manufacturer, was presented for the nomina-
ton by Charles H. Fowler, of East Haven.

made by his political opponents that he was
only business man and not legislator, he
held up the Hon. James E. English as an
example of the plain business man. Mr..
Fowler was followed by MI Davis OF dao-

capacity with people hurrying to advania-

In the vicinity of Filth avenue and

A PECULIAR CASE.

An Interesting Law Point Which Excites
the People of Arkansaw.
An appeal in a rather peculiar case
has just gone before the Supreme Court
of Arkansaw. John Bogworth, who fo1
many years lived in the village of Rip,
vile, Washington County, Ark, came
to Little Rock some time ago and enter
ed into business. Recently he went
back to his native village, having re-
placed his slouch hat for rather high
crowned Derby. When the companions
of his youth saw him wearing the hat
they provided themselves with bean
shooters and began to shoot holes
through it. Finally, one buck-shot,
ranging triile too low, plowed fur
row across the top of Johns head.
Bogworth had the fellow arraigned be-
fore a justice of the peace,
''Is this the hat you wore??" the jus.
tice asked.
"Yes, sir"
"And the buck-shot that made this
hole is the one that pIowed you, eh?"
"Yes, your honor"
Tha Justice, after few moments re-
Election, said at is the opinion of this
court that the plaintiff in this case laid
himself liable, and that if he had not
pulled his hat down so far, the back
shot would have simply gone through
the hat without hitting him."
An appeal to the Circuit Court re,
suited in confirmation of the decision
of the court below, and then an appeal
to the Supreme Court was taken. The
final result is awaited with much in
terest. IrdUeler.
