The Quo WarrantO Case Being Argued
in the Supreme Court To-day.
HARTFORD, Nov 23.-The quo war;
ranto case of Luzon B. Morris VS. Morgan
G. Buckley is on trial in the supreme
court at the capitol to-day. Ex-Governor
Ingersoll, Judge Henry Stoddard
ena r for JUDGE f. Do %dTris a ars
Mr. Buckley is repr, scented by Charles
J. Cole, w. G. Case and Ii. G. Robinson.
Mr. Buckley arrived before the opening
of court and shortly after Judge
Morris arrived accompanied by Hon
Carlos French. Shortly before II
o'clock Chief Justice Andrews and
Judges Carpenter, Torrance, Seymour
and Fem took their places at the bench.
Charles j. Cole opened the argu-
ments, saying that the declaration of
election is lodged in the general assem-
bly, and nowhere else. The courts had
no jurisdiction in the matter. The de-
had been declared elected governor by
the general assembly of 1887. The gen
eral assembly which is invested with
the power of saying who was legally
elected at the recent election has not de-
clared any person chosen.
AT the conclusion of Mr. Coles argu-
ments court adjourned until o'clock at
which time Judge Stoddard opened the
arguments for the plaintiff.
WILD STEERS IN EAST LYME WOODS
Two Men Badly Injured by the
Maddcned Beasts.
Three years ago Robert Appleby, an
East Lyme farmer, put eleven head of
cattle into the Thousand Acre woods to
pasture for the summer and paid no
more attention to them, supposing they
would be safe and easily captured in the
fall and returned to his farm.
The Thousand Acre woods gains it's
name from the fact that there is 1000
acres of land, swamp, woods and
hedges, without fence except around
the outside and is in places almost i'm
pregnable. When fall arrived and
Appleby went to the woods and at
tempted to secure his cattle, he found
them as wild as any wild western steer,
and after three days trial left them.
animals, and their sense of fear turned
to an ugly wildness.
The party armed themselves with
heavy shot guns loaded with bullets and
left for the woods, prepared to stay I'M
til the cattle were shot or captured.
They returned Saturday with two men
in their wagon, bruised and battered
with encounters with the steers, and
five dead steers as the result of their
errand.
The herd was sighted and every effort
known to local cattlemen put into use
to no effect, and finally it was decided
to shoot them. Appleby shot at the
leader and wounded him badly. This
Infatuated the beast and he made rush
for the party. Appleby escaped, but
Del Morgan and j. Bamp were not SC
fortunate. The steer caught Morgan on
his horns and threw him several feet,
injuring his back and scratching the
skin from his hands and face by con-
tact with the underbrush. Bamp was
trampled on and severely injured and
would have been killed had not Appleby
showed his courage by turning and
emptying two charges of bullets into
the neck and head of the steer at short
range. That settled it and the steer
dropped dead.
Meanwhile the rest of the party had
succeeded in shooting four of the steers
Appleby decided to give up the chase
and leave the remainder of the steers
