the First National Bank of Oakland
VS.. Harvey J. Speicher and others,
involving the payment of notes ag-
gregating $500 which had been dis
counted by the bank, was taken up.
The case was hotly contested by the
attorneys on both sides, Messrs. Sloan
and Robb, of Cumberland, appearing
for the bank, and Messrs. Renninger
and Otfutt, of Oakland, for the de-
PENDANTS. The case involved a pref
ty point Of law, according to the con-
tention Of the lawyers in the trial,
an effort having been previously
made in the courts of West Virginia
to collect the principal from the max
ers of the notes. The judgment in
the out of State court was against
the bank, hence the action was in
stituted here against the local peo-
pie and a verdict was rendered by
the Court in favor of the bank.
At six o'clock Saturday afternoon
Judge Wagaman, who had been sit
ting during the week until the above
case was called, when he was joined
by Judge Doub, discharged twelve of
the jurors, retaiing the other twelve
for service in two or three cases to
be heard later by the Court.

BOB MARTIN SAYS He IS
FAR FROM A DEAD One
Wires Friends That Operation
Removed Source of Trouble

Bob Martin, \. z. F. champion
boxer who has been reported dead
one" in the ring game at least half
dozen tines is again one of the
ring corpses.
Martin underwent an operation two
weeks ago for the removal of pus
sack under his right eye. The oper-
alton was successful and according to
physicians was only a minor one, but
nevertheless newspapers carried the
story day o. two ago that the for
mer pride of West Virginia was a
"has-been" as far as the ring game
was concerned.
A friend of Martins residing in
Clarksburg became alarmed at the
newspaper report that brain dis
ease ends Martins ring career" and
Immediately got in touch with the
fighter as also did Martins brothers,
A. r. and Orlando, who reside in Oak
land. Bob, according to his own
story, was dicharged from the hospit-
al and is in fine physical condition
and that the operation had been a
success. The brain disease" was
bunk, he said, and that he was going
back into training Immediately.
Martins ring career is far from be-
ing a thing that the historians can
take notice of, as the fighters eye
sight was improved by the operation.
For the last few years Martins eye
sight has been a drawback to the
fighter, and now with this remedied
it is no fairy tale that Martin will
come back

icaI body That is what uncon-
sciousness is.
In addition to. the physical
body, we are said to possess an
other, finer or more subtle body
IAN astral body-which cor
responds in appearance to the
physical body. but is composed
of more subtle and finer matter.
This body is the, vehicle of the
mind. It acts as a sort of con-
Meeting link between mind and
body. 1t is the body of sensation
and emotion. and it is with this
body that we feel. That is why
the dead do not feel any pain,
although the nervous system is
still intact.
The astral or life body has de-
parted from it., carrying with it
the soul OF man. And that is
why we do not feel any pain
while under the influence of an
anesthetic, and the physical body
can be cut up without sensation
on our part. 1t is because the
body Of feeling has been removed
completely from the physical
body, and only connected with it
by the finest of threads" easily
broken. .
Now, in sleep, this body also
leaves the physical body, but the
connections are deeper and
stronger-henee our ability to
respond to bodily sensations to
some extent during sleep. But
the astral body is ''out" Of the
physical body, lowering, above it,
subject to thought streams and
impressions from other minds, as
we'll as fabricating thoughts of it's
own. Hence the confused tumble
of dreams, which we find it hard
to bring back" into the physical
brain, when we awaken. But by
suitable psychical and occult de-
velopment We can learn to make
this severance more complete.
and control the thoughts and mo-
tons of this astral body, and
move, about in it, and think, at
will.
When we have learned this we
become one of the so-called Gin
visible helpers" We are then as
active and busy and conscious
during our sleeping hours as we
are during our, waking life. This
is the occult theory of Dreams
which, it may be said, has many
striking phenomena in it's favor.
