OIL tho ground that he was in default
IN the payment OF %premium.. Tho
court held that under the laws OF the
state OF New York 4 policy holder,
when lie defaults in tho payment OF pro.
miums, Is entitled to have tue lie OF
his policy extended to such Il date as
would be reached BY tho total amount
oil premiums then paid in. In this case
such extension reached beyond the
death Of plaintiffs husband, and the
court held accordingly. The case was
carricd.u through all the courts until
last week tho supreme court affirmed
the Judgment OF tho court in this
county. The judgment and interest
o amount to about 5000. and Mr..
Rees receives one-half for carrying the
case through.
One oil those cases where there is little
at stake and much coat attached came
up at st. Clsirsyiile Friday. George
Hines, OF Flushing township, was in.
dicted for stealing a hog worth prob

nocent and his trial came up. Abou,
thirty witnesses from tina. township at
\ cost OF about 81 each were summoned,
and these with the jury fees and court
costs run the total to over 5000, and
Hines worth nothing. II Is not much
wonder Judge briggs insists that trivial
cases should be settled before the local
squires and mayors. The taxpayers
league will probably join in some such
move to stop leaks OF this kind.

der!ully. Dan Leach, VINO was acting
policeman in the ward, arrested both,
but Capito was bruised up too much to
be taken to the lookup, and he was
taken home. Kreiter was fined - and
costs for fighting, but the case OF Capito
has not yet been disposed OF.

BY two men.iwho thrust n large sized

young man named Bumgardner rs one
OF her assaiiants. and he was given n
hearing before Squire Caldwell last
Saturday and held Tor further examlua-
