GET NO DAMAGES
Suit for damages for Automobile
Collision, on Montesano Road,
Fails

MONTESANO, Dec. 15.-Refusing
to render a verdict in favor OF the
plaintiff because of the belief that
neither plaintiff nor defendant were
responsible for the accident, the jury
in the case of A. b. Holloway YER
sus B. P. Briscoe. favored the dis
missal of the case.
The suit was q most peculiar one,
and was brought by Holloway in an
effort to recover damages for $3.50
from Brisco as the result of an au-
tomobile accident which occurred on
the Montesano road some time ago.
The two men were driving in oppo-
site directions and tried to pass on
the county road. Both men feared
to attempt to pass and as a result
an collision occurred, and it is un.
derstood damage was done to both
machines.

had lived three years within the
county. They painted four steam
rollers with $50 worth of paint at a
cost of $3.50 when an able-bodied

paper napkins sheet rubber and

M'KENZIE Will
GET HEARING
Arrest Was Brought about
BY Merchant who Cashed
Worthless Check

X. j. Mckenzie, the young man who
was arrested last week in Seattle
and brought back to Aberdeen, charg-
ed with forging check for $500 and
the theft of large fish net, waived
a hearing this morning and was TAX
en- to MOntesano, to answer In the
Superior court. His mother arrived
last night from Spokane and had
sorrowful interview with her erring
son.
Credit for the arrest of Mckenzie
is due to c. H Houtari, the merchant
who cashed the forged check, and
who is out $780, After Chief of Po-
lice Templeman returned from Seat
tie, in the belief that Mckenzie and
the young woman who accompanied
him had crossed the line to British.
Columbia, Mr.. Houtari learned that
the woman had returned to Aberdeen
and felt convinced that Mckenzie was
still in Seattle. He went to that city
on Saturday, and securing the aid of
the police, he and a plain clothes
man made a tour of the hotels, seek
ing signature in the handwriting of
Mckenzie, sample of which he had
with him in the forged check.
The search Saturday afternoon and
night, located his man and the wo-
man at the Savoy hotel, but they had
left couple of days before, leaving
suit case behind. Resuming the
search of hotels Sunday morning,
they located their man att he Mel
son hotel where he was still stop
ping, and the arrest was easy. Nc
Kenzie was out at this time, but
wait of four hours brought him in,
to be taken in charge by the po-
lice.

Martin ChuzzleWit" is acknowI- edged by all yersed in literature to be the greatest from the pen of the immortal Charles Dickens. This great throbhing, breathing. human character portrayal has been faithfuI. iy interpreted in motion pictures by the Edison Company.
 The leading characters in this great masterpiece viyidly depict the social and political conditions of to- day. We have men of ability at this moment aspiring to high places in the public Sery ice, yet who are so blinded by ardent seifshness that they seem to have lost sight of the fact that power can only come from those entitled 10 confer 1t. and is not at all of the individual, but of the people. Ordinary people are better judges of human nature than those they elevate to office for the perform ance ot political service.
 Dickens seems to have shared Lin cOln's opinion that Plain people must be the best-God made so many of them"
 The whole trend of this novel is to show the improved results sob- tained by binding individuals and groups in lasting ties of sympathy to the betterment of the whole social structure, and nowhere among his masterpieces can be found a broader or more progressive view
