TAPI0CA BASIS FOR
$4,000 DAMAGE SUIT

The serving of a double order Of
tapioca pudding In Thompson's res
taurant, II South Main street, Satur-
day at noon almost precipitated a riot,
caused the arrest of Walter Zuberg,
the manager, and brought forth a dam
age suit against Zuberg and the res
taurant for $40, 900.
The bill sets out the following mar
rative Of the affair: VIM. j.. Gray,
clerk in the restaurant, sold a double
order OF the pudding to A. d. Willis,
a customer. Zuberg, the declaration
sets out, ordered Gray to change his
clothes, telling him he was discharged
Gray didn't get out of his duds quickly
enough to suit Zuberg, the plea sets
out, and Zuberg became angered
cursed him, beat him and choked him,
The crowd, It Is said, thereupon grew
into an angry mob and set upon Zu-
berg. The manager took time by the
forelock and decided that a good run
was better than a bad stand, so he
saved his skin by a quick exit from
the main floor to the cellar.
Zuberg was arrested. The case was
up in police court Monday, but was
dismissed on the failure of the plaintiff
to appear. Counsel in the declaration
gave reasons for his failure to appear
They say he was sick from the cutting
| and was unable to be on hand.

the conspicuous absence of that bit
