\ knOtty Case.

The Homecoming STIR of FrOstburg
descants at some length upon the case
redundantly stated as the zone wherein
the town was sued by Daniel Scally
who sued the town. etc.
Matter is mentioned here because the
JOURNAL does not think attorney Cor
don used the word 'unCOnStitutiOnal'
concerning "a law which forbids JUS
tice of the peace to try cases outside his
jurisdiction"
In this case all parties, including at
tOrneys, agreed to have judge Decker, of
Eckhart, try the issue, and money was
saved by the arrangement.
Additional interest is occasiOncd by
justice Chambers announced deter
mination to file the statement of the
Homecoming star of Frostburg with the
town clerk as his plea for compensation
for judicial services rendered before the
case went before justice Decker
So far his claim has been denied.
What effect the favor, influence and
force of the Homecoming STIR of Frost
burg will work in his behalf remains tC
be seen.
The JOURNAL names the matter al
this moment and thus publicly because
it does not approve of waiting until
Council meets and then taking that ag
gregation unawares by writing out au
order and springing it Oh them as from
ambush
