The continuation of the hearing of

SUIT FOR $4,000
: IS INSTITUTED IN
UNUSUAL MANNER

Suit for $4,000 was instituted in
the federal court yesterday against
the E. E. Saunders Fish Company, by
Geohard Mack, one of the two sur
vivors of the wreck of the fishing
schooner Dorothy in the hurricane Of
July 5.
The libellant claims that he suffer
ed injuries, mental and physical in the
storm, due to the negligence of the
company in sending the ship to sea
without providing equipment which
could withstand the gale. The speci-
fic allegation against the fish COM
pany is that the fore staysail, or
storm sail was of such poor material
that it was torn and destroyed when
the boat tried to use it for escaping
the hurricane.
The libel further alleges that had
it not been for this fact the entire
crew would probably have been saved
but that after the storm sail was
blown off the vessel was helpless.
The libel is considered the most UNI
usual ever filed in the local court
for as the vessel was lost nothing
could be attached and the defendant
was not required to give bond. Oh
further interest is the fact that Maaci
| who was mate on one of the German
steamers interned here, filed a pau
per's plea, stating that he was unabl.
to furnish bond for the costs. Tit
oath, it was tated, is of no effect, fol
| to derive the benefits of such oatl
the petitioner must be a citizen of tn,

ed that the credit of the articles los
on the smack be attached, but thi
procedure could not be carried cut a

CAR TURNS OVER
BUT NOBODY HURT

No one was hurt when an automo-
bile owned and driven by mach&nist
from the aeronautic station overturn-
ed at the embankment, at the ap-
proach to the county bridge at Bayou
Chico last night. The accident occur
red about o'clock while the machine
was going west on the road, imme-
diately after crossing the bridge.
The embankment at this point is
about eight feet high and rises al
most sheer from the edge of the
bayou. Further danger is encoun-
tered at this point owing to the fact
that the road turns sharply to the
right, making the emban1nent in a
direct line with the end of the bridge.
