AKgrrlevtU. A Casual remprk by Sheriff Stevens as to theories on the foedinfr of county prisoners lias resulted In making him the defendant in a damage suit for f 1000.- The suit was filed In th State Circuit Court yesterday by Louis Ebe 1 in fir. who has the contract to supply meals to prisoners at the County J ail. Not long ago. on December 30, to be exact, the Sheriff was tallcinsr casually with an acquaintance, and it appears r , ; ' , he said: "I see no reason why a per- s so unfortunate as to aret lould he fed from the swill . restaurant.' - This coming to the ears of Ebetlngr caused mm iBfreat mental worry; in fact, $1000 worth. ' Through his law- yer, ,R. G. Morrow, lie asKs tor $1000 88 a balm to his wounded feelings. The complaint ' sets out that the Sher iff's words conveyed the Impression that Ebelinff was feeding the prisoners from swill barrels, a thing which is not .true,' according to the complainant. "1 haven't got time to think or tallc about such noncense," Tvas Sheriff Ste- vens'' only comment when asked for a statement. ' BOTH ARE GIVEN . DAMAGES Plaintiffs In' Personal Injury Suita .

At 10 o'clock a request was made to Circuit Judge Gantenneiu for further instructions in the case. ' The jurors decided, that though, young" Smith was tiurt In a streetcar accident, con- tributory neglisrence reduced the com pany's liability to S120. J.. W. Dryden was awarded SloOO in his suit against tlie Pelton-Arnmronf com- lany. A sealed1 verdict wa returned duri ng the nifrht and read in Judge Cle land's court yesterday when court opened. Dryden asKea $1Q,2W for personal Injuries sustained while working in the. company's lumber camp. The Jury reached a verdict after beins out about eisht hours. Ready for Debate With Socialists. Rev. Olarence True Wilson announced yesterday that arrangements may be made for a debate with some member of the Socialist party on the resolution that soclety can be saved through the in strumentality of the church.," although he liaa not yet aiwwerea tneir challenge, He says that some time In August a letter was sent him by the Socialist party, and that he told the person who brought It that it wa po?ffIiIe arrangements for a ubaU could he made later on.
