by getting married at the eleventh hour,
Judge ellison having performed the GER
emony. The spectators at the court,
house who were attracted with t,oe er-
pectation of hearing spiov case were ac-

Some douh.. has recently prevailed as
TO whether the abusive language section
of the revised statutes is applicable to
cases arising under it in this city. A law
was passed last winter which provided
that the provision of the statutes should
not apply to cities whose charters make
provision on the subject. Whether a
certain provision of our city charter
covers the same ground as that contem-
plated by the revised statutes was the
matter in question. Judge ellison de-
cided in the negative and the two abusive
language cases cases on the calendar
were in accordance with the judges
ruling noted for trial.
