Mrs. Oxner Gets Verdict For $510 Juries Dismissed Wednes day Morning. In the comrnnon pleas court, Judge Ernest Gary pres'ding. the juries were dismissed on Wednesday morn ing. Three cases had been set for trial on Wednesday, but owing to the illness of Mr. Fred. H. Dominick, who was of counsel in each I of the eases, the cases were continued. All the cases on the ros ter prepared by the bar hav.in been disposed of, there was iio furt.er need for the juries. Equity matters, and matters not re quiring a jury, were then taken up. The case of Mrs. Annie P. Oxner against the Western Union Telegraph company resulted in a verdict of five hundred and ten dollars for the plain tiff. Mrs. Oxner's suit was for $1, 999. She alleged that on the 30th of March, the day after the fire in New berry, she filed with the Western Un ion af Whitmire a message directed to her father, Mr. Geo. W. Pearson, at Newberry, asking, "Are you safe." She alleged that her two childrena were in Newberry in Mr. Pearson's home, and that all her household goods.were in her father's home. She further alleged that the telegram had never been delivered to her father. Judge Gary, after hear ing the testimony of the plaintiff w.ithdrew the question of mental anguish from the jury, on the ground that the telegraph comipany had .not been put on notice, either by the tele gram or othe*rwise, that Mrs. Oxner was' worried about her ehildren, the operator at Whitmire not having been inform d, and there being noth ing och the face of the telegram to sho.w, that Mr. Pearson was Mrs. Oxner's father, or that Mrs.' Oxner had children in New1berry a bout whom she was worried. Judge Gary submitted to the jury the question as to whether or not the plaintiff had sustained actual damages by. the 'failure to deliver the telegram, plain ttiff having paid twentylve cents to the company, -and 'whether or not if there was negligence on- the part of the company in failing to deliver it, the negligence was so gross as to warraint punishing the defendant. Miss Sue Dean, operatoqr at New berry, testified 'that she received the message at a'bout 4.10 p. mn., and de *livered it to Carl Epting, extra mes sengeir boy. Carl Epting testified he mrade every effort to find Mr. Pear son, 'but failed. Miss Dean said she reported to Whitmnire at 8.15 p. in., 'that the message was undelivered, and asked for further address, and that she had never heard anything more from Whitinire. After a clear charge from Judge Gary, the jury 'retired and returned a verdict for $510 for .wantonness. Mrs. Oxner was represented by' Messrs Bleasa & Dominick, and the IWestern Union was represented by Messrs. Hunt, Hunt & Hunter. A motion for a new trial is pend mg. Amity Lodge, No. 87, A. F. M.

"Fighting Bob" Evans looks like an over-grown schoolboy, .with a Ipatch of corrugated elepihanit skin here and there. His age is 61. He was born in Floyd County, Virginia, and got into the navy via Utah, be ing appointed at large by President Buchanan. His full name is Bobley Duglison Evans. His father was! Samuel Andrewv Jackson Evans, and Bob was named for the noted Dr. Bobley Dunglison of Baltimore, whose son was a famous physician a.d author in Philadelphia, Dr. Rihard James Dunglison. Bob acquired the sobriquet of "Fgtn Bob," as every one ought to know. when he visited Valparaiso, Chili, with the Yorktown in 1891, Iand threatened to blow a hole in the Andes big enough to sail a fleet throgh. Bob had made good in many ways and is liked in the navy. It is unlikely that any officer of the line will object seriously to his ad vancement to the grade of vice ad m'al.
