writes Interestingly about Queer Fal-

OLD CLOCK BASIS
FOR A LAW SUIT
Two Men Claim Ownership OF
it and Justice Will De-
eide Dispute.
1T HAS A HISTORY

Grandfather's clock, one of those
good old fashioned kind that stood on
the floor and reached almost to the
ceilings of the homes of our forefath-
ers, and one that run forty years
without slumbering, its life's seconds
numbering is the cause of a SUIT en-
tered in Justice Barrick's court.
Some years ago Charles Mist, better
known as "Bant" Mist, conducted one
of the best saloons in the city and
among his other possessions was
grandfather's clock, standing on the
iloor of the saloon. This old clock
was his pride, and when reverses came
to Mist he refused to part with it, plac-
ing it in the possession of John Buss,
another saloonist. Here the clock
stood for years, ticking each second
and sounding the hours as they passed
by. Mist was one Of the patrons of
Buss' saloon and often stood there
while the hands on the dial pointed
to the wee small hours, it being his
delight to hear the old clock strike
the hours,
Finally Mist wanted his clock back,
and Buss refused to give it to him.
Constable Brainard Rohn was sent
down to the Buss place, but all he got
was sound of the clock striking the
hours. Buss refused to give it up,
claiming ownership. Hence the suit
started before Justice Barrick.
A fight for the ownership Of the old
time-piece will be waged January 4.
