearer came the menacing mob and
above the changing Of brass, the yell

roar. Alone. at midnight, on the
dark mountain pass, l stood and faced

something terrifying and awful. My
heart was filled with horror and
strange, unutterable longing for my
homeland and mother swept over my
heart. Had my time come to go? 1t
might indeed be 80.
With faltering voice insisted
again: Cant you tell me in few
words what 1t is? l will not fear"
This time the boy understood what 1t
was that l needed, and made reply:
"Yes; It is nobleman who has de-
parted from this world" 1t was a
great funeral, nothing more. Midnight
is the favorite time for the procession
to the grave. The darkness will help
keep away the evil spirits, SO they
think; the bells and drums are used
also to frighten away the malign de-
mons by the noise. The loud wailing
and piercing cries were from the
large crowd of hired mourners.-El-

ATTORNEY MUST REFUND
$500 TO FORMER CLIENT
Jury in Superior Court Decides
Lawyers Charges ExoTbitant

A jury in Judge McCormick's depart
ment of the superior court yesterday
decided that Frank w. Burnett, an at
torney, must refund ]. S, Johnston, a
former client, $500 of the $S66.59 for
which Johnston brought suit.
Johnston told the court that several
years ago he employed Burnett to col
lect for him three notes for $4,000 each,
making a total of $4,000. In the SUI
perior court, where Burnett brought
suit, a judgment for the full amount
was obtained in about forty minutes.
Then the validity of the notes was
attacked, a new trial was granted and
the case finally was taken to the SUI
preme court, where the judgment of
the lower court was confirmed. By
that time, taking the interest into con-
the amount due Johnson was
$1,000. OF this amount, according to
Johnston, Burnett kept S1176.59 for his
fees. Johnston, claiming that Burnett
had agreed to take the case for 1910,
filed suit for the difference,
sS6659. The jury gave Johnson judg-
ment for $500.

WOMAN is GRANTED NEW
TRIAL TO RECOVER HOME
Claims Young Man CaioIed Her
Into Deciding Him Property

Judge Monroe of the superior court
yesterday granted a new trial in the
case of Mrs. Mary Covert, II years
old, against Stacy Lamb, young man
who a year ago won a suit by which
the woman had sought to recover from
him her home, valued at $500, which
she alleged he cajoled her into deciding
to him.
Afidavits were presented to Judge
Monroe to the effects that the plaintiff
was in a weak and worn condition at
the time of the trial last year by rea-
son of her having been in constant at
tendance for weeks at the bedside of
her sick mother, and therefore could
not present as good a case as she now
thinks she will be able to do.
Mrs. Covert declares that Lamb
called her mother" and applied many
other endearing terms to her until he
persuaded her to deed him her home
for which he gave her, she ayers, only
worthless stock.
