ing account of tilt between David S.
Terry and G. j. Kinds SIN the argument
on motion for new trial in one of the

Saturday evening, Judge Terry, in the
closing argument, accused s. j. Kinds,
attorney for Flack, of misrepresenting the
evidence in the case. Kinds denied that
he had done so, and Terry insisting that he
had, Kinds persisted in his denial, where
upon Terry attempted to strike Kinds, who
was at that time sitting in chair, and in
attempting to evade the blow Kinds tipped
the chair over backwards, and was then

this unprofessional act Judge Terry was
fined S25. and Kinds, for insisting that the
difficulty should be settled by further hos.
tilities, was also fined S25 for contempt.
Both fines were paid.
