MADE THE JUDGE LAUGH
HE SUSTAINED A DEMURRER WITH
OUT MUCH DELIBERATION.
Judge stubbs Had n Rare Opportunity,
but Observation-Disclosures Cases
I'm the Courts.

Judge McMaster yesterday sustained a
demurrer backed by a brief which in com
mon street parlance would be called a
peach" The demurrer was TO a complaint
filed in the Superior Court on an appeal
bond. the litigation originating in a justice
of the peace's court. The case is that of
David Sawyer against David Goldman and
Philip Bard. The complaint sets out that
a bond of one hundred dollars" is filed
'hearwith' and requests the court for judg-
ment and "intrest," ending with a ''whear-
four clause hat requests the court TO free
the plaintiff from 'ail costs in his and
the former tryals."
George w. Stubbs filed the demurrer and
begins by stating he SIS aware that the
law allows a wide latitude in pleading be-
fore justices and that photography and syn
tax cut no figure in a complaint" The de-
murrer continues: "a demurrer to the
complaint was filed before the justice who
tried the cause, and the rule as laid down
in the Eleventh Indiana, 55 (Which has been
the unquestioned rule in Indiana for more
than forty years, and which rule was also
upheld by the Thirteenth Appellate, 2s1),
was carefully and respectfully explained 10
his Honor, but IL seems he found 10 diff
Guilty in overruling both the Supreme and
Appellate courts. i respectfully submit that
the demurrer should be sustained.
THE court ought, I think, to give me
credit for being considerable IN not taking
advantage of the very tempting opportunity
10 lift the cuticle off of the lawyers who
prepared this complaint, but I refrain. An
eminent jurist of the generation now fast
passing away once said that the law has
No mercy on ID fools but as the Con-
stitution only requires that a lawyer shall
be a person of good moral character i can
say nothing"
Judge McMaster looked at the document
a moment, then broke into a broad smile
and wrote sustained across the back of
1t in a large hand.

STREET REPAIR GUARANTEE.
Action of the Board of works iu the
Matter.

The Board Of Works held a conference
with the Indiana Bermudez Asphalt Com
pany yesterday afternoon to discuss mat
tiers concerning the pavement on New Jer-
sey street. The company had asked, on
account of the large amount of repair work
now on hand, for ar extension of two years
On its contract of guarantee on
The extension was granted, the conditions
being upon the same terms as the original
contract. under which the Board of Works
could order a resurfacing of the street at
any time. AS the period OF guarantee had
elapsed about the time the extension was
granted, the company contended that it
should not be required to stand ready to
resurface the street at the option of the
board and also continue the guarantee for
two years. Tbs matter was arranged by
an agreement whereby the company is
given two years additional time in which
TO resurface the street and keep il I'm re-
pair, as contemplated within the terms of
the original contract. A similar arrange
ment will probably be made as 10 other
streets on which the repair and guarantee
period will soon expire. The portion of the
street in question is yet in fairly good con-
dition.
