OF all the plays that have come
from the pen of Lincoln j Carter,
by far the best is @The Eleventh

Hooff's Opera House. Friday night,
Feb. 2 The play is a melodrama
of the higher order in which virtue
is triumphant and vice in the per-
sen of the polished villain is duly
punished before the finale. The
old mill scene in the first act is
said to be very pretty. as is also
the Bismarck Garden. with it's

WrangIe Over a Calf.

Rival claimants as, to the own
ership of a calf furnished cause
for very interesting little ses-
sion of Squire Staton's court at
Oak Hill, Fayette county, on Sat
urday evening. A few weeks ago
Will Hunter, of Fayetteville,
had a calf to stray from home,
and about the same time E. NJ.
Crotty, the Oak Hill butcher, lost
his pet calf. Hunter found what
he supposed to be his calf in the
Sanger pasture and took it home.
Crotty claimed the calf and
brought suit to recover it. Hun
ter engaged Attorney Hubbard,
and Orotty secured the services
of lawyer Summerield and the
calf was drived into Squire Sta
toms court. There were a half
dozen witnesses on both sides
equally positive as to the identity
and ownership of the calf. The
Square was stumped until some
one suggested that the calf be
turned loose and see where it
would go. 1t was unroped and
Immediately ran to Crotty's lane
and turned into the barn. The
lawyers ceased their wrangling
and the Squire declared the calf
to be the property of Mr.. Crotcy.
Hunter is still short ofhis brindle
calf.-Hinton Independent-Her-
