SUIT THE CAUSE.
Oppelman's failure. it is said. was caus-
ed by the suit Of Spigel against Opel
man being decided Tuesday in favor OF
Mrs. Spigel. This case has been engag-
ing the Hastings Court since Friday
last. and Tuesday the jury brought in
a verdict allowing Mrs. Spigel $500 dam
ages.
These people are neighbors and rival
merchants. Some months since Opel
man had her arrested charged with sell
ing goods on Sunday.
She was acquitted OF the charge
by the Mayer. on the same day,
in the afternoon. several Of the families
in the neighborhood had a general war
OF words and the next morning they
presented themselves before the Mayor
on warrants and cross warrants. and
Oppelman had TO pay a fine ana was pun
under bond. After a few days the bond
was removed by the Mayor. shortly
after his episode a suit was entered
against Oppelman by Mrs. Spigel for de-
famation of character, but II was COM
promised. About a month after the COM
promise was made another sui; was ell
tered against him on the same charge.
In talking to Oppelman's counsel yes
terday morning, he said that his client
thought his first duty was 10 his credi-
tors and this was why he made the as
signment. Oppelman says he intends 10
pay his creditors dollar for dollar with
the exception of Mrs. Spigel.
Later in the morning an attachment
was issued on the stock by Mrs. Splgeis
counse and Sergeant Fitzgerald now
has the stores In his possession.

A few days ago a man came 10 Man

advertisements IN the public school dur
ing the recess hour. The show was adj
vertised to be given by several ladies'
of this city, but such was not the fact.
as they were all strangers TO these parts.
II was also said the entertainment was
FOR the benefit Of the Knights Of the Mys-
tic Chain and this was partly true. as

the proceeds for the use OF their name.
This he said. would keep them from hav-
Ing TO pay a license in the city.
The management offered great induce
ments TO draw the children and they at
tende I'm great numbers. The same in
ducement was made the cOlOred children
and they were there also in full force.
The white children gave the female
ushers 10 understand that the mixed
business was not pleasant 10 them. but
as tho small boys say. IL did not 'cut
any ice n they were made as well
come az the white guests. This riled the
larger boys and before the show came TO
an end there were several rows and they
