Zebra census statistics from
South Africa show a large fall in
numbers of the striped "horse," as
they have been called. The Chap
mar zebra, pictured above, is near
~ extinct, due TO race suicide
which in turn Is due to the en-
c%roaching OF civilization. The
Burchell zebra is holding its own
in better shape, but it, too, is a
mere remnant Of what it once was
in numbers.

nercny Case Again

Another chapter In the now cele-
| brated case of Harry L. Newcomer
! aEainst Thomas A. Deveny was ad-
ded this morning to the records
when Attorney Brooks Deveny ap-
peared for the defendant and made
a motion to have the verdict OF the
trial Jury set aside. The grounds
i for the motion G additional evil
| dence that has come to light since
| the trial tending TO show that MT
Newcomer must have had a con-
| ~yersation with the defendent pre-
vious to the time when he handed
| over the diamond In a barber shop.
| Mr., Newcomer had testified at the
trial that he had no such CONVEX
| sation. Another reason for asking
| for a new trial, was the address OF
counsel for the plaintiff which At
| torney Deveny regarded as having
had a tendency to prejudice the
jury against his client.
In making answer, Major NJ. M.
Nicely, of counsel for the plaintiff,
! cited a decision OF the state SUI
preme court, holding that any OBJ
iec;iuas ~ remarks 10 u jury must
be made 10 the trial judge at the
time CT thc trial and may not be
brought up after the verdict has
been rendered nr made no OBJ
| jecticu 20 the intrcd uction of an
/ affidavit of Mary Deveny except to
ask that 1t be stated in the docu-
ment that she is a daughter of the
! defendant. This was sustained by
the court, and Attorney Deveny
was instructed to make the neces-
sary change, and present the
amended affidavit to the court next
Saturday, November 81.
What's a Straw Bond?
Everybody knows, since the late
political campaign, what consti-
tutes 4 Straw Yote,' but just what
and why is a STRAW bond" receiv-
ed some calculation in court dur
ing a spirite discussion between At
torneys Harry Shaw and E. B.
CarSkadon, when the latter made a
motion to have the verdict render
ed against Grace Stealey last week,
set aside. The suit was tried be-
fore a jury who rendered a judg-
ment for $3.50 for the plaintiff. /.
Funt.
Attorney Carskadon based his
motion on the contention that he
had not been notified that the suit
was to be tried, and that he YER
dict had been rendered before he
had any knowledge that the suit
was in course of trial. Attorney
Shaw, for the plaintiff, who had
won, raised only one objection and
that was that he thought a straw
bond" insufficient for the continu-
ance of the case. This brought At
torney C~arskadon to his feet with
the rejoinder that the signers of
the bond are holders of real es-
tate; Judge Showllter reserved his
decision for a latter date.
The two ejectmCnt suits Of NJ.
a. Joliffe against the Jamison Coal
and Coke Co., continued from last
week until today, vel again con-
tinued until Dec. l, on account of
a survey that has not yet been com
pleted. Attorneys NJ. NJ. Nicely and
NJ. w. Ogden appeared for the
plaintiff and Frank c. Raymond
for the defendant.

POSTAL SAVINGS AND LIBERTY BONDS.

csIlsTAINED interest has been shown by Deawareans

ceptance speech Of Senator Harding that he favored a

Liberty Bonds back to par.

that was done the market price OF Liberty Bohos Wouu

II Is argued that instead OF paying the banks hat gen
