BAY COUNTY LOSES CASE IN
THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT
COURT AT PENSACOLA FRI

E. " Camp was awarded damages
in the sum of $7,s35.30 by jury in
the United States district cour. yes
terday, against the defendant, Bay
county, from whom an attempt was
made to collect damages in the s.I1n
Of $4,000. The jury consumed about
five hours in deliberation, before re-
turning a verdict, leaving the court
room shortly after noon and return
ing after 8 o'clock.
The trial has been in progress since
Monday and the length of the argu-
ments and evidence prevented hear

pard had planned. Blount. Blount &

The allegations of the plaintiffs at

employed by Bay county to construct
roads. was wrongfully discharged. af-
ter he had been awarded the contract
for the building of highways in Vie

county brought in evidence with the
intention of showing that insufficient
results had been obtained from the

After a considerable sum had been

cessation Of work on the roads by an

This caused the contractor to lose
sums for labor and ma
terials purchased and the suit re-
suited. 1t is probable that an appeal
will be taken.

 at the Park theatre next Thursday afternoon and The Sporting Widows"
 who play the same house for three days beginning May 15.
 Sears announced today that Harry i Cooper, featured comedian with the Sporting Widows" this season, will not be with that company next year. Joe Brown, a, former ball player and crack comic, will be headlined with that show next season. i The Jazz Band that played Polls theater earlier in the week, is booked i for a, 22-week engagement on the Keith's vaudeville time. 1 The new Edward F.

 was in town yesterday. Together
 with his brother and the Lovenberg
 sisters he is playing the Riverside

 play the Palace.

VICTORY LOAN DRIVE.

The Victory loan drive is on and the theatre has been appealed to by the local committee. And theatre and those who constitute it will re- spond with the usual generosity so characteristic of that profession. Without the aid of the theatre and those in it the success of past drives would have been most difficult. But the theatre is supported by a thor oughIy American aggregation of gen erous people-aIways willing to help the one most in need. Its players are of the progressively forward type, sometimes abused by those for whom they have sacrificed to aid, but al ways on the job when it comes to helping the needy. Bridgeport thea tres will raise money-more than will be raised by any one institution.
