QUICK ACTION WAS
ONLY SALVATION
Te CEarhart of lone Falls Down Belvedere
Elevator Shaft, and Flattens Himself on
the Floor Just in time
Had T. C. Earhart of lone hesitated
for a moment last night he would have
been seriously injured and probably
killed, involuntary action saved him for
trying to resist the, rush of a five-ton
elevator. Mr. Earhart stepped through
the elevator door on the first floor of
the Belvedere hotel, thinking that the
car was at the entrance. In the dark
ness he plunged down to the basement
and as he struck the cement floor heard
the grind of the wheels and the scream
of the exhaust as the elevator started
down. He threw himself flat on the
floor of the basement and held his
breath as the car came down with a
rush.
"I didn't know In the darkness," said
Mr. Earhart, "whether , the cage would
stop before it flattened me or not, and
I think I was about as well spread out
over that floor as I would have been if

WOMAN'S SAD CRY
Scarcely a day goes by that a hospital
ambulance or art undertaker's wagon is
not in waiting at the union depot for the
arrival of a "passenger." Some days
every incoming train brings a patient or
somebody's dead.
At the station gate there stood a wom
an this morning. She was weeping bit
terly, and when the matron approached
her the one in sorrow hurriedly inquired:
"Oh. tell me what has happened on the
a r. & N.r
"Why, nothing that I know of," re
plied the surprised matron.
'Oh, yes, there has" cried the dis
tracted woman, her tears falling anew,
"I know that something dreadful has oc
curred; I saw an ambulance outside."

the car had landed on me.'' The bump
ers, however, held the car from touching
the prostrate man, though until the ele
vator moved upward ' again Earhart
could not move a muscle, but remained
hugging the grimy floor.
A woman noticed Earhart's plunge and
told the elevator boy, who sent his cage
to the second flpor and allowed the prla
oner to crawl out. In speaking of the
experience Mr. Earhart said:
"I found the door to the shaft un
locked and pushed it back, expecting to
find the elevator Inside. In the darkness
I could not tell whether the elevator was
there or not and thoughtlessly stepped
off. I had no sooner landed on the pave
ment below than I knew that I was In a
dangerous place and I sprawled out over
that few feet of floor as quick as I
knew how." Aside from the Jar of the
fall and the mental shock Mr. Earhart
escaped uninjured.

ZHCSD TKS DECISION.
Lewis W. Robertson has lost his suit
to recover tl.480, double the amount
he claims to have lost by playing faro
at the Portland club, conducted by Peter
Grant and Nate Solomon. The jury re
tired from Judge Sears' court, where the
hearing was held, at 1:80 o'clock yester
day afternoon, and returned a sealed
verdict two and a half hours later. It
was opened and read in the presence of
John B. Cleland. the presiding judge in
the state circuit court, this morning by
Clerk Marlon R. Johnson. The text of
the verdict is as follows:
"Lewis W. Robertson, plaintiff, vs.
Peter Grant, et al., defendants. We, the
jury in the above entitled action, find
for the defendants."
The document was signed by W. J.
Hawkins, foreman, and the other Ju
rors, namely: C. W. King, John Proud
fit, Fred N. Pendleton, F. M. Mathena,
Cal Powell, Parker Adams, Alfred Eg
ger, John Good, A. J. Farmer and John
Hampton.
The court room was crowded In an
ticipation of the verdict. It was greeted
with a murmur of approval, and the
corridor was afterward packed with per
sons who were desirous of congratulat
ing Grant. Robertson was not present.
Irrespective of their opinions on open
gambling, the sentiment of all present
seemed to be 'against Robertson. Dur
ing the progress of the hearing the bai
liff had frequently to frown at men who
voiced th'elr opinion of Robertson in
stage whispers.
"Robertson Is an old rounder and haa
been a gambler for 20 years or longer,"
said an official at the courthouse as soon
as he heard the verdict read. "Bringing
suit was, under the circumstances, con
temptible, and everybody will be glad
he lost If it, had been some man who
does not make a business of gambling
and whose family had to suffer on ac
count of his losses, a different verdict
would have been welcomed. I know
personally that Robertson has been
barred from poker games In this city."
It is stated by one of the trial ju
rors that Robertson's admissions of be
ing an old gambler cut a large figure
so far ss the verdict was concerned.
The jury believed that ahy of the wit
nesses for the defense hadaa good a
reputation and was entitled to as much
credence as Robertson. This being the
case, the preponderance of evidence was
against him. It was further explained
that one or two Jurors were against
Grant and Solomoq on general principles
but were finally Induced to look at the
affair as did the others.
"I expected this verdict." said Grant.
"We -fought the case on Its merits and
dtd not try to damage Robertson by
showing his reputation, though ws could
have brought forward many things plac
ing him in unfavorable light had we
so desired. No person has ever ap
pealed to me and been refused aid If the
cause was worthy. I have two children
of my own and I don't want them to go
hungry. If a man's family suffers on
account of his playing at my place I
will help that family. I have SO re
ceipts to prove my course in thfs re
spect In the past. With Robertson It is
different. He has been gambling for 20
or 30 years, and he did not even say a
word to me before ' beginning this
suit." ' ' -'
