SUES FOR HIS WAGES
And Gets Into Serious Trouble over the
Matter.

And Gets Into Serious Trouble Over the
Matter.
Yesterday afternoon a rather peculiar
case was tried before Justice w. ii. DAVIS.
1t appears that ''Fritzy" Burkhard, whose
real name is John, and who works in the
Whitaker mill, sued the company for
wages due him amounting to about 90
When the case was first called it WAS
postponed by the Justice until
Yesterday, when it came up Tor
hearing. ]. ID. Elson, ESD, represented
the plaintiff and q. X. G. Allen, Esq, the
defense. The Evidence i'll the case dis
closed the fact that young John Burkhard
had on the 25th day of September drawn
the wages of an employe whose name Is
precisely the same as his. The amount
was $ls.05, which the paymaster gave Nun
by mistake OH account of the names being
the same, while his pay only amounted to
ST. 80. This mistake was not discoV-
cred until John Burkhard, ST., called ut
the Office for his money. Whei the
Younger Burkhard was approached about
the matter he claimed that he had only
drawn 10, having taken care to destroy
the other envelope.
The company still held on to the S4.9O,
and permitted young Burkhard to work on
uutil his earnings amounted to $685. be-
sides the S. 80, but Burkhard, Jr., then
quit. As above stated, young
Burkhard entered suit for $3.50, the
amount of his wages. After hearing the
evidence the Justice, feeling satisfied that
the plaintiff had received knowingly the
wages of John Burkhard, ST., issued q
warrant for him, charging him with larceny:
Constable Love arrested the prisoner and
the Justice held him in the sum OF $500 for
his appearance on Oct. %, his father be-
coming his bondsmen.

THE LAST RESORT.

The Republican leaders seem to nave
come to the conclusion that the only
chance they have in the Congressional
fight lies in the lavish use of money, and
they have accordingly taken the head out
of one of the Idols bar'ls and parcelled
ont the contents where it will do the most
good. In this county a number of gener-
ally impecunious wire-pullers have sud
denly and mysteriously b cen "staked,"
and they are working the snap the for all
it is worth. Probably forty or fifty of this
class have been supplied with beer money,
and small notes to be expended in other
WAYS, and there has consequently been a
sudden revival of interest among them,
and a good deal of rushing to and fro in
their frantic haste to secure the lacking
votes before the now rapidly approaching
election day. There also seems to be an
idea that something in the way of enthu-
siasm can be stirred up for the meeting
Monday evening, and yesterday and last
night the lieutenants were busy seeing
people, and making arrangements in their
peculiar way for the reception of the Big
Chief. When the modest and u~nassuming
One Dollar Bill is called upon to takes hand
in a political contest there is something
the matter with the Cause which invites
its entrance into the fray.
