On January End Squire f. d. Cliff
ford held his d1rst court in the
town OF Gary. w. Va. Owing TO the
notoriety OF the case the company
store had TO be used to accommo-
dare the array OF witnesses and To-
gal talent engaged In the case. At
iGhs opening OF court tho squire APP
pointed J. Taylor, Jr., and Jas. II.
Baker asgooste justices. The priB-
oner was represented by Attorney
FrOe, OF Welch.
II seems THAT q trusted coon"
employed in Ben PowsIPs saloon at
Wtcoe, w. Va, had on or about
January LIST taken money from the
said Powell's cash register. Three
reputable "coons" seeing the theft
reported the matter 10 Mr.. Powell.
A warrant was at once sworn out,
and served on the party who was
brought before the new squire for
trial. The three reputable witness
60 statsd ON oath they positively
saw tho prisoner take the money out
Of the register and knew II was a
ten dollar note because they saw
they say the figures 1 and on IT.
Mr.. Powell stated his register was
short on checking up tho sales this
day. After . motion by Attorney

technicahty which was oyerruled by
tho court, tho squire then rendered
bh decision, anding the prisoner
guilty and subject to a fne OF t11.66
Tho constab,s was then called TO
tho rear OF the store. Some one
turned the night lock on the front
door an dths prisoner in swo leaps
was through the door and hid in
the darkness. The constable made
a hurried search bat no trace OF
the coon could be found. After
TO Squire Clifford

conducted his hrst case, court Ad-
journed.
After the adjournment the squire
was "msde wise" that this was

ed By the clifford s'ection boomers
so as to witness his frst experience
a court OF justice. The Joke was
