week while'a passenger on a Southern

of glass in his eye and suffered a slight
cut on the head. The main line of the

the passenger train was moving- in one
direction, a freight train passed on the
other track running in the opposite
direction. A swinging door to one of
the box cars was blown out by the
heavy wind and scraped the side of
the passenger coach, knocking out the
window glass and knocking off the
cinder deflectors. The passengers
sitting on that side of the coach were
cut by the flying glass. Several were

George Abcrnethy and Van McMurry
had a. remarkable lish story to tell a j
few* days ago and brought the proof
back with them in tl?o form of a carp
which weighed 15 1-2 pounds, measured
33 inches long and 21 inches in
circumference. The boys were fishing
with a hook for small game and when
they received a heavy "bite" they
imagined they had-a whale. When the
big fish was drawn above the surface
of the water and they got a glimpse of
it. they feared the line would break
and they would lose their prize, so one
of them jumped into the water with a
stick and began pounding the big fish
on the head in order to kill him so he
wonld not flutter and pull so hard.
A ft or a most exciting effort to land the
fish, they managed to get him ashore,
rhcy were so pleased with their big
catch they stopped fishing and came
home. They were in The Star office
that night showing perhaps the largest
fish that had ever been caught in
Cleveland county waters, with a hook.

Joseph H. Nesson, a Harvard student,
was turned down by Justice Dunne,
in Brooklyn, X. Y? in his suit, against
19-year-old Frances Ludwig, to recover
the value of an engagement ring; one
string of imitation pearls: one. fountain
pen; a frat pin; a Harvard ring, and
a $2.50 gold piece given tt> her under
the impression that she intended giving
herself to him. The items and the
value of caeli were recorded in Joseph's
little note liook, the being $3R'J.!>0.
The learned bench held that Frances
was a minor when she became engaged
and that therefore the methodical
Harvard man was out of pocket as well
as out-of-luek. There was no indictment
filed against him as a "inker."
