Judge Adams and the Rooster.

good story is being told about the streets on
Judge ]. G. Adams, who it may be remarked, is
an ardent Republican. He was on the election
board at Irvington last Tuesday night, and they
finished the count at daylight, just as the Pan
handle train from the city passed through.
Judge Adams ran frantically out on the platform
and got the morning papers. He tore open the
Journal and greatly to his disappointment
found no rooster there He tried the Sentinel
and there was triumphant representation of
that noble bird. Mr.. Adams did not express his
feelings in words, for words could not do the
subject justice. just then great big Brahma
rooster came strutting deliberately down the
platform, growing as if he got paid for it. This
was more than the Judge could stand and gath
ering up his hands full of stones, he chased that
surprised rooster for quarter of mile, but it
out-winded him and escaped. If he had ever
caught up with it. there would have been
trouble

A Dead Game Eight.

The case of John Bridges, who was tried some
weeks ago for assaulting and attempting to kill
James Barnett, came up in the Criminal Court
yesterday for final decision. and the defendant
was fined $25 and costs. The evidence showed
that the fight was the result of feud of
long standing out in Wayne township. ard when
the two men met they were on opposite sides of
a fence, and each rushed to get at the other,
with drawn revolver For time neither man
dared to attempt to get over the fence and
neither wasted shot for fear he would miss his
man. Finally Barnett began to climb over and
each man had his revolver at the breast of the
other Bridges got the drop and shot Barnett
down, as the latter's revolver snapped and the
cartridge would not explode. Both men were
almost equally to blame for the ARRAY.

reference with each others business dealings
with patrons. When they met at the Bates
House. shortly after dinner yesterday Smith
threatened to crush the life out of IsGrigg, The
fight began at once Isgrigg struck Smith a
terrific blow in the face, and the two clinched
in desperate struggle. When they were
separated both were besmeared with blood, and
they. were so badly wrecked that neither of
them, although placed under arrest, could be
taken to the police station. The bones in Is
grigg's right hand were shattered in several
places from the force Of the blow he had struck
while Smiths nose was badly broken Cash
surety for their appearance in court to answer
to the charge of assault and battery was given

certainly could not at home She also stated
that when he abandoned her and her daughters
he took all the money they had, about $4,000,
and left them no means of support. Judge
Walker further ascertained that Field had mis-
represented his business in Illinois, and tor all
these reasons. the divorce was refused.
