Trouble Ahead for Somebody.

Freeland Cor in Plain Speaker.
The now famous case of Elliott vs.. the
high constable, in which the plaintiff al
leges that the first official of the borough
seized his horse illegally and has held
the animal in default of the fine,
promises to mark an epoch in the history
of Freeland. For many weeks past, the
constable has been more than willing to
return the animal, less his fee, but the
gentleman who has fed and cared for
his horseship all this time modestly asks
that he be reimbursed ere the animal
leaves his present quarters.
With Mr.. Elliott firm in his refusal to
settle the case, except at his own terms,
which practically means that he shall
not only be exempt from any costs in
the lease, but that he shall receive COM
pensation for the time in which he has
been denied the use of his horse. Mr.
Ludwig is in quandary, and to add to
his troubles his bondsmen are becoming
alarmed over the turn affairs have taken
and they threaten to take action to pro-
tect themselves from possible loss; coun-
Gil will necessarily have to shortly. 1t
is to be hoped that the outcome of the
affair will have a good effect on future
generations of high constables.

From the Wilkes Barre Leader.
Officer John Jones had rather warm
reception at Polish wedding over at
Grand Tunnel Monday evening. A war
rant was issued by Squire Powell for the
arrest of Pole who was charged with
assault. The officer proceeded to Grand
Tunnel to make the arrest and when he
arrived there he found that his man
was attending Polish wedding. When
he arrived at the house his man was in
dulging in drunken hilarity but Johh
was not to be daunted.
He approached, and in short time
found whole swarm of Poles lighting
on his anatomy. He returned alone,
and glad he was to get out with his life
Warrants We're issued next morning for
the arrest OF those who interfered.

Suit for Damages,

E. A. Lynch and +. f. McGoyern
nave commenced suit for their client,
John Newton, against the Lehigh Valley
Railroad Company for $1,000 damages.
The Plaintiffs statement is as follows:
On July 6, 1894, he purchased ticket
in Wilkes-Barre for transportation to
Hazleton. When the train arrived at
White Haven they were told to change
cars. He started to leave the train, and
while on the steps of the car in the act
of getting off, the train was put in mo-
ton by sudden jar. This threw the
plaintiff to the ground, giving him seri-
GUS injuries, from which he still suffers.
For this he claims the damages stated
above
