CONTEMPT OF COURT.
Cook and CahilI Catch the Censuro O.
Judge Wylie.


Judge Wylie.
Quite an exciting scene took place yester-
day morning in the criminal court room dur
ing the progress of the trial of James d.
Donnelly, charged with keeping an unli-
censed bar. Mr.. Daniel Cahill, for the de-
fendant, asked postponement for the reason
that Col. William A. Cook, the senior counsel
in the case, was unwell, and could not attend.
The court refused the request, and in q few
moments Col. Cook came into court. During
Mr. CahilPs opening address to the Jury he
took occasion to ospeak of the responsibility of
the defendant, and that his father before him
had kept the same place of business for up
ward of ten years, and that this case savored
more of persecution than of just prosecu-
ton. He then went OH to add that it WAS
commenced and kept up through the efforts
Of man who was the president of bank
and of a railway, and of what was called q

Cook rising from his seat commenced Your

said the court. "Take your seat, SIR" Col.
Cook continuing, said, 81 only wish to sub.
nit to your honor proposition of law" 81
will not hear you, sir, said the judge, appar-
emily at q white heat "Is it proper" con-
tnued the colonel who was still standing
that an attorney should be thus sat down
upon?" Judge Wylie here, calling excitedly
for the marshal. said "Place this man under
arrest" The court fines you $50, sir. You
are to stand committed until tho fine is
paid"
The deputy marshal here took Col. Cook
from the court room to the marshaps Office
In the meantime Mr.. Cahill had given his
check for the amount. and the court ordered
Col. Cooks release. The latter sent word in
that he did not wish to be released in that
manner. Judge Wylie said he would take
no further action in the matter. After q
short interval Col. Cook returned, and occu-
pied his place at the attorneys desk, but
thereafter took no active part in the case.
The trial then proceeded. The fact was de-
veloped that the commissioners had accepted
deposit from the defendant when he made
the application for his license, he to have the
privilege of selling until his application
should be acted on. Judge Wylie expressed
his disapproval of such practice. The jury
returned verdi let Of not guilty.

Marrow Escape From sunocntion.

Mr.. F. II. Hawkins, clerk in the pension
office, living in Georgetown, not making his
appearance at the usual hour yesterday morn
ing, the inmates of his house made some
investigation of the cause. They found Mr..
Hawkins and wife still in bed aud their room
full of gas from tho latrobe. They immedi-
ately raised all the windows and, by tho aid
of restoratives, brought Mr.. and Mrs. Haw-
Bins to consciousness. This was only accom-
plished after great efforts, and theetfects OF
the suffocation are still felt Itwas a narrow
escape from horrible death.

A Maine Mans Wildcat Encounter.

One day, toward the latter part of the
afternoon, / was coming from Sedgwick
on foot and alone. When about half
way down the hill above Black s school
house heard very low, peculiar kind
of a purring sound, with an occasional
low, swapping noise at the same time.
which seemed to be very near the road.
The land on the Brooksville side of the
road was quite thickly wooded with
spruce and fir trees, the limbs growing
near the ground. After lingering a
minute or two and locating the sound as
near as I was able to, stopped low in
the road, and, looking under the
branches of the trees, [ saw a large
wildcat, some fifteen or twenty feet
from the road, very busily engaged with
something SO buried up in the snow
that couldn't tell what it was. Not
really expecting to get near the animal.
I went back few rods and succeeded,
after some trouble, in getting small
stake from the fence on the opposite
side of the road, and started for the
wildcat. By creeping very easy through
the snow | got within five or six feet of
him before he saw me. | saw that he
was very busy eating rabbit he had
Just killed. As soon as he saw me he
jumped into the limbs of small spruce
directly over his head, with the rabbit
in his mouth. BY this time was with
In reach of him with my stake, and
struck at him through the limbs of the
tree, which, however, were so thick
that, although I hit him on the back, I
didn't seem to hurt him. But he drop
ped the rabbit and turned toward me
with a savage growl. He looked
wicked, and put myself into posture
of defense, and none to soon, for he inn
mediately leaped from the tree directly
at me. was ready for him, and met
him with my stake square in the fore
head. 1t dropped him in the snow, and
broke my stake short off, leaving the
longest part in my hands. Before he
could recover himself / got my foot on
him and got in a half dozen more good
licks on his head that finished him. /
dragged him home (about mile dis
tant), having to stop many times in the
road for people to examine my trophy,
for he attracted considerable notice.
Thenext day took his ears to the town
treasurer, who paid me $3.50 for them,
the town at that time paying that
amount of bounty for every wildcat
killed within the limits of the town.

Two rival clothing firms of Cleve-
land determined to shake that conserv-
alive town up with their gigantic
schemes for patronage. They offered
extravaganza prizes to purchasers of
clothing, and finally one hitched q fine
horse in the store and announced that
the animal, together with house and
lot, would be given away to customers
at a drawing to occur next February.
The other firm came promptly forward
with house completely furnished.
These tactics were not at all to the lik-
ing OF the merchants who sit in quiet
waiting for patrons, and they began an
agitation that resulted in an Indictment
Of their enterprising competitors for

flaw in the indictment the jury found

Hens Away Ahead.

1t Is not generally known that the hen
is cock of the walk, and yet she appears to
be. Statistics for 1882 show that the value
of the poultry produced in America ex-
ceeds the value of either hay, wheat, cot
ton or dairy products. The figures for that
year are: Wheat. $4ss ,ooO,O 900; hay, $780,
100000; cotton, SAC, 1000 900; dairy pro-
ducts, $254 900 900; poultry, $3.50 100000.
Notwithstanding these large figures poultry
is about the only product we do not send
abroad, but find market sfor entirely at
home. France and England send large
quantities of eggs to this country, for
which there is always ready market. In
1882 we received 5000, OGO dozen from
foreign countries, and still we are not
satisfied. Let the hen be respected. Gin
