Correspondence OF the Register
-. CLAIRsyILLE, June 3.
Court is engaged now in trying the
SANDER suit Of Miss Rcbecca J. Bolon
against Richard III. McEndree. The
parties live in Goshen Township and
are in good standing, | believe. The
case is a nasty one, and much OF the
testimony would be VI fit for publica-
ton. The trial began on last Thursday
and will probably continue during the
greater part Of this week, Public SYM
pathy appears to be principally on the
side Of Miss Bolon, who is rather hand
some and intelligent young lady. She
is a school teacher, and was accused by
McEndree with teaching immortality in
her school, hence the suit for SANDER.
The plaintiff sues for 5000 damages.
In the case of Richard CrOzier vs.. the
city of Bellaire, the jury rendered ver-
dict awarding the plaintiff SO damages.

proper ordinances in order that the in
stitutiOn should be- made success. The
Council claim that they did this 50 far
rs the statute OF the State would allow
them 10 90, but CrOzier saws they didn't,

has been tried three times, and now an
effort will be made for q fourth trial
