WITH OlIlCer
Jackson on Saturday afternoon arrested J..
c. Peterson for burglary. About l o'clock
that afternoon H. C. Sheldon, night clerk
- le international Hotel, awoke from his
slumbers and saw a strange man in his
room, with his hand in the pockets of one
of SheldOn's garments, as the latter alleges.
The intruder was seized and turned over to
jackson, and a charge of burglary entered
against him at the station-house. The
prisoner declares that he had made an ap-
p0intment to call upon a woman, who
designated the location of her room. He
went 10 what he supposed was the apart
ment, found the door ajar, entered and was
leaning against the doorjamb when Mr..
Sheldon awoke and discovered him. He
made reference, as to his character, to sew
eral responsible parties, told where he lived
and accounted for himself generally in a
straightforward name
JUDGMENT AFFIRMED. - The judgment
and order appealed from in the case OF L.
c. Chandler VS.. the Peoples Savings Bank
has been affirmed by the Supreme Court.
The case involves mortgaged premises
valued at $S,435 81, but the point in con-
t~roversy before the Supreme Court was the
AAdl1ltA4A = AldLIAA VI AlALtANoN Oh vi ANAhA
monthly balances from 1865 to 1878,
amounting to $2,710. In a former appeal
in 1884 the Supreme Court gave the plain
tiff a new trial to enable him to prove that
these monthly balances were interest bear
ing. His counsel on the occasion of the
new trial insisted on trying the entire case
anew, which was denied and judgment en-
tered against him; hence this last appeal.
