WEISS-LOVES suit
Will BEGIN TODAY

The jury that will try the damage
suit of Charles Loves against Her
man J. Weiss was selected yesterday
in the Common Pleas Court. The case
is being tried before Special Judge A.
P. Stewart. Loves is asking $1,000
damages for the injuries he suffered
in an encounter with the defendant at
the Brick Schoolhouse, north of the
Cape, last September.
A large crowd thronged the court
room yesterday afternoon, there being
80 witnesses for both the defense and
the plaintiff. Most OF the witnesses
are prominent farmers who live in the
northern section of the county. The
fight took place at meeting of a
mutual telephone company, formed by
farmers some years ago. An argu
ment arose between Weiss and Loves,
and it is charged in the petition, that
Weiss knocked Loves down and in
jured his shoulder, and thereby MAIN
ing him for life. The defendant and
the plaintiff are said to be first cousins.
Weiss and Loves are stockholders
of this rural telephone company, and
both are also directors. It is said that
they had previous trouble over the
telephone and that the encounter in
the schoolhouse was the climax of this
feud. Efforts were made to settle the
between the two outside
of court, but the peacemakers were
not successful, inasmuch as the suit
had already been filed before ar effort
was made to settle the matter between
the two combatants.
1t is expected that this trial will
consume at least three days. The hear. |
ing of the testimony will be begun this |
morning.

ARRIVAL OF FIRE
TRUCK IS DELAYED
Mayer Rage Denies Apparatus
Is Being Reduced-Calls
Tale Wind.

The second truck OF the newly-pur-
chased fire apparatus did not arrive
yesterday, a. had been promised
Mayor kage in a letter written by the
president of the Robinson Msnufac-
turing Co.
Reports to the effect that the delay
was caused because the truck had to
be shortened in order to be housed in
the local fire engine house, are not
true, according to the Mayor. The
hooks holding the ladders were moved
closer to the seat, and in this manner
the length of the truck was reduced
BIZ four feet. But the body of the
truck was left unchanged.
The Mayor also squelched the rumor
that fie engine house would have
to be heightened so that the hook and
ladder truck could be placed in the
house. 1t was said that because Of
the length of this truck, the fire de-
pertinent building would have to be re-
a second time, which would
cause an extraordinary expense to the
city. This is intended as humor, the
Mayor said.
It is certain now that the new APP
paratus will not undergo the official
test until the second truck has az
rived.

OSBORN'S ESTATE
LOSES BIG SUIT
Jury Holds Switchman Was Not
Killed By Railroads
Carelessness.

On the grounds that the employees Of
a railroad company do not have to
take precautions measures in switch
ing freight cars in the yards, the jury
in the damage suit of the Osburn eS-
tate against the Frisco Railroad, yes
terday afternoon returned a verdict
in favor Of the railroad which was be-
ing sued for the death of Willis b.
Osburn to the amount of $4,000. The
jury was out about an hour when the
verdict was agreed on.
In the petition for the damage,
Judge f. D. Hays alleged in the name
of the widow and the children Of the
dead man that the railroad company
was liable for the death of Osbura,
who was run over and killed by fat
car that had been Kicked off onto a
sidetrack. In instructing the jury,
Judge Snider emphasized the point
that, should the evidence have shown
any negligence on the part of the rail
road or its employees, then the verdict
should be in favor of the plaintiff.
But if no negligence was shown, the
jury was asked to find for the de-
PENDANT.
After the verdict mad been announc-
ed, one of the jurors said he wanted to
vote in favor of the plaintiff for hui
manitarian reasons, but under the in
structions of the Judge and the evil
dence presented, he was compelled to
vote against the widow.
Osburn was run over and killed in
September, 1915, in the switch yards
in South Cape. He was an employee
of the railroad company, and was
cleaning the yard when the accident
happened. 1t was stated by several
witnesses that he stepped aside to let
a passenger train pass and was hit
BY the fat car. The railroad company
was represented by A. P. Stewart.

Are BOCEY GUNS
So Britain Considers the H.
Inch Ones of Germany.
"DaSh" From KieI Canal Ridi-
culed by English Warriors.
BY WILBUR S. FORREST.

London. Feb. S.-The idea that
Germany's fleet will come dashing out
of the Kiel ANAL some day, equipped
with 17-inch guns that will blow the
English dreadnaughts to pieces, was
ridiculed by British naval experts to-
day.
The story about the 17inch guns
was first printed in a London paper.
Inactivity on the part of the German
navy, it was explained. was due to
the fact that these guns, capable of
hurting more than a ton of metal a
distance of 20 miles, were being
placed aboard German warships.
Official utterances on the subject
are taboood in London. Nevertheless,
it was learned today that British
naval officials believe the 15-inch
guns with which the dreadnaught
Queen Elizabeth is equipped, is the
maximum caHber for this class of
usage, especially in the North sea,
where the British and German fleets
might clash.
