COUNTY COURT.
JUDGE TKAY WARNS UP THE
SELE CTlIEN.
Wants Time on the Farrell Matter
and Gets It-POI Tax Resolution
and Other BuSiness-Appropria-
tiOns Made.

Judge Mckay warmed up the routine
proceedings of the county court yester-
day by telling the selectmen and their
attorney they might go to that land
where ice cream freezers are a drug
on the market, or words to that effect.
1t was the only incident of the session
and was the termination Of q short
passage at arms between the judge and
County Attorney Whittemore.
Judge Mckay appeared for Farrell
on the matter of his bill, which has
been hawked around the structure
from one committee to another until it
would take a man of intense erudition
to tell what its status is, and said to
the selectmen that he was not. pre-
pared to make the showing he wanted
at that time and asked for a contin-
uance of one week to enable him to
prepare.
The county attorney demurred slight
ly to this, which elected the statement
from Farrell that he wanted this time
and was going to have it. Whittemore
informed him that he must not talk
that way; that he, the county attorney,
had been a friend of Farrell's and such
statements might cause the plumbing
contractor to lose that friendship.
To this the attorney for the con-
tractor replied that he did not care a
snap for the aggregation; that he did
Tot propose to be monkeyed with; that
he was entitled to the time and In
tended having it. He got it and next
week will present the matter to the
court as he wants it. 1t is supposed
that ere Farrell gets what is coming
to MIN that he will have to bring suit.
and that is all there is to it, so Judge
Mchay's stand will be appreciated by
those who know the circumstances
