THE COURTS.
THE CHARGE PREPOSTEROUS

wICHELMAN WAS NOT OPPRESSED" BY JUDGE
WHEELER SAYS THE APPELLATE COURT.
The United States Circuit Court Of Appeals has
OF the A. b. Dick Company against Frederick
A. Wichelman, In regard to which Wichelman
made charges In court against Judge Wheeler:
Defendant n dissatisfied for any reason with the
decision Of the Circuit Court, may review that de-
cison by appeal II he be without means TO pay
costs or give security. he may. II citizen OF the
United States upon fling the GA tn required by the
act of July %. 1892, prosecute his appeal without
payment Of costs or fees and without giving Sc
curIy.
Investigation of the record of the court shows
that the case, coming In due course before
Judge Wheeler. Mr. Wichelman appearing In his
behalf, fully heard. the case duly con-
sidcred, and decided adversely to the defendant.
Thereafter he applied for rehearn1; his applica-
ton was granted: the rehearing was had before
Judge Wheeler on December 16 and was by him de-
cided on December 30 and the decision mailed from
Judge Wheeler's home In Brattleboro to the clerk
OF the Circuit Court. The decision entered, and
the fact duly recorded in the docket book on De-
cember 81 1896
In view OF these facts this Court Is utterly at a
loss to understand what the defendant means BY
his statement that he has been "oppressed' by
cided 1t Is unfortunate for the defendant that he
has not retained counsel to attend to his litigation.
and all proper consideration may pc given TO the
ignorance OF d ayman who undertakes to conduct
his own cause: but, In view of the fact that the
entry was made in the docket book. which de-
PENDANT as the clerk OF the Circuit Court informs
us, has repea teddy consulted his statement In this
that he has been oppressed by reason OF fall
ure to decide his case IS preposterous IL we pc
lleved that the defendant made this charge with
actual knowledge of the fact that his case had
been decided upon rehearing II would be proper 10
take some action In the way OF discipline. but
since II may be that the defendants lack Of intel
meaning OF the entry in the docket we are willing
to give him the benefit of the doubt

Association football amateurs and their ways. a
representative Of Answers had recently an inter-

hit a fly to right, which Nyce. did not
get to, and Mccarthy scored. Motz
went to third on Stewards fly to
Mcbride, and he and Wood tried the
double steal. Hollingsworth made a
miserable throw to the plate, and Motz
scored. Mullane stopped Flynn's warm
one, and the visitors were only five
ahead.
Spies opened the sixth with a single,
but it looked like a sure double play
when HollingSWorth rolled a grounder
directly at Stewart. Just before reach
ing Asa, however, the ball bounded and
went over his head, and Holly made
w bases on it instead of being put
out. Spies scored on Mullane's fly to
Hogriever, and Hollingsworth on Nc
Brides good single to left. Glenalvin
hit a vicious one straight down the
diamond, which nearly broke Umpire
Haskell's ankle. 1t was good for a
single under the rules. George and
Glasscock, however, hit the ball in the
air and no further run getting re-
suited.
Phillips hit a fly back of short that
looked like a safe one, but Hollings-
worth, by a bit of sensationalism, got
it in hand. Hogriever singled to
Georges territory, and scored on Nc
F~arland's triple, after Gray had given
Spies a sky scraping fly. Glasscock
took a wide foul from McCarthy's
stick.
The seventh opened with a base on
balls for Gillen, and the locals were
hopeful again, especially when Nyce
lined out a pretty drive. 1t looked like
a sure safe one, and Gillen started.
Flynn took it on the line, and COM
pleted the double by a throw to Motz
for which he had time to burn. Stewart
took Spies high one. The Hoosiers
went out one, two, three, to the out
field.
Flynn had already thrown out Hol-
lingsworth when Mullane sent another
lucky one bounding over Stewards
head. Mcbride, however, struck out
again, and Gray threw to second, cut
ting off Mullane or Glenalvin'S ground
er.
The eighth was agonizing when In
d~lanapoliS took its turn. Flynn opened
Hollingsworth's bad throw to the
plate. Phillips flew out to Isbell, who
a taken McBride's place, out Hol-
lingsworth again threw v e Glass
cocks lea when Hogriever hit that
way. Hogriever wen to second. The
next one Holly fielded accurately, but
when Mcfarland a V Glenalvin a
fast play, Glasscock muffed the throw.
Mccarthy hit a hot n to Hollings-
worth, who made a fine stop, but it
was nevertheless a safe hit. McFar-
land scored. Metz hit to right and
Wood drove a long one into center
field. Isbell jumped for it, but could
not get it. and all the runners before
Wood scored. Stewards fly to the
same section ended the trouble.
Stewart threw George out, but Phil
lips lent a little encouragement by a
tumble on Glasscock's comparatively
easy one Gillen, however, struck out
and Nyce hit a fly to Hogriever. The
score.
