J. H. Humpe manager of the Traction

toxicatedthe cars apparently sober, but that
after the sex-eral drinks they may have
crowded down Just "prior to starting city
ward get to working, they become decidedly
drunk. lie told the mayor how recently
he came In on a .car, and noticed several
men apparently sober on the rear platform,
but that soon after the car was started
tney Decame intoxicated and got Into a
fight. Some of them were knocked off the
platform In the mill. He got off and ran
back, as he knew another car would ba
along shortly, and had to drag some of
them off .the track.
. It waa stated, In the course of the confer
ence, that the company has to have pro
tection and that it is a question of dollars
and cents with It, for not only has It two
or three law suits on its hands growing
out of that character of ' business, . but
good many former patrons of the company
have quit riding the cars because of con
tact with that class of traffic
ii waa aiao siaiea tnat the company

have Havelock go dry this year.

The clerk of the district court here has
been struggling with the problem whether
witness is entitled 4o double fees for
testifying in two dipsomaniac cases la the
same day. Ha has assumed the position
that as the county is a party to the ac
tions the question is not ths same as
would be involved where a witpess test!
fies in oases where both plaintiff and de
fendant are different in the separate hear
lnga. Ha argues that If a man can be
allowed separate fees for esch examlna
tion he might testify in ten cases in one
day as well as In two and would receive
for his services $20.' He will therefore
follow the rule that a witness is entitled
to the usual per diem for attendance, re
gardless of the number of cases In rhich
he testifies.
