DAMAGE SUIT GOES
UP ON A DEMURRER
COURT Oh APPEALS WILL PASS
ON POINTS OF LAW IN SMITH
SUIT AGAINST THE CITY.

The suit for $4,000 damages filed
against the city of Dawson by Will
bur B. Smith, a former employe of
the Dawson Telephone Company who
came near losing his life by coming
in contact with highly charged cleo
trio wire from the municipal light
plant more than two years ago, will
go to the court of appeals on a de
murrer filed by the representatives of
the city-City Attorney R. R. Mar
lin and Yeomans & Wilkinson.
The suit, which was one of the
most important ever filed in the city
court, has aroused considerable in
terest, The plaintiff was represented
by Hixon & BlaIock and o. S. Pace
of Americas, and both sides had an
array Of witnesses to be put oil the
stand.
The demurrer of the ely came as
quite a surprise to the attorneys for
the plaintiff. and was argued at con-
siderable length when it came up for
hearing Wednesday afternoon, which
covered a part Of two days.
The plaintiff contended first that
the wires of the city were uninsulat-
ed, which fact was unknown to him,
and again that they were insulated,
but that the insulation had become
badly worn, and that the cross-arms
carrying the wires were too short,
with not enough space for linemen
to ascend and descend the poles in
safety The contention was also made
that the plaintiff was not aware of,
the high voltage carried by the wires,
he thinking they carried only 10
volts, which is all that is necessary
for incandescent lights, and lie alleg-
ed that the wires carried a voltage
of 1900, which he said was unneces-
sary and dangerous.
The demurrer filed by the city at
tackled the sufficiency of the allega-
lions, the attorneys basing their con-
tentiOn upon the case of Dorsey VS..
the Columbus Electric and Railway
Company, which was decided by the
supreme court, who held that the
allegations in that case, which were
similar to the Dawson case, would
not support finding for the plant
iff
After hearing the argument of the
defendants attorneys and the answer
of the attorneys for Smith, Judge Ed
wards expressed considerable doubt
as to the points involved, but finally
overruled the demurrer. Counsel for
the city then announced ready to pro-
coed with the trial, but the case was
continued in order that it might be
carried to the court of appeals for
ruling on the demurrer. If the decls-
ion of the higher court is favorable
to the contentious of the counsel for
the city it will probably end the case
If the decision of that court sustains
the lower court in overruling the de-
murrer the case will be sent back for
trial. In either case there will hard
Iy be any trial before some time dur
ing the fall.

MOST PRECIOUS GEM
Diamond Always Has Been Con.
ceded First Place.
All Through History the Stone Has
Played an Important Part-Its
Cutting a Matter of Serious
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Diamonds are always taken as the
standard precious stone. There are
many details concerning diamonds, of
SURPRISING interest, such as the diff
ferent methods of securing the rough
stones in ancient and modern times,
the prejudice against Brazilian dia-
monds as compared with Indian
stones, the objections to South Afri-
can diamonds, based on a theory that
they were not so good as the Bra
lillian stones, methods OF cutting dia-
monds, ETC.
The cut of the diamond is of great
importance. If it be cut perfectly and
regularly it's value is greatly en-
HANGED. The properly cut diamond
has SO facets, including the table and
collet, 80 facets above the girdle and
"a facets below. The surface of the
table should be 40 per cent of the
whole
Among the imperfections for which
the diamond buyer should look are
rough edges on the girdle, which will
cast shadow through the center of
the stone, causing great loss of bril-
liancy. In set stones they are often
covered up by prong of the setting
but the diamond is affected neverthe-
less
A scratch may be found on top of
the stone. This is often caused by
stones rubbing against each other. If
it is not too deep it may be removed
by polishing.
There may be nick in the girdle,
which is often covered by the setting.
This defect is caused either by the
brittleness of the stone or the girdle
having been cut too fine
If the stone has thick edges they
will cast shadows through the dia-
mond, which will confuse the color
If there is a feather in the stone it
comes from faulty capitalization and
cannot be removed 1t may be only a
small speck, or so large as to be Wis.,
ible to the naked eye. This flaw gives
the diamond hazy, lifeless appear
ance. Some feathers take the shape
of white subtransparent lines in the
body of the stone
Fractures are usually found near
the edge of the stone, and decrease
the value greatly, as they deaden the
briiiiancy. They are caused either
Dy blow or carelessness in the set
ting.
Black spots of carbon are usually
found in the top or in the lower half
Of the stone. These spots often ap-
pear in pairs, and when visible to the
naked eye impair the value of the
stone.
Do not expect to get an absolutely
perfect stone for any reasonable fig
ure, for they are so rare as to COM

OUTBREAKS OF HOG CHOLERA
Important Thing Is to Recognize Dis
ease Soon as Possible, That =
Serum May Be Applied.

1t is estimated that at least 80 per
cent of all deaths of hogs from dis
case in the United States are caused
by hog cholera. Therefore in the case
of any fatal outbreak, the chances are
about none to one that the cause is
hog cholera 1t is true that other in
fections may and do frequently COM
plicate outbreaks of hog cholera, but
in such cases the germ of hog cholera
Is the primary cause of the disease;
and if we can take care of the germ
of hog cholera the pig will usually
overcome the other infection himself.
The symptoms exhibited by hogs
sick of hog cholera are not sufficiently
distinct from those produced by other
maladies SO that a positive dia gnosis
can be made except through careful
consideration of q number of other
factors In connection with the symp-
toms. From practical standpoint the
important thing is to recognize hog
cholera as soon as possible after it's
appearance in a herd in order that
anti-hog cholera serum may be applied
before the disease progresses too far
Good serum may be depended upon to
protect well hogs. and even to cure
large percentage Of those in the earli-
est stages of the disease, but it will
not be of much avail when used upon
hogs that are already visibly sick
The following suggestions to farm
ers are offered as an aid to the early
recognition of hog cholera in a herd:
1. Keep posted concerning the con-
dition and health of hogs on other
farms In your neighborhood. Sick hogs
on a neighboring farm are a positive
menace, for the germs of hog cholera
are easily carried on the feet of men
or animals
2. Look over your herd regularly in
order that any sick hogs may be
promptly discovered
3. If any hogs in the herd are found
to be off feed or appear in anywise
sick, separate them Immediately from
the remainder of the herd, and keep
them and the main herd under close
observation daily. If there is ten
<dency for the disease to spread in the
herd the trouble is probably hog chol
era. This diagnosis may be confirmed
by killing one of the sick animals and
examining the organs.
4. When the first symptoms of sick.
ness are observed an immediate
