Charlie Wins First Lawsuit.
The folowing interesting and
characteristic letter was receiv
ed by Judge Jeffery from Charles
when I should write you.
Vanderbilt University, and we
are glad to know, is making
good:
j Nashville, Tenn., July 24. ’13.
Mr. R. E. Jeffery,
| Newport, Ark.
Dear Judge:
j You have owed me a letter for
some few months, but a wom
an’s reason shall not cause me
to fail writing you at a time
when I should write you.
By now you probably know
that I passed every one of my
tickets with an average of
85 2-3. You can easily guess
that the happiest boy in the
world is at present sojourning
in this city. After months of
slavery I have hammered out a
big one-third of my task and
I see ahead of me the fulfillment
of my ambition, heretofore
rather misty and indefinable.
The keenest pleasure in my
success this past twro years lies
in the two letters I have just
written, in which I tell you and
Dr. Jones that I haven’t be
trayed your confidence. You two
have done for me more than you
will ever realize. Only I can un
i j i
ueisianu fiiiu you can never
fully take in the inspiration in
fused into me by the trust of
two grown gentlemen. Per
haps some day you will be as
tonished to see the gratitude
formed by acts which you two
now regard as mere kindness.
There is a certain expression
often encountered in my stud
ies which fits perfectly here,
“According to the circumstances
peculiar to each individual
case.”
Not yet a lawyer; still I have
already won my first case, and,
although it will appear simple to
you, I want to tell you of it.
One of the clerks was sum
moned to the magistrate’s court
to answer for a two year debt,
which" he had formed in Arizo
na. It had been placed ip the
hands of a colection “agency”.
We went to the court together
and here was my course of ac
tion : ., ..
<*>
1 first insisted on an itemized
account of the bill to supple
ment the affidavit sent in by
the creditor. This forced them
to ask for a continuance of
two weeks in order to get it
from the firm, which “we” gra
ciously agreed to. The case was
settled yesterday and the clerk
paid me four-fifty, which he ac
knowledged was justly due.
My victory lies in the fact that
the agency presented a bill for
$18.75 and refused to comprom
i ise. All along I h»d the clerk’s
I old receipts, but merely held
■back to put them to as much
trouble as possible, so I could
enjoy myself more. Their
methods justified me,, for thfy
attempted to take advantage of
the clerk’s ignorance of the
jlaw and force a defective gar
nishment on his salary. There
had never been a judgment and
! their garnishment wasn’t worth
the paper it was written on.
This will be ridiculously sim
ple to you, but it was the first
time I had ever done such a
thing and the lawyer for the
collecting agency had me scar
i ed to death most of the time, es
pecially when he would say
about a Question I was ignorant
of, “This is the law.” I kept
two things in my head. Make
them be explicit and keep cool’.
What do you think of it any
way?
I would like very much to
see you. Do you think it likely
that you will be over in this
part of the world soon? Have
n’t changed very much since
leaving Newport. Have formed
a bachelor’s club of my own
here in Vanderbilt. There is
two much work to be done and
I haven’t the time nor the in
clination to do the graceful
act. By the way, the biggest
girl lover. Beau Brummel, and
incidentally the most popular
boy here, is Gene Sloan, son of
your friend, Clay Sloan. He is
known everywhere as “Blondy.”
Had better quit before you
become bored, but wish you
would answer when you find
a spare moment.
Your friend,
’ “ CHARLIE.

Poisoned By Rabbit Bitten By
Snake.
Hot Springs, July 25—Nellie
Calbert. 12-year-old daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Calbert, 331
West Brook avenue, is suffer
ing from blood poisoning caused
by fondling a young rabbit that
was rescued alive from a rattle
snake last week at McClendon
Springs, while the Calbert fami
ly was camping there. The rat
tler was killed.
The young rabbit had been
crippled by the snake in its at
tempt to swallow it and the lit
tle girl captured it for a pet. In
her pity for the little animal
she fondled it and held it up to
her face soon after the rescue.
It is believed there was some
slight abrasion in her skin
through which the poison from
the snake’s fangs entered. The
little girl’s face and arms are
in bad condition. The doctors
consider her condition serious.

Swifton Wins Another Game.
Special to Independent.
Swifton, July 25—Through
the star battery work of Massey
and Massey, Swifton won anoth
er close game from the cham
pions of Craighead County.
Though t ho Cash boys batted
and fielded well, whenever they
got men on bases, they couldn't
find our invincible “Farmer Mas
sey." Opportune hitting by
Swifton with men on won the
game for them. The features of
the game were King’s beautiful
throw from deep center field,
corking a man on Third base,
and the fielding of Short St<ir»
Taylor. All we can say of the
Cash team is that they played
ball from start to finish. We are
deeply indebted t<> the Umpires
for the splendid service rendered
in this game.
