met Connard In Colorado City a short
time ago and that Connard asked
him IL there was any chance for OBJ

and climbed out of the house. He
went TO the home of an adjoining
rancher and told of his experience.
Green then collapsed and was rushed
to st. Francis hospital. Colorado

HERE'S HOW BILLY
CAME TO USE HIS
SAWDUST TRAIL
rhs origin of the sawaust trail is

The origin of the sawaust trail is
discovered.
where did 1t come rom. who
named It, and why did they name it.
and how did it all hapDen?' have been
the questions In the minds of many
washingtonians since Billy Sunday
began his campaign here.
Here is how IL happened:
Billy was conducting revival in
1912 in Bellingham. Wash. in the
most northwesterly county Of the
most northwesterIy Stale in the
Union. Therefore. you won't have to
be told that there was q lot OF saw
dust about.
The town was literally n network
of criss-crossed sawdust trails. II had
nine saw mills when Billy was there
Eight planning mills, tySenty-three
shingle mills. four sash and door
mills, and two box factories
The first sawdust trail was redo
lent OF red cedar. When Billy's tab
ernacle was built in Bellinsham the
sawdust on the aisles wRS q matter
of course. Sawdust YVES popular
around the lumber camp. and hitting
the trail was as familiar 20 the lum-
bermen as is shove on II lhe sailor.
When they started into the woods
they hit the trail" When they went
anywhere IL was hit the TRAIL" and
a good, sawdust-covered trail was
mighty welcome In that CO O.ntry.
Billy opened with little success. He
fought his battle with the lumber
men. and 1t seemed for days that he
would lose against them. He couldn't
get them to start.
Then one night, after a particularly
inspiring sermon, Billy shouted to the
lumbermen, Come on boys. hit the
sawdust trail for Elory!" and they
started coming. Billy's revival was A
success and Bellingham, Wash, gave
to the world one Of the most famous
phrases OF the times.

CHALONER LIBEL CASE
GOES TO HIGHER COURT

The Supreme Court OF the United

applied for by the Washington Post Com
pany against John Armstrong Chaloner.
directing the Court Of Appeals Of the
District Of Columbia to certify all the
papers involved In that proceeding to
the Supreme Court OF the United States
for review.
IL this case damages in the sum OF
SJ0.0lO were sought by Mr. Chaloner, and
trial was had in the District Supreme
Court before Justice Stafford. who d.
rected a verdict in favor OF the plaintiff
following previous rulings OF the Court
Of Appeals on hearing Of demurrer. in
pursuance OF which the jury assessed
damages in the sum OF 10000 for an
article complained Of. published in the
Washington Post concerning Chaloner.
On appeal. the Court OF Appeals affirmed
the ruling Of the lower court, from which
decision application was made to the
Supreme Court to issue a writ OF GER
tiorari upon the ground that the article
complained Of was not in itself libel
and that Il was erroneous to direct that
the verdict must be for the plaintiff. 1t
Is OF general Importance, In that most
newspapers throughout the country are
compelled to have representatives in the
District. and are, therefore, amenable to
suit here under the provisions OF the
District Code. and that. therefore. what
ever may be the view taken Of such
matters by courts Of the different States

they might be made subject to damages
