LAURA CRAMER SUES
DR.. HURD FOR ASSAULT
Charges That He Used vio-
Ience to Keep Her From
Bedside of His Relative.

A new chapter in the Hurd-Cramer
spritualistic medium proceedings, to re-
cover $4,000 said to have been secured
by Mrs. Laura r. Cramer from Fenton
J. Hurd, eighty-nine years old, was writ
ten today when Mrs. Cramer, assuming
the role of plaintiff, brought suit at law
to recover $4,000 damages from DIR. Lee
M. Hurd of Greenwich, Conn, for alleged
assault
DR.. Hurd is in town to testify as wit
ness before the examiner in the case. he
is conservator of the estate of his grand
father, Fenton j. Hurd, and is plaintiff
in the original case against Mrs. Cramer.
Assault at Grandfather's Bedside.
The assault is alleged to have occur
red August II in Essex county, n. Y,
near Whallensburg, when the deposition
of the oceogenarian was taken at the
home of his son. Mrs. Cramer, through
Attorneys Birney & Woodland and w. b..
Lester, alleges that DR.. Hurd seized her
and with great force and violence shook
and pulled her about, decorating ana
bruising her left arm and right side.
For four weeks, Mrs. Cramer says, she
suffered great pain as result OF the al
legged assault and was prevented from
transacting her business affairs. She de-
clares she spent as much as $40 in at
tempting to be cured Of the bruises and
the resulting inconvenience.
The story of the alleged assault was
told the court a few weeks ago in an am
davit of Attorney \. a. Birney, who COM
planned of the discourtesy shown him and
his client at Whallonsburg. He said that,
as Mrs Cramer approached the bed on
which lay the aged Fenton ]. Hurd, to
greet him, she was seized by DR.. Hurd:
who threw her against the footboard of
the bed, injuring her.
Counsel for DIR. Hurd admit that he
removed Mrs. Cramer from the bedside.
He used only necessary force, 1t Is de-
clared,

OF HIGHEST GRADE
Cafe RepubIique Classes With
the Very Best.
WAS OPENED LAST NIGHT
Brilliant Effects Produced by
Electric Lights and Flowers.
OVER HUNDRED GUESTS PRESE
Description of Establishment Lo-
Gated at Corner Of 18th and
F Streets.
OVER HUNDRED GUESTS PREsE

Like the cultured capitals of Europe
che capital of the United States of Amer
lea now has a cafe which, it Is claimed, Is
the acme of artistic establishment and OF
cosmopolitan cuisine. 1t is the Cafe Re
publique, at the corner of 18th and
streets.
In its palm garden dining room, twink
ling in the brilliancy of myriad of cleo
trio bulbs, scented with the aroma OF
many blossoms, filled with the strains OF
a classic sonata, were gathered last night
a hundred or more of Washingten's prom
inent citizens-officials of the United
States and the District governments, and
business and professional men who help
to make Washington the thriving city il
is. To them was given the honor of first
enjoying the luxury of cafe furnishing
and cuisine which characterizes the Cafe
Republique. It's formal opening to the
public followed today.
Work of the Artisans.
For months artisans of the woodwork
ing, metal-turning, mosaic-tiling and al
lied crafts have been at work at the
southeast corner of 18th and F streets
northwest: for months. skilled workmeH
in factories in many parts of the United
States have been bending their endeavors
to the creation of novel ornamental fix
lures and furnishings in the way of
chairs, tables, linen, china, silverware
and other accessories used for the de-
light of diners that want the best, and
for months before any of these agencies
were at work architects and designers
were studying the most artistic effects in
the famous cafes of New York, Philadel-
phfa, London, Paris and other European
capitals, and taking their best ideas to
blend in supreme effort to make the
Cafe Republique distinctive and unlike
any of them, and yet, if possible, more
artistic. The results are the cause of
many compliments to the architectural
skill and workmanship of those who con-
structed the Cafe Republique.
One is favorably impressed by the en-
bellishments of the Cafe RepubliQue as he
approaches it. Around the outside, on
both the + street and 15th street fronts,
is canopy Of wrought iron and glass,
it's delicate shades of green blending
with the colors used on the outside walls
Along the street side Is a terraced eff
feet, inspired by the French cafes, and
carried out by the use of natural ever
greens. On the 18th street side the i'm
posing feature is a pair OF Egyptian
like monoliths OF concrete embellished
with cOlored pastels and topped with
bronze lamps that fit in the occidental
surroundings. Between them one enters
the rathskeller, or. as it is to be called,
the grotto.

Several sanctimonious citi-

Several sanctimonious citi-
zens of Mo Valley were startled
Saturday evening ahout $50 by
hearing a terrible noise issuing
from the interior of z. e. Rob-
insons Livery Stable. Bif-
Bang Ouch! thud, it sounded
somewhat like Jim Jeffries was
practicing on one of bis train
ers or that 4 draft horse was
kicking the partitions out of
the barn. Night Marshal
johnson was notified and upon
investigation found that
four or five men were engaged
in the pleasant pastime of
knocking each other down. The
two that seemed to be the most
interested were taken before
Mayor Amen and were given a
hearing. 1t seems that Clint
Weatherly. who was just leav-
ing for home with two friends
mistook Grove HOLSTER for
someone else and hit him q
crack on the left eye as he was
passing near the buggy. Did
you ever feed an elephant
chewing tobacco or touch off a
stick of dynamite? Well the
fight started and from the IN
formation received and the
looks of both, Mr.. Weatherly
got the worst Of it. HOLSTER
was dismissed as there wasn't
any charge against him, any
one would have to either fight
or run in the sai,.a circun1stan-
ces. Weatherly vas fined ten
dollars and costs. The Mayor
got about as Wa 4 as the fight
ers. When he came out in
front of the bank the crowd
was so thick that women had
to so out into the road to get
by. He told the crowd repeat
eddy to make room and when
they didn't, he moved several
of them by force. That's what
the Mayor is for, to make order
and lookout to the hest of his
ability for the citizens and
that's exactly what he did.
