capped from the railroad police Thurs
day at the station while waiting for a
train which was to carry him and his
partner Henry Fowler, to the work
house to work out a fine of $40 and costs
each imposed by Mayor Dressler for
railroad trespassing. The fellows had
been working the Pittsburg exposition
and were scared away by the police.
Higgins was slim, slippery sort of a
fellow and when the officer stepped into
the police room at the station for a
moment he slipped the handouts over
his hands and left. He made good his
escape and thus far has not been re-
captured. He is wanted badly, how
ever, as the police have received addi-
tional information since he left.

playing Through the Rockies and sew
eral other marches for the benefit of the
other passengers and a few stragglers
from the mountains who gathered
around. There were two show cars on
our train, one of them being Gordens
Minstrels. UP on the mountains we
saw some Indians. They were queer
looking specimens and when the band
began to play they looked as If they did
not know whether they had better run

RIPE PEACHES
IN COURT.
An Interesting Controversy
Before Squire Reigner.
A LAWYER BECAME DISGUsTED
And Intimated That he Would Seek JUS
tice Elsewbere-A Question as to
the Condition of the
Fruit.

All day long Friday two litigants, two
lawyers, the court and dozen wit
nesses worked on law suit in Justice
Reigner's court to see who was to pay
for load of peaches; then the defense
got mad, threw up the sponge and said
they would not play any more. 1t
was the suit of Christian Schumacher VS.
Jacob Flory. Schmucker had lot of
peaches in September and he and Flory
had had deal whereby the latter was
to help get rid of them.
They were brought to Flory one Fri
day night when he had no room to put
them away and so he did not get them
till Saturday afternoon, too late for
market. BY Monday they had largely
rotted and he refused to pay full price.
Schmucker sued for 1898. Flory re-
sisted. Attorney Upham represented
Schmucker and w. o. Werntz repres-
ented Flory. Witnesses were examin-
ed and cross examined. Finally the de-
fense asked man who had bought
some of the peaches what they were
worth on the Monday he got them, the
object being to show they were rotten
Upham objected and said If they want
ed to show what they were worth they
should show what they were worth on
Friday night when Flory had a chance
to take the peaches in good order. The
court upheld Upham, whereat Mr.
Werntz declared he would not try the
case to the court any further, picked VI
his books and left the hall. The justice
thereupon gave a verdict for the full
amount of 1888 against Flory. Mr.
Werntz will now take the case to com.
mon pleas court.

from the Doubleday Mcclure publishing
firm about the first OF the year and en-
bark in new enterprise with several
other well kno wn publishers. The separ-
alton was mutually agreed upon some
time ago, and the relations between S, S.
Mcclure, senior member of the Double
day-McClure firm and Doubleday are
pleasant. The explanation of the sep
aration given out at the publishing
house is that the establishment is not
commodious enough for the business
that has been crowded into it. Mr.. Nc.

partnership with Mr.. Doubleday would
not in the least affect the Mcclure maya

The population of the German empire
increased from 45,222,113 in 1882 to
51,770 S24 in 1895, gain of 14.4S per
cent. But the gam in the larger cities
was in percentages rising above 80 per
cent for the same time. The agricultural
sections accordingly lost in population,
and recent computations on the later
census results reveal the fact that the
country districts Of the empire actually
lost some $50 900 in population during
the 13 years. Manufacturing, trade,
transportation and the professions, CEN
tered in the towns. absorbed the whole
increase in population and more besides.

County Court.

In the case Of Charles Ingalls, VS.. A. J.
Oderkirk, last week, the jury returned a
verdict for the deiendent to recover his
costs.
The next case tried and the last trial
by jury was that of O. V. Hooker VS.. A.
H. and Charles Mcleod, with Porter for
plaintiff and Blodgett and Stafford at
torneys for defendants. This was an
action for assault and battery and arose
from difficulties betw Mr.. Hooker
and A. H. Mcleod in regard to water
rights in which they are mutually infer
ested. The plaintiff claimed that both
the defendants used violence upon him
without just provocation. The defen-
dants' evidence was to the effect that
Charles Mcleod intererred when Mr..
Hooker was calling his father names and
pushed the plaintiff over backwards and
that the elder Mcleod pulled his son off
but did not touch the plaintiff; that Mr..
Hooker then picked up stone and before
he had time to use it in self defence and
using no more force than was necessary,
A. H. Mcleod compelled him to drop the
stone. The jury found Charles Mcleod
guilty and for the plaintiff to recover
$40 so and cost from him. that A. Fl.
Mcleod was not guilty and to recover
his costs OF the plaintiff.
The jurymen were discharged Saturday
noon.
The recess was taken from Saturday
noon to Tuesday morning, and Tuesday
was devoted to conrt business, chiefly in
the line OF divorces.
Bills were granted i'll the following
cases
