necessity of paying house rent was brought

arrested by magistrate Lockman's con-
stables, yesterday, on the charge of ma
lcious trespass, preferred by Spann & Co.,
rental agents Several weeks ago Wescott
called at the rental office and asked for the
keys TO - Lexington avenue, representing
that he wanted TO look at the premises with
a view to renting. a day or so later he re-
turned the keys, saying the house did not
suit him and he would not lease IL. In the
meantime ii is supposed he quietly moved
in, as ne was found in possession yesterday

Must Not Remove the Tracks.

Judge Baker yesterday granted a tempo
rary injunction against Charles E. Davis,
sheriff of Montgomery county, and Wesley
Grantham, restraining them from ejecting
the Chicago * Southeastern railroad from
Granthams farm. The action is based on
technical grounds. 1t seems that Grantham
wants TO tear up the tracks of the COM
pany on account of their failure TO comply
with the terms of the contract under which
the tracks were laid The plaintiff holds
that the proper course for Grantham to
pursue is 20 bring an action for damages,
and not TO attempt TO remove the track.

which Dr.. c. o. Brown is being tried,
only newspaper reporters and Witness
es were admitted. Attorney Nagle. DR..
Browns counsel, was not permitted to
remain In the room, and before depart~
ing made several sarcastic remarks
about the manner in which the trial is
being conducted which may prevent
him from attending any Of the remains
ing sessions.
The session was devoted to the hear
ing Of the testimony OF a young lazy,
a member OF the church, who swore
that sometime ago DR.. Brown threaten
ed TO circulate scandalous story about
her unless she should cease her oppo-
sltion to him. She said the story was
based on the fact that two years ago,
while assisting Ia decorating the church,
out Of curiosity, she accepted the invi-
taion OF nn organ repairer to go IN
side the big organ in the church. She
remained but few moments, but met
Or. Brown as she stepped out. She
said she supposed DR.. Brown drew u
parallel between this incident and his
alleged meeting with Miss 0Vernan IN
n lodging house. DR.. Brown admitted
part OF the story, but said he never
threatened the woman. He said he told
her TINT her actions on this occasion
might easily be misconstrued as his
had been, and advised her to be more
charitable In her criticisms OF him.
