A dispatch dated San Juan del Sur last
night says the outposts of the government
army were attacked by an advance party
of the revolutionary forces at Laverdas,
ten miles from Acoyapa, yesterday morn
ing. The fight was short and resulted in
the government force being driven back
into the town.
There was scare at government head
quarters when the disordered outposts
fed into the town. and Gen. Velasquez i'm
mediately threw two thousand men into
action. The attacking party was small
and easily repelled.
News Of the skirmish was eagerly re-
ceived at Managua, but there was no
alarm there as the officials profess con-
fidence that Estrada's army will eventu-
ally be OyerthroWn.

at TalleyViIIe

The courtroom in West Brandywine
Grange han at Talleyville was throng-
ed last night with persons Interested
in two important, very important trials
held there. one was of a well-known
resident Of Brandywine hundred ac-
cused Of the larceny of two chickens
of the Easter chick variety. and the
other purported to be an action in
divoice The trial was a farce all the
way through, as IL was intended by
the Changers to be.
The judges were T. r. Weldin.

Francis II. Hoffecker was district
attorney, and George l.. Medin was
counsel for the defendants Clarence
Fraim was clerk of the court and the
jurors. who were required TO take an

7 thing but the evidence were Lewis

Leroy Pierce, Mrs. Jennie r. Bartels
Miss Cox, Miss Hanna and Miss Daw-
son.
The first case, that OF j. Atwood

mobile and killing two chickens. was
/ dismissed because the district attor-
ney found it difficult to produce wit

chickens that had escaped being run
down by an automobile. Counsellor
Medills defense that T. T. Weldin, Jr.

mare and the theft was only a dream

divorce action of Elihu Talley VS.. Ros'
Talley. OF course, lest anybody take
it too seriously, il should be STATED
that it was a "moclS trial. Th'
grounds alleged for the divoice were
incompatibility Of temper and extrav-
agance. Mr.. Taney, through Mr.. Hof
fecker set forth that he had allowed
his wife forty-two cents week fo
spending money, but she was not sat
isfied and nearly bankrupted him b,
