those who organized this most creditable
event will regret the financial loss accom-
panying it. There must be 80 people IN
Randolph who are glad dollars worth

The case of f. ii. Ketcham V. l.. j.
Blakeley and wife was heard Friday before
Justice j. A. Fowler. 1t was suit
brought to recover for three months
house rent. Mr.. Ketcham claimed to have
made the trade for rental with both the
defendants, and on this ground trusted a
sum OF money deposited in the Savings
bank to the credit of Mrs. Blakely. The
question OF whether this trustee process
would hold was really the only one IN
issue. Justice Fowler gave judgment for
Mr.. Ketcham to recover two and hall
months rent with costs, amounting in all
TO about s25. and held the trustee. No
appeal was taken. j. ID. Denison for
plaintiff; Blakeleys for themselves. =

A couple of listeners cast about to ind
someone to try him out, and hit on a
school boy, who consented to make the
venture Gloves were secured and the
party adjourned to secluded spot. The
self-styled champion fiddled around
awhile and his opponent watched for an
opening. He found one presently and
landed on the nose with such force that
the boaster sought repose in corner and
when he got up his legs wabbled and his
nose emitted a stream OF bright crimson.
He remarked that one knock down didn't
count with him, but the next clip took
him on the point of the jaw and the floor
caught him again. There
upon he threw up the sponge and the
and next time he ''scraps"
