SHUT OFF THE FEES.
Judge Winters Banishes One of the Ills
of the Law.

The action of Judge Winters yesterday
in refusing a $25 fee TO attorney Rich
creek in the case of F>uehring VS.. Smith
is creating considerable favorable COM
ment. Contractor Fuehring brought suit
against Henry Smith for the collection of
$40 sprinkling assessment for the year
1892, and claimed the amount with inter-
ests, costs and attorneys fees. 1t was
shown that Smith paid all of his taxes b)r
that year, including the sprinkling assess
ment, for all property taxed against him
on the duplicate, but that one piece OF
property had been, through an error as
sessed in the name of Michael H. Spades.
The taxes had been paid by him, but
afterward the amount had been paid back
although the error had not been correct
ed on the books.
Smith alleged that he offered the taxes
to the treasurer, but that they were re-
fused. The plaintiffs gave him notice OF
the demand, and within three days sued
for the amount. Smith came into court
with his answer and rendered plaintiffs
the amount which they refused. Ju5ge
Winters held that they were not entitled
done all in his power to pay and was not
in fault. He further held that the plaintiff
was not entitled to reasonable attorneys
fees because the attorney, who knew the
facts, might have avoided the suit by
simple explanation of the facts to the
defendant. Judgment was given against
the defendant for the sum of $40 and
A number of attorneys without eft n
sive practice have been making consider
able fees during the last year in bringing
these suits.

TURTLES THAT FOUGHT.
Two Fishermen Interfere with

1t is no uncommon thing for swapping
turtles to be brought into any of the towns

to the region. hundreds of the big turtles

following circumstances:
The two Sicily boys were fishing in the

rods distant. They padded toward the

each being to seize the other at vulner-
able point. The collisions and fierce ma
MOWERS lasted several minutes without
either turtle obtaining any advantage, when
suddenly one of them dashed through the
water toward his antagonist, who waited
his massive head thrust forward to seize
his assailant If possible.
When the latter was within foot or so
of the waiting turtle he dived like fash
and came up under his foe, and, before the
latter could ward off the unexpected at

legs near the shell. The struggles of the
turtle thus caught foul TO free itself were
so desperate that the water was dashed
into foam, and in short time became
colored with blood.
swapping turtle never releases its hold
on anything it may close its jaws on until
that object is dead, and the efforts of this
turtle to release itself from his foe were
not only unavailing, but tended to place
him at still greater disadvantage by wear

of this novel battle saw that there could
