at Tecumseh who was the butt of many
a joke Many story is still told at
his expense
The story is told of a case being tried
before the justice which was rather
lengthy. The judge had a field of pota-
toes that needed cultivating He had
to leave the field and take his place on
the bench to hear the case. The prose-
cutiOn introduced a room full of wit
neSseS and testimony enough to fill a
good sized book The introduction of
evidence on the part of the prosecution
! required four days All that time the

THE demurrer is sustained" said the
/ judge as he thought of those weeds
! growing unmolested for the next eight
days. 1t was the eight day reference
that did the work.
The same justice was trying another
| case IN the same court. He sat during
| the hearing looking out of the window
After the evidence for the prosecution

defense arose and entered his demurrer
