The suits Duane johnson VS.. II. DIN
Perkins, and Duane johnson VS.. Alvin ii.
Williams, were decided IN the Windsor
county court yesterday, Judge James Bar
rett presiding. The action was for the re-
covery of seven barrels of cider which
johnson claimed belonged TO him, six bar
rels of which were stored in the cellar of
B. II. Wooey. and one in that of Edward
johnson, in this village and which Off
GERS Perkins and Williams seized at the
time of the raids year ago. The court
decided that there was justification for the
search warrants and the seizure, and that
the cider was forfeit. The case was tried
Wednesday by the court, it being decided
that there were no facts to be submitted TO
the jury.
Charlie Ross abductors have many sins
to answer for, and not among the least of
these is the great anxiety they have caused
to timid females. Since that time, the adj
vent of gypsy is enough to throw a who.e
female community into flutter of excite
ment, a fever of apprehension. Iester-
day one of these wondering specimens OF
humanity, an old bag, carrying paske'
excited terrible commotion near the cor
ner of Grove and Williams streets. She
had seated herself quietly on stone, pre-
sumably to rest herself, and all the little
children of the neighborhood were gather
ing near to obtain closer look OF Thu
queer old daughter of Eve when some
timid feminine seeing the ''situalion" and
snuffing danger from altar, sounded al
alarm. Oh, what a rush there was to
snatch the infants from impending doom
The sight was ludicrous in the extreme
and as one watched the mothers and other
grasping the little ones, he could only b.
reminded of anxious hens gathering thu
little chicks at the approach of a thunde
storm. The children were not stolen, AM
the aged gypsy retired with her basket
minus even the poor, cold pieces, and tn
guardians of endangered youth subsidized o
their laurels.
