In the circuit court in Farming
ton last Friday a jury brought in a
verdict for the defendant in the
suit of John Mayes, the livery
man, against Sheriff Marshall for
$500 damages. Last September
the defendant hired a team from
Mayes to drive to Pennington.
Shortly after the team was re-
turned to the stable that night one
of the horses died. Mayes brought
suit for 5000 alleging the horses
death was due to over.driving.
At the October term of the Iron
county circuit court Mayes took a
change of venue to st. Francois
county. Some fifteen or twenty
witnesses were examined, and the
court was about a half day trying
the case. The jury promptly
brought in a verdict for the de-
PENDANT. The costs in the case
are more than $3.50.
Eight faithful, competent, con-
fdent and hopeful riders mounted
the G. o. P. elephant here this
week to make a dashing charge
on the p~ost-ofice vacancy in
March. The elephant was labeled

carried a waving "Standpat' ban
ner on the other. With whip in
each hand and spur on each heel
the husky riders are vigorously
prodding the animal along. 1t
will reach the front door of the
post Office in due time, when the
eight riders will simultaneously
dismount, walk in abreast to the
outside door and smilingly, pleas
antly and ex~pectantly knock for
admission. But only one can be
admitted, Hon. Polite Elvins
carries the key to the situation
and will be in charge of the door.
Who will be admitted?-BismGrck

The damage case of the Sanders
heirs vs.. the Clark & Gay Manu-
featuring Company was tried in
the circuit court Tuesday and re-
suited in a verdict for the plain
tiffs for the amount sued for
$1,000. The defendant company
operated a hub factory at Filing
ton for several years, and while
assisting in the operation of the
factory in 1909, E. j. Sanders, one
of the employees, and father of
the plaintiffs, was alleged to have
been hit on the head by a block of
wood which was hurled from one
of the machines with great
violence, causing death soon
thereafter, for whose death they
sued to recover damages in the
amount stated above. An appeal
was taken to the Court of Appeals.
Senator Buford and Attorney A.
T. Brewster represented the plain
tiffs and Attorney E. A. Rozier
appeared for the defendant COM

Judge Huck's early response to
the demand of Lead Belt working
men for a grand jury to investigate
mining conditions deserves COM
mendation. Within twenty-fou1
hours after the petitions had been
fled, the order for the calling of
the special grand jury had been
made by Judge Huck. This grand
jury was drawn by the county
court on Monday and will begin
it's sittings IN next Monday. 1t
will remain in session until con-
ditions can be properly investi-
gated, which should not require a
long time. 1t now behooves the
working men and their leaders,
who we're instrumental in having
the grand jury called to present
their facts. The allegations set
out in the petitions must be sub
stantiated in order that labor in
the Lead Belt may not be dis
credited. The Western Fedora
ton locals must bring forth wit
nesses to prove the alleged VIOLA
tons of the eight-hour, Sunday
and meal-hour statutes .-Lead Bel
