Had to Pay the Costs.

Harry Waller was arrested last
week charged with hitting his
mother-in-law, Mrs. Walters. in
the face with lamp stand. From
the evidence it appears that Harry
and his women folks couldn't get
along together and he decided to
get out. During the removal of his
goods, Mrs. Walters claimed that
the lamp stand was her property
and tried to pull it away from
Harry as me was carrying it away.
During the tug of war which en-
sued, the stand pulled apart. and
Mrs. Walters, from the force of
her eXertiOns. fell backward over
a fower-box. The piece of the
stand struck her i'm the face. max
ing slight abrasion. About a
dozen witnesses appeared for and
against Harry. the best one of
whom was l3-year-old Willie Cain.
After listening patiently To all the
evidence, Justice Crow decided that
Harry was more Sinned against
than SHINING. and taxed the plaintiff
(NlrS. Walters with the costs Of
the case and dismissed the warrant.
