jim 1864 the copperhead democrats
of the North chalked on the doors and
windows the magic word peace" But

A suit was tried before Justice Halli-
ger last Saturday which elected more
than ordinary interest between the St.
Paul Railway Company and Charles
Clifford, driver of the trotting horse
Little Mack" After our fair the horse
was shipped to Boscobel under an ar
rangement, as Clifford claims with the
company, that freight should be paid but
one way. On the return to Watertown
the horse was removed from the cars
without any further communication with
the st. Paul railroad by Clifford, and
driven to Oshkosh. The sheriff followed
and arrested him at that city for larceny.
Clifford and the horse were brought back.
But the railway company failing to sus-
tain its charge against Clifford, he was
discharged, The report is that action
has been commenced against the st. Paul
company by Clifford for false imprison-
ment. Damages are laid at $4,000.
