CLEARWATER'S STORY.

CLEARWATER'S STORY.
His story Is to this effect: In 1887
the firm was dissolved, Smith buying
out Clearwater. Smith did not have
all OF the necessary ready money and
gave as part payment a mortgage for
$1,000 which he held, personally, against
G. w. Hinkley, Of Nicholson. AS Smith
would in his business travels visit
Nicholson about once n month, it was
agreed that he should collect from,
IIinkley the interest and part pay
ments and turn them over to Clear
water. In this way he collected s3e231.
In March, 1888, Clearwater loaned
Smith $1,000, which he proves by tirI
check receipt, and some time pre-
vously advanced him s1CO in cash.
for which he took his note.
Smith died in April, 1891, and a few
months later Mrs. Smith, Clearwater
and a bookkeeper, Mr.. Emery, who
had been the confidential man Of the
firm, met to effect a settlement of
Mrs. Smiths debts with insurance
money which Mrs. Smith had received.
The sum of $l,6So.10 was paid by check
by Mrs. Smith to the defendant, but
he declares 1t was in settlement of
the loans of 1000 and 500 and the
$362.31 collected by Smith in his life
time on the Hinkley mortgage and
never paid over. These three debts
with accrued interest would figure up
it was claimed, the exact amount OF
the payment, s1esO.76. There was
never a word said about reassignins
the Hinkley mortgage, MIR. Clearwater
declares.
The case was on all day and will
likely consume the greater part of to-
| day.
A RIVER CASE.
Judge Archibald, in the main court
room, is engaged in trying the case
OF the Peck Lumber Manufacturing
company against the Dolph Coal com
pany, in which n claim Of $4,000 is
made for damages alleged to have re-
suited from the plaintiffs mill dan
on the Lackawanna at Peckville being
made useless by being filed up with
culm washed down from Sterrick creel
and into the river from the defendant:
collery.
The defense is that a dam site or
the Lackwanna isn't susceptible tc
any great damage, in the first place
| and secondly that the defendants col
liery is no more responsible, if respon

dam than half a dozen other collierles
with and without washing attach,
ments, located along the Lackawanna
and its tributaries above the site o.
the dam.
The jury was sent out at noon t.
make a personal inspection of the rivel
and to trace for themselves the source
of the offending culm. Attorneys fol
each side accompanied them.
The PLAINTIFF is represented by S. d

SUPERIOR COURT.
November Term Will Convene
rlOnday. Only Two Prisoners in
Jail Charged With FeIonies.

The November term of Terrell supe-
riOr court will convene next Monday
morning with Judge Fl. G. Sheffield on
the bench and Solicitor Jno. r. Irwin
on hand to look after the states inter-
est in criminal matters.
The number of cases on the civil
docket is unusually small and there
are only two prisoners in Jail charged
with penitentiary offenses and unless
the grand jury develops more than the
usual amount of business for the court
the session will be one of the shortest
that has been held in long time.
The two prisoners who are in jail
charged with felonies are Glen Jones
and Charley Warren, both colored.
Jones is the negro who recently shot a
woman near Dover, and is held for
murder, while the charge against
Warren is attempted rape upon a girl
of his own color.
