Lieutenant Colonel Shipley OF Grove
House, Chiswick, who his
intention Of preserving it as "one Of
the landmarks Of the parish" will be
remembered as the victim in the
"Shipway Pedigree Case" which at
tracted so much attention some time
ago. The peculiarly audacious swindler
whom he had fnnocently employed to
elucidate his pedigree and to prove his
claim to an old coat-of-arms, forged
his evidence as he went along, and
managed to obtain considerable sums
OF money before he was found OUT

His Phonetic Understanding.

"The gravity which is supposed to
attend all court proceedings was seri-
ously disturbed in a New York court
room one day last week." said a young
lawyer who had just returned from a
business trip to that city. II was pres
ent at the trial Of a. case before one
of the municipal judges-a case in
which I vas interested because it had
to do with automobiles. One of the
witnesses was a German, and gave his
testimony through an interpreter. In
the course of the examination he said
he had driven an automobile to Cedar
hurst.
"eWhat's that?' asked the judge.
""To Cedarhurst,' replied the in
tepreter.
His honor looked puzzled.
What did he want to see the
hearse for?' he asked"

Mere Opinion.

It's a good rule that works your
way all the time.
A good woman's children rise up
and call her blessed after they are
married off and can't get back home
more than once every four or five
years.
The way of the transgressor may be
hard; but that of his victim is gener.
ally a little worse.
Some of the people who talk so
much are merely trying to keep the
world from finding out that they have
little to say.-Philadelphia Record.

A Geographical Novelty.

The point where Utah, Colorado, Ari-
iona and New Mexico touch each other
is called TIE four corners. This fact Is
not a strange one, but when we come
to find that is the only place where
four states or territories point, we find
that this spot is in some ways a unique
one Not only is this the only place in
the United States where such a juno
ton occurs, but it is the only one Of its
kind in the world. This statement
seems a broad one, but a short study OF
the maps of an atlas will show that it
is correct, and, more than that. that at
no other place in the United States do
more than two state corners touch each
other.

Milton Farrar, an account of
whose shooting of David Brooke
up near Eccles was published in
the last issue of the COURIER,
was arrested at Glasgow Friday
of last week by City Marshal
John Morgan, who notified Sher-
if Veatch and Deputy Sheriff
Chas. Parker was sent after the
prisoner. Farrar gave bond in
the sum of $500, with A. L.
Welch as security, for his ap-
pearance for trial at the coming
May term cf circuit court.
Dolly Mann, the Brunswick
negress, who was arrested for
stealing turkey gobbler from
Henry O'Neil, another dusky
denizen Of Brunswick, was tried
by jury in Justice G. w. Cum
ningham's court in that city
Friday and was acquitted of the
charge of stealing O'Neal's big
bird. The defendant claimed to
be the owner of that particular
representative of the feathered
tribe, and evidently substantial
ed her right to sell the gobbler to
John Myers to the satisfaction of
the jury, at least.
VIM. Young, the man who
snapped a pistol in VIM. Payne's
face at Triplett with murderous
intent about two months ago, and
jumped his bond of $50, with
Geo. H. Dobyns as security, to
appear before Justice A. w.
Guillod for trial, voluntarily ap-
peared before the last-named
gentleman the latter part Of last
week and made terms with the
justice, who fixed Young's pun
ishment at a fine of S25 and costs.
Mr.. Guillod regarded this as the
best thing that could be done
under the circumstances as VIM.
Payne, the prosecuting witness,
had gone to Idaho since the
trouble he had with Young, who
has been in hiding in the neigh
borhood from the day he failed to
appear for trial and his bond was
declared forfeited. But as he
showed up of his own accord a
few days ago, Mr.. Guillod will
not require Mr.. Dobyns to pay
the amount of the bond.
