SWING WITH RINGING BELLS
Men OF Nerve Required to Call the
Faithful OF Spanish City to
Their Duties.

In ordinary circumstances bell ring
ing is "A peaceful occupation TO which
white-huired, venerable men seem
ideally suited But the men who ring
the bells in the famous Gtralda of Sc
vile must be young men of unusual
agility and steadinesS OF nerve.
When the city Is TO make merry on
feast days the ringers climb 10 the
belfry, and then, by the aid of rope
and steps cut IN the wall of the tower,
each mounts to the bell he is TO ring,
and stands astride its brazen shout
ders. Then he presses the bell with
his feet, holding on to the crosspiece
on which il is swung.
Gradually the great bell sways to
the movement of the man nstrde II,
until il acquires a momentum that
swings the hammer first gently, and
then with increasing force, ms the
sweep Of the bell widens. until the air
is trembling with the blows that strike
the massive sides.

The most extraordinary part of the
daring performance Is the sight of the

sends the counterpoise with the ringer

later Leibnlz attempted the construc-

various other attempts were made in
succeeding years, but with little sue

Actress TO Lose Legacy
Bequeathed by Teacher
Appellate Division Holds Miss
Nj. J. Pierson Was of Unsound
Mind When Making Will

The friendship that caused Miss
Mary J. Pierton, for many years a
school teacher. 20 leave most OF her
$500 to Miss Marie Shotvell, a mo-
tion picture actress, had its beginning
on Christmas Day, 1915. For FIVE
years on that anniversary u was the
custom Of Mics Pierson 70 have din
ner with Miss ShotWell. II the actress
needed any reminder Of that annual
interchange Of friendly greeting, IL
will come 70 her this morning in the
unpleasant information that the APP
pellate Division Of the Supreme Court
decided yesterday that she shall not
have the legacy, which, In the absence
Of any known kin Of Miss Pierson, will
revert 10 the state.
Miss Pierson was a teacher in the
public schools for more than forty
years, and even persons who we're close
to her were unaware Of the extent OF
her fortune. In her will she referred
70 Miss Shotwell as my dear child
and friend"
The State Of New York contested the
will, averring that the testatrix vas
not Of sound mind when she executed
her viii. The case was decided In
favor Of the will and the state ap-
pealed, the Appellate Division now
reversing the judgment. Justice Green
baum said that the evidence justified
the conclusion that Miss Pierson, who
suffered from a cancer, had been
placed under the influence Of a mar
eotie and was not In q mental condition
20 comprehend her act when she ex-
eeuted her will.

Joseph J. Weinhandier, az one time
treasurer Of D. Bsrnes & Co., a
wholesale coal firm AZ S09 Seventh
Avenue, offered the principal testimony

head Of the defunct firm, who Is on
trial before Judge Mott In General
Sessions charged with larceny Of $780,
600 from the National Bank Of Com
merce and Compton dc Brai, French
coal firm, in October. 1920.
Weinhandler said he had told Barnes
there would be trouble over a ship
rnent Of 1000 tons Of "buckwheat No.
3" 20 the French company, because
what that company wanted was nut or
stove-size coal. He said the French
frm had ordered the coal upon receipt
OF a circular letter offering 10 supply
fresh-m med anthracite, and that Barnes
had told him 20 avoid mention Of the
size of the coal In negotiating with
the company. He further testified
that the French firm wanted 20 do
business on a contract, but that Barnes
refused 10 deal with them unless they
established q letter Of credit against
which he could make drafts.
The case was adjourned until next
Wednesday.

To this day the hunters who had
caught Unc' Billy Possum and then
lost him haven't the least idea what
became OF him. You know they had
supposed he was dead, when AL the
time he wasn't dead at all and had
stolen away the moment their backs
we're turned. He had been tossed on
an old stump, while they gave their
attention 70 Bobby Coon. and when
they missed him they were the most
puzzled hunters that ever hunted in
The Green Forest Il was some time
before they gave up trying 20 find
him. You see, they had counted on

"He certainly was dead" declared
the hunter who had carried Une'
Billy by the tail and who bad tossed
him on the stump. "And a dead Pos
sum certainly couldn't run away. II
must be that a big Owl saw him ly-
ing there and carried him OF. You
know an Owl makes no sound with
bis wings"
The other hunters agreed that this
must be the case. II was the only
way in which they could account Tor
upc' Billy's strange disappearance.

Case Against Sheriff

Action of Judge Lowe in district
court in Minot in restraining the
sheriff of Ward county, the auditor
and treasurer, from employing and
paying IL deputies for strike duty in
Minot during the beginning Of the
railroad strike was reversed by the
supreme court, in an opinion hand.
ed down today. Justice Grace dis
sented.
The proceedings were instituted by
A. F. McLane as a taxpayer against
the sheriff and other officers, com.
planning that between July l and rs
1922, the Great Northern railway had
number of peace officers in and
about Minot and that Sheriff Scotield
without an emergency existing, ap.
pointed them as deputy sheriffs to
serve until removed, and that they
received compensation from the rail-
way company and would be paid by
the county.
Judge Lowe issued restraining
order directed against the officials
The opinion of the supreme court
written by Justice Bronson, states
that the basis of the plaintiffs &C.
ton is that he is resident and a
tax payer Of the county, and that sc
far as the sheriff is concerned he
seeks to enjoin the commission Of
an alleged illegal use of discretion
ary power.
As against the sheriff, the opinion
stated, the plaintiff was in the posi-
ton of private individual sustain
ing no threatened loss, having M
right to maintain an action, and thai
as against the other defendants tht
complaint did not allege, nor tht
