The old colonial house was built in
1772 by the ancestors of the family

The Sheriff Had Eleven and Expected to

Years ago the courts in western New

Guilty to collect juries for the trial of
cases. Not many of the men of the
region took enough interest in the carry

to leave their daily work to answer even

or more than eight of these unwilling
victims to be found at one and the same

One morning, however, when the
judges patience had entirely departed,
the sheriff came bursting into the court
room, his face flushed with the excite
ment of victory.
''It's all right now, your honor!' he
cried joyfully. "You can try the case
