severe cases, especially Bright's Disease.

'GUEST" AND "BOARDER"
DISTINCTION TIES JURY

HOT SPRINGS, Ark, Nov. 3O.-Because
a Hot Springs Jury could not differenti-
ate between a hotel guest" and a
"boarder," IL persons, principally travel
ing statesmen, must wait a few months
longer before IL is decided whether they
can secure reparation for personal ef-
fects destroyed In a recent hotel fire.
In the test case which ended in the
disagreement of the jury, yesterday, the
court held that a guest might re-
cover the value of the property. A
"boarder'' was not so privileged. To be
a guest one must be a transient, 1t was
contended.
But the distinction was too fine for
the jury and the cases were passed I'M
til the next court term.
