between the two
Check Up Accounts.
After listening to the evidence on
both sides, and charges by the Loon
eys and explanations and denials by
the defendant, for several hours yester-
day afternoon, ]. X Scott, the states
attorney, suggested that the case show
ed but little evidence of criminal in
tention on the part of Rice, and that
the most satisfactory plan of action
in view of the situation shown, would
be for the Looneys' and Rice to go
over their accounts and straighten
them out, with the justice of the peace
as the referee.
This plan met with favor on both
sides, and was accordingly adopted.
Some time was spent in following out
this suggestion last evening, and it
was taken up again today.
