the case OF Sylvester Mayhem use OF j. Hor-
man Smith against Christian Rupert. It will
be remembered that this was an action for dam.
ages laid at $4,000, alleged to have been sustain
cd by MAYHEM from debris falling on him in

new front was being placed. The case was
tried in the Circuit Court and verdict for

and the amount of damages was raised TO S3 500
1t..W1n be remembered that while this case was
pending before Judge Macarthur an attempt
was made TO have the plaintiff arrested In the
court room, and Mr.. A. E. l.. Reese, Sheriff
Rltcble OF ?. g. Co., and Officer Howell were
sent to jail for contempt OF court IN conse-
quence OF 1t; Messrs. Birney and Birney and
woodbury. Wheeler were the counsel for plaia-
I'LL, and 1t is understood they took the case on
a contingent fee, but took no action. IT now
appears that one day last week (ThurSday} the
pia1nt1n assigned the whole amount Of the judg-
ment to Smith, and this being put on record on
saturday the counsel are cut out. Subsequently
