WAR VETERANS
GET TOGETHER
Large Number Of Veterans Of Four
Wars Gathered at Mckim Hall
On Last "Wednesday.
INTERESTING PROGRAM GIVEN.
Elegant Supper Served by Woman's
Relief Corps and Sons Of Veterans
Enjoyed by All Present..

Veterans of four wars rubbed shout
ders with each other in true demo
cratic fashion becoming the soldiers
of Uncle Sam at supper rendered
them at the McKim hall on last
Wednesday by the Womens Relief
Corps and the Sons of Veterans.
Scores of "citz," the relatives and
friends of the veterans, were there to
enjoy the entertainment as special
guests.
Despite the blizzardy weather the
hall was packed when the mess call
sounded and all did justice to the sup
per which was served in real army
style. First of all the tin plates and
tin cups were issued to each guest
which only added a more realistic
touch to the menu. Baked beans,
creamed potatoes with a generous
amount of "slop," sandwiches and hot
coffee with real doughnuts, made up
the Chow" Every one did justice to
the supper and doughboys and civil
ians were of the the opinion that
Uncle Sam made a great mistake by
not turning over the mess kitchen to
the ladies Of the w. r. c.
Following supper Sears McHenry
called the company to attention and
asked Rev. c. E. Hamilton of the Bap-
fist church to open the program with
prayer.
Miss Anna Sollinger of the college
faculty was then called upon and she
gave two excellent readings which
were greatly enjoyed.
Rev. Robert Karr, pastor of the
church, delivered the
principal address of the evening,
speaking on the life of Abraham Lin
coin on whose birthday the entertain
ment was given. Rev. Karr is an elo-
quent speaker and is always enjoyed
by a. Denison audience. He told of
the, traits of Lincoln and how through
out his life kindness to all had been
his chief aim. Rev. Karr did not dwell
on the great accomplishments of Mr.
Lincoln but told Of incidents where
he had shown his truly remarkable
and kindly character. The address
was one different than is usually heard
on the life of Lincoln and for that
reason was all the more interesting.
Lieut.. Morris Wilkinson, who only
recently returned from active serv-
ice In France, gave most interesting
talk describing his experiences on the
front in France. He served

DISTRICT COURT
HAS ADJOURNED
Case Of Reinwadt VS.. Jacob HuIsebus
For Criminal Assault Decided
in Favor Of Defendant.
GIVEN VERDICT FOR $500.
Judge Albert Will Return First of
March and Reopen Court in Or.
der to Finish Many Matters.

The January term of the district
court has come and gone. Court adj
journed last Friday afternoon or more
properly speaking, active court work
was suspended and recess taken I'M
til about the first of March when
Judge Albert will return to close up
some unfinished matters. The last
case tried to the court was that of
Luney heirs VS. Jane Rollins ct al
This was an action concerning owner
ship Of lot, near the city park and
after the evidence was taken, the
court took the case under advisement
to be decided later.
The case of special interest during
the term was that of Mrs. Reinwaldt
VS. Jacob Hulsebus, an hotion for
criminal assault. This case, like cas-
es of this character, attracted crowd
and consequently the attention of the
community. The woman claimed ten
thousand dollars damages and recov-
cred a verdict Of five thousand dol
lars. The size of the verdict was a
surprise to the community as many
predicted no recovery could be had
under the evidence, but one must I'M
derstand the practice of Crawford
county jurors in cases of this charact-
er before making a prediction. Our
observation leads us to conclude that
the inclination of jurors in this coun- :
ty is to take sides with the woman
rather than the man, in contest of
this character. This maybe alright
but sometimes the man gets the worst
of it in legal contests. There were
di1cumstan and disputeE in the
testimony that made the plaintiffs !
claim look improbable and the jury
must have solved all the doubts in
favor of the plaintiff because, while
the actual damages allowed were but
$1,000. the exemplary damages were
$4,000. which indicated that their feel
ing toward the defendant must have
been intense or else a desire on the
part of the jury to warn others against
the preparation of acts of this char
acter We understand the defendant
will not let the case rest here and
will have the record of the case sub
mitted to the supreme court for its

in at this time. He sounded the prais-

 And so like Kilrain, I feel little sense of happiness over the fact that the mill man back in the 70s took it upon hlm- self to attempt insulting kilraln 1T he hadn't, the chances are that the easy going, quiet-mannered kfraln never would have entered the professional prize ring-and I might never have had real chance to show what I could do against the world-famous heavyweight. Kilrain was born in Greenport, N. r., on February g, 1859. Some years later his parents moved to Somerville, Mass, a suburb of Boston. Grown beyond the knickerbocker stage of boyhood, kllraln got a job in a rolling mill in Somer- vile, and industrously set about learn 1 ing his trade.

the practical jokes of some of his CO., workers. But quiet-mannered Jake paid little attention to the majority of them. But Jake, who didn't mind the kidding and the ri1icule from all the others, re- scented that which came from one of the workers, whose name, I believe, was Jack Daley. The latter had acquired a fair reputation as boxer in the Somer- vile district
 One day the bully, hoping to provoke laugh at the expense of Kilrain, yelled at him across the shop:
 'Oh, you big country gawk"
 Anger flamed within Kilrain. He dropped his tools and went over to Daley:
 "The next time you call me any names or try to play any jokes on me, I'm going to whip you," exclaimed Kilrain. The bully, who had doled out beatings to more than dozsir of the fellows in | the shop and who was always spelling for a fight, leaped over at Kilrain and said:
 Are you, threatening meT' 'Tm telling you that if you insult me again I'm going to whip you"
 And then things began to happen. l Daley-if that was the bully's name swung at Kilrain's jaw but missed. Then i, Jake took swing and also missed. Then the two began to tear into each other raining blows upon the head and body. DdleY WASH a ShlllI LII IlSHleT yet ue knew far more about ring tactics than the unschooled Hilrain. But Daley's knowl- | edge availed but little.
