There have been East Side tailor strikes be-

annual event. The tailors go out about as regu-

something to do with it, for the sweatshops be

conditions the diamond has more for it may

Tried Under n Tree, While the Law
yer Hitchcd Up HIS Trousers.
Ex-President Harrison's death has
recalled an interesting incident in the
early history of Johnson county, Indi-
ana. The event, according to the Frank
lin Star, occurred in the White River
township in August, 1858, and is inter
estingly related by James Collins, one
of the principals.
Berrin Reynolds owned a large flock
of geese, and near hiV resided the Rev.
J. r. Surface The wandering dispo-
sition of geese Is we'll known fact
The ganders Of Mr.. Reynolds flock
were wont to stray away over the gar
dens and fields of Mr.. Surface This
was very annoying to the minister.
He patiently put up with the trouble
for some little time, but finally patience
ceased to be virtue, and he decided
to get rid OF the troublesome geese.
One day he drove them off into the
woods, where they wandered away and
were eaten by the wild animals that in
tested the timber in those early days.
The outcome was suit filed before
Squire Abraham Miller by Mr.. Reyn-
olds, claiming damages. Mr.. Reyn-
olds' attorney was the late Col. S. p.
Oyler, and the Rev. Mr. Surface was
ably represented by the then young
| but rising attorney. the late General
Harrison. The trial took place under
an apple tree that Mr.. Collins says is
still standing. The trial was by jury
Squire Miller, besides being justice oil
the peace, was a Lutheran preacher
Mr.. Collins recalls the fact that dur
/, ing the trial all were coatless, that
General Harrison wore no suspenders
apd during his argument before the
jury would occasionally stop to pull VI
his trousers. The jury disagreed.
