A LAWSUIT.


 Squire Nickerson was sitting in his office the other day leisurely reading the newspaper, when man rushed in with a child in each hand and asked in loud voice for Squire Nickerson 'I guess I'm the man you are look ing for" answered the squire, laying aside his paper. f
 You Squire Nickerson?'' asked the man sharply. Well you are the man I'm looking for, and I want to file suit"
 Whom do you wish to file suit against?" queired the squire. Here the man released the children and be- gan some mild gesticulaitons, which signified more heat to follow. q want to sue a woman down at my boarding house"
 What has she done ?,
 Shes got dishpan of mine squire, and I want to sue her for 1t X Yes, you might get the dishpan by suing her for it." agreed the squire, but how does she happen to have you dishpan?"
 well" said the stranger slowly, T broke a lamp chimney belonging to her, and she took the dishpan. She said that she would keep it until I paid her for the lamp chimney. But I want to sue her and get the dish- pam Now, look here. my good man 7 said the squire, you don't want to do anything of the kind. You want to take 10 cents, go down to the grocery and buy & lamp chimney and then take it down to the woman and get your dishpan."
 'But can't I get it by suing herr" asked the man stubbornly.
 You might get the dishpan, and it might cost you several dollars. In- stead of spending carefare to come up here and see me, you could have paid new lamp chimney bought by this time, and your dishpan would be un- der your arm"
 "The lamp chimney will cost only cents.''
 And you wanted to bring suit rather than settling the trouble for a nickel?" asked the squire incred- | ulously. .s.e~ .- "
 Never thought of settling 1t the way you suggest, squire, remarked the man, after a, thoughtful pause, "but I reckon you are right Where upon he took his two children by the hands and left the office. @

IN AND ABOUT THE COURTS
THE COMMON PLEAS CRIMINAL
 COURT SITS TO-DAY.
The Jury Sits on TriaIs-Edward De- JOuI and James O. Jones on Trial Arguments on Habeas Corpus Pro- eeedings Ended-Judge Tyner Active Yesterday.

eeedings Ended-Judge Tyner Active
 Yesterday.
 In the common pleas civil court yes terday. with Judge Ullman presiding, argument was heard in proceedings of habeas corpus for the control of the lit- tie three-year-old son of John Higgins, who appeared as plaintiff. Both the plaintiff and the defendant of this case, Higgins ys. Sheahan, are from New Haven and are well known. Higgins is employed in the fire department and is charged with disowning and desertion of his wife and child, drunkenness and general immortality. Higgins and his young wife had been separated previ- ous to the death of the latter. During peaceful times they had lived in the home of his wife's father, MT. Sheahan, and on the death of Mrs. Higgins the Sheahan family had maintained and cared for the child.
 The child is now three years old, and his father seeks control of him through habeas corpus proceedings. The ques- tion at issue was whether or not the little one's welfare in the future would be lessened by influences and environ ment in the present home at the Shea hans or at the home which MT. Higgins, his father, seeks to offer him, which is at his mothers home"
 In the argument before the court ap- peared Attorneys Isbell and Booth for the plaintiff and Attorneys Walsh and Fitzgerald for the defendant.
 The defendants attorneys made in- passioned and very feeling arguments, at times attacking fiercely the position of the husband and characterizing him as wholly unfit, in every point of view, to have the care of rearing one so young; at other times pictured the grief-stricken young mother, who quickly succumbed to consumption. At her death MT. Higgins had not visited the Sheahan family; during the time of the separation till the death of Mrs. Higgins the husband had been seen around with other women. The court was appealed to let the little boy stay with it's grandparents, the Sheahans.
 Attorneys Booth and Isbell, for the plaintiff, answered with calm and ju- tiiciaI arguments and claimed the fath- CTS legal claim to his son; that the young man was from an unimpeacha- ble family, and that if it should please the court to allow the father to the control of his son there could be no danger to his future welfare, since then ne would enter a home under the noth- erly care and direction of MT. Higgins mother, whose family numbered seven- teen; therefore, experience in home training could not be lacking. s .-%
 The arguments ended at 5:S5 p. m., and Judge Ullman announced that the decision would be rendered on Thurs day at 10 a. m.
