A Local Squabblc

Before the Justices Court on
Wednesday came up for hearing
the case of Keelty VS. Freeburger.
1t seems that Daniel Keelty and
Frank Freeburger had a scuffle
over pair of oars at the point on
Sunday, in the coarse Of which the
latter throw rock at Keeltv in
ficting slight seal Up wound. Keel
ty swore ont warrant against
Freeburger, but his father paid a
fine Of S25 before it was served.
Then complaint was sworn out
against Keelty tor an assault with
an oar on young Freeburger. This
case came up for trial On Wednes
day, and the jury decided the de-
fendent not guilty
Then Keelty swore out warrant
to compel Freeburger to keep the
peace, and his bonds were placed
at $500, which were furnished, but
the detendent waived an cxamina-
ton and an appeal was taken to
the District Court.
The jury was not instructed and
therefore failed in either case to as
sess the costs to either party, and
TINS the county must foot up the
bills Of people who 60 to law over
trivial matters. This is not the
first time that the cost business has
been shouldered on the county
and it is fully time that the Com
missioners took steps to stop it. II
is altogether "too thin" There i;
no justice in having the taxpayers
put up for cases of this sort, but il
seems an easy matter to do so
Most people would be reluctant te
indulge in law, if they had the set
Ting or few cost bills. This case
will cost not less than fifty dollars
in case ic is allowed.
