"a little nonsense now and then
ls relished by the Wisest men"

II 'twere not so, there would not have
been an audience of over 400 filling New
Hall to the limit Of its capacity, besides
some turned away from the doors, when
the mock trial was put on under the
auspices Of the Good Cheer Society Tues
day evening. For nonsense was what
they went to hear. Aud they heard It..
Moreover, the general verdict was that It
was better than they expected. The
affair was in charge Of Col. A. V. New
ton OF Worcester, Mass, who has put 1t
on many times. He acted as attorney
for the plaintiff, and kept things moving
In one way or another. Harold T. Briggs
was attorney for the defendant, and with
out special training for that line OF work,
and with a limited time for preparation,
ne did immense credit to himself. The
case was an action for breach of promise,
which gave chance for a lot Of fun, and
iun there was, jokes most OF them fairly
fresh, and local hits mostly new, being
almost continuous. And II finished uI
al 10 O'Clock, before the audience had
time to get tired. You wouldn't care tC
near u every week, but once in q while
such show goes very we'll. The Coco
Cheer Society gets $500 a. its share o
the proceeds.

Mill Protests

The principal protests against the
fill came from the American Mill Co.,
and the Aberdeen Mfg. Co., each of
which concerns occupy considerable
property in the fill district Their OBJ
lection was the heavy assessments
property in the district was already
under rendering the cost of the fill
at this time to be too burdensome.
+. p. Drake and G. +. Wilson, resi-
dents and property owners on East
Second street, advocated the fill now,
in order to take advantage of the Ia
coma Dredging Co.'S plant, which is
completing the west end fill, being on
the ground. W. w. Anstie. whose
property is between f and F streets,
requested that the district be extend
ed one block west, so as to go to F
street. Manager Hubert of the Am
erican Mill Co., later withdrew his OBJ
jections.
