AFTER ELEVEN YEARS
Judge Cowell Decides to Re-
 store Case to Docket.

Attorneys Root and Bronson Had q
 Sparring Matcl as to Whether the
 Case Should Be Resurrected or Not
 Several Other Cases Disposed of at
 Short Calendar Meeting To-day.
 The final short calendar of the sea- son was held in the district court this morning. The cases of Rocco vs Rous so and J. Peck x Go vs A. L. Smith & Co were set down for hearing next Monday, and the Scovill Manufacturing Go vs the Bonsilate Box Go for Thurs day. A number of cases that were stricken on the docket were restored to it on motions of lawyers interested. One case, Brickley ys Atterson, caused some fun. Attorney Root moved for the restoration of this case. while At torney Bronson opposed it. It seems that this case was heard about eleven years ago and Judge Bradstreet who was the judge that heard it, has not yet given his decision. Attorney Root thought that it was about time the court was heard from while Attorney Bronson thought that as they had wait ed eleven years for q decision they could afford to wait a little longer. The principal parties to the case are dead, the essential witnesses have gone to parts unknown, and Judge Cowell thought that in a year or so there will
 be none living hereabouts who will know anything about the case.
 Attorney Root said he had been speaking to Attorney Bronson about the case. This Attorney Bronson ad- mitted but said Attorney Root said he did not attack him on his agreeable side. To this Attorney Root said he did not know Attorney Bronson had an agreeable side to him, and when Attor- ney Bronson said he had, Attorney Root replied that no one ever saw it in court anyway. And then the room rang with laughter. The case was re- stored to the docket with the under standingthat it must be heard before the winter term.
 The following motions were disposed of: John F. Sullivan vs George T. KenZle, bond of $500. special bail was ordered in two weeks; Victoria A. l.. Cottingham vs James J. Moore and
 Bridget Shea, two cases, hearing in damages ordered for Wednesday morn ing. Judgment for foreclosure was
