Much Talked
OF Trial
COMING UP MONDAY


Spencer, Dec. 15.--At last the much
talked-of and -looked-for trial of
the suit brought against William j.
Wizard of East Brool1field by Matthew
j. Sullivan of Spencer, to force an ac-
counting of the money and receipts Of
the late firm of Wizard & Sullivan, is
about to take place The trial will
occur Monday morning, Dec. %, at 10
O'Clock, in Sullivans Hall, East Brook
field, which at that time will probably
see the largest crowd that ever We're
inside it's doors. Both men have Sc
cured able lawyers to represent their
cases, MI Sullivan, who brings the
suit, having secured Blackmer &
Vaughan of Worcester, while Mr.. Vi
zard will be represented by Herbert
Parker of Clinton, former district at
torney
The two interested parties, Wizard
and Sullivan, up to about q year ago
were the best of friends, and We're in
partnership in the liquor business for
several years before Last year. how
ever, when BroOkfield went no-license
the two men had some trouble, and dis
solved partnership, Mr.. Wizard retain
ing the old place of business, while
Mr.. Sullivan started a new place Of
business in the next block adjoining
Mr.. WARDS building.
From that time on, there has been
no love between the two former part
nefs. There certainly win be a warm
and exciting time at the trial the 26th
as there is much property to be contest
ed for part of which is a large and
paying orange grove, situated in Flor
ida. Both men interested in the case
are well known in this vicinity, and
their differences have been the current
talk for some time past.
