The day wore on, and when the hours of
evening began to show that the shades of
night were falling fast, the plaintiff was
still introducing testimony to show that the
calf, Rose" by name, was his property.
Judge Benners decided that the strain was
too great and took a recess until yesterday
morning. In the meantime the calf, which

telephone pole in the alley, near Justice
Benners office, where the court and jury
took a look at her.
An Inning for the Defense
When court reconvened yesterday the
plaintiff rested and witnesses for the de-
Tense were called. By these witnesses 1t
was sought to establish the fact that the
calf in question was and had been since
last summer the property of Mr.. Beatty, but
that she had acquired the habit of running
off from home, having done so on two
separate and distinct occasions.
The fact was also developed that Mr..
Beaty's calf bore the beautiful name of
limbo" and was well known to the neigh
bors for blocks around.
"Jimbo's" pedigree, according to the testi-
mony, was not well established, except as
to the identity of her mother, who was
described as a common cow of ordinary
capacity, and but for white spot In the

After all the facts had been carefully gone
into and each witness put through a search

and by agreement of the attorneys the case
was submitted without argument.
Judge Benners briefly charged the jury
as to the responsibility which rested upon
them and after a short time a verdict was
returned for the plaintiff for the property

the costs of the suit. which, If all the wit

CALF CASE BEFORE
JUSTICE BENNERS
Litigation Over Ownership of a
BrindIed Heifer.
NEW RECORD ESTABl ISHED
Forty Witnesses, Five Lawyers, Six
Jurors, and $50 Cost Bill Are
Some of the Features
of the Trial.

The sagacity of wise Judge, the COM
bined talent of five legal lights, the testi-
mony of about forty witnesses and the
clear deductions of six impartial jurors, to-
gether with the worry and tribulations in
cident to two days trial, is the latest
record Of the Alabama courts to decide the
question of ownership of brindled heifer
calf of the sworn value of $40.
The ecene of this complicated litigation
was laid in the court of Justice 1. H. Ben
ners, while the alleged facts were gathered
from the historic hills on which rests the
otherwise peaceful suburb of Jonesville,
where the litigants reside.
Some weeks ago C. N. owen, the plaintiff
in the case, entered suit in detinue In
Justice Benners court against his neighbor,
s. L. Beatty. for the recovery of a brindle
heifer calf or it's equivalent value, $40. The
case coming on to be heard a judgment
was rendered for the defendant, from
which the plaintiff appealed, demanding a
jury to hear the facts.
Trial by Jury

The plaintiff was represented by B. M.

Except One.
LOSS IS ABOUT $12,5OO.OO
About $4,000 Insurance Hotel Was
Not 1njured-Stubborn Fight by L.
& N. Train Crews to Save the
Depot-Detailed Losses.

The town Of Blount Springs, thirty-three
miles north of Birmingham, suffered from
a disastrous fire yesterday afternoon, IN
which a number of business houses were
burned. The total loss amounted to over
$4,000, about 5000 of which was covered
by insurance.
The fire was discovered about 1890 o'clock
in the rooms over Byer's saloon, though 1t
is not known how 1t caught. The flames
quickly spread from one store and building
to another until all of the active business
houses in the town except that of McPher-
son & Son were burned down. The hotel
also escaped. though the fire was just
across the street from 1t. The flames con-
tinued to spread for about two hours, when
the fire went out for want of anything else
to burn.
One of the features of the day was the
stubborn fight which the employees of the
Louisville and Nashville railroad made 10

freight trains passing through Blount at
the time, and their crew all got off and
assisted in fighting the fire. With the
assistance of a good-slzed hose and water
from the railroad tank, they finally sue

The losses in detail were as follows:
Two business houses In which the saloon
was located, owned by the Blount Springs
company, valued at 5000 and covered by
insurance.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
I desire to assure Former Clerk McCar-

idea that his books were incorrectly kept,
or that there was anything wrong; my
sole purpose was to show that Governor
Johnston is not the fair and impartial man

by quoting from various letters of instruc-
ton written to him by Governor Johnston
For my own information If Examiner
Purifoy spent several weeks examining ex-
Circuit Clerk McCarthy's books, why was
that report not made public? Why was that
report not rushed into print and commented
on with the same avidity by Examiner Pur-
ifoy that characterized the result of his ex-
animation of the books of Former Sheriff
Morrow, Criminal Court Clerk Burgin, or
the present sheriff? If Examiner Purifoy
spent several weeks examining Mr.. Nc
Carthy's books, the public has no knowl-
edge Of the fact.
