VERDICT FOR Defendant
IN EVICTION COURT SUIT

The jury returned a verdict in
favor of the defendant in h case
of Amelia Womelsdorf against
Charles Demarest, tried in the dis
trict court before Judge Hommann
Tuesday. The action was brought
to eject Demarest from a house at
Sewaren rented by him from the
plaintiff, Mrs. Womelsdorf alleging
that the lease had expired.
Mrs. Womelsdorf testified that on
September 2, 1919, she had leased
the property to Demarest for one
year, with the privilege of renewal
for a second year.. At the expira-
ton of the term of the lease the
witness said that Demarest appear
ed at her home and, stating that he
had lost his copy of the document,
produced another lease for her sig
nature. This lease turned out to be
for five years and Mrs. Womelsdorf
maintained that it had been obtain
ed by trickery, since she had not
read the papers before signing them.
The defense denied the truth of
the testimony of the plaintiff and
brought out the fact that Mrs.
Womelsdorf was prompted by rea-
son of ~antagonism against the de-
tendant to attempt to eject him.
Demarest also denied that he had
ever said his copy of the lease was
lost, producing the copy in question
as evidence.
Andrew Wight represented the
plaintiff and ]. M. Klein was attor-
ney for the defense.

incomplete without one or two of
these subjects, at least.
The drawing department, under

to be given for the poster of great
est merit.
The cooking, sewing and physical
training departments will show the
great progress that has been made
in this work since last year.. The
first exhibition, held about this
time in 1920, attracted a large
crowd who were particularly graft

from $3.50 to 5 o'clock and the even
ing session from 1880 to 10, and
will include the gymnastic demon
stration and chorus singing in the
gymnasium.

and a deep love for all things of

decision. In large southern

father, a famous frontiersman. He
makes his home with Silas Lennox,

1t. It's the kind of meat your grand

Soon after dinner Lennox led him
out of the house for his first glimpse
of the hills in the darkness.
They walked together out to the
gate, across the first of the wide pas

came out upon the tree-covered ridge.

him.
They both stood still. Dan was as
motionless as that day in the park,
long weeks before, when the squirrel
had climbed on his shoulder. The first
effect was a sensation that the silence
was deepening around them. It wasn't t
really true. Itowas simply that he
had become aware of the little con-
tinuous sounds of which usually he
was unconscious, and they tended to
accentuate the hush of the night He
knew, just as all mountaineers know,
that the wilderness about him was
stirring and pulsing with life. Some
of the sounds were quite clear-an
occasional stir Of pebble or the crack
of a twig, and some, like the faintest
twitching of leaves in the brush not
ten feet distant, could only be guessed
at

smells and sounds, but he felt that
they were leaving an imprint on the
