appeal
John Campbell was the plaintiff in a
case called before Judge Newcomb. He
sued to recover wages from Joseph
Cassesse. The latter. employed a man
named Barber to move a building for
him on West Lackawanna avenue.
Campbell was employed by Barber. but
fearing he would not get his wages
went to Cassesse and said he was about
to quit. Cassesse said he had s16O Of
money belonging to Barber. and he
asked Campbell to continue at work
htu liz "oulu pay Hiii Out VI tit NloIley
he had in hand. When the work was
completed the money in Cassesse's
hands was not sufficient to pay Camp
bell the entire amount coming to him,
and he sued for the balance. The court
decided that Cassesse was liable only
for the amount in his hands, and IA non
suit was granted.
Similar action was taken in the case
of William Brown against Cassesse,
whose case was identical with that Of
Campbell.
BY agreement IL verdict for $3.50 was
taken in the case of Annette Reynolds
against Thomas Brooks and the Green
wood Coal company. The plaintiffs
thought they had title to certain land
near Moosic and cut 1.50O trees it con-
tanned for timbering the Greenwood

the property Of Miss Reynolds the de-
PENDANTS agreed to compensate her, and
the amount was fixed at $3.50. Attor-
ney G. Balentine appeared for the
plaintiff, and Major Everett Warren for
the defendant.
Late in the afternoon the ejectmcnt
case of w. G. Miller against G. w,
Cramer and John Cure was put on trial
before Judge Newcomb. Some land in
Blakely containing coal is in dispute.
The case was tried here once before
and the verdict was for the defendant.
The plaintiff took an appeal to the
supreme court and the court of this
county was sustained. The defendant
then ruled the plaintiff to bring his see
ond suit. two VerdictS being necessary
to fix title to land.
The dispute is as to the boundary of
the land. the deed prescribing an out
crop of conglomerate rock as one of the
boundaries. There is a difference of
opinion between the parties to the suif
as to just where this outcrop is. The
