Maternal Rights Not Recognized.

From the Plttsburg Commercial Gazette.
Whether the man who owns the eggs or
he whose hen matches chickens from them
is the possessor of the chicks was decided
in Judge Magee's court. Henry J. Bates
was the man on trial. The legal charge
was he had stolen from George Roebel
chickens valued at 50. The case came
from the docket of Squire Shafer who
dispenses justice at retail in Harrison
township. The problem presented by the
case had evidently hoored the squire
The allegation was that the defendant
had locked up a hen belonging to the
plaintiff and induced her to exercise her
maternal instincts on some eggs. The hen
sat on the eggs and Matched nice brood
of chicks. which were claimed by Roebel
because his hen had Matched them. The
jury returned a verdict of not guilty
Mr.. Roebel has his hen and Mr.. Bates will
keep his chicks.

Mr.. Byrne gave out the following docu-

ing, as required by him, with a view to
having this board relieve him from the
disabilities imposed at its meeting Now

ton of all matters bearing upon the ques-
tons at issue. this board finds:
l. That from all the testimony submitted
it appears that Mr.. William Barnie. while
under contract to the Louisville base ball
club was entirely loyal to his club. and
in no way acted prejudicial to the clubs
interests. Furthermore. has made clear
mat at no time did he make any effort

uiy himself with any organization antag-
onistic to the national agreement.
subsequent to the close of the season
OF 1874, to-wit: Sept. 30. Mr.. Barnie admits
that he did identify himself with new
association about to be formed, which nee
essarily was TO come in conflict with the
national agreement. He admits also that
he was aware early in September 1894 of
the formation of a so-called association,
but did not identify himself with il until
on or about Oct. IS
g. 1t has also been made clear TO this
board, and Mr.. Barnie comedies that while
he was Identifying himself with the fCrma-
ton Of the new American association he
was at the same time endeavorng to Sc
cure employment with a national agree
ment club.
4. In the absence of any positive evil
dence affecting Mr.. Barnic's loyalty this
board has no other alternative but to re-
move the suspension imposed on him on
Nov. 16
In taking t6is action this board desires
TO say that while Mr.. Barnie admits he
was factor in the framing of the original

ance TO the national agreement of profess
sional base ball clubs. All parties iden-
titled with the national agreement can take
