Friday last brought before Commis
soner Gamble for hearing. Tie
onlv witness examined was Mrs. Gill
bert, wife of the ether defendant. She
testified substantially that Buck iirst
visited their house about a year ago,
and that during that visit he instructed
her husband in the art Of making spu-
rious coin. She also testified that he
helped her husband at that time, and
"inshed" some Of the pieces after they
came out Of the moulds. The last visit
was made in the fall Of last year. Her
husband was not at home, but Buck
save her a counterfeit fvedollar bill,
telling her it was for ner husband. lhe
defendant was required to give bail IN
the sum of $4,000 for trial at the next
term of Court, and in default was com
mitted to Jail. We think the bail Is
too low, as "Boss" may possibly find
some one to bail him, in which case he
would certainly Jump" the bail, fold
bis tent like the Arab, and silently
steal away in some other part Of the
country.
"A case of assault and battery was
tried before Esq. Knox, on Saturday
last, G.. w. Gents being the prosecutor
and VIM. Fletcher, a colored man who
works for David Hunter, the defend
ant. 1t appears that there had been
bad blood between the parties for some
time, and on Friday last they met.
After some preliminary remarks on
, both sides, Fletcher told Gents to "set
y'r props, fur I'm goin' fur your" We
we're not informed as to whether Gents
set his props or not, but Fletcher went
for him, and Gents went for warrant
> first and then for constable, who duly
armed with a warrant, went for Fletch
c er. Fletcher went for counsel ard Sc
y did the other party. The jury brough
in verdict of guilty against Fletch
e er, and recommended him to the mere,
Of the court. This mercy was extend
ed in the shape of $50 fine and costs o
suit. The costs were S13, which, will
- the fine and counsel fees, would pul
about $40 out Of Fletcher's pocket.
The Derrick is down on Fores
County because it voted "for license,
and lets no opportunity PISS to thro'
mud at it. A recent number sal
nf . "there probably isn't a copy of I'll
" " Bible in Forest---that county voted ft
license" Then when telling of I'll
capture of Boss" Buck, the Derric
&C. says, Gle lives over the line in Cla
u, u, ion county, for the reason, we suppos
III that he would be ashamed to live
I" such County as Forest" Now v
ne submit an old adage: "Birds of
nu feather flock together" The expl
nation is easy: there are no birds of b
Ie. feather in Forest County. We su
ice pose it is for this reason that we a
IDS not burdened with Bishop. His pla
of is "just over the line, in Clarion cou
iel ty."
