DIR. Witter VS.. Wood County,

The REPORTER mentioned the case
OF Thomas Riley against the county
the past week wherein he secured
judgment for $50 and costs, amount
ing in all to more than $3.50. Had
the board acted with ordinary prudence
they could have settled the claim for
less than $4,000. But no. They
rejected the entire claim. The finance
committee of the board slashed Dr.
Writers bills in shameful and unjust
manner. One bill for SS5 in the case
near Lords, on Ten Mile creek-a
moderate bill for the services rendered
was allowed at $55. The second
for $3.50, in the SPONTANEOUSLY case,
was allowed at 5000. The orders
were accepted and an appeal was
taken to the circuit court for the DIFF
ference. The case was tried before a
jury occupying nearly one day. All
the testimony taken was to the effect
that the bills were moderate, less than
would have been charged by some of
the physicians who testified. Messrs.
Arnold and Mauer, the Mansfield
members who were quite conspicuous
at that session Of the board, are quite
severely sensured for the entire trouble
and costs. 1t is claimed they quoted
and misrepresented Drs. Lathrop and
Bulge as to their charges iE similar
work. 1t should have been evident
to each one of the committee, and also
to the board, after the DIR. had fully
explained the matter to them, that the
amounts charged were fair and just.
DR.. Witter has permitted the county
board to cut his bills in the past and
this fact seems to have been about all
the judgment exercised They
expected that he would quietly submit
to the butchery and accept the amount
allowed. The method of allowing
bills at the board is one that needs
reforming. These two cases have cost
Wood county not less than $3.50 more
than was asked or expected. The
Board should be more disposed to
learn what is right that they should
pay for services rendered the people
and be little less tyranical.

Detroit's Turbulent Polacks.

For some time past there has been
trouble in ST. Albert's Polish Catholic
Church, in Detroit, Mich. Serious
charges have been made against the
priest, Father Kolastuski. Sunday,
Bishop Borgess. sent for the books of
the church, which were refused, Father
kolasonski endeayoring to get his con-
gregation to sign a paper expressing
confidence in him. This move precip-
itated trouble, and it was necessary to
call in the police to keep the peace.
Tuesday morning the trouble culmi-
mated in a pitched battle between a
squad of police and several hundred
women of the congregation. Sunday
Father Kolasinski turned over the
books of the church, having been de-
posed by the Bishop. Father Jawors-
Xxi and Dombrowski were put in
temporary charge. Police Captain
Mack Tuesday morning sent dozen
patrolmen to the church to prevent
disturbance. Father Jaworski at
tempted to hold early mass, Tuesday
morning. but the congregation elected
him from the church, locking the
doors after him. On their arrival, the
police were assailed, and one arrest
was made. The crowd was ordered to
disperse, but refused to move unless
the police preceded them. The police
thereupon charged the throng The
women fought desperately, using UNI
brellas and fists vigorously. Sobs and
shouts mingled. While some fought
others knelt on the steps and prayed.
After a hard fight of twenty minutes
the police were victorious
Another scene of tremendous uproar
and excitement occurred Wednesday
morning at St. Albert's Polish Catho-
lie Church. Both masses were drown
ed in yells and screams of women who
packed the church and pelted the
priests with chunks of dry mud,
stones, etc. One of the new priests
was attacked on the steps of the alter
and his priestly robes torn from his
back by Infatuated women. The
priests then feared for their lives, and
surrounded by thirty policemen, ran
full speed across the street to the
priests house, amid showers of stones
and brickbats. Several of the rioters
were arrested by the police.

TURN OUT THE CRANE,
Phil Down the Swings and Restore
Court Square.


Ii Court Square was a ten-acre field it
might be well enough 10 put up swing or
two at the expense OF couple OF hundred
square feet of grass, but when Memphis
has only one little park, whose area may
be measured by inches, il is a shame to
allow it to be kicked up by the roots it is.
But even if it was as big as an Arkansas
plantation, swings would be questionable,
at best. 1t is by no means certain that
swinging is healthful for children, and it
is certainly dangerous to life and limb.
Several little ones have been injured since
the swings were put up, one little fellow,
son Of Mr.. John F. MeCallum, cutting
his mouth so badly by fall that the con
slant attendance of a surgeon for two
weeks was necessary. Several ladies who
began to send their little ones to the
Square when Sergt. Rogers first took
charge, have kept them away since the
swings were put up. Servants are pro-
verbally careless, and the little ones may
"pump" themselves over the tTee-top for
all they care, If their conversation with 2
yellow barber is at all interesting. Let
the swings be removed, turn out the crane.
pull down the clock ard restore the park
to its pristine beauty. The sergeant has
enough to do to keep out improper char
scters and help the grass grow.
