The plaintiff claimed damages to the amount of $5,000 for a libelous statement which the defendant had published in the Times.

The article stated that plaintiff would discontinue his study of law and lecture on the' subject of "Marriage Reform." Prof Summer- field presided and the case for the plaintiff was ably conducted by Messrs. Hobbs and Nelson; for the defense Messrs. Wade and Harring- ington. 1 .1 1 The Plaintiff claimed that the statements made in the article were untrue, and that his feelings had been greatly wounded by the ridi cule of friends and relatives. He tes titled that he had received from 'a very dear lady friend a letter which had caused him much sorrow.

The defence relied mainly upon their at tempt to prove the truth of the state ments made in the article. To this end witnesses were introduced who testified that plaintiff had been study ing on the subject for- -some time, and had stated that he would deliver a series of lectures on the subject. Eloquent pleas were made by the counsel on both sides, and the case was submitted to the jury about 10 o'clock. After due consideration a verdict was rendered in favor of the defendant. Our petition accomplished its desired result.

The 22nd was given us as a holiday. Thursday while the acuity were considering the petition in room 11, the students amused themselves with waging a miniature "battle of the overshoes." When he faculty emerged from the council chamber the halls presented a scene of wild confusion. Over-shoes and rubbers were flying in every direc tion through the air or lying around promiscuously on the floor. The Profs, at first looked astonished, then as if a remembrance of the college days of youth flitted across their memories, a smile lighted up their countenances, and when the an nouncement of a holiday was made, all else was drowned in the cry of "Rock-chalk, Jay-hawk, K. in which it is said even some of the professors joined.
