Edgerton Reporter Secures Judgment.


Edgerton, Sept. IL Judgments were
settled in the municipal and circuit
courts of Rock county on Friday last in
the case of Coon VS.. Tall which amount
ed to $40 A. After taking the Wiscon-
sin Tobacco Reporter for nearly ten
years Samuel Tall, IAN Albion town
farmer, refused to pay the bill when it
was presented to him. f. w. Coon,
the publisher, promptly brought suit
against him for the amount. The case
was tried in the justice court in Edger-
ton, Feb. 2, 1909, before a jury de-
manded and paid for by the defendant.
After listening to the testimony the
jury found for the plaintiff in a iudg-
ment of $40 % and costs amounting to
something over 1923. The defendant
then filed an appeal to the municipal
court of Rock county but never called
up the case for trial for nearly two
years when the plaintiff secured its dis
missal with an additional judgment for
costs of $40. Having got his iudg-
ments firmly fixed on the court records
the plaintiff allowed matters to rest I'M
til Mr. Tall finally discovered that they
were a lien upon his property and the
sheriff might come upon him any day
with an execution, when he employed
an attorney and promptly paid into
court the amount Of the claims with in
terest and expenses added. Thus

been compromised with the publisher,

to beat the printer.

-Four little tots in Ellsinor. Mo.
We're made happy today by A. w

to a letter sent to Santa Claus. care
United States Pension Agency. Topeka
A big box. loaded with presents. candy
and nuts started this morning to the
home in Ellsinor. where the Saint
Nick's visits have been alarmingly ir-
regular
Among the great piles of letters
which come to the pension office each
day Farmer Smith this week found
plain square envelope addressed to
Santa Claus and directed to the Topeka
agency Smith himself read and re-
red the four short letters from each of
four innocent and hopeful children in
the Missouri town. Somehow. the let
tiers appealed to the pension agent,
and between the lines they told a story
of want and distress in the home of
which he had never heard. Each child
told of the presents they wanted. Their
wants We're not large and that night,
Smith talked the matter over with his
family.

What Kids Wanted
Newton Stratton. aged IL years,
that he wanted a book and that he
needed pair of gloves to wear to
school. Leonard. 3 years old, had
probably told his mother what he
wanted for Christmas. It wasn't much,
but it may mean a brighter world to
a hopeful tot. The child asked for
an A. B. c. book, a toy horse and
bag of candy. Edna. aged years,
wanted big doll and some nuts, while
Oracle, aged 4 years. asked for a doll.
In the big box which Smith sent to
the Stratton home were two big sleep
ing beauty dolls, the gloves. books. a
toy horse that really runs and walks
and bags Of candy and nuts for all of
the children. Their father is dead, the
letter said, and as Smith unused over
the four letters he wondered if per
haps that letter to Santa Claus was not
the last lingering hope of some fond
mother who saw no Christmas cheer
for her little ones.
Z don't know who they are" said
Smith, as he studied the letters. but
somehow those appeals hit a tender
spot. 1t didn't cost much to answer
their letters and if l can make those
children happy, it viii be worth every

He HAS NEW PLAN
Simon Thinks He Can Keep
Jordan in Jail.
Will Reverse Usual Procedure
to Accomplish Purpose.

Ed Jordan's release from the county
Jail has brought out some legal COM
plications concerning which County
Attorney Simon. the county commits
sioners and Jordan's attorneys can not
agree. After "A hours of fresh air
treatment, Jordan is again in jail, and
Simon insists the jointist must serve
the 700 days which are necessary to
square his account with the county
Jordan was given an unconditional
release because of his failing health.
The first day out of JAIL Jordan kick
ed up a big family row and Wednes-
day night was returned to jail on the
old commitment This move was or
dered by Simon, who insists the coun-
" board exceeded its authority and
that he himself was not fairly treated
when Jordan's pardon came before the
board.
He Was Not Notified. He Says.
1.-The board said nothing to me
/ should have refused to permit their
action They had no authority to re-
lease Jordan. Arrangements should
have at least been made to secure a
man where we could get to him in an
emergency. 1 will insist that Jordan
serves his time
According to Simon's construction of
the law, Jordan must first serve a,
month, the served time to cover the
fine on that count. Then he would do
the same thing with the second count
and on down to the sixth and last
charge. The law says the county board
cannot pardon a prisoner except to re-
init fine and costs On this basis Jor-
dan would have some Is months vet
70 serve before the board could inter
fere.
Simon's theory is not accepted by all
lawyers and there are opinions that a
man first serves his sentence. then his
tine and costs. On this basis, the board
