WINCHESTER, Ind, March "a New
York paper is authority for the story that
Judge Sterling B. Toney, of Louisville, who
is a great stickler for promptness. the other
day. caused himself to be fined s. for con-
tempt of court because he was a few min
utes late, and later not only RENTED the
fine against himself, but likewise against all
others in contempt for like causes. This
story brings to mind an interesting chapter
in the recent history of one of Randolph
county's courts of limited jurisdiction. Es-
Quire Fowler, one of the regular j. P.'s of
Parker City and Monroe township. had a
disagreement with one Lyons, his tenant,
and finally sued him, bringing the suit in his
own court, issuing and signing his own sum-
mons for Lyons. and generally preparing
himself to dispense justice to his tenant from
his own court. Later. becoming dissatisfied
with himself, and, it is presumed, seeing
that an ~interminable mix might result be-
tween himself and his other or legal self,
he took a change of venue from himself,
and the case Of Fowler VS.. Lyons. in the
court of Fowler. j. p, was duly transferred
to another court.
