short time ago one of these children was
bitten by a dog belonging to Calender,
albeit not in any way badly. Inc rather
of the child went to remonstrate with
Calender for keeping vicious dog, ana
was met courteously enough. Calender
explained that he didn't know and
scarcely believed that the dog was
vicious. but as it had bitten the child
he would have it killed. The matter.
APPARENTLY, ought to have ended there
bur it didn't. Hill was very indignant.
and had a complaint drawn and both
Calender and his wife arrested on the
charge of permitting vicious dog to be
at large Realizing a little later that he
could not make the charge good, Hill
had it dismissed. Then, and 1t Is alleged
not until then, did Calender get mad.
He cared little about the spat with him-
self, but he keenly resented the slight
put upon his wife. He proceeded to Fur
rey's store on Spring street. where Hill
is employed, and while breathing out
threatenings of slaughter. gave his an
tagonist at least one or two very respect
able punches about the head. When re-
strained from infiicting the chastisement
upon Hill that he desired. Calender
vented his anger by telling what he
would do at some future time. There
upon Hill had him arrested, preferring
two charges against him, of battery"
and "uttering threats against life."
The latter charge was the one dis
posed of by Justice Young yesterday.
and it was amusing to hear Calender
tell his story upon the stand. He was
"spoiling for a fight" and was willing
to do combat with Hill with bare knuck
les. London prize ring rules, or with As
caliber pistols at ten PAGES. Witnesses
testified to the thorough respectability
of Calender, and the court showed no
hesitation in permitting him to go on
his own recognizance for the purpose Of
finding bondsmen.

1t appeared yesterday as II a cyclone
or some deadly blight had swept
through the court house for in several
departments chaos reigned and an air
of funeral calm pervaded most Of the
offices.
With the exception of department two
where Judge Clark continues to hold the
balances of justice. all the departments
are in the possession of the janitor ana
his myrmidons. Preliminary to the work
of cleaning and renovating the hablh-
ments of the blind Goddess, everything
has been turned upside dowr and Tor
short time yesterday two little tots were
playing bo-peep around the bench in de-
partment one. Judge Smith has played
the same game himself from the same
point of vantage, but circumstances
alter cases and ordinarily there is an
absence of the motif that animated the
children yesterday.
Apparently, too, the merry burglar has
ceased to "burgle," for the district at
torney's office, instead of being over
come with a plethora of work. echoes
back no longer the complaints of suffer-
ers. Those of the officials who are not
dallying with the yellowtails at Cata-
lima are having some little time afforded
them to take breathing spell and pick
up arrears of work of a necessary but
uninteresting character.
10 say that few new suits are being
filed In the office of the county clerk is
simply to indicate that the public gem
orally have proclaimed with one another
truce while the erstwhile combative
contingent take their respective fami-
lies to the mountains or the seaside.
About the end of September the last of
these will have returned to town but,
strange as it may seem, while having
had the milk of human kindness quick
ened by the vacation trip the spirit of
legal pugnacity Gill only have had
point and added determination given
to it.
And so on through the various offices
in the court house building. Sam Kutz,
Cupids right bower, alone of all the
officials is kept busy making out certi-
ficates for the amorous couples who de-
sire to mate. Folks will marry and be
giving in marriage and Justice Young
made six into three yesterday afternoon.
which mathmatical problem he worked
out by uniting in marriage three couples.

AN OILY DISPUTE
A Suit Begun for an Accounting by Q Partner
in the Oh District


]. H. Patterson and G. P. Orr were
friends and cronies, but they edo not
speak as they now pass by" and the
former is trying to get the scalp of the
latter, metaphorcally speaking. and by
due legal process.
1t appears from the complaint placed
on file yesterday that in December of
last year an agreement was entered into
by Patterson and Orr by the terms of
which 1t was understood that Patterson
was the owner of an undivided quarter
in and to lease of certain oil lands,
machinery, etc.
Previous to that date one ]. D. Lewis
had possessed a quarter interest also,
but in August, 1895, he sold his interest
to Patterson for $3.50, thus giving the lat
ter right and title to d half interest at
the end of last year, al the time the
agreement alluded to was drawn up.
Anterior to that date, however, Patter
son and Orr had run the machinery on
the lands mentioned, and operated oil
wells on adjoining lands for other per-
sons.
At the time of the agreement it was
understood that Orr should take general
supervision and charge of the business
in contracting for work, and disburse
themoneys and keep the accounts of the
coilceiH' AS d matter VI ldcl ne ulu tlll5
but it is claimed he only kept such books
as suited his fancy and those in an mac
curate manner 1t is charged, too, that
he entered up contracts for less amounts
than the actual price contracted for and
this for the specific purpose of cheating
his partner, Patterson.
His partner, firing Of this one-sided
arrangement now comes into court and
asks for an accounting and for judg-
ment for the amount found to be due;
that a receiver be appointed; that he be
determined to be the owner to an undi-
vided onehalf in the business, and a
restraining order to prevent Orr from
collecting or converting to his own use
any of the moneys of the partnership.
