QUEER DECISIONS.
Prisoners Who were Saved by Some little
Legal TeehnicaIity.
[Cor. Cleveland Plalndealer.l


Judge McHcnry, of Des Moines, Ia,
lately acquitted a prisoner charged with
selling intoxicating liquors on the ground
that the indictment did not state whether
the offense was committed i. c.. or A. D.
1886.
This calls to mind several queer de-
cisions that have fallen under my notice.
The first was the Indictment of a man by
the Eame Of Hoyle for selling liquor con-
trary to law.
Judge Jackson, lately an attorney of
Cleveland, now the president Of a New
Mexico gold mining company, at that
time common pleas judge acquitted Hoyle
on the ground that the inlictment did not
show that the otYense was committed in
the county in which the defendant re-
sided, while the saloon in which the
offense was committed was directly across
the street from the courthouse, in easy
speaking distance Of His Honor on the
bench. But the most quaint of all de-
cisions was that Of Judge Pillars, Of
Tifin, o. All who know the Judge pro-
nounce him unquestionably the queer
est, quaintcst, yet, withaI, the most in
t~eIligent and Lest educated judge in Cen
trial Ohio. That he has a vein Of humor in
his makeup and appreciated ''the draw
ing Of the long bow" can readily be be-
lieved from the following:

which Pillars sat as iulL", Il man by the

MAKING A LIVING.


Tho Latest Fad Of a paartette Who Live
Entirely Upon Their Wits.
\ reporter came across an ingenious
scheme the other day, which was being
worked, with considerable success in
the country towns of Illinois, -Four
fellows composed the business partner
ship. Some bright morning they de-
scend upon the peaceful country vii
lage and soon the streets are flooded
with circulars announcing that Prof.
John Smith will deliver q lecture that
evening on 1.-The Shakers, Their Rcli-
gion, Habits and Peculiaritios.' There
is nothing new in the idea of 4 lecture;
but the circular goes on to say that the
lecturer was adopted at an early age
by this peculiar people, and finally be-
came an elder among them; that a
genuine Shaker dance will be performed
and that Prof. Jones, Brown and Rob
inson-uneNcellcd artists in their way
will sing plantation melodies, with
guitar, banjo and tamborine accom-
paniment. This is quite in the beaten
track; but the final announcement
catches all eyes. Prizes will be given
to the LATEST man, the prettiost girl,
the most popular married woman and
the homliest man, the prizes to be
awarded according to the popular
vote. at ten cents q vote. OF course
every body turns out, including the
young men with their best girls. The
lecture is stuff cribbed from the ency-
clopedia, the Shaker dance /, a trayes-
ty on any thing in the heavens above
or the earth beneath, and the planta-
ton melodies are not much better.
Then comes the voting. The cheap,
snowy prizes are exhibited from the
platform, where distance lends cnchant-
mcnt. Some enthusiastic youth casts
u vote for a village belle. Another
chap starts a rival beauty, and the cOn-
test crows interesting. At this juucturo
some village loafcr, hired for the pur.
pose by the lecturer and his partners,
steps up and casts a heavy vote for a
colored woman. This knocks the boys
silly for 4 moment and then they join
forces and proceed to outvote the
latest candidate for popularity. The
upshot OF the matter is that the cOlOrtd
woman is beaten, but only after the
boys have expended their last dime.
The prizes arc then awarded and for a
tffty-cent album tic schumcro taxa in
any where from twenty TO forty
dollars in dimes, to say nothing of the
vote on the other prizes, Oi course
they lose no time in getting ont Of
town. The country boy may b. slow
to see that he has been yictimiEe;l, but
when his eyes arc. opened he is apt to
use vigorous measures and the lecturer
amt his partners are well aware Of the
fact. Next day the same programme is
repeated in another town, and, barring
q rough experience now and then,
when their scheme is seen through. the
quartcttc make an easy and comfor-
table living. - Chicago Tribune,

A Western Mans Way.

A Western Mans Way.
A singular affair, in which an injured hua'
band, instead of publishing the destroyer OF
his home, gives him the beautiful wife of his
youth, has just transpited through the
friends of the injured man. Four years ago
Harry Dorsey, travelling salesman, when
stopping at the village of Oneonta, n. y,
met pretty Maud Baker on the evening OF
her graduation from the local academy.
They became deeply enamored with each
other but her father, prominent citizen OF
the town, objectiDg to the suit, Miss Maud
ran away, met and married Dorsey at Sc
dalia, Mo. The escapade being forgiven,
the couple returned to Oneonta and lived
very happily until the unsuspecting husband
introduced into the family circle his hand
some travelling companion, Tom Z. Sorrelle,
who reuuited the kindness by endeavorlng
to win the affection of the young wife.
Dorsey, to escape the wiles of the oily
tongued rascal, fled two years ago to
Wichita, and by his industry had soon &C,
cumulated enough to purchase a little home.
Here they lived happy aud contented
until Sorrelle, much reduced in clrcum-
stances appeared in the city as al actor with
small show, found his old friend ana I'M
mediateIy renewed his gallantry with great
persistence. This continued until Sunday
evening, when the irate husband, driven
to desperation, fired several shots as the
rascal was Sinking away from his house.
Sorrele, now thoroughly frightened, remain
cd in bis room for some time and could beln-
duced to grant Dorsey an interview only
upon the assurance of being unframed.
When the latter did come to his quarters,
he inquired:
"Do you love my wife ?"
"Yes, }" was the reply.
stake her, then, and GO away from here
to where l may never see you. You have
stolen her love from me. Now take her !;
but warn you if you abuse or ill-treat her
will kill you if must go to the end OF the
world to do So"
After this strange speech he returned to
his house, told his wife what he had done,
commanded her to pack her trunk, babe her
farewell and sent her to Sorrelle. When
these circumstances became known the
friends of Dorsey became very indignant,
and if Sorrelle had been found he might
have Jared i'll in their hands; but before
anything could be done he had fled with the
erring woman.
