and Costs.
case Against the Stage Driver
-, m;,sed A. He Could Not He
rdentified- The Other Cases 40
Be Appealed.

The case OF the People vs Dr.. II. W.
1o,es and Marshal Foley, OF Houp hton,
20. tried before Justice Finn yesterday
.,oroing. The charge was the removing
o. bsipg re ponsible for the remoy al OF
.ortain articles OF clothing liable to
have been infested with germs OF diph-
,heria from one township to another.
The COMPLAINT was made by DR.. Scallon,
health officer OF Hancock.
Prosecuting Attorney Streeter showed
nv Mrs. Werner that she had been cent
away fro n her house by DR.. Jones who
had to iumigate the premises and that ne
told her to go to Hancock and that Mar
sbal Foley took her across the lake.
The fact that there had been death
from diphtheria il the house OF Mrs.
Werner the day before the removal was
nroyed by DR.. Wheeler's testimony. The
people then rested and the DEFENDANTS
attorney, Mr.. Rees, contented himself
with two motions, one to dismiss the
ease on technicality in the warrant and
the other to dismiss because the justice
was clerk OF the Hancock village board
Of health. Both motions were overruled
and after short argument the court i'm
posed a fue OF $25 and costs on each de-
iendant.
Included in the complaint was l..
Walters, the driver of the stage which
conveyed Mrs. Werner to Hancock. The
three defendants appeared by their at
torneys and neither were in court and
when the question OF identity OF Walters
arose no one present could swear that
he was the driver in question. The
charge being a misdemeanor only and
the defendants being not under bail, but
at liberty by tacit consent OF the officer
Walters could not be compelled to come
in and be identified and considerable
amusement was caused by Attorney Rec
stickingito the technicality. The prose
cutting attorney also was not anxious t.
press the matter against the driver wht
was only a means employed by the prin
cipal defendants and the case agains
him was dropped.
MIR. Rees gave notice that the necessar
bonds would be Forthcoming and tina
the case would be appealed to the circui
court.

How Fine Wire Is Made.

The finest wire in the country is
made at Taunton, Mass. This metal
cobweb of minute diameter is exactly
the one-five- hundredth part of an inch
in thickness-much finer than human
hair. Ordinary wire, even though OF
small diameter, is drawn through holes
in steel plates, but, OH account OF the
wear. such plates cannot be used In
making the hair wire. The Taunton
factory mentioned uses drilled diamonds
for that purpose.
