CONNECTICUT JUSTICE.

In 1858 Minot Banks, of Bridge
port Connecticut, borrowed 1922
from Moses Ogden. For several
years he was unable to pay the in
terest. and the amount grew until
in 1877 Ogden required Banks and
bis sister to give joint note for
$500. In 1878 Ogden sued them
on the note and got judgment for
$3.50, and at the same time brought
another judgment of Sl60 against
Banks. To prevent q sale of their
property, Banks and bis sister deed
ed their little homestead, valued at
81, 900, to Ogden, leaving them 10
possession and with the right Of
redemption. Last year Ogden ejec
ted them, and because they could
not pay the costs of the summary
process by which they were put ouI
of their house, had them, in Novem'
Der, committed to Bridgeport Jail
The amount of cost was only $l7
Mr.. Banks is "a years of age and
his sister rs. They are still in jail,
and Mr.. Banks is i'll with typhoid
fever. Representative Rodgers

leu. House of Delegates to the case

HOW A GRAIN GROWER KILLS
DUCKS.
From the Gridley Herald.

The wild ducks are more destruot-
i've to grain this winter than are
the geese. At least that is the com
plant of the ranchers. While the
geese feed more or less during the
day, the ducks confne their depre-
dations to the night, when the dark.
uess prevents the herders from sue
cessfully warning against them
Charles Chapman has been greatly
annoyed by ducks, and his grain has
suffered to a considerable extent.
But Charlie has hit upon so expe-
dent that is not only protecting his
grain, but threatening to annihslate
the duck family He stretched five
stands of barbed fence wire from the
top of his barn to post twenty five
feet high, placing the wires about
twenty ioches apart. A hare trig-
ger shot gun, loaded, was fastened
on the side of the post, at the top.
The muzzles pointing along the
wires. From one of the latter a
small wire ran to the trigger of the
gun. This trap was set on Thurs
day night. The wires were only
thirty -four feet in length.
About two o'clock Friday morn
ing Charlie was awakened by the
discharge of the quo. Then follow
ed a chorus of 'quacks', He went
out. On the ground in the vicinity
of the wires, he found twenty>three
ducks. Nineteen were dead, the
remainder crippled SO badly that
they cOuldu't fly. Ten of the lot
bad been struck by the shot from
the gun. The remainder had flew
against the wires, the shock killing
them. He reloaded the gun and put
up one of the wires which had been
looseued from the pole. Between
8 and 4 O'Clock the same morning
he was agais walked up, but didn''
90 out. When he arose In the
morning he picked up thirty seven
dead ducks making total of sixty
killed during the night He was 10
town on Friday, and told as that be
intended erecting at least 800 yards
of the trap on his grain fields.

Parties returning from Jackson
court on Friday last, came across a
wagon in the road, containing a
trunk broken open, and by it's side
lay dead mule, with q horrible
bulle. hole throgh it's head. Search
was made for the owner of the wag-
on, but owing to the lateness of the
hour it was given up without any~
thing further being discovered
Search was again made on Satur-
day and at late hour in the even
ing resulted in the finding of a dead
man about fifty yards from the wsg
on, in the woods, covered up closely
with leaves. His body aud face was
horribly gashed up, so much so as to
render it unrecognizable. No one
has been able to find out as to who
was the unfortunate but it is believ-
ed that he was a stranger in the
county. No clue as to the perpe'
traitor of the deed.
