MONROE.

A Judgment has been rendered in the
suits Of Henrietta Burr against Minott
Booth. Fhe facts Of the cases are as fol-
lows: In February, 1891, Mrs Burr sued
Minott Booth for house rent, pasturage,
wood, etc., and made the suit returnable
IN Bridgeport before J. B. Klein, justice
OF the peace. Before the trial came off,
Mr. Booth turned the tables and sued Mrs
Burr for repairs to the house, making the
writ returnable in Monroe before DIR J.
u. Stevens. justice of the peace. The
case was tried before Mr. Stevens at Mon
roe and Judgment rendered for Mr.
Booth, Mrs Burr putting in no evidence.
Mrs Burr Immediately appealed the case
to the court of Common Pleas for Fair
field county, her suit was tried in Bridge
port before Justice Klein and Judgment
rendered in her favor, Mr. Booth putting
IN no evidence and following Mrs Burr,s
example of appealing to the court of
Common Pleas. Mrs Burr did not lose
courage, but sued Mr. Booth again for
rent from the bringing of the first suit up
to the time of the second suit and got A
judgment in her favor, which was again
appealed by Mr. Booth. Mrs Burr sued
again for rent from bringing of second
suit to bringing of third suit, which was
settled by Mr. Booth. Mrs Burr then
served a notice for him to quit possess
sion, which he did.
BY agreement, the three cases were
tried at Bridgeport, last week, at one
time and Judgment rendered by Judge
Perry in favor of Mrs Burr, whereby she
is given $25 so and costs in the first suit
and $l6 20 and costs in the second. In
the suit of Mr. Booth against Mrs Burr.
she is given judgment to recover costs
Judge Perry thought that the claim OF
Mr. Booth appeared very like spite. The
costs, outside of damages and lawyers
fees for Mr. Booth, are about 1925. At.
torney L. K. Gould represented Mrs Burr
and Lawyer O'Hara Mr. Booth.

came up and stopped when Cronkite
said 81 have got to have a pair of
gloves" These were furnished by one
of the party and put on, then he started
to where Crawford and Monaghan were
%conversing and commenced to talk to
them, being accompanied by Hcwson.
| Heard CrOnkite remark that he could
lick him "if he would only come out
four miles," Crawford then said 81 do
not want to fight you nor have anything
to do with you; go away" Cronkite
then struck Crawford and Crawford re-
turned the blow and ran away pursued
by Cronkite and Hewson. Irwin fol-
lowed also, saw Crawford fall down and
Cronkite jump on him, with Hewson
close by, whilst running Cronkite en-
deavored to strike Crawford. When
Irwin came up Cronkite got up and he
heard him make the remark to Mr.. Lewis
at the same time starting for the doctors
office. Crawford went OF to him room.
This closed the testimony of the de-
tense. 1t was not considered necessary to
take up any more time, Judge Gray
quickly gave his decision, which was to
the effect that nothing had been sub
mitted on which to hold the prisoner.
and he was discharged.
There was one thing that sounded
strange in the testimony, and caused
many to wonder, and that was; why the
contestants should go out four miles.
It is still in doubt; one supposition is
that it would take that distance to get
outside the city limits. Another YER
sion, given by the prisoner, was that
Cronkite wanted to tire him out walk
inc first,
