COMEDY IN HARBOR COURT
Involves Vision, Which Came True,
tive from Justice.

Indiana Harbor, April 21.-(Special.)
An innocent pair of trousers has been
the cause of any amount of trouble In
Indiana Harbor, since they were pur-
chased by a customer of Mrs. Sarah
Zablin, who runs a clothing store in
Cedar street.
The circumstances involve a vision
which came true, an accusation which
failed to be proven true, an arrest for
provoke, a fine for ditto, another fine
for contempt of court, and a fugitive
from justice is the individual who was
fined for contempt, but who managed to
slip out of the room while Judge Jones
who WIS the fall guy for this peck
of troubles, and Constable Muller, his
accessory, were not looking.
1t seems that the said pants, (these
trousers were really pants.) had been
purchased Friday, the man who bought
them having in view the purpose of
wearing them to church on Easter.
They were too long and were left for
alteration. being thrown over a pile of
unsold goods on the counter
That night Mrs. cabin was awakened
out of sound sleep by a vision. It
was that some one had willfully and
felonerously stolen the pants. She
| went into the store to investigate.
Alas, too true! The pants were not
there.
She bethought her of Mary varona.
Mary had scrubbed the floor the day be-
fore, and it seemed reasonable to Mrs.
ZabIin to suppose that she had stolen
the garment.
Early next day she visited the home
of Mary and accused the scrub-lady of
being a thief.
| Mary denied all knowledge of the
trousers and had Mrs. Zablin arrested
for provoke. The case was tried be-
fore Justice Jones yesterday-and here
the plot thickens.
| All the witnesses who appeared to
testify that Mrs. Zablin was too much
of lady to call any other lady a thief
insisted on talking at once.
| One little Hebrew was especially of
fensive to his Honor in this respect.
| Judge Jones finally made an example
of him and fined the offender IS.
But while all were talking nobody
was looking the little chap on whom
the contempt fine had been imposed
quietly faded away.
/ When his absence was noted, an eff
| fort was made to identify him and
| bring him into court, but strange a:
it may seem, no one knew who he was
though until he disappeared all seemed
to be on friendly enough terms with
him.
/ The case ended with Mrs. Joblin be-
| ing fined 81 and costs and Constable
Muller registering VOW that he woulC
bring the abstreperous and fugitive
witness into court and make him pay
his fine if it took all summer.
