a fellow railroad -man. was suffering
from insane delusions of the paranoid
variety and was unable to distinguish, be

County Attorney James P. English
sought to combat the effect of the ex

are unconditioned upon the outcome and
re to be paid, wholly regardless of the
Jury's findings. ' ' '
: Mr. English asked Mr. Coulter If $300

Sir. English. ."By the capacity to pay?"
, "Just the same as the lawyers do," wu
the quick response. "By the capacity to
i pay and by the Importance of the case.
Sometimes you get more out of a man
and sometimes less, depending upon his
ability to pay and the value of the serv

neuver with the regular army and state
militias in spite of the . vetoing of the
army appropriation . bill which allows
funds for this purpose; Major Harry L.
Gilchrist, post surgeon at Fort Omaha,

fort. ., (" ' '
the battalion has been ordered to Ne
vada, 'Mo., to maneuver practice with
several companies of the Missouri Na
tional Guard and is to leave Fort Leav
enworth some time today or tomorrow,
the held maneuvers will probably occupy
ten days' or two -weeks' time.
This move of the department leads
General F.' A Smith of the Department
of: the Missouri to expect that further
field maneuvers with other state militias
are -likely to occur on or about dates
originally filed, but which were post
poned. It' Is probable, the general states,
that the maneuvers of the Nebraska Na
tlonal -Guard at Pole - Mountain. Wyo.,
will be delayed for a' few weeks, but
that Neither the funds on hand or the
passage of' a special appropriation bill
will be approved by the president. .
