\i THE LAKE SHORE NEWS, FRIDAY, MARCH 5, 1920 TWO VILLAGES AGOG OVER FLAGMEN FUED Chawing Tobacco Row of Railroad Employes Aired in Court* of Winnatka and Wilmattaâ€" All Sattlad New Trier High Notes It started in Winnetka and a Wil- tnette jury put the finishing touches to the interesting feud between A. S. Vickery and Stanley Gonyo, flagmen at the Oak street crossing of the Chicago and Northwestern railroad. And the final action to prevent a re- newed outburst of smouldering en- mity came this week in the trans- ferring of Vickery to the Elm street crossing. Here's how it all came about, ac- cording to momentous litigation pro- ceedings filed in three justice courts by their respective attorneys, Messrs. R. H. C. Miller and Carlton Prouty: Vickery is a hale and hearty Irish- man, suffering from a weak back; Gonyo's ancestry is harder to trace and he possesses one good leg and a wooden one. When relieving each other for crossing duty they saw each other for a period of less than a minute at a time. Yet they managed to quarrel, said the attorneys. Due to the shortcomings of a wooden leg and a weak back they wouldn't fight. But their ennui took the form of beautiful, descriptive and convincing profanity. When the vials of one's Wrath were drained, the other, it is alleged, would renew the discourse with freshly revived epithets. And so it went on until last week when Vickery is alleged to have ex- pectorated great quantities of to- bacco juice on articles which Con- yo hoped to use in his work. This was embarrassing to the latter gentleman, and when he protested in his original way, he was haled be- fore Justice C. T. Northrop on a charge of violating the peace of the community. The case went to Justice Byron A. Nelson, who dismissed it with advice to the men to cultivate more appropriate forms of expres- sion. Whereupon the triumphant Gonyo became the complainant in a new case against the jocular Irishman, bringing htm again before Justice Nelson on a vast outlay of charges, including verbal assault and the keep- ing of a "private stock" in the crossing shanty by Vickery. With scores of interested villagers in their wake, defendants, complain- ant, and attorneys invaded the offi- ces of Justice Mickey in Wilmette, after Vickery had secured a change of venue. Then Gonyo, through his attorney, gathered together enough Wilmette citizens to serve as a jury. For more than an hour the at- torneys displayed great volumes of legal paraphernalia dealing with the propriety of expectorating chewing tobacco on one's personal property and the jurists yawned. Then the jury went into session and returned a verdict freeing Vickery of the charges, with explanatory remarks that they thought the two flagmen had expended enough fees to create numerous feuds. Gonyo has a new relief man to associate with now and Vickery is happily contented in his new haunts. MORALâ€"All's well that ends well. Principal of the school Eston V. Tubbs is back with a few new ideas and several radical modifications of some of his old ones. He told the students, on returning from the Na- tional Educational Association Con- vention at Cleveland, that his chief aim now will be the development of leaders to take hold of the many un- filled positions in industries in this country. The students received a mild shock when the contents of the second let- ter of a series which the school paper is soliciting for the betterment of the student body, was read, and warned the students of the pitfalls waiting to receive the proverbial liar. The writer of the epistle withheld his name, but said he was a local police officer. First calls will be made for a 1920 baseball squad. Baseball has been taboo since the start of the war.

Last Friday, Oliver E. Hinsdell, actor and dramatic reader, rendered the famous play, "Abraham Lincoln," in the assembly hall. The play, written by John Drinkwater, which made a sensation in London, was loudly applauded by the student aud- ience. Mr. Hinsdell also rendered several humorous readings. New Trier points with pride to the fact that three of their graduatesâ€" Bellows, Calhoun and Ligareâ€" are members of the Northwestern uni- versity basketball team. Two others â€"McKenzie and Pattersonâ€"are the mainstays of the Purple freshman team.

Pfcnfit \W v' Occasionally there is no one on the line when^ you answer your telephone. This may be due to several causes: You may have been slow in answering and the person calling, possibly having grown impa- tient, has hung up. The calling person, suddenly conscious of hav- ing called the wrong number, has replaced the receiver on the hook without waiting for a response. Your line is looped through many sections of switchboards so that it is available to a multitude of operators. The operator who answers your calls knows nothing about in- coming calls to your telephone. If the calling person hangs up and is discon- nected, your line is automatically shifted to the calling position and the operator asks what number you want. When you reply that your bell rang, her request that you "Excuse it, please," seems an admission that we have been at fault, but frequently this is not the case.
