HORN DINNER CALL
london's Oldest Custom Relic of
Crusaders.
Benchers, Barristers and Students
Summoned by Ancient Method
Recalls Days When Clocks
and Watches Were un-
known.

London.-Nowhere do old customs
cling more firmly than in the ancient
seat Of legal learning, the Middle
Temple, London, which still jealously
guards the traditions 1t has inherited.
To the present-day benchers, bar
risters and students are summoned to
dinner each evening during term time
by the blowing Of a horn--a custom
which has survived on this spot since
the romantic days of the crusaders.
Every evening at $3.50 during the three
weeks of the legal terms, a warder,
in gold-braided uniform, procures the
OK horn from the strong room of the
Middle Temple. and proceeding to the
famous fountain in Fountain court,
summons the members TO dinner by
blowing a blast on this primitive in
strument.
He then visits each court in turn,
according to ancient custom, and
many bencher throws up his window
to listen to the sound OF the winding
horn, which has been heard continu-
ously in these precincts since the time
when the Knights Templar established
themselves there in 1884.
It's use recalls the days when clocks
and watches were unknown, and the
voice Of the watchman, calling out
the time, was a familiar sound through
the night watches. Sun dials were
then the only guides the people pos
sessed as to the flight of time, and
of these more than one still survives,

NIXON IS HELD
 UNDER $500 BOND
MUST AWAIT INVESTIGATION eY GRAND JURY FOR ASSAULT
 WITH INTENT TO KILL.
Is the Visitor Who Struck His Room. mate With Heavy Iron Pipe and
 Almost Grained Him.

Percy Nixon, visitor. who at his down-'own icoming house last week struck Clarence Riekel. his roommate over the head and almost killed him was yesterday afternoon given a pre- liminary hearing iii Justice Gladson court and at tlse conclusion was held to await the action of the grand jury bond of $500 being required. 1 Biekel had a brother on the scene Who took an active interest in help ing the prosecution of the man who had attacked his brother, and Wixon also had relatives who came to his aid to try to help him out of the trou- hle.
 WiAon did not take the stand to testify in the ease
 Bickle went on the stand and posi- lively identified Wixon as his room. mate and as the man who he saw at his bedside when, after feeling a hand reach under this pillow where his money was kept, engaged in a scuffle. and was soon thereafter struck over the head with a heavy iron pipe.
 Bickle also testified to the extent Of his injuries, this evidence being borne out by Dr. Edwards, to whose sanitorium Bickel was taken for treatment after he received the in- | iuries.
 From the cross examination of the witnesses heard in behalf of the state it is apparent that the defense in tho case will be the self-defense theory in effect that the two men had fallef out over card game in which Wixor had been the winner, and that Bick le had attacked Vixen first to re cover the money, and that in defend ing himself from the attack Wixor had struck Bickle over the head with a stove poker which only incidentally was close at hand
 There was much detail in the case that was gone over carefully espe cialiy as to the location of the beds in the room, the location of the wood box, in which the stove poker was supposed to be situated, and other things. It is the theory of the state that Wixon prepared heavy iron pipe to injure Biekel wilfully, while the defense claims stove poker was used not in reconciliation, but pick ed up when he was getting tNe rorst of fight.
