Somerset S. ]. Court.

The charge in the case of c. e. Fur
Der VS.. Lyman s. FOgler was given to
the jury, Monday morning. Two of
the jurymen were detained by the de-
lay of the cars from up river and by
agreement Of counsel the case was
concluded with only 10 jurymen. The
jury retired soon after II, and after 4
consultation of an hour and a half, re-
turned verdict for the defendant. The
amount of the notes sued for was $500
and about two years interest. 1t is
under stood that the case will be taken
to the law court.
This action was followed by that of
George r. Gillett VS.. Frederick Fl. F..
Bragg. Both parties reside in Fair
field. The suit is one for alleged false
IMPRISONMENT, for which damages are
claimed in the sum Of $500. GiIIett was
arrested at Fairfield in May. 1901, upon
a debt due the firm of Crommett &
Bragg, of which the defendant was a
member. The writ was a special writ
under the statute permitting the arrest
of debtors who are about to depart and
reside without the State, taking prop
erty with them more than sufficient for
their immediate needs. 1t was accom-
panied by an affidavit sworn to by the
defendant before George M. Chapman,
justice of the peace. This affidavit the
plaintiff claims to have been entirely
without foundation, and falsely and
maliciously sworn to. He claims that
he had no intention of leaving the State
and the defendant had no reasonable
grounds for believing this to be the
case: that the subsequent arrest and
confinement in the county Jail was an
arbitrary abuse of civil process, and
that the defendant has rendered him
self liable to the plaintiff in damages

CHARLIE TONES TRIUMPH.
Defended Castle and Settled Chinese
Question Once for All.

Yesterday a man who was and Stlll
is old enough to know better, who evil
IDENTIFY knows enough, but can not
think of it all of the time, entered the
uuick-lime and water emporium of
Charles Tong on Main street Charlie
said: do sir and the stranger al
lowed that he did just as he pleased.
The stranger had no bundle under his
arm or any check in his hand. He had
however, some of last falls apple crop
reduced to liquid form under his vest.
He managed to ask Charles n lot of
questions which the latter could not
answer on account of his limited COM
mand of the English language. The
stranger referred to rats several times
and accused Charles of being given to
masticatng rodents in various forms.
Charles told the stranger in the best
manner at his command to vacate the
premises and the stranger told Charles
TO go where snowballs will melt quick.
Now if there is anything that a
Chinaman dslikes it is to be sent
where Confucius allowed always that
none but awfully bad Cinnamon dwelt
after they are through doing washing
and kindred work. This strange Chris
tan 'riled" Charles and he showed it.
With a whoop that would have stag
gered the noble 9th before Tien Tsin,
Charles scaled the counter and began
hosrilities.
There also came a yell from the
stranger as he fled precipitately before
the avalanche of Chinese form and
language. Now Charles wears not the
shoe of custom in the Celestial en-
pirc. On the contrary he wears the
regulation number eight Douglass with
solid tap. This instrument of pun
ishment was put to use where it would
do the most good and left several deep
impressions of it's attack which will re-
quire considerable pressing to remove.
You see Charles looked bigger out
side the counter than he did behind it.
and as the stranger was a small man
himself he used good judgment in
starting a retreat before the whole
force landed. What Charles said as
his visitor hurried down street, at
pace that was as rapid as old cider
could stand, is lost forever. No
stenographer could have caught even
the drift of his address. He inadver-
tently used an English word now and
then which was probably intended for
emphasis. and by the way. have you
not noticed that almost the first words
q foreigner learns of our language are
those which are commonly used to
emphasize speech?
When Charles returned to his castle
he sprinkled water over several cuffs
and collars. making a spray nozzle Of
his face in style that resembled the
sudden bursting of a piece of fire hose
under great pressure.

The VioIinist.

He stood before the crowd and played,
| sat as one enchanted;
Full with his every mood | Swayed
And drew deep breaths and painted.
He played: | heard sweet songbirds sing
And exc the rush of rivers;
With one sad sweep across a string
lie filled me full of shiveTs.
He seemed to WELD a magic bow,
He sent my fancy soaring:
/ heard sweet maidens whisper low
And raging lions roaring.
He ceased. and some one near me cried:
"Well, how'd you like the fiddling?"
A fat girl chewing gum replied:
