not help but attain success. Mr.. Ack-
erman was introduced by Superin-

Jury'S Verdict In
Cheffing's Case Is
Two-Edged, Claim

What is termed by local attorneys
as double barreled" verdict was re-
turned this week by jury in depart
ment No. of circuit court, in the case
Of Estella Cheffing, administrator,
against Walker d. Hines, agent for the
Southern Pacific railway.
Mrs Cheffings had brought suit ior
Judgment, against the railroad com
pany as result of the injury and sub
sequent death of her husband, Charles
Cheffngs, while he was employed in
the railroads construction service.
The first verdict of the jury, rem
dered unanimously awards to Mrs.
Cheffings $4,000. for pain and suffer-
ing of Charles Cheffings, prior to his
DEATH"
The second verdict, special find
ing, also marked Unanimous" finds
that the carrier company was negli-
gent in its failure to provide safe trans
portation for Charles Cheffings, while
he was in the company's employ. The
special verdict further finds that
Charles Cheffings was aware of.such
defective transportation the same be-
ing "obvious and known" to him ac-
cording to the jurors findings.
Counsel for the railroad company i'm
mediately filed a motion that the first
verdict be set aside as not supported
by the testimony in the case and incon-
sistent with the special findings. Some
attorneys hold that any instance Of the
Jury to remunerate Mrs Cheffings for
her loss is undermined by the special
return which apparently fixes john
responsibility.

Old Timers Hold
Jubilee In City
Recall Past Days

The homecoming event celebrated
in the armory this afternoon was not
as much of success as was hoped 1t
would be. A little before the noon
hour fifty or more of the early settlers
assembled there, bearing all manner
of good things for the inner man, and
a pleasant time was had at the boun-
tifu1 luncheon which was prepared by
the ladies, who are also responsible
for the success of the meeting. There
were but few OF the "homercoming"
class present however, and some
seemed to be disappointed over the lit
tie interest shown.
The afternoon was spent in review
ing incidents of an early day and this
was, to the pioneers, the outstanding
feature OF the occasion. 1t was a real
feast
One interesting feature of the event
was the collection of old-time photo
graphs furnished by Tom Cronise stu
dio. Many OF the old citizens and old
land marks were viewed with much
interest. Among them were the old
southern Pacific depot and the street.

house in the SOS with its picket fence,
the old passenger steamer with its ex-
cursion party, Cooks hotel, now known
as the Salem hotel, the old fire de-
partment, the first bridge constructed
police force, and other land marks
that are here only In memory. The
old residents portrayed are William
Shaw and his son, Judge Thomas
Shaw, grandfather and father of Mrs
Epley and residents of 1874; Mrs. Hal
lie Parish Durdal. as child; Paul
Wallace in his youth Secretary of State
Fred Loclxley as a pioneer mail car

A beautiful program was rendere'
during the afternoon and many inter

big feature OF the program was vo
