prejudice. and the testimony does not sat
isfy us that the verdict is clearly wrong.
The entry will be motion overruled.

A case III which two young women
from the Nickeiy & Hill Publishing
House and two diamond rings were the
central figures was heard Wednesday
afternoon by Judge Lancaster of the
municipal court, or rather was begun in
his court for during the progress of the
same it developed that the amount in
volved carried the case beyond the iuris-
diction of the municipal court and it
was accordingly referred to a higher
tribunal for final settlement The case
grew out of the fact that one of the
girls, Gracia Paulson, loaned the other
girl. Daisy Thurley two of her diamond
rings to wear to a wedding in Lewiston,
and that when Daisy returned the rings
to their owner one of them was stone
less. 1t was on account of the missing

explained to her that conversion was
another name for larceny, she entered

from Lewiston. Sunday night, but that
she did not return until the following
Monday. and before starting for home
she notified the complainant htat she
had lost the stone out of one of the
rings. The complainant said that when

an expert nature and dealing principally
with the condition Of the ring from
which the stone was claimed by the re-
spondent to have been lost. Mr. Woods

FOR THE MINSTRELS
Harold Partridge Will Present His
New and Original Sketch.

Harold Partridge, one of Augusta S
leading comedians since his High school
days and famous for his entertaining and
successful histrionic efforts in King
Pepper" King Jollity' and a score of
other Augusta entertainments, has just
completed an original vaudeville sketch
This he will produce for the first time
Monday evening, April ), in the olio of
the MINISTRIES and dance for the benent
of the Augusta General hospital.
Mr.. Partridge calls this sketch "A Fool
Aboard a Ford, and not content with
writing the sketch and arranging the nlu-
sic he will play it himself, thus following
in the footsteps of more celebrated
though hardly more talented author-act-
ors-George Conan and Francis Wilson
The star musical number of the skit will
be a song entitled THE Little Ford Ram
bled Right Along''-words by Mr. Par
fridge, music borrowed for the occasion
from sources which are not announced
but may be suspected.
The well-founded reputation of Mr.. Par
fridge for side-splitting work-a reputa-
ton not confined by any means to Au-
gusta, for he has transformed through
most of the Immediately surrounding
country with amazing success-makes it
certain that this sketch will be on the
high plane of his former tramp STUFF
and all-around comedy work.
The ticket sale is progressing with
amazing success and the solicitors, under
the direction of Col. L. L. Cooper are
rolling up a big total of cash. Reserved
seats can be obtained at Bither's drug
store after Monday morning at 9 o'clock.
