Moot Court’-An Important Case Iried by High Tribunal at fhe Southern Industrial Institute Last Night—-Louis Gottis the PlanitiS, Institute The Defendant. “O yez, O yez, the Honorable Court is open for the transaction of what ever business may come before it. God save the state and the Honorable Court!” These w’ords, spoken in the sonorous tones of Sheriff Suttles opened, the session of the moot court at the South ern Industrial Institute last night at 7:30 o’clock. The court was convened to finish the case of Louis Gattis vs. Southern In dustrial Institute, the evidence of which had been taken on the previous Saturday night. The plaintiff was su ing the institute for damages to the amount of $500 on the ground of the suffering caused by a burn from steam exploding from an alleged defective radiator in the room of said Gattis. The attorneys tor the plaintiff were Messrs. Manning Reynolds and Will Smith, while the Institute had emploj'^- ed Attorneys Clyde Smith, Joe Hend- ley and Joe Brown to defend them.* The case was a warmly contested one from the very first, and during the trial the feeling ran high. The plain tiff first produced their witnesses, v/ho after being sworn in by Clerk New’- ton, testified what they knew about the case. Louis Gattis testified that w'hile lying on his bed reading a book the valve of the radiator blew off and that the steam which emitted serious ly btirned his arm, causing him a great deal of distress both of body and of mind. The witnesses which fol lowed testified to the character of young Gattis and tried to corroborate Mrs. Pinkliam, Tjynn,Mass.,for it* It is free and always helpful. : L-.sted.

It may be used with perfect confidence by women who suffer from displacements, inflam mation. ulceration, fibroid tumors, ir regularities, periodic pains, backache, bearing-down feeling, flatulency, indi gestion, dizziness, or nervous prostra tion. For thirty years Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound has been the standard remedy for female ills, and suffering women o\ve it to themselves to at least give this medicine a trial. Proof is abundant that it has cured thousands of others, and why should it not cure you? If you-want special advice write {his testimony concerning the burning. The defense got hold of one of the character witnesses of the plaintiff and in his sarcastic v,ay said “So this l.ouis Gattis is a regular saint, is he?” In a. instant one of tlae law^yers for the plaintiff arose and in the excite ment of the moment addressed the judge, “Your honor, I object to Lonis Gattis- being a saint.” Then the valve flew' off the risibilities of the judge and all who had gathered to hear the trial, so that the judge had to declare a recess of two minutes before being able to proceed with the case. The defense brought -witnesses to the stand to bring out evidence for their side. The most important of which was- President Baldwin, w^ho testified that the occupants of the rooms were responsible for the things in their room and that wiienever any thing became defective it was their business to report it to him so that it might be fixed, Fred Stillwell, as an expert machinist, testified that though the valve of the radiator of s-aid Gat tis V. a,s defective to some extent, still if put in properly it would stand as much pressure of steam as could be raised in the boiler. This completed the evidence and the embryonic lawyers proceeded with the argument of the case. They reyiew- ed the evidence given by the wit- ne&ses, each side claiming with a great deal of vehemence to the “gentlemeii of the jury” that the evidence clearly proved that they should render their verdict in its favor. When they had completed their argu ment and the judge had charged tne jury, these honorable gentlemen, in company with the sheriff, filed out of the room and after serious delibera tion returned their verdict, allowing the plaintiff damages to the extent of $250.

When you ask for Cottolene be sure you get Cottolene^ There’s only one Cottolene—packed in patent air-tight tin pails, with our trade-mark on the face of the pail. It pays to pay a little more for Cotto lene because of its superior quality and the fact that, being richer, it will go one-third farther than lard or any of its imitations.
