hy the defendant as a section hand
and on August 2a, 11110 lie was
thrown from a hand car and injured.
The place cf the occurrence was
north of bells on a siding track.
In this rase Col. C. B. Rnndell
was In charge of the case in behalf
of plaintiff with A. L. Randell as-
sisting. This is the first case that
Col. Randell has argued before a
jury In about three years. He says
that he is anxious to get back in
the harness regularlv and will be
glad to gH to attending to his own
affairs completely. He has been
congressman from this district for
twelve years, and his term in such
expires March 1.
During Hu ime that Col. Randell
has been mu-ressman he lias of
course done considerable office work
In his profession, but during that
time also he has been at a disad-
vantage on account of Mrs. Randell
being in very poor health. He re-
marked that he would lake up his
practice after his term as congress-
man expires.
Court Notes.
Judge J. Q. Adamson appointed
Jesse F. Holt, yesterday afternoon as
temporary administrator for the es-
tate of Dr. O. A. Carr, who died
Wednesday. An Invoice of the
property has not been filed, neither
bas the will. The rumor is to the
effect that Dr. Carr left consl ’erahle
property to charitable Institutions as
well as to Carr-diurdette college, ot
which he was president. The will
cannot be probate! before the Jan-
uary term of. the county- court, so it
will probably not be filed for sev-
eral weeks.

So old people need Ca sea rets. One
