APFSsA'
Two law suits was the record last
Saturday, both tried before Justice
Abbott, and each brought by Frank
McNally against A. ID. Forbes. The
first was action of assumpsit for the
recovery of rent money due. Judg-
ment for plaintiff in the sum of $40 90
and costs.
The second suit was an action of
trover and trespass. McNally claim
ed that Forbes had used about two
tons of his hay stored in barn on
the premises without his, the plain
tlff's, leave. The defendant acknowl-
edged the using of the hay but claim
ed that it was by agreement with the
plaintiff. This was tried by jury and
judgment rendered for the plaintiff to
recover $3.50 and his legal costs.
Before the twenty-four hours, allowed
the defendant to pay up, had expired
Forbes skipped. AS his conduct dur
ing his brief residence here was not
such as to inspire confidence. there
are no regrets, unless McNally mourns
the loss of his rent and hay. Forbes
family left Tuesday morning, pre-
sumably for Weston, leaving their
household goods, which, by the way,
were mortgaged two weeks agoto get
the owner out of the clutches of the
law for an assault on Riley Davidson

well, but about two months after, he began to
complain Of soreness and pain in the vaccinated
arm. He had occasionally shown some signs Of

ever, grew worse and worse and became swollen
