WHO PUT MOUSE IN STEW?
Is Question for Court to Settle. Com.
pany Says Patron Asking for $1O,-
600 Did 1t Himself.

NEW YORK.-''Who put mouse
into a plate of beef stew?' That is
the question that the supreme court
soon will be called upon to decide,
says the Tribune. Jerome Smith
brought a suit for $4,000 damages
some time ago against the Childs
Restaurant Company, in which he
claimed he was served with a plate
of beef stew containing a we'll cook
ed mouse.
The Childs company, through its
attorney, has filed an answer in which
it is alleged the plaintiff put the
mouse in the stew himself after eat
ing a part of the food. The answer is
as savory as was the complaint. 1t
says:
upon information and belief that
at about 9:15 p. m. on July 9 last
the plaintiff was served with a cup OF
coffee and beef stew, which stew was
properly prepared, cooked and sery-
ed, and which at the time of serving
did not contain any mouse or part
thereof; and that after plaintiff had
eaten a considerable portion of said
stew then plaintiff himself placed
the mouse complained of in the said
stew"

the property called at the house to
talk the matter over with the renter,
and during the conversation Surles
appeared on the scene. He immedi-

him alone only to find Surles coming
at him, it is stated, with an open

OUR FIRST COAL NINE.
Konwn in Richmond Basin of Vir-
ginia in 1900.

KOnwn in Richmond Basin of Vir-
ginia in 1900.
The presence of coal in the Rich
mond basin of Virginia was known
as far back as 1900, and mines were
opened and worked at as early date
as 1850. In 1889 shipments were
made to some of the northern states.
In 1922 the production amounted
to $4,000 short tons. For nearly a
century the Richmond basin main
tanned some prominence as coal
producer; but in 1882, when the Po-
cahontas district was opened, follow
ed shortly afterward by the develop
ment of the New River field in West
Virginia, the mines in Richmond ba-
sin were put at a disadvantage and
operations suspended.
During the last four years, how
ever, new life has been introduced
into the Richmond basin areas by
reopening of the old Clayton mines
in Henrico county. For many years
after the opening of the southwest
ern Virginia and the southern West
Virginia Goals the mines of the Rich
mond basin lay idle or were worked
only for a restricted local market.
The Richmond basin is the only area
producing free burning coal which
lies Immediately adjacent to the At
lantic seaboard
