VERM|L|ON TAKES
CASE FROM JURY
JUDGE GIVES VERDICT TO BANK
IN FAIRFIELD NATIONAL
VS.. TiLLOTSON.

Fairfield, April 21.-Judge G. w.
Vermilion took the case of the Fair
field National bank VS.. Harry R. Til
lotson ct al of Stockport out of the
hands of the jury Tuesday afternoon
at Sis o'clock and gave the verdict to
the Fairfield National bank. The sum
The case was somewhat complicated
because of the fact that Tillotson had
given the bank a note for $1,000 and
had also overdrawn his account by
about $3.50 at the time of the closing
of the Fairfield Daily and Weekly
Tribune plant, of which he was the
editor and publisher. At the time OF
his preliminary hearing Messrs.
Frank Rhynas and A. r. Hiatt, prom.
inent Stockport citizens, signed BOND
for Tillotson and 1t is alleged they
understood the same to be only
a bond for his appearance In the DIS
trict court. whereas the bond proves
to be for the settlement of this
amount. Judge Vermilion held that
the same held good against these two
men and Tillotson.
The two criminal cases against I'll.
.lotson. one for selling mortgaged
property and the other for obtaining
money under false pretenses, were on
the docket for Wednesday, April FL,
but were postponed until next Mon
day.
The case Tuesday was attended py
a number of Stockport people as well
as number of Fairfield people. MI.
and Mrs. Tillotson resided here Tor
several months last fall while engag-
ed in editing the Fairfield Tribune.

The Meeting.
Under the sun, under the starry
nights fremont, with his burden, jour
neyed toward the north. The halts
were distasteful to him, and although
he was forced to rest he would rather
have been cursed with sleeplessness
and have journeyed on and on. He
rode his camel like Bedouin; he grew
brown like the Bedouins and under the
hot breezes. swaying on his desert
ship, he sank into dreamy, moody and
melancholy reveries, like the wander
ing men of the Sahara, and felt him.

were.

Abou said to him hundred times, and
fremont wondered: "Will Charles live
to see Algiers?"
Sabron journeyeds in q litter carried
between six mules. and they travelled
slowly, slowly. fremont rode by the
sick mans side day after day. Not
once did the soldier for any length OF
time regain his reason. He would pass
from coma to delirium. and many
times fremont thought he had ceased
to breathe. Slender, emaciated under
his covers, Sabron lay like the image

struck her. She sat turning her col
Teaspoon between her fingers, her
eyes downcast. She had verv little
to tell She might never have any
more to tell. Yet this was her love
story. But the presence Of Sabron
was SO real. and she saw his eyes
clearly looking upon her as she had
seen them often; heard the sound OF
his voice that meant but one thing
and the words of his letter came back
to her. She remembered her letter
to him, rescued from the field where
he had fallen. She raised her eyes to
the Comtesse de la Maine. and there
was an appeal in them.
The Frenchwoman leaned over and
kissed Julia. She asked nothing more.
She had not learned her lessons in
discretion to no purpose.
At night they sat out in the moon
light, white as day, and the radiance
over the sands was like the snow
flowers. Wrapped in their warm COW
erings, Julia and Therese de la Maine
lay on the rugs before the door Of
their tent, and above their heads
shone the stars so low that it seemed
as though their hands could snatch
them from the sky. At little dis
lance their servants sat around the
dying fire, and there came to them the
plaintive song of Azrael, as he led
their singing:

Can a whirlwind replace the sand after 1t
