They Fight il Out,

Mr.. Jas. Calvin and Mr.. Conway have
past five or six weeks, on account Of uncom
plimentary language freely used by both on
different occasions, and this feeling has
been intensified on the part of Calvin by Mr.
COnway's appearing and obtaining judgment
for Judge Locy, of La Sale, against him OF
an old account before Almond Thomas.
Judgment had been entered against Calvin
some months since, but, on the day when the
execution was returnable, the page of Judge
Weeks docket, upon which the case was
recorded, was mysterieusly torn out, and
the affair was allowed to lapse. In the last
case, however, he, CALVIN was compelled
TO schedule, and when Mr. Conway saw the
papers, he filed an affidavit that Calvin
owned property other than embodied in the
sworn statement, and proceeded at once to
get out warrants to have him taken before
the County court and sent to Jail for debt,
he Conway to pay his board in the has
tile until he should see fit 10 make out an
other schedule.
This Infatuated Calvin, and he is alleged
to have said in substance that he would
break Mr. Conway in several sections on
sight Mr.. Conway boards at Whites hotel,
and was quietly standing against the coun
ter of the Office, with his back to the door,
in conversation with the clerk, on Thursday
morning after breakfast, when Calvin came
in on tip toe and sneaking up behind him
dealt him heavy blow on the back Of the
head. Mr.. Conway was half dazed, but
managed to grapple with his asssilant, who
was attempting to escape.
Finding escape impossible, Calvin crap
pied with Conway, but as the latter is the
stronger of the two, he managed, although
his head was in chancery, to vigorously
pound the ledge upon the stomach, at
which the brave sire of long list of Gal
wins howled dismally. He was also struck
in other tender spots, and departed up the
streets as soon as released at two.minute |
gait in demoralized condition. He went to
Chicago on an afternoon train to have some |
alleged injuries attended to.

JUDGMENT AGAINST BONDsMEN.
The Cases of the People Against samuel
w. Raymond's BOndsmen Settled.

Ever since the criminal Indictments against
the county treasurer were nolle pressed, the
counsel for the bondsmen Of Mr.. Ray nond
Messrs. Duncan O'Conor 4 Gilbert, Mayo 6
Widmer and Fullerton, have been investiga
ting the alleged shortage in the treasurer
office, and negotiating with the peoples
attorneys, Messrs. Moloney & Stead, suc
Brewer, in view Of effec,ing a settlement Of
the case without unnecessary expense and
delay. To further this project, q statement
of facts was agreed upon between both
parties, admitting a shortage Of $l7,6sl SO,
but disputing an alleged amount Of interest,
So, 400, due the county on a note for $40 900
given to the First National Bank in 1882.
In that year the treasurer borrowed $40 900
from the bank, paying eight per cent interest
thereon during his term of Office, which
amounted to 1920. As the legal interest Of
the state. where no agreement has been made
between the parties is but six per cent, the
county attorney ask ed only for that, making
total Of $2,400. This was claimed to be q
wrong charge by the defendants attorneys,
but Judge Stipp decided that it must be paid,
thus increasing the shortages to 500, OSl ,55.
IN DETAIL.
The shortage in MIR. Raymond's accounts
as county collector amounted to gross total
of $l2, 80, snd as county treasurer to
$6,6l023, distributed over period Of nine
years, which is as far back as the limit Of
the law allows recovery.
These judgements effect the following
gentlemen or estates in vari Gus amounts:

On all the judgments rendered, thirty days
has been given the defendants TO file bills of
exceptions as to the SS,977.62 paid Mr..
by the First National Bank as
interest on money on deposit during those
nine years, which they claim does not belong
to the county, but to Mr.. Raymond, as he
having given bonds for the money, had
right to employ it as he wished, providing it
was always on hand when needed by the
county. This position is strongly contro-
vested by the county attorney, who claims
