The Eighteenth District report was pre-
pared but had not been filed.
When the Fifth Civil District was
reached il was found to be most uncivilly
at loggerheads. Justice Barry read a re-
port signed by himself ard Justice Garvin,
recommending the appointment OF Mr..
James Monahan and Peter Morris Us over
seers.
Justice Winters read minority report
substituting the name of John German
Tor that OF Monahan. Petitions were also
read in favor OF both sides, ana the argu-
ments OF Justices Barry and Winters
aroused considerable interest. Justice
Minters's speech was somewhat severe on
Mr.. Monahan.
Capt. Cunningham, who was outside Of
the railing, arose and denounced the ut
terances OF Justice Winters emphatically
as being untrue.
Justice Winters continued to reilerate
his statement, and Capt Cunningham in
terrupted again and denounced the state
ment us ialsehood.
Then the fun BEGAN
Justice Winters turned on Capt. Gun
ningham sayagely.
A mill was looked for worth 81 admis.
sion fee. The reporters wrote out orders
on next weeks salary and proceeded to bet
on the result
Capt Cunningham is not big enough
for him." remarked one interested Justice.
Never mind Cunningham, said an
other. "He is not big, but his fighting
weight is a sack OF sand aud he can whip a
barrel OF Wildcats"
'Buthe don'tweigh overeighty pounds"
said the irst.
"No matter, said the second, "there are
seventy.dye pounds OF that backbone, and
he will fight"
OF the lighting qualities Of either party
there was no room 10 doubt Capt. Gun.
ningham squared himself aud struck an
attitude OF defense.
Justice Winters rushed at him. but was
caught on the fly by Sheriff McLondon.
Two or three others rushed around and
confusion reigned supreme II was plain
that the friends on both sides were going
20 filibuster aud that ring rules could not
be enforced Bets were declared or quiet
restored and the court adjourned until the
second Monday In May, at Dam.
There will be no road working until after
the next meeting
